Forza Motorsport 3: The Race Is On

The race is literally ON! A new preview of Gran Turismo 5 for the PS3 was introduced just recently and now Forza Motorsport 3 for the Xbox 360 has injected the market with some serious car-porn-in-motion with new images and a video trailer.

From a reasonable distance, the preview images from Forza Motorsport 3 actually look like “real” cars and not a “video game”.  Developer, Turn 10, has set out to turn gamers into car lovers and car lovers into gamers. But maybe the developers have made something that is too “real” and gamers just won’t have it by resorting to arcade style games. Maybe it is the “realness” that will bring the car enthusiasts to the video game world. You will never know until one of the best racing games hits the market.

Forza Motorsport 3, with its 400 cars from 50 manufacturers, 100 tracks and High-Def (HD) at 60 frames per second, it is a major contender for PlayStation’s Polyphony Digital developed Gran Turismo 5. The battle is seriously on and we want to be there when game and car lovers pick their favorite.

Clean! That’s what Forza Motorsport 3 is all about. Check out the images and video below and I am sure you will agree. Oh, tell Polyphony Digital (Gran Turismo 5 developers) that they have met their match!

    Definately not gonna buy, i dont like turn 10, they have a bad attitude. Ill buy Gran Turismo 5.

    Forza devs are dishonest, they bad mouth GT5 and say its stagnant but forza 3 only has 8 cars on track and comes on 2 discs? i have an arcade xbox so i wont even be able to use the 2 discs since they stopped shipping xbox 360 hdd’s to south africa.

    Plus they copy pasted gran turismo 5 prologues presentation and aesthetic. If you gonna bad mouth you better deal with with the consequence

  • Ians is an idiot

    Hmm but GT5 is stagnant. Too bad you won’t play the better game. But thats cool, I’m surprised you even get electricity in your cave.

    I like how you say forza devs are dishonest when polyphony has been promising GT5 for 4 years. Yeah thats honest. Go back to your hole Gronk.

    wow lans what a comment Forza rolls Gt up in very way just admit it an GT3 will rule them all

  • lans

    Ok people lets be logical
    forza has shiny graphics zomg, and cool paint and replay modes wtf is that your argument?

    Forza has better exaggerated physics and their damge model is a joke, please people if forza 3 was such a better game why do the developers feel the urge to bash gt5 so much? theres being competitive and then theirs being desperate!

    gt5 has more cars wayyy more than 400 of forza’s
    gt5 has more cars on track 16 instead of forza’s 8

    gt 5 has more variety, has nascar and wrc rally plus a host of other goodies
    gt5 has dynamic weather effects which forza does not have
    Gt 5 still has better lighting gt5 prologue still beats forza 3!
    how is forza better?
    Jealousy is a nasty thing. Polyphony make quality products not fast wuick mcdonalds burgers which you you fat americans seem to like so much

    Woah calm down Ian’s, the first time I ever played GT was when a friend of mine brought it over to my house (we live in the States). I’ve always been a GT fiend since. I’m really enjoying this whole thing though, Polyphony Digital didn’t show Turn 10 anything of GT5 at E3, and have absolutely no idea how to counter anything that PD’s done with their game. All they can do is try to trash talk it, and hope that the public will be swayed. Amusing thing is, over on CNET.com, they ran a poll Forza 3 vs GT5. Turn 10 was actually buying votes from gamers, for free DLC for their game. And they STILL lost! LoL!

    You forgot to that GT5 will also support almost fully realistic tracks to their RL counterpart.

    - Tracks from RL, will not deviate from the real thing by more than 5cm at any point on the track.

    See, this is why GT is so badass, because where some developers take artistic liberties with facts. PD does not. Their unflinching motivation to deliver us the most realistic experience possible never fails to wow everyone. And still, to this day, it’s the only console racer that is native 1080p @ 60fps. (Forza 3 is 720 upscaled to 1080).
