Video: Capturing the Bugatti Veyron for Forza 3

By George Skentzos |

Yesterday we brought you news that the V8 Supercars were featured in the highly anticipated Xbox 360 racing sim, Forza 3, and now the developers have also confirmed the addition of the Bugatti Veyron.

The announcement video goes beyond the game, illustrating in detail just what it takes to shrink a life-size Veyron to suit a virtual race track and the challenges faced by developers to convey the driving experience of the Veyron as accurately as possible.

    Looks like they’ve stepped up to Polyphony’s level of detail in the cars modelling. If Microsoft put the same amount of detail into the games physics it will be as good a game as GT5.

      Forza’s physics has always been ahead of GT. Forza correctly simulates things such as tyre pressure/temp etc, GT does it also…but doesn’t do it convingsingly enough to believe that it is real. Yes, GT is ahead of Forza in some departments, but overall – Forza Motorsport is an outstanding simulator and can teach the GT team a lot about making a sim racer.

      And what an interesting video, no one can say that video games are “toys” and this proves it.

    The physics just look unbelievable, a Veyron would understeer well before pulling power slides as depicted.
