just got the forza demo today... been driving around in my 300 hps WRX STi with all driving aids turned off (except ABS which i am going to assume is a feature of the real car) and manual transmission on laguna seca against 3 other cars.
it's a different kind of fun. it's like trying to tame reality by gambling with your courage. i took a while but i've finally learned how to get the all-wheel drive WRX to go into a four-wheel drift... this game requires more fingers doing more things on your controller, and a whooooole different skillset than all the arcade racers we've had as of late.

what?? wtf??
edit: ok, whatever. sarcasm wasn't working. i know all about forza's pedigree. thanks. i'm just saying i haven't played a pure sim since GT3. it's been years. and i'm slowly getting back into the realm of realism.

Okay--now THAT level of geometry detail is pretty damn impressive. not a hard corner to be found . . .
Where as they're all over the place on the yellow RX8. Also, what's the deal the NSX's rims? Flat up front. 3D up back. Also, someone needs to inform the developers that these cars have very round tire sidewalls; they're supposed to be low-profile -- NFS: Underground has that look down. Muscle cars look perfect, though.

Depends on your definition of low-profile. I'm not talking about super thin sidewalls. For instance, the tires on my car are already considered low-profile. Either way, the tires in those shots are too damn round looking.

NSX Type-R sure is a nice-looking car. I had a really pretty picture of that from the GT4 photo mode at E3.
My main beef with Forza (like I said in today's 1UP preview) is the wussy engine noise. Gran Turismo fucking kicks you in the ass with the engine sound, and so far Forza doesn't have that kinda impact. Bums me out, because it does a lot of other stuff really well.

Once the Apprentice finishes I'll point it all out. Even though I know you'll want to deny them all.

I'm not trying to start a flame here, but how does it compare to GT3/GT4? I still play GT3 to this day, and all I've read about the game is really impressive - it's got some features I wish ended up in the GT series (multiple choices for engine swaps, car damage, etc) and looks near as good as GT4*
*I don't want to turn this thread into a graphics arguement. graphics are important to me, but not as important as the gameplay. even if I feel the graphics aren't as good, they are way better than average and still look great*
So, gameplay-wise, how is it? It sounds like mad fun and I can forgive a few small graphical/sound details if it's a blast to play.
The rest of the game looks real nice, though I think GT4 still has teh edge.What Forza has on the GT games: online play, online community, and a better cosmetic customization system. The vinyl editor is pretty sick, you get up to 100 layers of vinyl on each general surface area (top, sides, wing, front, rear) and some really versatile controls for fucking with the basic set of design elements and putting together something unique.
What GT may have on Forza at this point: more tracks, possibly better-looking city tracks (haven't seen much besides race circuits in Forza, although it does a very nice Tsukuba and a very nice Laguna Seca), more cars, maybe better audio.
Push: controls. I like the feel of both games right now. Both have some very good car physics and very good track modeling. I haven't played enough of either Forza or GT4 to pass judgment either way.

Thanks for the info
I'll be watching on release day to see how it turns out
I can't get enough console racing sim games

The 108MB video of Leguna Seca is very impressive. It looks like it's running at 60fps, is this actually confirmed now?

Please note the arrow with the question mark, that little thing is nowhere to be found on the car.
Note the green not only are its edges too sharp, but the feature is exaggerated.
Look at the area circled around the door handle. The edge is a bit too sharp too, but the reason I highlighted it was because the edge doesn't flow back to the rear of the car. As soon as it gets to the rear quarter panel, the edge is gone and the car is flat.
As far as everything else, those are rough little edges (some not so little). The spoiler is razor sharp and razor thin. The hood has points; the car is supposed to have an egg-like hood. The two circle beneath the altezzas...some sort of weird lighting. The bumper isn't double-lined, so it has to be some weird lighting effect creating that sharp little extra line.

WarPig said:Yeah, it seems like they've got the wrong wheels and tires on a couple vehicles. Check out the rims on the real Mine's R34:

Nah, the rims look pretty much the same.
Musashi Wins!
FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
Those muscle cars are beautiful.
Yep.
Yep.
I love looking at these screenshots, but I still have a hard time getting excited about a driving sim. There is a labor of love involved in dedicating your time to a sim like this or GT4. Lots of trial and error just to shave off fractions of a second... it's just more game than I want to commit to.

Congratulations, you really deserve it!

Boy, the sense of speed has really gotten better in these new vids. And the online options sound bloody good.

I do believe you have just taken nitpicking to the next level.
The in-game model looks so fucking close to the real thing, it's ridiculous.

I actually wanted to say that I was nit-picking like a madman. And I was, no doubt. It's just I kinda' had to make my point in regards to my retort to m0dus.

Heh, I`m talking about cars spinning out and flipping during collisions ofcourse. In this regard it is much better than Gran Turismo where nothing happens when you crash into other cars.
And while the damage on the cars isn`t totally realistic it`s atleast better than nothing.
