Rumor: No Disc-Swapping in Forza 3


Last week, getting a look at materials thanks to the sieve that is Intellisponse, hints dropped that Forza 3's car and track catalog was so deep it would need to release on two discs. The Angry Pixel says it has a source who "claims that this may not necessarily happen in the long run."

We questioned the possibility of Forza 3 being distributed on more than one disc. Our source was quick to comment that “one way or the other, the core game will be shipped on a single disc. Content won’t be sacrificed … fans will be pleasantly surprised for what’s in store.”

Angry Pixel went snooping around Dhruva Interactive, a Bangalore-based developer that's worked on Forza in the past, as well as Project Gotham Racing 3 and 4, so presumably the unnamed source is from there. There was the obligatory "more to come fairly soon" (which means E3) but no other details.

More Leaks: Forza 3 and Call of Duty


Other nuggets gleaned from the ongoing mining of the Xbox marketing leak by Xbox 360 Fanboy:

• The next Call of Duty will be known as "World at War" instead of CoD5. There are five box concepts leaked. There's speculation that calling it World at War is an effort to keep the lifespan of hot-selling CoD4 running as long as possible.

• Forza Motorsport 3 is so huge that the limitations of the DVD format became an issue. It will include 400 cars, 100 tracks and must ship on two discs. Car deformation was also mentioned as a feature of the new title.

How Will Bungie's Departure Affect Turn 10?

It won't, says Turn 10 Studios (big) boss man Alan Hartman. The developer of Forza Motorsport 2 and adoring child to providing parent company Microsoft isn't planning on going independent any time soon, says the studio manager. According to Hartman's in-company interview, the guys at Turn 10 seem pretty content working for Microsoft, who they say has nurtured a good environment for them to build one of the strongest racing franchises this generation.

a word from our sponsor

Forza 2 DLC Goes Live August 1, Sponsored By Nissan

The first batch of downloadable content for Turn 10 Studios' Forza Motorsport 2 will be available to download just hours from now, scheduled to hit Xbox Live at 2 AM PDT late tonight/early tomorrow morning. The first pack is free and features three Nissan rides, the 2007 Sentra SE-R, Altima, and 350Z. Slightly less attractive for Microsoft Point misers is the Peugeot 908 race car which one can download from the Xbox Live Marketplace for 50 MS points, about 63 cents. Whatta bargain!

Further details, including info on some upcoming Nissan sponsored contests, at the official site.

New Forza 2 Cars, Tracks Just Around The Bend

Hey, Che Chou, community manager at Turn 10 Studios, creators of Forza Motorsport 2. I have a question. When are Xbox 360 owners going to have the opportunity to pony up some Microsoft Points for new downloadable content? Three hundred cars and a baker's dozen tracks just isn't cutting it anymore. A general answer will be fine.

The general answer to that question has always been "yes," we definitely have DLC up our sleeves and will release a series of car packs and new tracks starting in August and running probably through a good chunk of fall. Forza Motorsport 2 is definitely here to stay. We're also going to continually keep an eye on community and its successes and problems, patching and tweaking where we need to and rewarding those who are especially helpful or give back to the community.

Oh, thanks, Che! I love these little conversations we have.

m for modifiable

ESRB Needs New User Generated Content Rating

Is the ESRB going far enough to protect game developers from the people who modify their games? Should the ratings board be more clear about the "modability" of an ESRB-rated game? Cathode Tan and Curmudgeon Gamer recently touched on the subject of a Forza Motorsport 2 user's offensive paintjobs wondering why normally inaccessible content in games like The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas warranted re-ratings from the board, but offensive hate speech in a user created car don't see similar scrutiny.

Racist Paintjobs Slip Through Forza 2 Moderation

User created content has been enabled in a much broader capacity with the current generation of hard drive and internet enabled consoles and software that aims to take advantage of this hardware. This a trend we'll see more of than less over the course of the generation, with software like LittleBigPlanet, Forza Motorsport 2 and Mii creation generating a great deal of buzz with gamers. This capability has been a facet of PC gaming for many years, spawning mods and levels that rival commercial products. Sadly, there is a downside to this freedom to create. More »

Forza Tuning For Noobs

The Turn 10 Studios team have added a Forza Motorsport 2 tuning primer to the development house's official blog, giving car tweaking newbies a quick education on how to get the most out of their virtual autos. In addition to some helpful required reading, some sage advice is dispensed, the best of which is simply to find the best and copy it. If you don't know your camber from your caster, your oversteer from your understeer, it's a worthwhile (and brief) read. Michael McWhertor More »

Halo 3 Box Contents Xtremely Detailed

Confused about what version of Halo 3 contains which goodies? Let's let Frankie from Bungie clear that right up for you with this week's edition of the Bungie Weekly Update. He'll also address a rumor running rampart on the internet today, one that implied Halo 3 would ship on two discs. Surely, it would've devolved into a Blu-ray versus HD-DVD pissing match at some point, so I'm quite glad we missed it. More »

Week in Games: Mario Party 8 Edition

As I depart the Big Apple (where I've been reporting from all weekend) I leave you with this list of games coming out this week. Mario Party looks like it might be some fun with the addition of the Wii remote mechanic and I'd like to see how the 2d to 3d Crush is for the PSP. Other than that, I can satisfy myself with finishing up Silent Hill 2 which for some reason I decided to haul out of the mothballs. Anyone going to round out a holiday weekend by picking one or two of these up? Flynn De Marco More »
