I just heard a rumour that Gran Turismo will feature horse racing to help capture new fans.
That was easy.
I think what he is trying to get at is, without showing a source, you might as well be saying all the vehicles are made of pudding, and you can retrofit all the cars with skis.
I was getting at these first two quotes, and wasn't sure if the underbody one was also an on-the-spot claim. I know you guys are joking around, but it gets old and out of control.
But as DR says, if you are going to claim something about any game, (especially GT5 or Forza as there are always fanboys fighting) have something to back it up.

I heard Turn 10 has made fairly generic underbodies of the cars and it is noticable when the Lamborghini rolls the gearbox is mounted the wrong way. Thats what I remember hearing but I am not sure if it is true, but frankly I don't really expect them to model the underbodies all that accurately.

Yeah, just take a couple of quick shots of the bottom when they are photographing the car, and have the general placement of things right. It doesn't need to be exact, by any means. But then if PD models the undersides exactly (and they would, if they will be seen...), that gives something for the GT fanboys to claim as a win. How could anybody call Forza a simulator if the undersides of cars don't look right, ya know?

No since people have seen me post long enough to know I am quite serious. And there is little point linking to a japanese interview. It´s your problem not mine if you don´t trust me. As mentioned go into forzamotorsport.net for all the latest gossip
Without posting sources, anything you say is just as likely to be true as me making a claim that there is realistic clutch and brake wear, and that engines will randomly encounter catastrophic failure if abused too much and not rebuilt after a certain amount of mileage. Also, there is a rock crawling career with Jeeps and such. But I've been here like six years so you don't need me to post sources.

In fairness the comment about the undersides of the cars being modelled has already been mentioned in this thread and as far as I was aware was common knowledge. I wouldn't expect a source to be posted for every comment made and I'm glad we don't or else we'd have threads with links all over the place. I think the important thing isn't to always post the source in the first place (some times that is important but not in every case) but to be willing to post the source if asked which is an approach I'd suggest that oqvist should accept.

Actually, I think John Wedl said the underbodies are fully modeled.
Why would we want to go to FM.net for news? Nothing there is any actual news, just absurd speculations, wishing thinking, Forza praising, etc. etc.No since people have seen me post long enough to know I am quite serious.

If someone wants Forza news, they can come to Forzacentral. That's where the majority of FM.net's users have been reposting info from BADNED as their own.
Ouch another preview mentioning no weather http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/forza_motorsport_3/preview-1779.html
First time I heard Forza 3 will simulate dirty air. Hope slip streaming is there too though to compensate

Many people here would know I'm usually pretty easy on Forza 3, but this one does actually annoy me, because its a blatant lie. Other things are still either subjective or speculation because the game isn't out yet (best graphics, best physics, best racing experience, etc). But saying no other racing game simulates tire deformation is a blatant lie. LFS has it, and does it extremely well... you can even download the demo for free and see it (one view puts you between the wheels with no visable car, only the wheels visable, and you can clearly see how it simulates tire flex).
EDIT: One of the things I love about LFS is you really feel in touch with your tires as you drive.

Live For Speed isn't available for any console and DiRT 2 has not been released yet. I'm pretty sure of all their comments refer to console games. Anyway, does it really matter what the developer says? Gran Turismo claims to be the Real Driving Simulator, but I beg to differ. The guys from Team Ninja who made Ninja Gaiden and DOA used to claim that their games are the best games of all time. It didn't stop me from enjoying their games (even if they weren't the best ever).
I'm gonna wait for the game to come out, hopefully a demo will be available as well and I'll see if the game is worth my $60. If I feel it is, I'll buy it regardless of what some developer or PR person said.
Some nice pictures Le Mans track.

I'm going to assume Turn10 couldn't get the tire manufacturers on board this time.
