Microsoft Game Studios Readies Forza, Halo 3: ODST

Microsoft announced Forza Motorsport 3 and claims it will be the “definitive racing game of this generation.” The developers emphasized “more” with a 60FPS graphics engine, 400 cars from 50 manufacturers, one button driving, and replays.

Forza supports player created car sharing and a high definition video editor.

Forza Motorsport 3 ships this October.

Halo 3: ODST puts players in the shoes of a rookie. Rookies have a low light vision visor that highlights enemies and objects. The story is told with multiple characters. Players switch between other playable ODSTs by picking up items that switch to different events.

Halo 3: ODST is scheduled for September 22, 2009.
