Cheers. Damn this game is taking racing sims to a whole nuva level.
"The car selection UI is designed like a luxury car brochure whose white background and clean layout makes the cars look so good, even non-car lovers are likely to drool over them. (“Car porn” is what I think the demoer called it.) When looking at them, it's incredible to think that the extremely detailed, high-poly models (the models in Forza 3 have over ten times the polys of the ones in Forza 2) are the same ones you'll drive in the game."
"The game offers over 100 tracks, including some old favorites like Suzuka, Nürburgring and Nordschleife but the demo I saw featured a mountainous, sunlit track near Montserrat, Spain. Thanks to a new game engine, the detail of the environment is impressive and the draw distance is ridiculous. I imagine it'll be easy to run off the road when surrounded by a landscape as distractingly gorgeous as that. While the graphic improvements are fairly obvious, just as significant are the changes to the AI and physics systems. One of my big peeves about racing games is that the AI is well, inhuman. Nothing seems to shake it up. With the new AI system, Forza 3's “drive-atars” have been given a bit of that human touch, making them respond to pressure. That means if you're right up on their bumpers, they're just as likely to freak out and lose control as a human competitor might."
Man after all the gorgeous games we've had already, people are drooling over Forza 3. Oh man this is gonna be awesome.
