You are free to believe whomever you want to believe, I'm just telling you the official version, confirmed by the studio's community manager.
This silly bickering and 'pic' comparison is ridiculous. Competition is a good thing.
Let's compare lead developers of both studios. Maybe it'll help us understand the goal of each series.
This is entire thread is filled with pathetic fanboy bickering. Let's get down to what's real.

If I were you man I'd change my allegiance because, face it, no matter how much you may want them, Yamauchi's never going to let you have his babies; whereas with that beard, there's always the possibility that Greenawalt just might....

It's interesting...I like Forza 3, it's a great game. It is certainly more consistent visually than GT5. However, I see GT snaring me for a greater amount of time. The career set-up hasn't changed an awful lot, yet it still feels more open than Forza's, and in spite of the ugliness of many of the standard cars, there's so much collecting to be done.
Moving on, there's the handling, which simply feels just 'right' - more so than any other realistic driving / racing game you'll find on console - and the visuals which, in spite of the moments of ugliness ultimately look considerably more realistic than Forza's bright, exaggerated colour and lighting scheme. GT's visuals at their best, all wonderfully organic lighting, realistic hues and impeccably constructed dashboards, are apology enough for the last-gen elements you'll experience during your time with the game.
Ultimately, they're both great games. I suspect GT5 will end up consuming considerably more of my time than did Forza, but really...there's masses of fun to be had in both. Forget about the reviews consensus being a few meaningless percentage points higher for one or the other (I believe a Killzone 2 - Halo Reach comparison has already been made) and simply enjoy whichever you access to / prefer.

Yeah the AI cars just and only use the default regulr car model, they still take damage do they can't really go any lower without more work involved by turn 10.shinnn said:
Saying that though, I would love to see the AI cars drop another level in detail while racing, why? so we can have more ten 8 fucking cars in a racing game in 2011... One thing I personally love about gt5 is that some tracks allow 16 car races, all premiums, mmmm.
Only so much nurb fun you can have with 8 cars, track is too large to keep the pack together most of the time.

Explains Forza Kinect

Rewind

Look at that cockpit. PD is behind times. All the money and time put into GT5 yet Forza Kinect is going to have 400 cockpits of this quality, 16 cars on track(with no framedrops or tearing), weather effects, 1080p, night racing, WRC, Nascar, kart racing a course editor, AND rewind with the same inferior driving experience.

The crazy continues while happy people are playing the best racing game of all time!
Btw, what are the big differences in tuning/customization I keep hearing about (aside from livery editor and maybe engine/brake swapping which I don't consider big)? It's been some time since I played Forza and don't remember big differences. Tuning options in GT5 are well above GT4.
