Forza 3 game night - part 2

[foghorn67]

Buying it tonight. I'll be a total newb, but I would love to join you guys.

 

[Kabob]

Man, I say we may need to end things and we get three new racers in a few hours...I need to do this more often!

Noobs are always welcome! I was absolutely awful when I started racing with this crew, now I'm only pseudo-awful.

looks like you anti-jinxed it

 

[Kabob]

Hrm, sounds like a the AWD Renault Turbo 5 will be the ticket...maybe.

and east of the atlantic :awe:

hmm...i'm going to remove the RWD restriction so there are more choices. C class Euro, pre 2000. any drive type.

Ok no restrictions on engine placement? I'm looking to tune the 1991 ferrari (mid engine).

As long as it fits those defined restrictions it should be fine.

 

[fbrdphreak]

Cool, this will be fun as I've not really raced many of those cars, save for BMW's.

Looks like Forza has big plans for Kinect.

Kinect doesn't look nearly sensitive enough for a racing game like this...

 

[fbrdphreak]

No argument here. Wow, we can walk around the car and play with stuff. Woohoo.

Maybe Forza is going to make an arcade racer? It would probably work for a Need for Speed style game

 

[vshah]

i don't know if I like the sound of "entirely new forza experience in 2011" although I guess next fall would be 2 years from forza 3's release.



btw anyone else excited for news of GT5 tomorrow?

 

[Kabob]

GT5 news: Delayed until 2011...D:

ORLY? :hmm:

 

[Kabob]

No, I just made it up for giggles...

 

[fbrdphreak]

I was wondering. But really, it is entirely believable.

 

[Kabob]

Well of course it is, and honestly how many of us would be surprised...

 

[vshah]

still...if/when it comes out i may well have to get a ps3 :-/

 

[Kabob]

Yeah, alot of people are saying that. I'd love to play it but there's no way the wife would let me get another console.

 

[fbrdphreak]

If it was good enough, I could be swayed to change consoles. But I think with the slim 360, music via Zune, better Netflix, etc I'll just be buying a slim Arcade for the bedroom down the road.

Shame 360 doesn't have Blu-ray playback though. I still haven't crossed that road.

 

[Kabob]

If I could find a used PS3 for $200 or so I might pick it and GT5 up, otherwise I'll be fine missing out on GT5. I've no interest in switching consoles.

 

[vshah]

solution: ps3 slim + that xbox360 "cover" they used to hide the new 360

For anyone who didn't see the Forza Kinect demo. The racing was actually kind of cool IMO.

 

[speedy2]

That was so retarded. Nothing he did with that can't be done a lot easier with an analog stick. Especially the whole "looking around/in the car" part. Lets see......Move a stick or move around my living room and flail my hand around in the air? They both do the same thing.

Actually, I would love to use the look tracking in combination with a controller. My right hand is usually busy entering the corners (downshifting and such), and the ability to look around and through the curves would be awesome (which is what you do when you are really racing of course).

It'd work out nice for FPS games as well.
