Well, here's my take:

- No, having played the demo, it doesn't look as good as the early screenshots
- It does looks significantly better than Forza 2
- I still don't think it beats GT5:P or PGR4 visually, they have better reflections on the cars and it looks they have a higher polygon count on the cars.
- It looks better than Need For Speed Shift.
- The environments are gorgeous, very detailed and open!
- The gameplay was MUCH better than it's predecessor

Verdict: 8.5/10 and probably a future purchase, I enjoyed the driving in this!

I totally agree CGI^

You know how much I wanted this game, I was always sticking up for it against GT5 and up until today really thought it was going to be better looking than GT5 but after playing the demo I can honestly say the graphics didn't impress me, yes the track detail is superb.

 

Let me make a few examples going off the demo I have been playing today along with PGR 4 and DiRT 2 all of which I have been playing for the last few weeks (specially DiRT 2, completed it today):

  • PGR4 looks better than Forza 3 overall and has a more "Real" feel to it.
  • DiRT 2 graphics are better than Forza 3, DiRT 2's draw distances, shadows and reflections are out of this world as are it's track and car detail, I haven't seen anything in the Forza 3 demo that looks better than DiRT 2.
  • Forza 3 runs better than DiRT 2, DiRT 2 runs at 30FPS so is not silky smooth like forza's 60FPS
  • DiRT 2's replays are MUCH better than Forza's
  • DiRT 2's damage is light years ahead of Forza's
  • GT5 does indeed look much better than Forza 3.

 

I honestly HATE saying it but i'm not impressed with the Forza 3 demo at all, I REALLY hope the final game is a later build or something?


i would have to disagree with pgr4 > forza 3 grafically.

pgr4 is 30fps, the entire game is far less in scope which has to be taken in consideration when talking grafix, pgr4 may look more bright and vibrant its an arcade racer after all, but forza tries to look more realistic and must get the nod as being better.

does forza 3 cockpit view include rear detail when you look back? ie seats and rear windows? i wanna have a go on demo but il have to wait a few more days.
