Forza 3 Goes Gold and Intro Video

Couple of big announcements from Turn 10 this week:

The FM3 game intro video has been released! Check it out here. While scoring Forza was an exciting experience and magnificent challenge this track was special in that we had so much pressure from ourselves to get it right. Much midnight oil was burned. Hope you enjoy the results.

And Forza 3's gone gold which means all of the work is complete and the game has gone to duplication. In celebration Turn 10 is releasing a demo on the 24th of this month via Xbox Live. There's one playable track and five cars.

Here's the blurb from the FM3 site

___________________________________

The white flag waves as “Forza Motorsport 3” has Gone Gold, entering its final lap before launching on Oct. 22 in Asia, Oct. 23 in Europe and Oct. 27 in North America exclusively on Xbox 360. To mark the occasion, Microsoft and Turn 10 today confirmed that a demo of the highly anticipated title will arrive on Xbox LIVE Marketplace starting Sept. 24.


The new demo lets you get behind the wheel of five of the world’s most amazing cars on the full circuit of the game’s Camino Viejo track. The demo includes five playable cars:

*
2007 Porsche #80 Flying Lizard 911 GT3-RSR
*
2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro
*
2009 Ferrari California
*
2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR
*
2009 Mini John Cooper Works

You will be able to drive all of the cars in the demo in full cockpit view as well as experience damage, rollover and try out the game’s new rewind feature as you take turns on a beautiful Spanish mountain course inspired by the Montserrat region just outside of Barcelona, Spain. When logged into Xbox LIVE, the demo will also support official leaderboards for lap times, giving you a further taste of what players will experience in “Forza Motorsport 3.”

With today’s Gone Gold announcement and the recent announcements around the fan-designed R8 V10 5.2 FSI quattro and the exclusive Limited Collector’s Edition (which includes 10 exclusive bonus cars, VIP community status, and more), there has never been a better time to pre-order “Forza Motorsport 3.”

Additionally, Turn 10 is proud to unveil the first collection of Forza Motorsport-branded clothing and accessories for your Xbox LIVE avatar. Included in our first batch of gear are the following items. Check out the pictures below. The prices for Avatar gear will vary between 80 to 320 Microsoft Points.

The Latest Forza 3 Videos

IGN just put up a great direct feed video used at PAX featuring the FM3 paint shop. It does a good job of highlighting some of the sound design and music I created for the UI.

And if this one doesn't make you want to play the game...
Here's a link to all of the new videos up on the Forza site proper

Super Car Bugatti Veyron

Wow. I'm excited to play the Bugatti Veyron when FM3 comes out. New video on Joystiq.com just came out with great footage of the team working on this breathtaking car. The bed music is all culled from the custom score I produced for the game.
