Worst.........LOADING............EVER!!!!!

Seriously, there are loads so long that I thought the game had locked up. 

My friend brought Forza 3 to me (fully installed with his HD and just switched) and I had GT5. We compared the loading times, Forza lost by a ..margain.

 

Ive installed it and took a look yesterday. 6.501 MB is installed (Roughly 6.5GB). The loading times are NOT long for me at all tbh.

 

On to your point,

@TC
The online is fucking amazing. Play it with friends and you will be addicted. Its easily one of the best online plays on the PS3 that I have experienced. So fucking fun!!

that is simply untrue.  loading times on GT5 are longer than Forza everywhere and in some cases much longer.

THAT is simply untrue. You gotta be shitting me? The Forza loading is awful compared to GT5! Counting both fully installed!

Here mate I Just googled to find something =

Cool guess thats the end of it.

Just wanted to add that you kinda' have to install it twice.

 

When you boot the game up, pick yes on install.

Then go to options and itll say Pre-install all lalala, install THAT too. (Not sure if they are both the same but what the hell, I did it XD).

 

I would NOT classify the loading times as "long" lol.

That wasn't even a good comparison compared to the one me and my friend did in my room. But you get the picture.

load times for GT5 are not restricted to starting a race... thats the point.  you face load times at every turn.

But this is nit picking...  doesnt really affect the gameplay of either.

Really? So you can't survive a 3-10 second loading screen when going through the menus in GT Life?..
Well fk me backwards LOL

(AND HE DOESNT EVEN INSTALL THE GAME)

 

Nit picking or not, the loading times while booting up the race is longer in Forza. Sure I can wait 5 seconds while booting up the dealerships

you are right... GT is faultless... its the second coming and will sell 28m by March.

Right on brother! *H5*

I was just talking about the load screens mate.

Loading time are better on GT5 than Forza 3 after install... all reviews said that.

Face it @kowenicki.

LOL

Now counting the days... Dec 7th.

I have both GT5 and Forza 3 and in general haven't noticed any long load times in GT5 (except the initial install). Forza 3 on average takes about 30 seconds give or take to load a race, so i'm not sure why that video shows Forza in such a bad light. I'd say in terms of loading they were about equal. I don't have a problem either with the interface in GT5 unlike many others who complain. The graphics are definitely tipped in GT5's favor in some of the races, but it definitely suffers in others. Some tracks look poor and its obvious the standard cars are not up to the high level of finish of the premium.  I don't think this takes away from the enjoyment of the game though. I still prefer the car handling in Forza 3 over GT5 as it seems to react as I expect a car would when you apply power and braking. This could all be down to the fact I am using a pad in both games, but thats just my impression of it. GT5 also suffers a bit in terms of sense of speed, but thats just the difference between a sim and the slightly arcade route which Forza 3 took.

Both games are excellent and provide many hours of enjoyment whichever console you have.
