Forums - Microsoft - Forza 3: No weather, night racing, or rally

Forza 3: No weather, night racing, or rally

Forza 3 might not include the above features, but it will include a hell of a lot more. 

Turn 10 announced Forza 3 at Microsoft's E3 press conference with a short five second trailer, but then followed with incredibly impressive gameplay footage. 

It's the first in the series to feature a cockpit view, and will include over 400 cars, many of which have yet to be announced. 

There's been a few rumours that the game will also introduce a weather system, night racing and even off-road rally racing like Gran Turismo 5's inclusion of World Rally Championship. 

However, Turn 10 community manager Che Chou has come out to refute those claims (at least for now) on the official Forza MotorSport 3 forums: "No weather, night racing, or rally in the game." 

That said, the game will likely include most of your favourite cars, with Chou adding: 

"Any car is up for grabs. Just because we haven't announced/shown it doesn't mean it won't make it into the game. We're just trickling out info." 

The amount of effort put into all aspects of the game, from physics to graphics, can be seen in the following developer diary when Turn 10 went to visit the Le Mans race track in France. 

Forza MotorSport 3 will release this October exclusively for the Xbox 360 and you can watch further gameplay footage after the following link.

Soooooo, a racing sim without weather?



How does this compare to other racing titles? Night racing and weather I mean.



Night racing is rather pointless and many races are canceled because of rain so I could care less.



How false this is? Freekin Top Gear on Snes had weather changes...

This really doesn't sound definitive.

Looks like GT5 has yet another "one-up" on Forza 3.

Lol.

PGR 4 had both. (even the Formula 1 game had it)

So are they running LeMans races in the Yukon during summer so they don't have to have racing in the dark?

I don't care if there isn't snow, but no rain? That's a pretty standard occurance in racing.

Night racing won't matter. However, the exclusion of weather changes could hurt the game.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Night racing is fun and weather in racing sims are important so I think this is quite a big downside.
