I've lately crawled from under my rock and noticed that Forza 3 for xbox 360 will offer a 'hidden' multiscreen game mode, provided you have (of course) 3 xboxes 360 (networked via LAN), 3 screens and 3 copies of the game at hand. A wheel/pedals setup wouldn't go amiss, either.

In that setup (eye-candy improbable example shown here) (http://media.techeblog.com/images/forza3video.jpg), the central screen will be the forward view, and each of the other 2 screns will provide forward-to-lateral point of view.

Weened on the likes of Atari's TX-1 (look it up, kids), I for one can't wait to very patiently build my own setup (from cheap 2nd hand 360 Arcades and 17" PC TFTs :D), and Santa's help been enlisted...

...will anyone else on here?

For the cost factor, I cant see it adding that much to the game IMO. Easier and cheaper to just jump in the car if you want a good driving experience.

Now apply this to COD MW2???

Forza 2 also had this feature. If only I had the kit to try it. :)

Actually if I remeber right, Forza 2 can be played with four screens, the main three as above, and one acting as a rear view mirror. I'm sure the setup I saw had three massive TFT screens and one tiny one attached to the top part of the middle screen.

I always thought that Forza 2 had the option to use 6 screens for a more or less full 360 view.


Looking forward to Forza 3 anyway.

Considering I have friends with 360's (one friend has 4, another has 2) we could club together just to see what its like, and maybe post some pics.

For the cost factor, I cant see it adding that much to the game IMO. Easier and cheaper to just jump in the car if you want a good driving experience.Setup cost circa £330 (2x360s @£70, 2x17"LCD @£30, 2xVGA cable @£5, 3xForza3 @40) vs Ferrari F430 @£150,000+... bit of an oxymoron there, methinks :hihi:

For sure, it'd be great to have more games supporting the feature. Not sure about FPS, but IL-2 would be great, as well as a 360 re-hash of Steel Battalion :thumbsup:

didn't Jason on the gadget show have a set up like this when he raced against a pro racer at silverstone? It was a good set up, but costly! Excellent game BTW, loving it.

Yeah, if I remember right the chair alone was about two and a half grand. Amazing setup but I don't think I'll have one anytime soon. :)

They had this setup at Eurogamer Expo last month with a chair and wheel. Even though I'm good at Forza with a pad, I failed spectacularly, since I haven't used a wheel in years (my time round the 'ring in a Veyron was a good 20 seconds slower than I managed in an M5 using a pad the night before"). To get a decent experience out of it, rather than it being a gimmick, you'll need 3 big quality TVs, a racing chair and a Fanatec wheel, plus a decent dedicated sound rig. Probably a few grand's worth of stuff. If money's no object and you have half a room spare, great. If not, pointless. Certainly not worth saving up for, and I can't see it adding any benefit at all doing it with a pad and having a couple of 17" screens either side of a big TV, that wouldn't be immersive, it would just look silly.
