Turn 10's now eargerly anticipated Forza Motorsport 3 is back with three images of the BMW M3 E92. Even considering how a photo mode can improve how the game looks a bit, it's still some very impressive work.
Update: 5 images added.

Some say, his breath smells of magnesium. And if you give him a really important job, like sitting in a M3 for a photo shoot, he'll skive off and play croquet it. All we know is, he's called The Stig.

Forza lets you set if the driver is visible when taking a photo

Does look very nice, Although for some reason Forza is the only racer I've never been that worried about how it looks, It's always been the game play for me. WHich is a little suprizing as I'm a graphics whore :)

Yeah but quite frankly the gfx in FM2 was very outdated, so its good to see that the quality of the gfx finally matches with the gameplay!
Now its also playable for extreme graphics whores :P

Considering that they made 3 forza games in the time of one GT game...

Thanks for posting that link to those. Get on the ball, 'Syde, and post these up too.

Having mulled over these, how anyone can say that GT5 looks better is beyond me. It's of my opinion that overall this game looks better. That's not to discredit GT5 in any way, because that game looks stunning too. It's just that overall the detail I've seen from just this one track and the interiors of the cars in this game are just at a level that I've not seen so far in any GT5 media. They've even rendered and labeled the bloody CD and headlights control leavers beside the steering wheel FFS!

So what if this game will have 300 or so less cars in it? Who gives a toss? That's about 20 less Nascars (or whatever it is; couldn't give a shit about the sport), 100 less (or more) useless bangers that you won't even be bothered driving, and God knows what other shyte. Don't get me wrong: I loved all that about GT where it had a wide range of models to pick from, but from my experience there was just that many that you looked at them one or two times and just forgot they were there. I'm sure if Turn 10 had another 4 years to make this as PD had to make their game, then it would have another 400 or more inadequate models. I think 400 is plenty, but then again that is of course just my opinion.

That's taken with a video camera off a screen. I doubt that'd hold up as a fair comparison...

Forza 2 had so so graphics all around but the worst part for me was how the colors just weren't vibrant enough. Almost all the colors looked dull and lifeless and was really uninspiring when you sat down to paint your car and the only basecoat color that looked any good was dark blue black or white. Yellows looked the worst, but reds, greens, almost everything was pretty bad. It looks like they've improved it in 3 but it's still there a bit when i watch the video with yellow cars lol. At the time I was playin PGR 3/4 and GT prologue which both do not have this issue.

Why add 5 more? There are 20 new ones out there, or are you waiting to get it officially?

I only have two hands and sometimes they are busy doing something else than posting news (nothing naughty here). :)

We're trying to keep you updated as best as we can but sometimes, we just need a little time. ;)

Pictures are tuned up but still FM3 looks really good. That's how FM2 should look like.

Tuned up? They're from in-game photo mode screenshots. The cars are easily on par with GT5, but the trackside detail is better than anything I've seen in GT.
