It scales the more you play the game and level up as well as the higher events have much better AI than at the start.The AI at the beginning is pretty bad going slow on corners, sticking to a line. Later on though, I've experienced cars defending the inside line as I try to overtake, battling and jostling for position etc. It's definately much improved.

You do realise that GT5 does have damage at later stages. It uses a global damage model for the standard cars but utlises individual damage models for the 200 premium cars. Forza 3 didn't have individual damage models for the cars.

GT5 AI sounds a lot like you just describe Forza 3 AI. Both has flaws just like all AI. One thing harder to do in GT5 is to throw the AI into a wall ,off the track, etc.If you try to cut them off they will pit you. Also going three wide into a corner usually ends in a wreck.

GT5 IS A BEAUTIFUL BEAST!!

I've the both games and what i can say is that fora 3 has no tearing and the cenarios and so on look a lot better on forza3 GT5 looks to much empty and pasted things not 3d models.

Im not seeing it

you realize this is a 4 month old thread?

I heard that Polyphony originally wanted to use 7 of the 8 SPUs on the PS3, but for some reason no developer uses 7 of the SPUs, only 6. i think is could be linked to the long load times of GT5 and possibily the performance of the game.

Well said.

Before this debate actually gets anywhere, Forza 4 will be out in October with 16 cars and image photo lighting model ingame.

Now the Forza 4 vs GT5 comparison will be epic.
