The demo was alright. Didn't seem as realistic as forza 2. The flipping is cool. The cockpit views sort of look like ass But overall they did improve visuals. Not to the extent i was expecting though. I noticed that the guy does not shift gears nor can you look around the inside of the car while driving

I could have sworn I saw a video where the guy was looking left and right in the cockpit.

Yes, you can look around. Push up on the right analog and hold it up while moving it left and right.

Ah, thanks.  I will have to try that.  I was able to move left and right with the right stick, but it showed the view straight to the left and right.

Yes, there is that too. Same way it was in Forza 2.  I just wish the view was a few steps back so you could see a bit more of the mirrors.

I was able to replicate your issue with the "Slow Spin" camera--pretty lame. The game looks great overall though, but the demo is pretty boring. I think the damage is really week as well and they should have bumped it up a notch. I spent 15 minutes playing demolition jersey driving backwards and hitting cars head-on and it took a long time to actually make a noticable difference (my car couldn't even make it up a small hill afterwards because the gear box and engine were so messed up heh). I did manage to flip a Viper and it just stayed on its lid with it's engine revving away lol. You can run into a rail at full speed and you *might* break out a headlight, but more than likely you'll rub off some paint. Kinda dissapointing. In comparison, playing the Dirt 2 demo they have some full on damage that's probably a little over the top, but it's actually more realistic than Forza.

what darth said

just like Valkyria and Killzone 2 were the demos kinda sucked

am 100% they will fix that in the final release.

those demos warranted my purchases of said games :O

 

but nontheless a demo should be in a state of quality as to where the player of the demo would think "hey this game seems kick ass. I am going to buy this bitch"

pause the video at exactly 1:05, then watch closely and press play, you will see the camera clip the track for a split second, this is where the problem happens for me except the track doesn't come back, it stays vanished until the camera changes again.



Lol thats almost retro maybe its a take off of tge very 1st ridge racer lol thst used to happern loads!

No problem when I played it...the bug might be so small that they missed it...this wshould be patched soon enough...Again...No problem when I played the Demo..so of you are just unlucky



 



I had a problem with the demo as well. But im still impressed with the game. What i experienced is that if someone comes online and you get the sound and sign on the bottom of the screen while you're racing, the game instantly becomes REAL choppy, until that sign leaves.. That's a major drawback that really needs to be fixed. It made me crash a lot of times. But im still impressed with the game



Truth does not fear investigation

You have something wrong with your setup be it a poor internet connection (causing lag issues i.e when friends online comes up etc whilst playing)or your 360 setup in general,
We have 4 360s between us and this game has been running more or less non stop, 1 360 is running whilst connected to Live and 3 are not(as a test) and no such problem exist.

Even your Topic title is misleading, why didn't you put something like "I have found a glitch on my demo anyone else have any or is it something wrong my end?"


Why not type this on the GT5 thread

Different post but same glitch/Bug

Just look on youttube there are loads of glitches/bugs in the Prologue game but I have no doubt they won't be in the full game of GT5 or Forza 3.

Still at least you didn't have to pay for the demo you did on Prolougue and still got glitches/bugs..



Succumbing to the hype has always been a trait of 360/PS3 owners

LOL, this is a BUG, one of the Forza Developers has already commented about it on the Forza 3 forum, so yes, it is a bug and yes, it is affecting a LOT of people, it is not my setup or either of my 360's,

And why you bringing GT into this? this is about the Forza 3 demo, nothing to do with GT....
