Forza 3 better live up the hype...
written by DJnal05, August 28, 2009
Why do you guys think Microsoft didnt show off Forza 3 in Gamescom??? I'll answer it... EU region dont give hoot bout forza... nor does Asia...

Forza series is always hyped... I personally believe PGR3 and PGR4 had better physics then Forza 2... this time they better get the physics right or I am done this IP...

Regarding GT5 I'll wait for polyphony digital's actual announcement (TGS 09)

But still I'll say the physics in GT4 is way better then any console game out there... n I am pretty sure polyphony digital can do this again with damage...

Check this video.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B8_2rUXfSk

I bet you that 1/2 of people dont care THAT much for the physics that you are showing in that youtube video and probably wouldn't feel the difference.
Dont get me wrong i love GT , i owned each part(except Gt Prolouge) also PGR3, TD, NfS, Grid blah blah blah.
Like Matt wrote - gameplay over graphics and to me when a racer has an in car view, destructible cars and GT'ish or Forza'ish "driving style" that makes awesome gameplay.
Besides its a game and its never going to feel real.
Different aspects of a game work differently for each person . Know what i mean?

I liked the part when you guys compared the price of the psp and ps3 slim... I trying to find out if I want the psp slim, but I say forget it because I have a CFW homebrew enabled psp. So I'm good.
