Forums - Gaming - 'Bland' Gran Turismo, Forza graphics avoided by NFS: Shift 2

Mummelmann on 17 November 2010

GT5 and Forza look ghastly. And the gameplay is probably weak as well compared to the glory that is Need for Speed.

@above they're both racers they're fair comparisons. It would be close to saying you can't compare JRPG's and WRPG's because they're not the same.

there really is no end all.

I vastly prefer the wipeout HD Fury franchise and the Wipeout Franchise in general... way more than any of the ones listed (not necessarily the ones that have come out yet)

However... I am quite interested in the insane amount of detail that seems to be put into gt5 and the kart mode.

to each his own.

Kay. I think I'll stick with my bland graphics.


You can't go around posting pictures and gifs of real life cars and try to pass it off as GT5! :O

Anyway I think he's trying to say bland in the sense that Forza and GT go for looking like real life, real life is normal and that is the definition of bland, so maybe he's trying to say he wants more style and to go beyond normal.  But even if he is meaning that its a poor choice of words, though I don't think they have to do much to look better than Forza since the original Shift looks better than Forza 3 did.


Thanks for that, I needed a good laugh tonight.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

I'll stick with Mario Kart Wii graphics because that game/franchise is the most fun I have ever had in a racing game!

Horrible choice of words, but I think I understand what he's trying to say.


Ya I totally agree, but for some reason he doesn't know how to talk.

I enjoy NFS, Burnout, Even Mario Kart a little and find them fun. they just require less skill to play/drive. I found even Forza 3 a little on the easy side.

So people actually can tell the difference between 30FPS and 60FPS? You people must have super powers.

Yeah, human eye stops noticing shit like frames per second once it goes over 24FPS.

The Graphics sure look incedible for GT5 but I just find the gameply boring and repetitive

I prefer the gameplay of Midnight Club, Need for Speed and Burnout >>> GT5 & FORZA

 

... comments like thse make me lose hope in humanity.


Sorry but GT is not the end all be all. I'm glad you and many others think it is but I don't find driving around in a PT Cruiser for 4 hours trying to earn enough money to buy a Mustang, rinse and repeat for weeks till I can afford a fun car to drive an enjoyable experience. Thats not even mentioning wasting time earning licenses. I can say the same for Forza except minus the license part. Need for Speed and others like it are just a more gripping action experience. Unless someone is obsessed with cars then GT5 and Forza 3 just don't appeal as much.

LOL, you don't have to grind for weeks to get a fun car in GT. Just go to the used dealer and buy an old Integra or MX-5 with the money you start out with!

But yeah, if you're so unknowledgeable about cars that you'd buy a PT Cruiser and save up for a Mustang instead of something useful then it clearly isn't the game for you.
