Gran Turismo 5 Facts...(UPDATED)

Yeah, im sure its a fact you think GT5 >>> Forza3. Not so much about the actual quality of both games using the previous ones as example.

I went to Best Buy one morning to buy Street Fighter IV.On the shelf of returned open items for 50% half off marked price was the new GT Force Steering Wheel. I had to check my Iphone twice to make sure it was the top of the line model. I got it for 50 dollars!!!!I Walked out of Best Buy like I stole something :P

I find it weird that everyone is flipping out over Nascar when Forza 2 had Nascar tracks from the very beginning. :?Ninja-Hippo

It had rally cars as well but that doesn't mean that you could go to a WRC event.

It's been said multiple times GT5 isn't 1080p it is 1280*1024 (natively) then upscaled.

GT5P used all the features of the G25 including the clutch, so yes I'm sure that GT5 will have all G25 functions

I bet if you pay them FIVE GRAND they would put him in.

Don't know how anyone can say Forza 3 > GT 5 when Forza is playing catch up.jakarai

I think alot has to do with the tuning, customization of parts and paint which makes people prefer Forza. Not to mention the online racing is pretty impressive. As I said before though I'm patiently waiting for GT5.

Forza incorporates an arcade racer style while GT focuses on unrelenting realism.da_iceman017

Can we end the debate already? First Forza 2, and now sadly Forza 3 VS GT5 argument, GT5 isn't going to be out this year and has been taking way too long. MS shows up at E3 with what is going to be the greatest racer to ever come out and it's launching in OCTOBER! AND they showed gameplay, something GT5 has been missing for like, what, 10 years?! GT5 can't be better than Forza 3 when it's not even out for god's sake!

Top gear test track ? Hmm one of my favorite shows I like it except the final statment. When both games r out then we can decide which is better

UPDATED! :D

What facts are you basing your argument off of.da_iceman017

How so?

It seems the Forza series so far has more features, more customization,has more realistic physics, etc (keep in mind I'm not talking about the two upcomng games). It might be hard to swallow, but I think it's the other way around now.

For once I'd like to see GT fanboys back up comments like these with arguments. Is that too much to ask?

It's funny. Everytime a GT fanboy says this, they never support it.

OK, first off lets clear up the fact GT is a DRIVING Sim not a racing sim and there is a difference. While I enjoy Forza the fact you can get into a Ford GT and do 170+ mph in second gear is not what I call simulation of any kind hence the arcade incorporation.

Can someone PLEASE answer me on this one. Why do people say the gameplay(driving mechanics) are so much more dominant in Forza? I honestly feel like those who say so NEVER played GT5P... I hated GT4's handling and honestly thought that Forza handling was amazing when I first played 1 and 2. It has the ebst car handling available to this date, BUT people that compare the handling of Forza to GT are usually comparing it to GT4 and GT5 has a completely revamped driving system. If you disagree with me try driving the same car in both games and you will see what I'm talking about. I tried playing GT4 the other day and I felt like my car was a dump truck, but my GT5p plays so much different that it's not even funny. Car handling wise, it's different then Forza, but both are REALLY good and you must be a fanboy to say the other sucks. To like one more then the other is perfectly fine, but to say GT5's car handling/gameplay sucks is blind fanboyism at it's best. Both feature amazing gameplay mechanics and which ever choice you make you will have an amazing game.

Gah the Top Gear test track, now I'm a little jealous... If it could incorporate real rally racing then I would have to say GT5 is looking better than F3, but the Nascar thing is kind of dumb, the Nascar like track in Forza 2 is the most boring track in the game, the only fun thing about it is turning around and hitting the other cars for ridiculous crashes. In the end though I do like Forza's arcade elements, because they definitely don't make the game to burnout like but make it arcade enough to be inviting.

And I 100% agree with you, but GT5p is a demo to GT5 and I hate to pull the demo thing out, but it shows that the gameplay is not bad and its miles ahead of GT4 which everybody seems to compare Forza to and with GT5 full there's always a possibility for more internal customizations and stuff that can be done like in Froza 2. Pd isn't dumb. They are not going to sit down and not look at their competitors at all. They are taking/have taken a very close look at Froza 2/3 and seeing what they can implement into their game. So the overall point of my post is that GT5p doesn't have a crap gameplay engine. It's a VERY solid foundation which will most likely be improved upon on final release.

Am I the only one that feels like the vehicles feel disconnected from the track? I'm not sure how to describe it.

Yea GT5P, I don't know what it is but to me the vehicles look very floaty.

The Forza team is arrogant, rude, a dismissive of games they know barely anything about. I mean they sat there at e3 clamoring how they are making the "DEFINITIVE" racing game of the generation and that nothing that comes out will beat it. I can understand maybe saying it like once, but they kept repeating the bs. Sure its going to be a great game no doubt, but this is out of hand.

Read this quote: "So, props to Kazunori Yamauchi-san and the PS1 team," said Greenwalt. "That said," he continued, "I feel that he's passed us the baton. Perhaps he hasn't meant to, but we have taken the genre to new levels and they've stopped evolving the genre. So again, tremendous respect to him, but I'd say the differentiator is they're old school." He conclued, "The emperor's naked, and I don't want to, you know, I don't want to slap him around, but no game competes [with] us right now." (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/05/turn-10-on-forza-3-no-game-competes-with-us/)

What hell is all I can say...what the hell...

Also they freaking offered people free in-game content for F3 if they would vote for it over GT5 in a cnet poll. Absolutely pathetic. And what was even sadder was that they still lost the poll.
