There will not be shift animations in Forza 3.
But trust me guys, the lack of shift animations is most noticeable when watching videos of the game. Once you get playing, you'll hardly notice it. Its a minor disappointment, but its really not a big deal(despite what some people will say). I know, because I play rFactor regularly, and many mods dont have shift animations, and most dont even have hands at all, yet cockpit view is still the view to be in if you want the most immersive experience.
Chances are, though, that most people will prefer another view. Cockpit view takes some getting used to, and the lack of visibility compared to the other views is something that a lot of people struggle with, as its harder to hit your marks on the track. Its gonna be a love/hate thing, but for those willing to give it a chance, once you get used to it, there's no going back, shift animations or not.
