November 07
08-10am Wrote Accounting Exam
10:30 Car Battery was flat so had to jump start yaris
10:30 to 1045: Rush to Btgames in Brooklyn
11:00 Play and enter forza 3 competition

Got a time of 1:58.133 needed a time of 1.57.266 to qualify and possibly win 3000 in gaming credit. Life sucks, if i had more time to practice and sleep i would have won. life sucks and so does forza 3

well done, those are all arcade racers. While Forza 3 seems more realistic, it’s still not a simulator.

I could write a 10 page essay on why Forza 3 is not a simulator, but unfortunately you need to drive a simulator to know what one is.

While it may not be the most true simulation racer eve, what would GT fans, who say Forza 3 is not a simulation game, consider a racing simulation game to be?

Point form would be great

I’ll tell you what a friggin arcade racer is:
PGR4
Need For Speed Shift
Need For Speed Nitro
Blur
Test Drive Unlimited
Race Driver Grid

Those are Arcade racers not Foraz 3

That is going a bit to far saying that Forza 3 is not a simulator, And if damage modeling is so easy why does Foraz 3′s damage look so much better than GT5 in all those vids I mean the car hits the wall but bounces of without a scratch.

And GT5 could really use a Car sound overhaul. I would probably still buy the just because of my love of cars, i also have Forz3. It’s like Lamborghini saying that farrari cars are good but not that good at taking a corner, they are both brillant cars….SO STOP COMPLAINING.

Here below (in brackets, with some facial expressions *happy face*) are my interpretations of what Kaz’s ‘real’ answers to these questions were, since it’s quite ambiguous, and it’s apparent that he’s trying his best to casually downplay everything Turn 10′s achieved with Forza 3.

Have you played Forza Motorsport 3?

I was watching the guys at our company trying it out in the office. I tried it a little bit. (Read: We got it recently and we’re all really impressed, I’ve only played it a bit because the guys keep hogging the 360. )
It’s very similar in a lot of aspects to Gran Turismo. (Read: Just like our racing GAME theirs is also a racing GAME. :biggrin: )
Some base components of the game are very different from Gran Turismo. (Read: Our game is on PS3 and theirs is on XBox360. :unsure: )
It’s a little bit different from what a simulator is. You can feel it when you drive it. (Read: Games are different from simulators. :ninja: )
