Images Xbox 360

You may have been worried not to have heard about Forza Motorsport 3 for a week but you can now take a deep breath, Turn 10 won't let you guys down. Today, they have released no less than 42 - ! - images presenting some of the muscle cars you will find in the game. If you don't OD after that, then you're definitely ready for this October. As usual of course, the game looks stunning.

Nice pics. But (yes, there's always a but), I want some direct-feed gamplay footage...please! Also, I hate muscle cars...

Looks as good as always but I’m not really into muscle cars.
The only one I really care for is the 1968 Shelby GT500. I hope they got some kits for these as well e.g. I don’t really like this look:

Just unbeliabable.

Well, if they are indeed bullshots, then the bullshot professionals must have no life as they have to touch up and photoshop every single image of a half hundreed images every week.

Talk about dedication. ; )

ah, you can really see the tire morphing in action here.
I've never seen that before.

Maybe I just wasn't paying attention before.

Forza's replay/photo system has never touched up images you can see by checking out user taken images with Forza 2.

They looked washed out because they have the brightness turned to high.

Looks astounding, and picture 2 looks almost photorealistic. However, take a look at the arch on the bodywork above the wheel in this picture. I hope they aren't slacking off on some car models as far as detail goes.

COMPARISON
----------------
top is forza 2
bottom is forza 3,
not much difference.
2 years of wait for this , GT5 will be better.

Yes, not much difference apart from about 80,000 polygons inside and outside the car upon really close up inspection.

Lol yeah that's actually a great comparison shot, I can't beleive how much more they've been able to squeeze out of the 360.

I do still remain somewhat skeptical (until we get some direct feed videos) of this translating into ingame graphics since it could be that they're simply improved the photomode graphics lol.

Dude, everybody likes the Shelby. Remember the one Nicholas Cage was driving in the movie "Gone In 60 Seconds"?

Funny story. I showed my 8 year old nephew and now he wants a Lamboghini poster on his bedroom wall.
