Your opinion not mine or many others.... i love both and i own both but your comparing GT5 PRO with a full retail forza 2....

Why dont we all just stop this and when both FULL games drop we can start it up again.... if i see another thread about which is better i will burn it......

Both games are good thats that....

"I realize that GT5:P is just a prologue so it isn't fair to compare all the extra stuff in Forza 2 like purchasing performance parts, painting, auctions, online features, and so on so I'll just leave it at that."

I clearly pointed that out, I thought, and was just speaking of simulation and graphics -- those areas where everyone likes to say one kills the other.  They don't.  Both are spectacular in those regards.

I'm sick of the threads as well, but my point is that most of the threads are from assholes that don't have a clue what they are comparing.

like i said in my first post its your opinion.. i think its a fact that PD used more polygons on GT5 pro cars then forza 2... if you had compared forza 3 then id say you are prolly right but forza 2 looks like crap right now... i own both you can look at my gamer tag for proof.

 

Forza2 single handedly got me into the sim racing genre. its pretty clear that i love sony but i was never a fan of their GT series into forza 2 dropped. AFter playing forza 2 i loked at one trailer of GT5 and i was floored. So i played both JUST as much (mab a litle less) then you have and all i have to say is both are good but after playing GT5 Pro im now HOOKED onthe GT series.. I have not seen forza 3 gamplay yet but if you compare forza 2 and GT5 Pros graphics GT wins by far...

By far?  GT5:5 car models are definitely better but trackside detail is quite poor.  If you look at the reflections from the environment on the hood of the cars in GT5:P, you can see that they are VERY low resolution.  Outside of the car models themselves, there isn't anything special about GT5:P's graphics.

Forza does NOT look like crap.  Are you playing on a high-def TV?  Perhaps there is something I'm missing because the car models are very next-gen in Forza 2 -- very, very far from crap.  As good as GT5:P?  Certainly not but let's be honest here...  It's not like PS2 vs. PS3 graphics, now is it?

i have a 1080p sony XBR 40 inch complete with DTS surrond sound.. my setup is great.

ALL i said is forza 2 a game thats more then 2 years old looks like crap to todays standards... motorstorm, GT5 pro, fuel, dirt, killzone 2 uncharted 2 are all games that prove this.. i dont think you have played forza 2 lately lol..

 

JUST because I say this does NOT mean i dont like it.. i love it but its BUT is has been out done over the years.... now forza 3 looks wonderful and proves that they can get MUCH more out of their engine on the xbox.

Actually, I'm playing both games right now... All the GT5 and Forza 3 hype had me needing a racing fix so I've gone back to playing both.

Again, I think crap is a bad way to describe the Forza 2 car models.  Are they as good as the most recent game releases?  No, but they are still very, very good, even by today's newer standards.  Also, I am only speaking about on-track gameplay.  GT5:P really wen't all out on the car stills.  Those are a thing of beauty but, alas, cannot be played.
