Following closely. Loved the style of forza 4, but put that in an open world game and you have the realism of forza, with the open world of need for speed.

Since the last game was AAA LOCK only to come back AA FLOP and a special damage control discussion thread had to be made to contain the butt hurt, I'm going with AA to avoid that fiasco again.

I enjoyed GT5 when it launched but still couldn't ignore how much of a let down it was. The whole premium cars vs standard cars thing was stupid. Polyphony should have just focused on making the nice cars as best as they could and ditched the rest of those crappy cars that anyone with a part time job could afford and can barely hit 80mph. Apparently there have been some big updates for it but that ship has sailed and I have moved onto other games.

Probably 8.0-8.5 since the ideas in the game so far are a quite old ( open world with story...etc ) but production budget and Forza's signature physics will save it from becoming an average game.

So far from trailers and gameplay footage the game looks fun, a bit restricted for an open world racer but still it looks good fun , Im gonna try the demo and see if it's good enough for a purchase especially since the arcade racer king is coming too this year, plus this NFS is from Criterion.

Inorite? Just mentioning flop when the game massively flopped was too much to handle when expectations were so high. That's why I voted for AA. We need to let the past remain undisturbed so the healing cn continue.

They also decided "unlocking" damage modeling and crappy menus were a good idea.

People are talking about GT5 as if its a bad game or somethin... its ridiculous

I actually find stupid when I see someone saying "GT5 sucks, Forza is great" or vice versa when both games are so close when it comes to simulation

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97VigfIIHu0

^^^^^

This is a great NON-BIASED comparisson between both games and honestly, they are pretty close when it comes to gameplay

Again, anyone saying GT5 sucks while praising Forza 4 is just straight up fanboyism

I also really enjoyed GT5, gameplay was pretty much spot on but people just keep pointing out the car graphics consistency without even having giving it a go, its a shame really but oh well I'm sure Polyphony have acknowledged the problem and will fix it in the next one to shut these fake boys up.

I havent seen many lems hyping it to be honest. And forza would sell better with some advertising. One thing Sony got right with GT series it was advertising. I still remember all those creative commercials for GT3 and 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gJwpZDM_1Y

People are talking about GT5 as if its a bad game or somethin... its ridiculous

I actually find stupid when I see someone saying "GT5 sucks, Forza is great" or vice versa when both games are so close when it comes to simulation

^^^^^

This is a great NON-BIASED comparisson between both games and honestly, they are pretty close when it comes to gameplay

Again, anyone saying GT5 sucks while praising Forza 4 is just straight up fanboyism

thing is to be brutally honest GT5 is dated and a step back from its predecessor, it feels dated in terms of presentation, the sheer fact Poly bloated their car numbers by throwing in res'd up PS2 models and the protracted dev cycle which ended up hurting the game in the long run as its presentation felt like it was stuck in 2004.

Not to mention the fact they only admitted after launch they dun goofed up and started fixing the game after launch tbh shows poor management in the studio, aswell as the load times at launch being horrendous, an install that was honestly borderline ridiculous.

GT5 is easily one of the most dissapointing games i've ever played and i've played 1-4 to 100% completion along with FM3 to bout 60% and FM4 career to bout 20%.

As an entertainment product and game Forza's just got GT5 on the ropes and it can be further reinforced by the growing trend of Japanese/Western disparity when it comes to gameplay design and such.Poly's a relic and need to get rid of Kaz his perfectionism causes too many problems.

Forza may have scored higher on GS but I much prefer Gran Turismo. To me, it's the better game.

For realism it's better, but Forza is the better game. So it really depends what your looking for.

Actually, Forza's physics are more realistic than GT5's. Forza 4 has a better tire model, better suspension model, better mechanical damage and more that I'm not going to bother to mention.

I'm interested in it, more so than Forza 4, will wait for it to get cheap before getting it though.

Why do lems hype this game and not even buy it? gran turismo might not be as good, but atleast the game can sell.

I haven't played Forza 4 that much to tell the difference, but I remember 3 hadn't quite eclipsed GT5. I did hear that Forza 4's driving model had been improved quite a bit though.
