Forza 3 Update 12th September #5

OXCGN Forza 3 September Update #5 – Forza goes Dyno Tuning

While many games on consoles claim to be simulations, most aren’t. Forza 3 would have to be the closest thing to a real racing simulation than any other game being released currently. I say that even knowing many Sony fans of the excellent Gran Turismo will be jumping up and down swearing profanities left, right and center.

The reason I say ‘simulation’ for Forza 3 is because it does simulate as many aspects of the cars in the game as humanly possible.

Not content to use ‘canned’ crash noises like many would, Turn 10 actually purchased vehicles and crashed them in order to obtain the ‘correct’ sound that would be heard when you do crash in Forza 3. Not only from outside, but from inside the vehicle, above it, etc, so that when you’re in a 3rd person viewpoint, you’d hear a different noise from when you are on say the bonnet (hood) cam view.

Or say in the cockpit view point, the engine sounds of a mid-engine vehicle would also be heard alongside the crash noises. I know that in Forza 2, when switching from forward view to rear-view )(looking back) you could hear a distinct difference in the sound. The same will apply in Forza 3, but  more realistic.

As you’ll see in the extensive Dyno Testing video just released, there’s many things within Forza 3 that most gamers are totally oblivious to. Do spend the time required and listed through the entire long video. Don’t take short cuts to see different sections. Go grab a coffee, and sit down with some friends and really listen to what goes on behind closed doors. Then ask yourself, is this game worth the $UA110 they are asking for it, especially when you consider the HUGE amount that the game is costing to produce?

I say, yes, it certainly is, and I’d expect to pay more really, considering the expense laid out to achieve what they have done so far.

Forza 3 is not just a rebuilt Forza 2 with nicer graphics, every aspect of Forza 3 is NEW. The graphics engine, physics engines, sound, dynamics and much more have all been specifically built from the ground up just for Forza 3. Even the User Created Content editors are all new with over 4000 layers in Forza 3.

That’s right, you thought some of the designs created in Forza 2 were great. That was with a mere 1000 layers, we now have 4000 layers to create whatever designs we see fit, and share them with the world.

We’ll get recognition for that as well, as while some gamers are average drivers, many can create exceptionally beautiful artwork on their rides. Some can tweak and tune a car better than they can race them. We’ll be able to collaborate together and create Teams, like OXCGN Racing Team will be doing.

We’ll be looking for some of the best Forza 3 drivers out there to compete in the various global tournaments., all driving a common livery bearing each drivers name and the site’s livery across all classes. So if you think you want to be part of the OXCGN Forza Race Team, then slip us an email, so that we can look at your times when Forza 3 ships from October 23rd.

Painters will be asked to submit their creations for a OXCGN-Fantec Racing Livery which will be used across all vehicles. So more news on that soon.
