| Skeeuk said: when i had forza 2 at the same time as gt5p. i tried both with same car and same track with the same viepoint 1st person view. the difference was more staggering than i thought. the handling was better, the uncompressed audio really sounded like your carving your car around a corner, and i wont mention grafix coz thats not the point here. gt5 will be a massive game, forza is good and some ppl like forza better especially gamespot. gt5 handles better, forza seems to float round corners mabey due to the fact that it has poor sound. and doesnt seem real whilst playing. but one thing i give forza on the handling, is the 3rd person view handles far better than gt 3rd person. i dunno why this is, since gt1 the 3rd person view is rubbish and seems on rails. forza 3rd person feels more natural and more controlable.

Uncompressed audio as a selling point is just absolutely ridiculous. With 99.99% certainty you do not, and simply can not, hear any difference between uncompressed and properly compressed audio using the speakers/headphones you have with your gaming set up. 7.1 soundtrack is wasted on close to 100% of gamers, and even the ones who have 5.1 systems usually buy the cheap packages which are, from a sound quality point of view, atrocious. If GT5 has better soundging audio than Forza 2, it has nothing to do with uncompressed audio, it's simply a result of a better audio engine and better recording / post-production of the audio.
