PS3 and 360 are equally powered.

You honestly think Gears 2 look better than MGS4? or better yet killzone 2? you sir has got some serious serious fanboyism that engine they use for gears is crap they look like lil plastic soldiers like seriously.....MGS4 running on HD equals on touched in terms of games released.....you have to be one of those 17 yr old fanboys that would stick with 360 no matter what even though they know in there heart that they are wrong

and now your saying Forza 3 is going to compete with GT5?? GT5 has been in development for a very very very long time topping killzone 2

 

 

Yeah, the UE3 engine has that nasty plastic shine all over everythig, it's the trademark... unfortunately because it's spread quite a bit there's many games out there looking like that. On top of it is intended to be a do-it-all multiplatform engine, so it is inherently less efficient than the custom made and platform specific engines games like MGS4 use.

About Forza 3... well, the most reasonable think to expect would be an upgrade to the existing engine. There was a rumor floating around some time ago that they basically released the Forza 1 engine adjusted and updated for the new tech with some plugs from Rare while working on a different engine that was to power Forza 3; I find this unlikely tho.
