nice job on the screenshot which is clearly GRID not forza3. this is what happens when your image source is from a site called hiphopgamershow.

Are you sure, sometimes it's in events. Earlier today the Forza demo wasn't up in the market place, but it was in events under the TGS section.

Hopefully it'll be up later or maybe tomorrow...

I have 4 demo's on the download as we speak.

It's crazy the amount of games coming out in the next few months. The bad thing about having such varied taste in games is that I like too many games. I have about $800 worth of games I want to get spread out across 3 systems, and that's only until Jan. 1st.
I'm screwed. But yeah, it's a good time of year.

I know I was supposed to get 800 from the summer of arcade deal.....is that what this is? I got more than 800 added though. So strange. I had roughly 600 points in there, waiting for the L4D add-on, now I have over 1600. So I got about a 1000 points added, not 800.
Anyone else receive mystery points? I don't know if this is a mistake or not. Maybe I should spend them really fast.

I don't like realistic driving sims much either but hey, I'll give Forza 3 a shot. Always a chance I'll find something I like in it.

If anyone's wondering, the demo allows you to drive the following:
2009 MINI John Cooper Works
2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR
2009 Ferrari California
2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro
2007 Porsche #80 Flying Lizard 911 GT3-RSR
You race against other car models as well, but I really can't tell what from what. I wish the demo included the paint editor which is my chief incentive in getting the game. The presentation is slick and the graphics are incredible, I just wish the dumbed down "easy" options made the game play more like Daytona and less like Real Driving For Dummies. My only gripe is the music really, but the 360's custom soundtrack can fix that.
It also remains to be seen how the rewind feature will be implemented in the full game, but I still think it's a stupid (albeit well done) addition for a sim game. What's the point of time challenges and leaderboards when you give everyone the tool to erase their mistakes? Hopefully, it'll be limited to modes which won't impact high scores and the like.

The demo alone features some of the worst camerawork since 3D games became all the rage in the N64/PS1 days. I had to restart the entire demo after the car tipped over, trapping my character. A jittery framerate and a feeling of "more of the same" creeping in in less than 10 minutes turned this one from a "must buy" to a "possible rent" in under 20 minutes. A real shame, as this was at the top of my list and the only game I was really looking forward to playing on the 360 this holiday season.

Good to know in a bad way I guess. I'll still try it for myself but with less excitement now.
09/24/09
...What game did you play? I didn't experience, well, any of what you said. You have control of the camera. I'll give you the hack and slash gets samey. The car handled great here, highlight of the demo. I am confused.

Why? Why taunt us with a demo of a game as an incentive to buy it? Y'know what the point of a demo is?! To convince me to buy it! To make me want more! MOAR!!!

Some preorder bonuses are cool. One of my favorites was the coin that I got with Super Mario Galaxy. Or the armor for Metal Gear Portable Ops. Beta access is ok for multiplayer, that's nice, but a single-player demo shouldn't ever be preorder exclusive.

I don't know too much about PSN, are there other shortcomings? Is it only Tuesdays that they don't update or is it a once a week thing?
btw, I'm just curious, not trying to start a flame war.

I was hoping for a lot from Forza but until they stop rendering their cars in ways that make them look like shiny, plastic, candy-coated toys, I will stick with Polyphony's game. Especially since the stuff they announced at TGS puts GT5 on equal footing against Forza when it comes to features, some of which are much more interesting on the GT5 side of things.
