Forza Motorsport 3 vs Gran Turismo 5 Prologue comparison

super smooth Prologue wins

With the Forza 3 demo out today, we thought it would be interesting to see how it compared to the most recent HD offering from the Gran Turismo franchise, GT5: Prologue.

In order to make the test as fair as possible, we’ve used two cars which feature in both Prologue and the Forza 3 demo, the Mitsubishi Evo X and the Audi R8. And yes, we know Forza 3 has a slightly different version of the R8 to Prologue – they’re still similar enough.

And the results speak for themselves. Forza 3 clearly manages to pack in much more trackside detail than Prologue can; but Prologue is much more polished, and hence, more pleasing to the eye.

The colours are much more subtle, and the shading and lighting gives Prologue’s cars a smoother and more realistic appearance. Even the driver modelling and animation is better in Prologue – even though this doesn’t quite come through in the shots.

What’s also clear when seeing both in motion is how much smoother Prologue is. Everything is Forza 3 is much more jagged than Prologue, to the point where some shimmering can be noticed in the 360 game.

Obviously, Forza 3 makes up for this somewhat by packing in much more detail. But then, Polyphony’s had two years to tinker with its game engine – so don’t be surprised if GT5’s courses are crammed with trackside detail when it’s released.

i fully expect gt5 full release to have better trackside detail, cars in gt5p look better than forza 3 cars even though apparantly forza 3 cars have more polygons.

cars in gt5 full game will be photo realistic

i cant wait to try forza 3 demo and see the difference from last years gt5p.
