If there is a LoD bug it shocks me that it made it "in" after all these years of development, at least it can be patched if that is the case.

Forza 3 'premium' cars:
wait..wtf, isn't this Covette as detailed?
OMFG it's the same model as Forza 2!!
WTF has Turn-10 been doing all this time??
I had no idea that 1 and a half years was a long period of development time.
Jeez turn 10, you've barely managed to do in 1.5 years what took PD 5...
sarcasm is a funny thing on the internet.

let's just forget the much improved physics of the game, the insane visuals on the "new" content, the challenges, the new modes, the course maker...
Did you read what I just said? There are texture mods for Forza 3. The models themselves in GT5 for standard cars are fine, it just seems like the textures that are shit. No reason they couldn't be cleaned up and put back in... you just need to have a jailbroken PS3.iceatcs said:
PS. The comment about most people downplaying GT5 that aren't playing it are BS... majority of the people in this thread downplaying it are doing so based on first-hand experience.

This.
I've said before that I'll enjoy the game and will do so for months. The content is unbelievable. The menu/HUD etc are all perfectly functional give or take a few minor issues. The sound is great minus the car clash sound. Most importantly the driving model and physics are fucking awesome from what I've experienced. Oh and the smoke effects are making me cream.
The problem is - despite all of this, PD have left some major holes and technical issues in an otherwise fantastic package. It's unfortunate - but I find myself wondering while playing the game, what did they do for 6 years? Clearly the content is there - but given the 800 ported cars I really expected the game to have alot more (or at least be a technical masterpiece) given the resources and timeframe they were given. What could Turn 10 done with the same time?

So you think there's a difference between the GT4 upscaled cars in photomode to on track?
No, they did not. The standard cars are not incredible by this generations standards, but they are not PSX cars. They were ported from GT4, a PS2 game. The difference between the PSX and PS2 games was beyond enormous. The PSX cars were extremely simplistic.
Seriously? That Forza car looks just fine. The level of detail in the model is pretty high (much more than the GT4 cars used in GT5).
Both images are not possible within the game itself (while racing). Even if the geometry levels were the same, the image quality ruins the effect.

Took me around 40 minutes before I can play. Menus are fucking slow as hell. Makes me want to not click on menus unless it is absolutely necessary.
I was gonna install level data too but then I saw estimated time of 50 mins. :lol

Clearly you haven't played the game! I can't believe you're downplaying GT5 so muchStripper13 said:
Seriously, I fucking love this thread :lol I may lean more to one side than the other (and happy to admit that) but the glasses that some people wear when playing GT5 have a pretty deep rose-colour to them.

It's not the better game, neither game is better.
Shit is fucking crazy in here, but I just have to ask this question. I haven't played Forza 3 or GT5, but I want to play one of them. Played all of their predecessors and enjoyed them all. I have a hankering for one of these games. Which shall it be, you crazy mother fuckers????

Having played both I'd say each is a testament to the systems strengths.
For instance Forza 3 draws a ton of polygons, especially in the environments, and some sharp textures. Where GT5 lacks in polygonal detail in the tracks, makes up for with very nice lighting and impressive weather effects.
That's all that really needs to be said about the graphics. If I had to pick one as better looking, just like a side by side comparison, I'm going with Forza personally, but you could make an argument either way.
Also those non-premium cars on PS3 do not compare, at all, to even Forza 2 models. You can count the polygons on those damn cars :lol But it get's a pass because this game has a rediculous amount of cars.

hows the body roll and tire dynamics in Forza compared to GT5? watched replays of GT5 and was quite impressed by the subtle suspension bumps and tire tension when cars drive over uneven surfaces on the tracks....that and the body roll which conveys good sense of weight shifting when braking :yum:

Thanks. Didn't know it is a server problem. Signed out of PSN and everything is much better now.

Premium cars on "premium" tracks are a sight to behold.
The great difference - incredibly detailed cars aside (they're a slight minority of the package, after all) - is lighting. GT5 lighting is perfect.
But then you get to play on something like trial mountain and you wish it could look like Forza.
That's something anyone can see, even furious blind and raging fanboys.
GT5 achieves more, yet it ends up disappointing more in its shortcomings.
In an optimal scenario though, nothing really compares.

Forza 3 is cheaper, so there's that. And I've always preferred its driving model over GT's. Especially the way you feel the tires. It's better with just a pad as well. Most seem to agree that GT truly shines only with a proper wheel.

Not once while playing forza (or any racer that I can think of) did I say to myself - I wish there were more cars in this race.

Play both games. GT5 is the graphics king. No one will ever make that statement about Forza. Oh, it's a better driving experience too...
Ouch
F3:
If there is going to be a Forza 4, Turn-10 has their work cut out for them. I'll be honest, I don't think they can do it. They are no Polyphony Digital.
Baby Milo said:GT5 only has 17 or something reviews it just came out a few days ago
it hasn't had a chance to get its maxim or playboy reviews yet
Don't scores tend to go down with time, not up?
First reviews usually paint a brighter picture...same happens with movies usually. Take Rottentomatoes for example.

Forza 3 raised expectations for PD with GT, fan-boys raised that bar higher, now that GT has come out, and is comparatively on par with forza 3, it's being reviewed slightly worse, especially when factors such as development time are considered.
Fundamentally the games do 2 different things, and they do those things equally well. One has better community and customization, one has more content, one has a consistent overall finish, one suffers from higher highs but lower lows. Everything else is subjective.
I just watched the lens of truth video, and if I were to not look at the numbers at the bottom (I didn't, because I'm not that crazy anyways) and just base my decision on the videos alone, I'd pick GT5. That being said, I'm sure if I went out and bought Forza 3 I'd say it looks great and have a great time. After all, I'm not going to b playing it with a GT5 comparison video reel on a TV sitting next to it. Also, I can get it from Gamefly for like $15. And I like to do crazy shit (appearance) to my cars (I can do that in F3, right?).
