Forza Motorsport 3 – SimHQ Hands On

The guys over at SimHQ.com were on site at the E3 expo and gave Turn 10′s Forza Motorsport 3 a try.

Their hands on article includes their impressions of the physics with all aids off (!), a first try of Fanatec’s Porsche 911 Turbo S wheel for Xbox 360 as well as some inside info as the guys talked with Turn 10′s Alan Hartman and Thomas Jackermeier from Fanatec.

    Don’t mean to start trouble but I just came across this interesting quote from Che Chou, main PR guy from Turn 10.

    “Perhaps the most surprising to me was when a couple developers from Gran Turismo makers Polyphony Digital came by to personally get hands-on with Forza 3, all the while taking careful notes, examining our UI system, shooting photos, and directly asking us some pretty interesting questions. The reason I say I was personally surprised was because PD aren’t generally known as a studio to acknowledge that there are racing games that exist beyond their own. Which could explain why the GT franchise has been so stagnant in the racing genre since GT3. So it seems competition is good for the consumer after all. I know for a fact that Turn 10 will never stop pushing racing games to the next level.”

    This rivalry of theirs just got a lot more interesting. BTW it’s already been confirmed that PD was at Forza 3′s demo stations for a good while…
