Forza3 vs GT5, FIGHT!


Can You Tell The Difference?


"Forza Motorsport 3” offers more than 400 fully customizable and tunable cars from over 50 of the world’s leading manufacturers.

All 400-plus cars in the game have been built with more than 10 times the amount of polygons as “Forza Motorsport 2.” This includes painstakingly researched cockpits and interiors for every vehicle. But realism isn’t just about pretty graphics. Turn 10 takes realism to new heights, leading the industry with the most advanced physics model, artificial intelligence and damage calculations.

Gran Turismo 5 remains the most likely candidate to be the first proper system seller for the PS3. But no released date has yet been confirmed and the game is almost guaranteed to be put back to 2010. The PS3 will be in its fourth year by then and approaching middle age - which is just too long to wait in my opinion. GT5 had better be something very fucking special when it does finally get here as other developers seem to be able to get games out to the same exacting standards and graphical prowess in a fraction of the time. To me, the new Forza3 is something we should have had at least a year ago if it were not for the detail obsessed freak behind GT5's developement. At the end of the day a driving game should be about driving above all else. Forza3 even has it's own in game editing. will GT5 have this? i doubt it very much. will GT5s crash damage look as good? i doubt it very much. will it allow you to customise your car further than a spoiler and a set of chrome rims? i doubt it very much.

Forza 3 has just handed Gran Turismos arse to it on a plate with a big steaming side order of 'what ever you can do we can do better and faster'. Polyphony Digital had better step up to the mark and save the one last thing we had as PS3 drivers. [mobiletone]

  1. Tone - I can in no way endorse Forza as their developer (Dan summat or other) keeps running his mouth off about GT.

    He's making himself look a right dick with his constant 'my game is better than your game' digs.

    We always have to wait ages for a new GT, it's sort of like a rite of passage. That said, I would like to see it before this Christmas if possible.

    Also - with regards to the damage model, I'm sure I've heard/read Kaz Yamauchi stating that if he was gonna do damage he would do it when the tech allowed him to do it properly (i.e. you can damage all parts of the car, both internal & external) as he wasn't impressed with current damage modelling.

    Whether PS3 is that tech I don't know, but sincerely hope it is - no point having photo-realism if your damage model is shite!

  2. OK, so Forza 3 is a total rip on GT5 but the point being the 360 is going to have it months before we get GT5. that's the kicker here, they look so alike in action it's heart breaking. think i'm going to have to hassle my 360 owning mates into buying it :) the one small victory is we get 1080p and they can only rock 1080i

    damage is in GT5, i've seen a couple of videos showing it happening so we will be getting it.. eventually...
