mykem: I would argue that even the old PGR 4 is pushing 360 harder than Race Pro. It’s a typical Simbin game, and while not technically the most advanced game in it’s own genre, it offers a solid driving experience that balances realism and pick-up-and-play style quite nicely. Gran Turismo and Forza are better “car games”, but they rarely have as intense bumper-to-bumper racing as Race Pro.

Oh, and it does have rainy conditions, although all career mode races have dry weather.

I don’t think Forza 3 needs to be that much different from Forza 2. Many people loved the car building / trading aspect that is still the biggest selling point of the series. Now we just need more varied races so you can show off the true potential of your pimped muscle cars. Even the first game had more variation. If they are using the same engine, hopefully you can transfer your Forza 2 cars to Forza 3…

I remember playing a game on 360 which had real damage built in if you wanted it.
Also drifting if memory serves me right.
Cannot for the life of me remember the name.
It was more of a sim thing I think.

You can drift just fine in Forza 2… there just aren’t any races set up around it.

Seeing that Race Pro is pushing the 360 to almost its limit (720p @30fps, no weather effect and no night/day cycle but better physics than Forza 2), I wonder how much more different Forza 3 is going to be from Forza 2? Is it going to be just more cars and more tracks? Will there be actual damage modeling or real suspension? Will Forza 3 do drifting (you can’t with Forza 2). It’s not like there’s a drought of racing game on the 360- Race Pro, NFS:Shift etc. I think it would’ve been better has Turn 10 waited for the more powerful xbox 720 so that a major improvement can be done to the franchise instead of incremental improvement (eg. Forza 1 > Forza 2).

I agree, I like your rumours and company interaction a lot VG247.

You should be commended on that.

Would be nice if they could give a better sensation of speed for this one, as well as fully modelled interiors.

That, and get rid of the endurance races.

Going around the same track 60 times just isn’t fun.

If it’s anything like Forza 2, it’s Day One.

We’ll hear about it at E3 anyways.
