    The range is from 150 to 200 cars, enough for you to drive around.
    Back into the world of gaming.

    That sounds kind of like enough. Man, I don't want to start the Beginning with a bunch of Crap-Tacular 3 & 4 Cylinder cars, man.
    200 cars. wow.

    What makes you feel that your thoughts are so much more important than others that are here?
    MY frustrations stem from having to deal with whiny jackasses such as yourself.

    I am not hyped b/c it got bumped to 2005, so I won't be able to play during Christmas when I have time, and no sim is a sim without a hood or in-car view IMO & finally no force-feedback is currently possible on XBOX.

    Wow, I have my first XBA enemy. Alright, let's deal with this, cause it's internet tough guys like you that really make me wanna freak right out. At no point did I personally insult you or throw remarks in your direction, I was defending my stance, but if you want to question my mettle boy, you pissed off the wrong guy. Let's review child.

    Firstly, the ability to focus on a subject, make valid comments about it, and evolve a debate is the basis of human communication, interaction and intellectual development. Therefore, I feel flagrant and shocking lack of this to be worth mentioning, without it being considered as "whining".

    Secondly, if you have a topic you would like to discuss, you have the ability to create your own thread and discuss it there, so there is no excuse for hijacking someone else's thread.

    Thirdly, my thoughts are not more important and there is nothing I have said or done to imply that. You're just another reactionary fool who makes crap up, exaggerates things and basically talks **** to get his otherwise very weak point across. You should be a republican.

    Anyhoo, go away. You're irritating me.

    I guess my lack of excitement comes from the thought that I can't see how they'll improve on a game concept (gran turismo) that has been almost dominated by (see parenthesis) What can they do better? I mean I have read the hype, and the talk, but this one is going to be a wait and see for me.

    Well they can...

    1. Improve the graphics, this IS Xbox after all.

    2. Tweak physics.

    3. Add realistic damage modelling. There are events in Turismo (like the endurance races that take 30 minutes or more) that can be won by taping down a button and leaving.

    4. Add online play and create an online community of racers, teams and "mechanics" (if it gets detailed enough, we'll actually need people who know what they are doing).

    5. Add an online system of commerce whereby players can buy, sell and trade cars amongst eachother.

    That's just 5 improvement that could be made over GT. Oh yeah, all 5 are being for Forza.

    Do you think they can improve the graphics enough to look that much better than gran turismo? The trailers I saw didn't really do it for me.

    I always get fired up about Microsoft's 1st party software. Unless it's Kokuto Chojin, err.. & stuff like Blinx. But hey, their Racing game: PGR 2 is amazing me!

    Yes. It's a Pentium vs. 4 PS1 processors.

    Asking if Xbox can make better graphics than PS2 is like asking if Mike Tyson can REALLY knock out Pee Wee Herman.

    He's not saying Xbox can't do it itself... he's saying did the game do it? Forza's graphics I think arn't even close to GT4's, and honestly, graphics are more important to me in a racing game, than say an RPG.

    Is there video of GT4 yet? If not I don't think with what has been show would be good to compare with.

    versus...


    And yes, there is a 10 minutes demonstration of GT 4 from E3 last year. I'll take Gran Turismo if I had to pick, though I'm getting neither, because I dislike GT style racing. Burnout 3 = teh better.

    Oh really, well then what was this= 'READ THE DAMN THREADS DUMBASS. THAT COMMENT WAS ABOUT BO3 NOT FORZA' Seems to me as though you want to be the internet tough guy.

    I was defending my stance, but if you want to question my mettle boy, you pissed off the wrong guy. Let's review child.
    You really are full of yourself.


    Secondly, if you have a topic you would like to discuss, you have the ability to create your own thread and discuss it there, so there is no excuse for hijacking someone else's thread.
    I wasn't aware that referencing other games in the SAME genre in your thread was HIJACKING it.

    Thirdly, my thoughts are not more important and there is nothing I have said or done to imply that. You're just full of 'inconsistencies.' What did this mean?= it amazes me how ignorant people who populate a video game site, can be so ignorant about video games. The level of stupidity I have witnessed rivals George W. Bush

    You're just another reactionary fool who makes crap up, exaggerates things and basically talks **** to get his otherwise very weak point across. You should be a republican. I'M THE REACTIONARY??? You have a really distorted view of yourself AND reality. Your emotional response is indicative of your political leanings. You should be a ..................... COMMUNIST.
    How's that, wannabe internet tough guy? Am I questioning your..."mettle?"

    I'm not a huge racing fan or gearhead, but I did pick up Burnout 3 and I must say it is a blast to play although VERY arcade. For the most part, you can bang on the walls and other cars as much as you like with NO damage to your vehicle as long as it's not a head on collision. (Ha, I did it again). BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/
    BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/BURNOUT 3/ = THIS IS FUUUUUUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    And if FORZA is as good as it's previews are indicating(Nice pics LTM) I'll be picking it up also.

    I can't wait for this game to come out, looks like a winner to me, and graphics are just unbelieveable.

    this is such a big topic on all the forums lol.. well i havent got a ps2 or an xbox yet, but this very topic is going to be the deciding factor. the only thing stopping me from buying an xbox is the GT series..

    but i think i will go out and buy an xbox cos i think forza will b awesome!! wat i liked best abt GT was the realistic driving and the detail in tuning.. i thnik forza will have a good physics engine (how bad can it be??) and from wat ive read the tuning is way more detailed than GT3,... u can even adjust tyre pressure and boost pressure!!

    graphics will b better in forza.. only thing GT wins in is the number of cars.. altho i think forza shud haf enuf cars to keep most players entertained..

    but, everyone still has to wait n see.. i havent played the demo of forza so im not sure wat tat was like, but even still tat is only a demo.. if forza has a physics engine up to par wit GT it will b great. i don care which has better graphics really, n even if forza somehow turns out badly i can still play an emulated GT2

    One, the game will not be out til Feb 05 and two, the demo didn't just blow people away like I bet they were hoping. And lastly three, there has just been a glut of gaming goodness lately that people have to focus on something. So, why not focus on those that are on the street rather than those that aren't?
