TheSeks said:OH GOD WHAT IS THIS I'M NOT VERY GOOD WITH THESE THREADS!
I'm of the opinion that Forza blew the fucking DOORS off GT since Forza 1 back on the Original X-box. For me, GT has a whole lot of catching up to do.
GT has:
Pretty cars
Simulation Mode with a map
Rallies
Online
Intergration with PS Home (most likely)
Cockpit view that was introduced in Prologue, therefore jumping Forza into doing it.
Forza has:
Online mode for career (earn online credits for auction house buying, or buying from dealer)
NO FUCKING LICENSE MODE!
Forza 1... for me... still has the best driving physics in any game with cars I've played.
Forza 1 has... REAL TIME CAR DAMAGE, something it took GT 5 games to do.
Forza has a user customizable deep layer photoshop style car customization look system. GT5 (AFAIK) will not have this system and you only have dealer colors/no bells and whistles to truly "OWN" your car.
Point to Point (Rally, whatever you want to call them, Sprint? I'll go with Sprint since NFS:Underground 2 called them that) races, which was fucking dropped from Forza 2 much to my shame.
They're about even in terms of cars and shit, but for me Forza edges out in terms of physics, dropping bullshit license tests, and simluation driving phsyics/car damage effecting the driving of that car.
I'm waiting for GT5 to try to impress me with driving physics/car damage, but the only reason I'm interested in GT5 over Forza is the Top Gear Test Track for my own "Star in a Resonable Priced Car" laps. (Something Forza fans were BEGGING Turn 10 to get, but apparently the BBC inked a deal with Polyphony?)
And that's my only post in this thread. Frankly, they're both ho-hum for me in things because they both don't have point-to-point and want us to race circuits. If I wanted to do that, I'd buy a damn Nascar game. :|
(Forza 1 had sprints that made the game feel like I was just joyriding a car, which was nice, it's too bad there wasn't a whole lot of them and Forza 2 dropped them.)
Point-to-point is returning in FM3 along with Fujimi Kaido in HD glory.

Off course I don't know more than JC, but fact is I would never buy a car from a review from Top Gear. Its a comic book show, not to be taken seriously. They did have experts years ago, such as Tif (ex formula 1) but he left to go to channel 5 with the other Top Gear guys.
And more importantly they know bugger all about Video games, be them car games or otherwise.
Who cares this thread is to clean up the gt5 & forza 3 threads & it's worked.Keikoku said:
I've just read this thread, Take it for what it is and cone back once & a while for a laugh or to use as a study of gaf members in the wild, it's like a crazy gaf social experiment.
Sad thing is this thread will probaby have more discussion than the other threads at the mo.
And with that I'm out, can't wait to actaully play both games and see what they feel like and how fun they are (which I'm sure both will be).
Hey guys it's quote time!
"Forza 3 delivers the thrills that our competition can't"
"Forza 3 is the best looking racing game on any console, and the biggest racing game of this generation"
“We're shipping the definitive racing game of this generation”
"So, props to Kazunori Yamauchi-san and the team. 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. 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."

Let's continue some of the ridiculous comparisons already made in this thread with this old goodie:

FM3 has point to point. Not sure about GT5.

Well your opinion was easy enough to discredit. Play some more racing sims buddy, you are missing out.

It'll really get messy once the Forza 3 demo hits in a day or so.The-Warning said:
Yeah, I had never hearld LE, and I quite like the track featured in the GT trailer. Will take a look at their work.eso76 said:
That said, the FM3 track was done by Alex Metric and is also awesome. London Elektricity is more drum and bass while Alex Metric is a bit more house and breaks.

How is that people listen to Top Gear for million dollar car reviews, but have to dismiss whatever negative they say about Forza 3 as bias ? Because the Top Gear Test Track is in one game and not the other ?

because every time i hear JC and co talking about games consoles they use the word "playstation" no matter what the console is. Much like most ppls parents etc

We've first causality of this thread.
Death Dealer said:
If a group associated with a track that only appeared in FM3 reviewed GT5 and made similar comments, what do you imagine the reaction from the other side of the fence would be?
Serious question. We can all try to be a little honest here.
And in all actuality the review is mostly pretty positive. Their comments about the "magic carpet," when taken in context, appear to describe how the feel about simulations in general. They just got done doing some laps don't forget.

they don't review games for a living? they have a vested interest in one doing well and no vested interest in the other?Death Dealer said:
shrug.

Find me another reputable, non-affiliated source that gives the same opinion as that Top Gear preview and I'll change my mind. As it stands, I don't trust any preview from an organisation that has very deep ties with it's competitor. Asking Top Gear to give an unbiased preview of FM2 is like asking Che to give an unbiased preview of GT5.
You should be a little more cynical when you look at impressions, previews and reviews on the net.
Yeah so what? People say that all the time when talking about gaming systems. Obama says Xbox in his speeches. Doesn't mean he hates or loves it. To say that they reviewed it just to talk shit is way out there. If you read the full review it explains it better that that excerpt that's quoted.Gaz Pwnage said:
