Forza3 Definitive Trailer: AKA Why we are better than GT5 w Pro Racer Testimonials.

o Video playback will start at a low bit rate for fast download time and then ramp up to a higher bitrate and quality

This is exactly what frosty, the guy i quoted, said.
You wont get real 1080p until youre already extremely far into the movie, so if you want the movie in true FullHD for the whole time you would need to download it completely before watching it.

Microsoft cant do magical wonders and it wouldnt be the first time that a "great feature" from them doesnt work like it should, just look how many flaws Windows Vista has, or look at the RROD disaster.

 

[MonkeySkater]

You know, for someone who doesnt care, you are putting a lot of effort into defending MS.

 

[Bogie 19th]

"Extremely Far". Sorry, do you have back up for that? I am at a 25mb connection. How far into the movie will I get 1080p? During the final credits?

Microsoft is a predatory monopoly who runs a corporation with illegal business practices, and creates many hardware products that a below acceptable levels of quality. They make some of the worst hardware in the world. If it wasn't for their semi-decent keyboards and mice, they wouldn't have a credible piece of hardware that they designed (well, maybe their controller).

No different than Sony, and their garbage they have produced. Endless DRE's and lawsuits with the PS2s, the more frequent YLOD rolling in on 60gb launch models, the laptop batteries that were failing and starting on fire.

Both companies continue to release shoddy ass products, and that is completely unacceptable in my opinion.

So, you are saying that Microsoft won't offer this service, and it won't work? I assume they must not have done any testing is what you are saying?

You know, for someone who doesnt care, you are putting a lot of effort into defending MS.

Where did I defend MS? All I did was defend a feature I like. Did I upset you in anyway. Should I be drinking Sony koolaid? I am not sure I follow? I would never defend either company, cuz they both suck. I am only defending some features that I like. I really don't get it. Shoud I go on about how I defended Sony and praised them for offering a larger storage medium for games (Blu-ray), and MS screwed up by offering DVD, and not making HDDs standard? If you want me to defend Sony, I can do that too.

 

[MonkeySkater]

Hell no you didnt upset me. Im loving the last few pages of this thread. Im so captivated, wondering what going to come out of your keyboard next. Keep going!

Dont take things personal please

 

[Bogie 19th]

I don't, it's just an internet forum. How about something constructive. Can anyone recommend a better way for me to get some screenshots of GT5p besides setting up a PVR device? That is, if anyone looked at my horrible pics?

That belongs to your connection, the server and the size and length of the movie, i bet it would be possible to tell if you can give me 100% exact numbers.

Dont disagree on the points you brought up, im not comparing Sony to Microsoft here because, while i like Sony and their work more, theyre both just huge, anonymous companies.

Both companies continue to release shoddy ass products, and that is completely unacceptable in my opinion.

So, you are saying that Microsoft won't offer this service, and it won't work? I assume they must not have done any testing is what you are saying?

I dont say they wont offer this, i just say it wont work like you imagine it will. You just quoted Microsofts press release stating the exact same thing the guy i quoted above said, they just wont get into too much detail because it would look stupid, PR 101.

Seriously, you can disagree with me as often as you want, but this will not change technical facts.

 

[Kingdizzi]

Come Tuesday I'm willing to bet there will be no more guesses and we will be able to compare GT5 to Forza 3. 4 days to go and personally cannot wait for the GT5 info at Gamecom. If not then I will simply cry for a couple hours and calling myself stupid for jumping on the hype train.

I am already setting up at my work to remote home to record and obtain all GT5 info so I can watch it over and over again. It's gonna be epic.

Was anything shown at Gamescom last year, i think that will be a good indicator as to wether we will get at least some new info?
I mean this isn't a major event compared to TGS, not to mention TGS is in PDs hometown, judging by how PD likes to surprise us all in one go, i'd imagine it will be TGS where we will get a sunami of new info and hopefully hands on play. If you ask me PD shouldn't let too much out the bag too early or Turn10 will be stealing ideas, Not to mention TGS is not too far off anyways.

 

[Black Chamber]

EA's also had it since ProStreet. I doubt they'll ever let it go.

Wow.

Each time I was about to post - you beat me to it.

You REALLY know your stuff! 👍

 

[ZROC]

There was a post on FM.net about Che mentioning "the" Bugatti some where. Its never actually mentioned its the Veyron but is implied that it is. Saying how it takes 2 keys, one for normal driving and one for high speed, like the Veyron. So there is a chance that FM3 will have it.

 

[The_Paladin]

The Veyron is on the "leaked" car list, to this point the list has been really correct so im pretty sure its going to be on the game. BUT i could not care less about the Veyron, i want the EB110 and a Mclaren F1 short tail ,i hope those are in the game but they werent in the list. One of the cars that i really want and its on the list is the BMW M1, but its not clear if is the Pro car (i hope) or the street car.

 

[Jay]

Che's exact qoutes

The crazy thing about seeing the Bugatti in person was the realization that the car is actually pretty compact length-wise. No longer than your standard Audi sedan. I also like the fact that there are 2 sets of keys for the car -- one for daily driving, another one for performance mode. Folks I've talked to that have driven the car tell me that like other quattro cars, it's very easy to drive and probably relatively safe considering the amount of power/torque it's making.

What's a Veyron?

 

[Terronium-12]

Che's exact qoutes

I'm a bit confused. He's talking about the Veyron, but he doesn't know what a Veyron is/Didn't know it was a Veyron?

Or. is this just him being an ass, again?

Well yeah, he is playing games, others think he is talking about the EB110 but that doesn't have the two keys (for driving modes).

He also says "Whats a Nissan GTR" When ever the Nissan GTR is brought up.

 

[capt_aaa]

Well, I wouldn't switch or even try FM3 simply because it is a wannabe product from Micros**t. although, car models and instrument clusters look top notch.

I hope that KY and Sony will silence MS and PD opponents.

You know, if it's anyone Jackass Thompson should have gotten rid of, it should have been this bit...well, you know.

I'd be an ass and say something like "It's the name of your mother's health care plan."

Don't blame you, though... this thread seems to get three pages longer every day.

Apologies - was on holiday for a couple of weeks - and this thread just seemed to be a massive SatansReverence Flame Fest - with no real content - hence skipping to the end!!

He does that because there won't be new GTR in FM3.

 

[Dave A]

I didn't say Veyron. I was talking Bugatti, the automobile company.

So was he, Bugatti Spa and Bugatti S.A.S. are two different companies, Ettore Bugatti was the founder of Bugatti Spa, the Veyron is built by Bugatti S.A.S. They share a logo but since one of the companies is extinct there is no livensing conflict.

I didn't say there were licensed together. I said "maybe, just maybe". It was a hope, and the original Bugatti creator had that track named after him. If you don't like my hopes, no need to post.

It would be nice to get both sure, regarding your hopes, it's good to hope for certain things but it should always be based on something solid. Mind you, that's more a personal thing, but it's upto him if he responds to something you post on a public forum or not. As long as he isn't offensive towards you and it remains just a discussion then it should be welcomed.

That is exactly what I said.

Not exactley, you implied that since it was named after him that you could license one or the other and have access to both. I implied that wasn't the case. Which it isn't .

As I said, it would be nice to get them both and we may very well get that, but the track and company arn't tied together in anyway beyond the names 👍.

 

[Lion-Face]

Yup, mine supports it. It helped my appearance as well (noticeable on the XMB right away). Thanks for the warning as well. That is good to know.

All TVs will display Full RGB, both my TV's will display Full RGB, only one can 'support' it but, not properly, and if your running your PS3 on a TV, your best running RGB = Limited, not Full.

If you want to improve contrast of your TV, then running a Calibration disc and setting your TV up properly will help A LOT. Of course, this sets it up for Movies/TV broadcast. The majority of Games will be mostly correct (Killzone 2 looks brilliant after a proper calibration, GT5Prologue performs well too) but if a game is too dark or too bright, then your best using the in-game options to adjust the gamma/contrast/brightness to correct the picture. Socom series, for example, often turns out a bit dark after a calibration, but you can use the in-game options to adjust the brightness/contrast to fix it, rather than adjusting TV settings again.

But that's another discussion, and just to plug my own thread, if you want further information/tips/help on TV settings, I suggest you post there and keep this thread on Forza/GT series.

Covered that beautifully. 👍

Probably just him being an ass again, his message under his name on that forum basically just tells you all he is out to do is bash GT in anyway possible.

Im sure its got to be in his job description or something lol.

Anything is possible. I am hoping for a double whammy. A PS3 Slim price drop with GT5 announcment. EPIC

I am completely aware of both companies. I am also aware of the track name.

Not exactley

Actually, yes exactly. My exact words were "Bugatti circuit is named after Ettore Bugatti". I implied nothing else. Please don't put words in my mouth or spin my wording. At the beginning all I said was that "maybe, just maybe" Bugatti will be in FM3 with the Bugatti circuit. Not sure why, but everyone freaked out when I said that.

I would just let it go man. You don't need to take my hopes personal or get defensive.

All TVs will display Full RGB, both my TV's will display Full RGB, only one can 'support' it but, not properly, and if your running your PS3 on a TV, your best running RGB = Limited, not Full.

I have changed mine back to limited actually. I found shortly after that everything looked to dark.

Please stop trying to back track. You fully implied Forza 3 may get the Bugatti license just because they have the track. There is a key word in your post that tells us this.

Maybe, just maybe they will get Bugatti since they have the Bugatti circuit.

because; inasmuch as: Since you're already here, you might as well stay.

You used the word as a conjunction.
