Forza Motorsport 3

[McLaren]

Don't bring that stupid topic in here, please. If you want a 240 like the rest of those folks who have started whining at FM & FC, don't buy this pack & wait for the "JDM/Drifters Special" one....
We were told from the near start that this pack would feature 2010 vehicles.

 

[TS]

I bought a 360 elite this past weekend, and got a copy of FM3, and so far it is the best racer I've played since GT4 came out.

👍

 

[Eric.]

Nice to see cars like the 240SX in there...

Huh?

 

[Jay]

2010 vehicles eh?

*Awaits SLS AMG*

 

[Eric.]

Nevermind...

Last 2 cars have been revealed.

Spoiler

Ferrari 599XX
Nissan GT-R Spec-V

And I ask again...how the freak do you know this?

Awesome, I really didn't plan on buying this DLC but the GT-R is pretty much the only car I'm interested in.

 

[Eric.]

Sweet, we're actually getting the GT-R...!

Because some staff member at FM.net is releasing the teasers in 1 specific thread instead of making a new blog about them. This also going against Landin saying he would not release any more teasers til' after the weekend.

So, unless you stay up all night & kept up with the thread, we'd have never known.

Hooray for people who can't (or can apparently to some extent) keep information to themselves.

Erm...they only did what they were supposed to, post teaser photos. People just guessed the cars from the teasers is all.

I can't wait to drive the GT-R and I already have a brand new completely unique livery waiting to go onto it!

No, they didn't. The next teasers weren't supposed to be posted at a later date in the blog, not in 1 specific thread.

Included in this report are two mysterious spy shots of the two cars we have yet to reveal. Have a look at the images and post your guess as a comment to this blog. Make sure to include the mystery car number with your guess so we know what car you’re talking about. To be clear the two mystery shots in this blog are from two different cars, not the same car. Have a look and post your guesses. Winners will be determined early next week once the official Hot Holidays DLC video reveals the full car list! The first 10 people to post a comment with the make and model of either of the mystery cars will win a free Unicorn car courtesy of Turn 10. Have fun.

What's the point? Some idiot already revealed them to us, & BADNED confirmed it.

I thought they were using a thread to post the new ones instead of the blog? That's what confused me as I couldn't see any blog updates regarding the teaser shots but they have already been guessed in the thread!

As you said, why are they even bothering when everyone already knows what they are? D'oh!

 

[Mark T]

I've been away from Forza three for about a month now but noticed today that there was an update including gear change movement. Nice.

 

[Bogie 19th]

I hope the instrument panels work in these cars. Sigh.

You'd think they would after the complaints that came over a month ago.

Which is another problem, the cars you win for progressing through the game are not worth squat in game credits wise. So basically even if you don't like them, or really fancy something similar but a little different, you're basically still kinda forced to use them. Especially so given how tight fisted the game is at awarding credits versus the prices on some of the cars (ie 10,000,000 cr for a Shelby Cobra Coupe... whatever). I've played the game for near 50 hrs already and my total earnings are only about 6mil up to this point.

GT is much better at making the anticipation of winning new cars feel truly rewarding.

You are missing the point about the 100cr cars, first is for balance, you would by full of credits if you could sell them for the half of the value like the other cars, also you can always sell them in the auction house, normally you can get the 70% the full price of cheap cars and up to 40% of expensive cars, so if you have online then is really dumb to sell them for 100cr. (sucks for offline people but atleast they are nice cars mostly)

I agree that the economy could use some tweaking, most of the cars are ok in price but theres some cars that cost 1.5-2.0 millions and those 4 really stupid cars that cost over 10 millions each! that where gets really dumb, is impossible or extremelly boring at best to get those 4 cars, they should cost 5 millions at max or the game should give you more money.

Not to mention their performance isn't anything near what the price asks. I'm not talking about 0-60 times, or raw horsepower...I mean they're unbelievably boring to drive. I might even use the word lame.

 

[Eric.]

Uh...The Shelby Cobra is a damn good car to drive for being a '67...The Ferrari 250 (roadster - Testa Rossa?) also drove really good when I raced it online in some oddly restricted race us GTPers had.

Never said they weren't good. They're boring and it's that much worse being how expensive they are. I'm not blowing 10, 15, or 20 million credits on any of those cars (in game, actually being able to snag one is a different story) I could give a rat's ass how much of a damn good car they are. I'll take them for a spin in Free Play for....Free.

Come again? You claim they are boring. I disagree that they aren't boring. You agree with me and say they are boring.

You: Good but boring.

 

[Terronium-12]

Yeah. I never said they weren't "good" in any particular context, nor did I ever explain what I meant by boring either.

The GTO (20 mil) has no definitive character, it feels kind of generic. It handles well but it lacks charisma, you know? The engine note is sub-par, it almost sounds muffled.

I can say the same for the others in one form or another. I don't get anything from it.

Maybe it's just me.

 

[Chronos]

So who's buying the DLC?

Will it become cheaper later on with bundle packs?

 

[Rue]

So who's buying the DLC?

Absolutely and definitely as soon as I get home. I wish they would put the lightweight supercars that the people who were only able to buy the basic version (don't get me started) of the game couldn't get their hands on. I will never forgive Turn10 for doing that yet I am still throwing 400 MSP their way. Thanks for rewarding the loyal people, you @)#*(& muppets!

I don't like you very much, you and your time zone wizardry.

Unfortunately I don't think I get it any earlier. I'm under the impression it goes online based on US time (don't know which timezone there though.

All the DLC for XBL is based on US PST so it will be released at 2:00am PST 5:00am EST 10:00am GMT I hope this helps.
