Hey I have realsied the difference between GT lovers and Forza lovers. GT lovers care for game content, whereas Forza lovers care for simulation content. I'll explain. While your average GT fan will spout of the fact they have more than 400 cars. Or the fact that they have 1 or 2 tracks where you can use WRC cars, or a couple of ovals where you can drive Nascar. Your Forza fan will tell you how tyre deformation enhances the realism, or how intricately tuning your car will shave 1/10th of a second off your time. GT = Casual sim Forza = hardcore sim. While in GT you get 35 different versions of Skyline, you have never been able to fine tune the cars to any degree near Forza. Forza lets you choose an aero package for instance with variable downforce. You can make a slight change to the the downforce once on the car and test it to see the affect around a particular track. Change it some more and away you go again. This is simulation at it's peak. Forza may only have say 15 Skylines, but I guarantee on the auction room there will be more than 100 different types of Skyline. Different power, different balance, different paint jobs, different everything. You can change every part of the car on Forza just like real life car enthusiasts do. Find any thread to do with Forza vs GT and you will see what I mean. You will read the following: GT Fan " Forza only 8 cars, Forza only 400 + cars, no WRC, no Nascar." Forza fan " Cant wait for the new tyre deformation system, rollover system looks good. Awesome website after website says Forza 3 physics are up there with PC racing sims. Data taken from Mclaren F1 teams actual simulator." Forza may seem on the surface to have less cars. But in actual fact by the time the game has been out for 3 months there will likely be 2000+ cars. GT has always had 40 versions of Evo, 40 versions of Imprezza, 40 versions of Skyline. Need I go on? Forza has always had less like 10 Skyline, but provides the player with a wealth of modifications and tuning that gives each line of car much more variety than GT ever gets with it's car list.

Says the guy who doesn't know the features of GT5 along with the rest of the public.
GT5 will more than likely have things such as tire deformation etc etc, with the introduction of F1 and Nascar thats almost a given that you will need to get tire changes etc etc while racing.
All in all they will be quite similar games with quite similar features, and more than likely the thing that WILL put GT5 over the top, to make a key difference between the two racers, wont be features, wont be graphics but more than likely will be the fact that GT5 will have more content.
Sure, all of my argument is based on speculation, but than again so is yours because you do not know all the the little things Polyphony Digital has in store for us GT fans, IMO we should all just shut up and wait for both games to be released to pass our judge, considering the nature of gaming fans that wont happen but hey, one can wish.
