The trailer and screenshots for FM3 has just been released and looks impressive.
The game gets released in October.

GT5 will want to be bloody fantastic when it finally arrives.

Microsoft have now released one and annouced another Forza since Sony annouced GT5.
Both of which look just as good as previews of GT5 have.

That's how it's done. Will likely provide a better physics engine and just as tunable (if not more so) with a realistic damage model with more community involvement than GT5... in a fraction of the development time.

Awesome. Hope they bring back some good downhill tracks and a drag racing track.

Does anyone know if there will be Australian Ford's or FPV's in Forza 3? I have had a look around and it only seems to be talked about but not actually set in concrete. I am very keen on buying this one! It looks like giving the GT series a big run for its money!

The official release date of Forza 3 is October 22nd.
Unfortunately no Bathurst track.

this will be good, even if it just a feature. as xbox live no longer supports the old V8 Supercars 3 game on the old xbox.

I think Forza 3 will be an exceptional game in all aspects, but GT5 is in another league of its own. There is a reason why it is one of the best Driving Simulator Game ever made. GT5 Release is predicted to be Christmas 2009 for US/UK/ though AUS is unconfirmed.

I should have said Racing Simulator Series, but going off reviews back in the GT5 Prologue days to the E3 Exibit thing it is highly rated. But Personal Preference always wins. :

For the ridiculous length of time it has taken for gt5 to appear it needs to whip forza 3 in every aspect. It won't do that, as a sim i would expect it to have better driving dynamics.

The F3 images released recently look sensational, love the V8 Supercars although the preview video of F3 looks a touch arcade. Hopefully it will play much more like a sim, reading some of the turn 10 media interviews they are referring to it as a sim.

It is a sim, it has better physics and dynamics than installements of GT (including Prologue) in fact - which is a bone of contention with the GT crowd, might I tell you! They don't like being shown up! I moved from GTR2 & rFactor & GT to FM myself, but not after blindly writing the series off at first though before giving it a second chance.

And check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVzhkASVCQ0
These guys are the most unbiased hardcore sim nuts around, as you'll know if you see some of their other videos too.

Forza looks the goods. I really hope GT5 will be as good if not better. In other words, I hope its worth the wait.

I put this game on pre order before even knowing about drag racing and V8 supercars. Forza 2 was awesome so I figured this will be too. Didn't think it would turn out this good. Hurry up October.
