Hyundai Genesis Coupe coming to Forza 3 for free

by Ben Gilbert { Nov 3rd 2009 at 3:05PM }

In one of those "We feel sort of gross about this, but it's okay 'cause we get something cool for free" kinda ways, Microsoft today announced a partnership with Hyundai to bring the Genesis Coupe to Forza 3 as DLC on November 17. And not just one measly version, but three: a Rhys Millen Racing Red Bull Hundai Genesis Coupe, an HKS Genesis Coupe, and a "one of a kind" Genesis Coupe will arrive as a pack – free of charge! And though the name Hyundai may not exactly be synonymous with high speed racing, we're assured their modded counterparts will help to clear any misconceptions.

Can't complain about freebies.

Whoever wrote about the Genesis Coupe here is a blithering idiot. I'm going to just sit here and assume you haven't read the specs on the stock Genesis Coupe whatsoever. It's right up there with a 350z and G35. V6 at 305hp? I'm guessing your limited knowledge of cars and Hyundai in particular date back to the 80's when Hyundai was a joke.

Easy there fanboy! He just said they weren't known for high speed racing, which is the truth.

Not all horsepower is created equally. Plenty of 4-cylinder cars have decent pick-up and low HP.

The Genesis wants to be the G37, but it's not there yet. For the last two years you could buy the Genesis if you wanted a car that wasn't quite as stylish, wasn't quite as fast, and didn't handle quite as well but cost less. Now that the price has shot up to G37 levels you get a car that isn't quite as stylish, isn't quite as fast, doesn't handle quite as well, but costs the same as the G37.

The Genesis wants to be the G37. When it cost less than the G37 it was a well-respected car. It wasn't quite as stylish, wasn't quite as fast, didn't handle quite as well, but it cost less so it was a good buy. Now that the price has gone up Hyundai is shooting itself in the foot. Now they offer a car that isn't quite as stylish, not quite as fast, doesn't handle as well as the G37, but cost almost as much.

D'oh! Stupid comment system. I waited 10 minutes for the original post to appear.

Jay @ Nov 3rd 2009 3:34PM

Not known to who? People who know cars are far better informed. If someone is going to write an article with an editorial comment stating something, it'd probably be best to actually have knowledge on the topic.

This would be really fun to race online...if online racing didn't suck in Forza 3

B-rad @ Nov 3rd 2009 4:50PM

WRONG. Online does NOT suck in Forza 3 sir. I've got the game and played plenty of online matches, and so far nothing but smooth sailing. Matchmaking is good. No hiccups in racing. And it quick. All the whiny bitches who moan and complain about this game need to chill the fuck out. This is a great game. I say, Turn 10: do NOT fix multiplayer. Leave it the hell alone. It is vastly superior to the crapfest in FM2. The game kicks the shit out of FM2, and it deserves all the praise its been getting. Now bring on the free DLC.

Bravo, I didn't know how easy it was to troll Joystiq commenters. You make it look effortless! :D

Well, an opinion can't be wrong, but that's semantics. Turn 10 even admitted that they knew people weren't going to like it. There is a near 100 page thread on the official website of hundreds of people stating their dislike for the game.

IGN has it as an average user review of 5.6! 5.6! and its awesome?

Derek @ Nov 3rd 2009 8:37PM

Oh yea? Well the average user review on Gamespot is 9.2! 9.2! Yeah, it's awesome. Anyways, nice to see some free stuff once in a while.

But where`s the R35 Nissan GT-R??

geminiman @ Nov 5th 2009 1:14AM
