WOW, very impressive.. I tought before that FM4 maybe was rush (Feels like FM3 still is fresh and new) but im not the typical racing fan and buy every game in the genre.. But now its time to buy what looks like the best Racing game this gen (Maybe all time?) Demo hooked me.

These reviwers have clearly lost their marbles. Best sim and best graphics, they must be playing a different game then me. GT5 uses a higher res then forza and due to that the cars and tracks look more crisp and less blurry. The Forza cars still don't have the same amount of detail that GT5 does and the higher res makes this much more clear. The lighting during racing is flat and still not on the same level as GT5.

Forza even with all options on simulation still uses "driving assist". You can hit the gas to max during a full corner and your car will not spin out or lose control at all. Try doing that in GT5 and your car is spinning 100% of the time.

No weather or night racing in Forza either.  But the game from what i can tell runs more smoothly then GT5 and has no screen tearing during heavy scenes like GT5.

That is just plain wrong. You have never played a Forza game I see.

 

But anyways keep up the good work of entertaining me

WHOAH!! Holy Shit!

Nothing below a 9/10, and just look at IGN's review! A full grade above GT5.

And people thought this wouldn't be much of an improvement. I know Forza jumps in quality with every game, Forza 3 shocked me, and I'm going to be shocked again.

Hope this game sells over 5 million without bundles, maybe have it outsell GT5 in Americas.

You'll just give me the gamertag of your friend or someone like that. If you try to gun it around a turn in F4 with all the assists off you are straight up done and in the ditch/wall. The only way it doesn't completely freak out is if you have all the assists on or half the assists on and a really really nice handling car.

Great reviews! I'm glad there are still proper racing games being made besides Need for Speed and other shit.
I'll probably have to get this one!

Yea I have to agree with Yo_John, this is just plain BS.

I've put in over 150 hours into Forza 3 and GT5, and I've raced cars part time on track. I have yet to play Forza 4, but I'm excepting to get cornering a lot more right then GT5 and Forza 3.

In all honesty, my opinion is opposite of yours. In GT5, although weight distribution is felt better in the corners, with traction control set to min, and ABS set to 4, I can corner in most mid engine cars with my peddle on the gas and not spin out. In fact, when I watch most of my replays, I actually put the car in much more of a drift then a realize. I never get this in Forza. In Forza 3 my corners match what I do in the real world a lot more accuratly. You just don't feel the weight shift like you do in GT5.

So comparing Forza 3 to GT5, GT5 feels more accurate, but Forza 3 models car behaviour more accuratly.

I expect Forza 4 to trump both Forza 3's and GT5's better modeled aspects in every way. Graphics (inside and out or car, as well as environment), tire deformation, weight distribution, noise, car and track model accuracy, and everything.

After all Turn 10 has been using data in Forza 4 which dates back to 2005 (when they were developing Forza 2), and the core engine is the same. GT5 started with a brand new simulation engine just after GT5. So with Forza 4 taking more time to develop and Turn 10 being over twice the size of Polyphony, I find it hard to believe that Forza 4 isn't better then GT5 and Forza 3 in every possible measurable way.

Lowest score so far is 8.0 from Gamer.no

but they gave GT5 a 7.0, perhaps they dont like sims.

The meta score will remain above 9.0 comfortably I think.


Oh yeah, look at the op, a flood of 9.XX scores. This should settle around same as Forza 3, 92, very solid.

Ethomaz though this was gonna get 84

Wait, you're joking right?
