So I'm assuming people are actually reading the analysis for quotes since I didn't pick any out? If so, excellent. I got people on the internet to read.

We're looking for the dirt so we can throw it at GT5.. but there are so many pages... like 3!!

huthuthuhtut..

Much of this sounds like an excuse for a developer who is too lazy to go the extra mile. Hasn't Microsoft been caught before for offering swag to Digital Foundry in order to get more favorable analysisses?


wait, is this at all serious?

or is it you , just being you.

this doesnt sound at all legitimate

It's been 18 hours, the trolls haven't taken the bait, this thread has failed to get its hits!



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

let's get this ball rolling "while Forza's performance level is wholly consistent at 60FPS, GT5 can drop frames and tear"

*sigh* bait taken (although a tongue in cheek)

biased testing setups, old version of GT5 used, the Cell Will Rise Again etc. etc.

all joking aside though, I can't recall any screen tearing when I play(ed) GT5, probably in part due to my magical rose tinted spectacles and Super Amazing Tear-Free™ setup i assume.

F4 looks the shit, but I'll have to wait till I get to my buddy's place in a few months to play it. from the screens it does look pretty similar to F3 (which is also good) but I'm eagarly waiting to sample it irl.

mmm tasty quote "On these courses at least, there's a pretty strong argument that Forza has considerably more track detail" are you sure you don't want a bite? How about a nibble? A nibble won't hurt your image ; )

ah fanboys don't we love em? "there is still a great deal of cross-over with Gran Turismo 5 - allowing us to put together this fun comparison of the new game up against the newly patched spec 2.0 version of Polyphony's title" You play the fanbuy well, even taking the time to include flat out lies ; ) only the most dedicted fanboys do that, you play the part well, ever thought of becoming an actor?

When GT5 first came out it had screen tearing all over the place, almost every time you turned a corner - it was terrible... that may have been sorted out now,  I havent played the game in a while.

It hasn't. Neither has the distortion from particle effects like smoke/rain. I just played it yesterday for 5 hours. Almost at lvl 20 A-spec!!!


hmmm... i have yet to notice any screen tearing when i play (well actually i have, but not lately, and its usually not very noticable).

but i have definitely noticed the distortion you speak of with the smoke (not so much the rian). especially when i brake, and reverse in 3rd person view., lots of jaggies

You wanna see some fanboy skills? I call your bet and raise you this:

"The overall impression we get from playing both games back-to-back is that... Polyphony... remains second to none."

Third last paragraph of the article. It's written clear as day (or night... or rain... or snow... or dirt).

 

Oh that quote is taken out of context. When referrin to GT5 being number 1, they purely and only refferred to types of driving and usable headlights. 

Forza 4 WON head to ead tecnical capabilities. Much less screen tear than GT5 2.0. No framerate drop against alot of framerate drop in GT5 2.0. And to finish it off they categorically call out GT5 2.0's lack off track detail inn comparison. 

Visually Forza 4 clearly won the head to  head. Its quite obvious in their side by side video to. 

Pretty much the gameplay stuff is personal opinion. But the actual ech part of DF clearl has Forza 4 coming out on top. To be honest after playing it for the last 20 odd hours it was easy to see. Alot of the timee te damn thing looks real. The ligting phenominal.

The best technical achievement Ive seen this gen. Not only does it do 60fps like Rage but has amazing lighting and huge amounts of detail. Its definately my number 1 show off HDTV game.

The only time DF realy mention Forza 4 in any sort of technical bad light is onl a suggestion or Guess. They say because theres no day and night, it  couuld suggest that the environments have baked lighting. And the emperative word being suggest. They do not make tat a fact. Its almost like they are trying hard to give GT5 something in the tecnical department.

My TV has never displayed a game so beautiful. And I'm loving it.
