Forza 3 Holiday Car Pack DLC

The next downloadable content (DLC) car pack from Turn 10 studios is just a week away from hitting an Xbox 360 dashboard near you, filled with some of the hottest cars on the planet! The Hot Holidays Car pack will be available for download on Tuesday December 8th and will cost 400 Microsoft Points.

paying for content that should be including in the game in the first place.

get your act up devs...

making dlc a gimmick

[Chaos Striker]

Well you also have to think on the flip side. Why do they have dlc? Nowadays, the cost of publishing and creating a game is in the tens of millions. Depending on the situation, a game may or may not sell 1 million copies, which is typically the break even point for a decent profit (The number of copies needed to be sold can also increase or decrease depending on the cost). So, by charging dlc they can effectively make direct profit without the publishing and other charges involved in the traditional process. Additionally, this extends the life of a game, but that is another matter.

dlc includes cars releasing in 2010 .u have to remember this game is actually out not continuously delayed .

[Elven6]

Who said this was in the game? Besides, Forza came out in October, it is completely plausible that they were working on DLC after the game released, you know, like how a lot of developers do now.

If you want to complain, why not complain about the developers who announce DLC before the game is even out?

[Immortal321]

thats what happen when you rush

now the gamers have to pay

[Tr10wn]

No JDM or American car :( oh the S4 is pretty nice :)

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

This is great news! We pay for quality unlike the PS3 faboys who get the Ferrari 458 Italia for free in GT5 because it sucks and it's not worth paying for.

(I hate being a 360 fanboy because it's to hard trying to find PS3's fault)

what has gaming come to?

i remember downloading different cars on the pc version of various nfs games for free. Even opening up files to tweak the cars to my preference.

its a shame these companies have taken away all control from the user and now charge for stuff like this.

imo this stuff should be user created and for free.

[bumnut]

thats why pc gaming is better than console gaming.

[champ21]

talk about getting shafted.

first they increase the prices of games on consoles this gen, as compensation for higher cost of development.

Later they milk the console base more by charging for stuff that previously was called patches now renamed dlcs.. ouch.

[bumnut]

thanks to the admins for editing out most of my post.

[Elven6]

Cars cost a lot to license, it's really hard to subsidize free DLC packs for this kind of stuff. A lot of games didn't even get DLC a few years ago, infact, most were lucky to get patches! Now that things have been more centralized DLC has become a viable option.

[xg-ei8ht]

Ok

Pay for Console.
Pay for Game
Pay for Dlc

Nice

[Serial_EDX]

Applies to all systems :3

Better then buy game wait 4 years for next game, next game has same cars as last 4 games before it.

[Tr10wn]

correction 5 year almost 6 :)

[dragonelite]

And not bringing out dlc means dev are not supporting there game.
And a game like forza 3 where its community are pretty close with the devs on the forum they want dlc pack and forza 3 already put alot of free dlc packs just like forza 2 had free car packs.

[Revvin]

Many people were very happy with Forza 3 when it released and with the content. You don't have to buy the DLC, nobody is holding a gun to your head so enjoy Forza 3 with all the content it had at release, enjoy the free cars they have given away.

[Serial_EDX]

I would rather have DLC with new cars, then a new game with cars that have been in the rest of the series. Meaning 4 other copys of the game from past systems.

[hac-hunter]

Last time I checked, a good number of cars from Forza 1 and Forza 2 are also in Forza 3.
What are you implying?

[Serial_EDX]

Here's the difference. They all came with new upgrades body kits etc.

While in GT series. same parts, same companys no body kits. no damage, no nothing. 100% identical.

[Samer305]

why are you bringing up GT ? What does Gt have to do with this topic.

[Serial_EDX]

Every. since ps3 owners trashed F3 all the time, but have yet to back up GT with anything good.

[Why o why]

F*cking pathetic ass
So its okay for sony to steal from MS, but not for ms to take ideas from sony.

F*cking pathetic piece of sh*t.

BTW people get sued for less then that slogan. IDK like a system not having a HDD. when it says "NO HARD DRIVE INCLUDED"

more then likely one of your dumb f*ck nigger ps3 fanboys."

So typical you can give it but you cant take it......make a new account you twat...It only does everything...including exposing inbreds as childish fools who cant read who get angry when challenged ...lol

[hac-hunter]

Said cars that are included in all of the Forza games come with the same body kits in all three iterations of the game.
Indeed, damage is a feature that was done since the first forza, but it hasn't really changed since i.e. it's still unrealistic.
I'll give you an example.
I was playing Forza 3, during a race, I messed up and rear-ended the car in front of me ever so slightly on the driver side rear bumper and smashed his tail lights. Somehow, the tail light on the passenger side got smashed up too. wonder how that happened. This is the same antiquated damage system from the first Forza game.
The upgrade system is the same from the first forza game.
you still have your basic categories: engine, suspension, transmission, upgrades. New to Forza 3 is that they've segregated Engine and Drivetrain swaps into their own respective categories.
The GUI got a fresh coat of paint, but the underpinnings are the same.

Aside from that, Forza 3 is pretty much 90% of the same car roster from Forza 1 and 2, the same 8 car per race, the same damage modeling system, the same arcady driving dynamics/physics, more or less the same upgrade/car ranking system...all with a fresh coat of paint.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting something revolutionary from GT5 either, but this is a case of the kettle calling the pot black.

[solidjun5]

But he wasn't that abrasive. I knew he was somewhat childish but I didn't think he would resort that racism to argue his point. Seriously, what a Twat.

[Crystallis]

WTF serial, not only are you an ignorant 360 fanboy but your a racist too? Why am i not surprised.

[level 360]

I remember them saying cars and tracks so am hoping those race tracks will come-out sometime after..

..just wish they could give the cars for free and make use of the points system on the tracks.
