Were you hoping to play Forza Motorsport 4 in 3D? Well, you’ll have to keep hoping, I’m afraid, as it’s not going to be happening. And, in fact, it’s unlikely to appear in the series at all until it becomes a “more broadly adopted technology” in the years to come. Then, developers Turn 10 might be interested, but for now it’s not at the top of their priority list. What is at the top of their priority list is getting motoring enthusiasts into games, and videogame enthusiasts into cars. And that, apparently, is not something that would be assisted by 3D technology. “As far as the vision we have for the title in getting people excited about cars,” it isn’t important, said mrmrmr. “I’m not trashing 3D,” he added. “I think 3D’s great. It’s just, when you’re going towards a certain goal, going towards certain customers, you have to think about what sort of hardware they have, and what sort of experience and vision you want to deliver to them.” In an interview with Videogamer, mrmrmr explained that in fact Auto Vista – a game mode that allows you to view the game’s cars from a variety of angles and suchlike, opening the bonnet, checking out the engine, all supposed by Kinect’s head-tracking – delivers a ’3D effect’ that’s actually worth getting excited about in itself. http://beefjack.com/news/forza-4-3d-not-suited-for-series-at-the-moment-say-turn-10/Forza 4 developers Turn 10 are not interested in incorporating 3D into the series at this time, saying that while they’re “not knocking” 3D, it doesn’t serve their aim of getting gamers interested in cars and vice versa.
