Does anyone else think the first person cockpit view looks way too up close? It dosen't look or feel like I am driving a car with that view.

aero250

Che the community manager has confirmed that they have moved it back for all 400 + cars.

here is the new position

Still too close up. I want to see more tracks and damage.

I reall like the commentator in the main menu, sounds kinda like the stuff you hear in Bioshock, old retro radio voices. I like that. So much for people dismissing the environments, the first video alone smashes haters. And anyone whining about damage, play Forza 2 with simulation and crash like he did in the video. The car is DONE, and it will be undrivable in Forza 3 as well.

It doesn't look like that when I drive, I am pretty sure I can see more than just the top of my hands and more than half the steering wheel.

So what is the point of damage if you can just undo it anyways? All it does is make a more realistic crash...PS2_ROCKS

The point of damage is so that there are consequences for being a bad race car driver. However, Turn 10 is trying to make their game accessible by throwing in some arcadey elements like time rewind for the casual (read: GT/PGR/Burnout) crowd. I would imagine that when you set the difficulty settings to "simulation" the rewind feature won't even be optional.

I'm not going to lie. I like the driver assists. lol One of the main complaints I have about SIM racers is that they're hard for someone like me to casually jump in and play. I'm more interested in playing this with a wheel now too.

I never noticed anything like that. I'm still interested in seeing how it works out. The cockpit views are really nice, but not the most functional due to viewing area. Also it's sort of weird if you have an actual wheel infront of you, then another wheel on the screen

Turn 10 have tried to get the right view that a driver would see when he is looking straight ahead and in my opinion they have got it right.

Aye. I just priced some wheels online. Currently trying to figure out the difference between the v.1 and v.2 wireless wheels Microsoft offers (v.1 of course being cheaper).

Indeed. When you drive, you look out the windshield onto the road in front of you. You're not supposed to watch the dashboard.

The damage is by far better than GT's and I'm pretty sure this is a fact especially sinc enot all of GT's cars have damage, but the cosmetics of GT5's damage is by far superior to Forza 3's... You must be blind not too see it, but which one do I prefer? Forza's because I'd rather decent damage models on every car than 200 excellent damage models on 1/5 the cars... I seriously have no idea what GT was doing. they should've released a game with 1000 cars and no damage and a year later put damage on every car and released it as a patch or just wait 1 more year and release a complete game... WTF is PD thinking? Either way both are a must buy for me.

I'm not that great at sim racer gameplay, but I never play with assist and I manage to do just fine on GT5p and Forza 2. I honestly don't see much of a difference between the 2 in terms of gameplay. They are both very similar, but different enough tot ell a difference, but not big enough that a person good in Forza will suck in GT5. If you own in one you will own in the other. It's really that simple.

;)

Did you watch the video? The damage was CLEARLY set on cosmetic.............meaning the car will only sustain scratches and scrapes. Forza 3 does have full simulation damage like in GT5 where bumpers fly off, windows break, and it can actually effect your driving. This was also in Forza 2. Why dont you try WATCHING the video so you dont embarass yourself further :|

Cars don't bounce off the walls in Forza 3. And Forza 2 had fenders that fell off.

I wonder what we would all be thinking if Poly was as open about GT5 as Turn10 is about Forza 3... Would there be a clear front runner for console racing games?!

Did you watch the video? The damage was CLEARLY set on cosmetic.............meaning the car will only sustain scratches and scrapes. Forza 3 does have full simulation damage like in GT5 where bumpers fly off, windows break, and it can actually effect your driving. This was also in Forza 2. Why dont you try WATCHING the video so you dont embarass yourself further navyguy21
To be fair, cosmetic damage means only that, the damage will be limited to cosmetics. Changing the settings won't make more things fly off, they'll just make the damage affect performance. From what I've seen, GT5's cosmetic damage is much more notable than Forza 3's.
