All Things Forza 3


Turn 10 has just released a number of new screenshots showing off one of their newest components. Austrailian Touring Cars (V8 Supercars). Very impressive. Take a look...




And for more photos head over to Kotaku.

and in related news. Turn 10 has also released a new video premiering the coveted Bugatti Veyron. Very nice indeed. Forza 3 is really starting to look like the must have racing title this Holiday Season.


And to top it all off, here is a little info on the two disk situation. For those of you who are not aware, Forza 3 will ship with 2 DVD's covering over 400 fully destructible cars and 60+ tracks. So how's this gonna work? In an interview with Joystiq, Dan Greenawalt (Game Developer) sheds some light on the situtation:

We do have 400 cars and they all feature damage, rollover, and cockpits. It's not just a small subset, but everyone of them feature that. All of them can be painted, put on the auction house, and used in [user-generated content]. But to answer your question, the way it is done is that we've got a primary disc, which has 300 cars on it, which is a ton of cars -- more than Forza Motorsport 2.

The second disc contains three environments, and another 100-plus cars. What you do is actually install all the content from disc two as if it was DLC and then it automatically integrates into your game. So you can play off disc one without installing it, without ripping to the hard drive, and all the disc two content you have installed (similar to DLC) gets put into the career as AI opponents and shows in your career mode, as different races and the tracks change out. You can make the game more deep, if you like, by adding that content. But the truth is we got so many tacks and so many cars on disc one that even disc one itself is the largest game that's going to be available this holiday.
