If you want it to sound like a long way away, it comes out two weeks from this past Tuesday.. if you want it to sound close, it comes out a week from this coming Tuesday. Regardless of however you want to word it, who's going to pick it up? Are we going to have a cheap ass clan/group/club? I watched a GS video preview and they mentioned something about a car club.. let's try to not show off how cheap we are in the car club, though.. no station wagons or anything..

Anyways, who's getting it and who wants to start something?
 
I'll probably pick it up. I held off on buying GT4 since I wanted to see the reviews on it, since I don't want to have two racing games.
 
[quote name='CheapyD']Anyone know how the car customization compares with Midnight Club 3?[/QUOTE]

I'm interested in this as well. Too bad you can't add all sorts of fancy stuff to the car.. ("Pimp it out").. Was going to pick up MC3, but i'll just wait for a price drop.. did give it a rent though, the level of customization kicked the hell outta NFSU2.

And why do all races have to take place during the day?! The night would look pretty :(
 
Gonna wait for IGN and GS have the final say on it, soo many racing games for my XBox already, and if XBox2 comes out this fall I know i won't touch Froza with PGR3 in my hands.

But if Outpost or another site offers it for $35+ free S&H, im sold.

I just hope PGR3 feels more like the original and not the asstastic second game. :evil:

I'll get Forza, eventually.
 
Is there an official car list out yet? If a TSX and Carrera are in it I'm sold. Doubtful on the latter since it's a Porsche though.

Thanks Cheapy. Too bad, no TSX. There is an '03 Carrera GT though so I think that's close enough. The online seems to be the big thing for this game so I'll likely pick it up. Fry's might have a deal on release.

wouldnt you want the mustang stevie?
 
I'm excited, but still wary after the demo. I'll rent first but it could very well turn out to be awesome.

[quote name='sblymnlcrymnl']I just hope PGR3 feels more like the original and not the asstastic second game. :evil:[/QUOTE]

Zuh? PGR2 was light-years ahead of the first game.
 
I have no money for a Mustang. How 'bout we pick up Forza and recreate it there? I think I can put together $50. I don't think I can justify an $18000 expense.

i meant in game, i cant afford nor justify that expense, especially when i am an unemployed high school student, but yeah we should recreate that :)
 
I'm shocked that supadupacheap hasn't responded. He had me do the $30 pre-order deal for this game at GR, and he's been practically orgasming over the game for weeks.

I'm not into realistic racing games as much as arcade style ones, but even I may have to rent this after all the good shit I've been hearing about it.

Ahhh, my beloved Forza finally gets some love on CAG. Now, my 2 cents...

First off, the demo is garbage compared to the real thing. Some reviewers have compared the final build to the demo like GT3 and GT2

Second, there is a video on IGN insider you have to see to believe. I cant even describe it other than to say its breathtaking. They have that chystler prototype thing running at night. The way the shadows roll off the car and the speed and accuracy at which they shift is unreal. U N R E A L.

Third, Im not really even THAT into car games and Im buying this the day it comes out. Its that awe inspiring. The last game I paid full retail of $50 for was Madden......... 2003.

Fourth, Im dying to try out the car club aspect. Im in if it gets set up for sure. FYI, Im going Asia so Ill have access to cheap imports. Would love to hook up somebody going the Europe route as there are a few cars there Id like access too. Online will destroy any other game to date.

Fifth, there is NO GAME ANYWHERE that is more accurate and true to life to the tracks than Forza. Real professionals were racing the tracks they race in real life and coming within 3 - 5 seconds of their usual times in R.L. Whoa.
I can also attest to the accuracy because I have a sick obssesion/ fetish with Laguna Seca. It darn near perfect in Forza. The closest game before now was Superbike 2000 (anybody remember that one?) Forza blows it away.

Sixth, Damage damage damage! Fina-freaking-ly. And not all or nothing garbage. Theres scrapes, crumpling, paint rubbing, all that good stuff.

Seventh, pro scan. People will talk about how "great" GT4 is at 1080. Oh yes, its wonderful, just dont look at ANYTHING but the car!!! Ugh. Jaggies here, jaggies there, jaggies everywhere. Bleck.

Eighth, sounds. GT was always too fake for my tastes. Everything was overdone. Whines, scraping, gears, all of it. Forza is more true to life IMO. Less metalic and more gutteral. If youve ever heard a real sports car, it has almost a growl to it. Frightening and exciting at the same time.

Nine, customization. GT got old because it was basically different colors of the same car in many cases. I spent hours buying up skylines that all looked the darn same. Id rather "SDCheap-ify" one and learn all its driving nuances. Oh yeah.

Lastly, because "You are what you race" and I want to race (therefor be) the best. ;)
 
I may be a bit of a dork here but, why on earth did they leave out the Ferrari 308? I know it wasnt the greatest of Ferraris but its certainly one of the most recognizable. I, and somebody else I know will be quite p.o.ed...

I think it looks to be a lot better than NFSU2... I'm not for sure if it'll be better than MC3 since I haven't gotten a chance to play it yet.

MC3, is not my cup of tea, mostly because i do art work with my cars, especially my Lotus Blossom, but its all preset decals, and 20"s

so are you gonna quit the clan?
 
the demo for this game was pretty weak. I know, i know, there's so much more to it then what's on the demo...but just about every aspect of it was horrible. this game and Jade Empire shouldn't have even had demos put out.
 
[quote name='swetooth9']so are you gonna quit the clan?[/QUOTE]
no no not at all, i love the racing, but im just disapointed about my customization options. I love MC:3, and i would never quit the can
 
wow....that car list is awesome. it has all the cars you need. it has everything that i need to be hooked on this game for months. thanks cheapy for the list
 
[quote name='KaneRobot'][quote name='ElwoodCuse']Zuh? PGR2 was light-years ahead of the first game.[/QUOTE]This man speaks truth. Online by itself put it ahead of the first, but there was more than that.[/QUOTE]

I don't give a shit about online play. True the graphics and car selection were improved, but they ruined the most important part of the game: control. PGR has the best feel out of any racing game I've ever played, while PGR2's was horrible.
 
[quote name='Scorch']Was going to pick up MC3, but i'll just wait for a price drop.. :([/QUOTE]


34.99 plus about 6 bucks shipping at Outpost.... not sure if that is low enough for you or not, Scorch.

Anyhow... I'm in for a Forza club... even though I'll suck. :(
 
 
[quote name='RawisJericho']I'm hoping Gamespot, IGN, and Gamespy post their reviews tonight.[/QUOTE]
Gamespots review is my final deciding factor, since they are my most trusted reviewers, ill post that up the instant it becomes available, though im surprised they dont have a countdown timer for the review like they did for half-life 2
