Forums - Microsoft - Forza 4 will be the most realistic racer on any console - Microsoft

Late 2011, well that's good.

I'll have enough time to play GT5 for most of 2011 and then at the end pick up Forza 4 and play until the next Forza or Gran Turismo comes out.

 

Oh and haters stop hating =p.

Wii 79/150 million

Xbox 360 47.7/73 Million

PS3 43.6/69 Million

First off... to even match gt5 they have to have the same amount of cars racing against eachother... thats what makes gt5 much more fun.

they are going to have to DOUBLE the amount of cars in the race to match gt5 (forza = 8, gt5 = 16).....aka double the amount of polygons/physics/computations/AI......then up it to 1080p......all while keeping 60 frames per second....

can the xbox even do that?

 

 

By the way.. peple are confused when microsoft says most realistic... they say that referring to the fact that you use kinect to feel like your really driving lollll...

Um....isn't Xbox360 more powerful than the PS3 in the first place?  I thought it was proven by this independent study done by IGN!!!

 

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/617/617951p1.html


well i remember research along those lines, but the end result was given to PS3. there was somthings that were more powerful on 360 then PS3 like the graphics chip/card.


I honestly think they're both comparable.  It's like comparing a PS2 with a NGC very close indeed.

Actually in overall performance, the Gamecube mopped the floor with the PS2. In raw power, the PS3 IS more powerful than the Xbox 360, by a lot, but it's weaknesses keep the 360 much closer in overall performance, making the overall differences smaller than the Gamecube and PS2s and relatively down to spec usage when judging software.


may i add that the ps3 doesnt have the power it was originally planned to have. when sony was forced to launched it in 2006 they had to scrap the initial plans, hence making it less powerful. so i expect us to be blown away next gen and all for a small price. that is if sony dont over do it.

Yeah, but originally planned doesn't count.  It's like saying I originally planned to be a doctor but became a sonographer instead.  Anyways, there is just wayyyy too many articles stating which of the 2 HD consoles is more powerful to make a solid judgement.  Lets just say X360 is a Ferrari, the PS3 is a Lambo, and the Wii is a WRX (a turbocharged version of the plain Impreza) and it really depends on the driver (software developer) what performance they get out of the car.  Honestly, I have not seen anything (including GoW:III which I think is overrated) on the PS3 that surpasses/blows away games on the X360...so yes I refuse to drink the KoolAide yet thank you!

It is what it is indeed.  A lot of my multi-console buds are dissapointed as well and it shows on  the degraded sales.  I'm sure fanboys will spin it but in the end it will end up selling considerably less than GT4 at a higher price tag to Sony!!!

I am shocked at how many people are oblivious to the fact that Forza 4 is not a Kinect exclusive. Just because Kinect is confirmed to be compatible does not mean it will be Kinect only. They are not idiots! They know that the majority of players would not play the game that way. It doesn`t hurt to have the option for those that wish to though.



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to KinectPS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.

That guy doesn`t even try to play it. Joyride was pretty enjoyable to play actually. That guy didn`t move once the entire race and the car never turned other than after hitting stuff. He fails so hard. Kinect will likely only work within certain modes on the game anyway. Not like it will be Kinect only or anything.

A flop isn't determined by its meta. Sales play a role as well, and its sales are far from a flop.

Now, was it unable to meet the hype of most reviewers? You could say that. But a "FLOP"? Far from one.

And in fact, 84 isn't downright terrible either, even with the criteria you mentioned.

Just don't bother, in the minds of people like this, anybody who disagrees = automatic fanboy. There's just no room for logical discussion, and his history shows this.
