Huge Forza fan here. The actual driving was, of course, great. But man, the aliasing is *killing* the presentation for me. I don't remember 3 being so rough. The lighting is great, models, etc. But I hope this older build ( I think this is the e3 demo) isn't a final representation of the game. The lack of aliasing is instantly noticeable.

I came in here thinking the headline would read, "...has fully...voiced characters".

oh well. I'll take an orchestrated soundtrack as consolation.

@King Johngie the Fourth

Awesome?

@Viriathus

But then they couldn't charge you separately for it.

@embassy

Or..."Joystiq".

After looking through the finalists, guess I won't be buying a Joystick tee this go-round.

Oh, also, we should all give artist #1 a prize for either:

a) getting his entire family to sign up for a Joystick account and vote or..

b) making 10 fake accounts and voting for himself

That's moxy, kid.

@embassy

Final point,

While everyone is latching onto my (admittedly Hyperbole-laden) semantics over her speech, my main point (as mentioned in my initial post) is that "Letitia" is:

1. Just bad character design
2. Horribly voiced (like some others in the game)

Which leads to her coming off as a caricature/cartoon in an otherwise "realistically" stylized world. *That's* my main point. The racial stuff is just icing on the cake. I mean c'mon, there's a *clear* disconnect between her visual appearance and her over-the-top VO.

@glibglop

I live in South Florida (Miami area) so yea, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say there are just as many culturally/economically diverse areas here as there are in San Fran (if not more) and I can't recall anyone speaking in slave jive talk.

Southern slang? Sure. Urban slang? Yep. But that shuckin nonsense? No.

@Ballistic H

Yea, it went from 34% of the HD market to 31%. Wonder if that's a sign of plateau-ing.

Also, it's funny how it cut off at WaW. I have a feeling MW1 outsold it fairly easily so they left it off the chart to keep the illusion of growth.

@JimeeB

I live in the south and I don't hear this kinda nonsense.

There's a distinction between modern day urban/inner city-dialect/slang and flat-out blackface shukin/jivin talk. And I think this video represents the latter.
