Forza Motorsport is a great franchise and a great answer for Microsoft Xbox360 to compete with Gran Turismo. Gran Turismo always lacked a damage modeling system in their game and considering Forza had that function since day one added more realism and fun factor for the xbox platform. Now it seems that the roles has now been reversed sorta speak because now Gran Turismo has the damage feature along with Rally Car Racing, Nascar Racing, Weather Changes, and Day/Night cycles making this game really over the top.

Considering the power we’ve seen over the years out of Xbox360 the question has now been raised about the possibility of limitations coming to the console. Forza 3 won’t be featuring Day/Night cycles, Weather Changes, or even Rally Races, regardless the game is going to be great but at the same time this is a competition, but what is truly holding Forza back from implementing these features that the fans want.

Here’s A Quote Supporting The DVD Limitation Issue

Forza’s Content Director John Wendl Had This To Say

“It is going to ship on two discs. Disc one is the full experience. Even disc one is bigger than any other racing game out there. Disc two includes a lot of extra cars, even a handful of tracks.”

Extra Cars And Tracks are major considering the amount of power and detail that goes into the tracks and car models and damage to these car models. So will the DLC be coming soon or has the DVD issue struck hard against the 360.

Microsoft just like any other game company wants to make money and DLC has been the answer this gen and it’s also competitive against the used game market that Gamestop is notorious for. Now is it possible that this game is being held back on purpose so that Microsoft can make more money from DLC patches adding these features later on in the games life cycle, or is this the time where we see Forza 3 get outdone by Gran Turismo in more areas than one cause of DVD storage issues.

Weather changes will increase the intensity of gameplay simply because of physics and the dynamics of driving on the road with snow , or rain, alters the way you drive depending on the vehicle you have. Gran Turismo with the amount of cars available and the tune up settings all of these parameters will have to be taken into effect when the wheather changes become apart of the games strategy.

Day and Night cycles are great to show off graphics and also it has an effect on gameplay when it comes to seeing and, spotting things on the road which will also intensify gameplay. Adding the Nascar, and Rally Racing functions changes the entire play style and what you do on the road as a whole to the point where it’s like having 3 games in one what a deal.

Microsoft is smart and most likely these features as they were explained above dealing with Gran Turismo is very important why? because they are selling points and Microsoft does not want to be left out of the loop especially during competitive interviews, without having a answer to there rivals. Forza 3 will most likely have DLC so that they can be able to compete with Gran Turismo and also give the fans what they really want in the next Forza game.

The Forza Franchise always had great features such as the car customizations, the online auctions, and the movie maker function, that’s incredible along with the Le Mans racing, but when it comes to this generation and gameplay gamers want more but the question is this.

IS MICROSOFT REACHING IT’S DEVELOPMENT LIMIT WITH THE DVD STORAGE MEDIUM OR IS THIS A NEW STANDARD METHOD TO MAKE EXTRA MONEY ON GAMES LEAVING OUT FEATURES THAT FANS CRAVE FOR

Forza Motorsport 3 will be out later this year and it will be amazing so stay tuned for more updates regarding this title.

The battle of the online functions between Microsoft and Sony is heating up but who is really delivering on their console for us gamers out there. Eric Lempel of Sony says that they are not playing catch up and in some respects they are doing more than Xboxlive which is obviously not true. Still to this day there’s features gamers have been starving for that after 2 and 1/2 years we still don’t have that’s very instrumental to the success of online gaming.

This is some of what Xboxlive have that PSN doesn’t and it goes as followed.

1. Cross Game Invites
2. Sending Voice Messages
3. In-game Party Chat
There’s more but let’s just leave it at that

Those 3 functions alone adds so much value to the Xbox online community that it’s worth paying for. Now PSN main advantage is the fact you have home with the ability to make new friends without having to start up a game to do so which is great and also it’s free. Truthfully just because something is free doesn’t always mean better, QUALITY always win and in terms of playing games online Xbox Live features and functionality is still on top and this fall considering the addition with twitter and facebook along with other unknown features at the moment Microsoft is going to take Xbox Live to a whole new level.

Think about this Xbox Live has a little over 20 million paid subscribers, if PSN had a subscription service just like XboxLive where would the PSN network be considering the features both online systems provide for gamers.

Here’s some quotes from Eric Lempel Himself below.

“I don’t think there’s a lot of ‘catch up’ [with XBL] any more. In some cases, I think we’ve got more, and we’ve got some other things they don’t have,”

“Right now our free catalogue consists of demos, wallpapers, themes and videos about games. I don’t think we want to degrade the experience you get from a PSP. Because [iPhone] is not a gaming-centric device, I think a user picks it up and says, ‘This is kind of dumb, but I don’t care because I know this device wasn’t intended for games.’

The potential is actually all in Sony’s favor right now because the fact that PSN is a free service all they have to do is implement significant upgrades that will match or even surpass the features Xboxlive has and the moment Sony can provide that service for free then Xbox Live will be dethroned easily but until then gamers has chosen and Xbox Live is the premiere place for online gaming on a console.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TOO ALL THE FATHER’S OUT THERE GOD BLESS

Hate me for this one again like you did for my other article, if you don’t want to face the facts now, don’t even read this article! For another load of truth is about to be unveiled!

All I hear is people saying is “Online play is where it’s at”, “It’s all about the online”, “Online is what it’s all about” “The PS3 isn’t up to date with the online play” and other remarks like so. How ignorant are these people that they still think theres no one or little people online on PSN? Like many people say, its not about the content on the stores, but the online experience! So why do they just go out and spring for a PS3? PS3 has a big install base of users who play on PSN, and with games like DC Universe and The Agency, its only going to expand on this, seeing how players will be able to join the fight and play with there copy of those games for their PC.

Maybe all those remarks would apply to the PSN 2 years ago, but since 2007, the PSN has really picked itself up. Yeah yeah, the PSN still doesn’t offer a wide variety of music (So you can listen through your XMB, it offers too much for add-on content for video games though) or as many exclusive games for the network as XBL does. So what, the 360 has so many games, many that were horrible, that they deleted them completely off there network, the many few that survived, still aren’t the best of downloadable games, they deleted the ones that weren’t selling well. so much for all that great content huh? As for the music issue, so what, you would still have to pay for the music you wanted when you can just import that music to your PS3 from your PC via flash drive/SD card/Disks and many others, and you do that for free! Besides, gaming isn’t much about music if at all. Now if your worried about movies, don’t even worry about that, just because Sony doesn’t have The “Great Experience of NetFlex”, doesn’t mean anything. Sony still has a wide variety of movies, T.V. shows, and Anime (Shyeah… anime), anyways Sony can say they offer Sony Pictures and Columbia Pictures, can Microsoft say this? I think not, since Sony removed there movies from the streaming on NetFlix to the 360!

Now, finally, about the games with the online playability. What, you think if you get games like COD:WAW, GTA4, Madden, Killzone 2, RE:5 (if the rumors are true about 16 p multi-player), etc. that there won’t be anyone online? I can assure you there will be lobbies full of players getting ready for some head to head games with you! There is no other factor in this that 360 owners that don’t call them selves “fanboys” can say “PSN isn’t up with online, thats why I still haven’t bought one”. If there’s people missing from the PSN, it’s all of you who decide that the PSN isn’t as fully flexed as the XBL. The only problem you can still bring up is, “The PS3 takes to long to update, but guess what, thats usually once a month, if not once every two months… before it would be once every other week, but it hasn’t been like that for a good long while, and as apposed to the 360s constant updates every time you put in a game for another go! PS3 has more Firmware updates, but 360 has more game updates! equals out don’t it?

And if you try to bring up that the PS3 lags, don’t even get me started, I play 360 to you know, and they both have lag! This all depends on the people and there connection speeds! At least you can’t use lag machines on the PS3 i’ll tell you what! Not just that, but remember the other features that PSN also has!
