GT5 defense force out in numbers. Lol.

If people remove their blinkers they will see a much improved car model, much more realistic and detailed textures for grass and track and the same for the scenery.



You are actually the first person to mention GT5 here dude, why would you do that? Everyone was talking about F3 and F4, only Richard REMOTELY pointed to GT5 and that was weak at best...you jumped the gun big time.

I think we all know why he mentioned GT5 and provoked and argument.

I am tempted to regret ever posting my original post in here, which DID hint at the whole partisans console war angle to Forza vs GT5, that happened awhile ago.  For me, it is tired to see the driving games used as ammo in console wars.  Forza 3 did get run through the hypefest by XBox partisans to blunt GT5, after GT5 side did go off the deep end saying how awesome it was GOING TO BE, and so on, and then the end report was disappointment over it.  At this point, I have defended GT5 to some degree, in that I wish people would STOP holding out as some sort of graphics powerhouse.  And, as far as driving games go, I own GT5 AND Forza 4 and also the latest Project Gotham Racing.

And now, the cycle continues, with how the latest Forza is supposed to blow away the last. Sheesh...

Hardly a difference Forza 3 did look better in some parts and Forza 4 looked better in some parts. Overall I'd still give it to Forza 3. Anyways I wasted $60 thinking Forza 3 would be almost as good as a GT game it only turned out to be one of the worst racing games ever.

Sorry, I should explain: Just because I called you up doesn't mean I'm blaming you for anything.

Without ever playing F3, I'm gonna disagree with you on that.

There is a positive difference indeed, I wouldn't say massive but it is very good step forward. The problem is this video, it's not all that good for comparison. The video Selnor posted in his previous thread were much better. I'd say you can find improvements in every departments. Mostly in the enviroment detal and in self-shadows, the car model also got better even thought those were already great in FM3.

These were the video posted by Selnor previously.

In this video you can seen the car model improvements

Ehh, who cares about the car modeling improvements.  The game has Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear doing the in-game narrative giving the back story to the cars!

I didn't think you were.  I was just using that as a chance to explain why I did post the original message, and note I said "tempted to regret" so I don't regret posting it, just was maybe a bit tempted to post.

The thing I see in the whole bringing up Forza and so on, is that it isn't just for the game, but the fact that it is a first-party console exclusive, raves about the latest iteration is an indirect shot in the console wars.  I see this taking shots caused GT5 to end up suffering also in the end, due to the hype it had to live up to.

A very good game (one of my favourite 360 titles) getting a better looking sequel who would have thought?
and Selnor on the hype train surely the sky is going to fall , Still kudos to Selnor you have to admire his attitude.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

Agreed! It's always sad when you see people hyping up game X not because they think it's actually good but because it's an exclusive.

"What game is this?"

"It's called 'Watch the Bouncing ball."

"Okay, what do you have to do?"

"Just watch the ball bounce."

"And?"

"That's it...you watch the ball bounce..."

"Right..."

"Did I mention it's an exclusive to this console?"

"GASP* Best game ever!"
