I wonder how the two discs will work, and as Squilliam said, hopefully they can both be installed to eliminate the need to swap discs.
But half the cars and half the tracks on each disc?

 

Probably game engine + all the cars on one disc as well as half the tracks. With the other half of the tracks on the other disc?

Or one for online and one for local?

Anyway if both can be used this will be absolutely massive for people who want to do system link if both can be used for that, well thats one positive out of the negative.

Nothing's so bad, that something good wont come from it

I don't think so...

It takes a lot longer to model a car for the PS3 than it does for the PS2. Polyphony only had time for 180 when they made the generational leap last gen with GT3. Maybe GT6 will have 900 cars...

So I take it Forza 3's cars aren't likely to be as detailed? Is this a significant difference in model complexity or is it relatively minor?

Judging by the standard set on GT5P and FM2 I guess Gran Turismo cars will be more detailed.  That's just on the exterior models.  I do hope they include cockipit view in Forza3 too, and G25 compatibility.  If they do I will consider buying a 360 for it.

Well, GT5P's car models have over 200 000 polygons each according to wiki (GT4 models had 4000...). Can't find anything on Forza 2, but I'm guessing less than a third of that.

Oops I meant to put 600.  Sorry for the typo.

I have said it before

a good racing game with offline multiplayer (the only one that matter) will do extremely well in Europe

when u consider Forzza is said to be a very good game AND that forzza will be released on a 139 euros console (new Xbox360 arcade offer in France for the month of may), u understand that this will sell like crazy and could sell dramatic amount of system indeed ...

On the other side, Sony has the PS3 brand and the GT brand ... I dont know if it will be sufficient ...

;(



Time to Work !
