Forums - Gaming - Forza has not beaten any of gran turismo 5's core strengths

richardhutnik on 17 October 2011

If you dig deep enough, you can find anything you are looking for on the InternWebNets.... like Poughkeepsie, NY has an occupy movement, complete with camping out at a local park:

Ok, I want to find an article that shows how Gran Turismo beats Pole Position in NO areas that Pole Position excells at, thus, Gran Turismo hasn't beaten Pole Position.

 GT5 has one big advantage to Forza 4 though, it has 1080 lines of resolution, 1.5 times as many as Forza's 720. This makes a big difference for me. It is much easier to see the road and judge distances with the increased resolution. There is not a lot of competition at 1080p, I only know of ridge racer 7 and wipeout HD that also run in full HD. (Technically GT5 is not full HD, 1280x1080 but the vertical resolution is what counts to see the road in racing games)

This point can be the factor that makes the tracks in Forza looks wider?

Nah, Aspect ratio is the same on both. Nurburgring in Forza 3 was wider then in GT5. You can fit more cars next to each other in Forza.

Because GT5 isn't GT4, This gen isn't last gen, and lastly are you telling me that GT4's sales didn't rise up at all during the Christmas season? I find that extremely hard to believe.

Like GT5 is rising? No. And that's the second holiday season for GT5... GT4 was launched in March... so the first one... in the second GT4 not even entered in TOP40.

But I agree... GT5 isn't GT4 .

GT5 hasn't risen that much. And the rise right now and from a couple of weeks ago is obviously the special edition and the pricecut (which should be in this coming weeks sales right?)

Just look at what happened to Halo Reach when it had a couple of stores cut it's price....it wasn't even an official WW pricecut and it went up to 50-60k per week for a couple of weeks and stayed above 25k for many more. 

There is absolutely nothing surprising or unusual about this at all.

Actually, there is. It's a PS3 exclusive selling well.

I smell something burning.

you can't beat a king on your terms, in fact you can't even challenge a king on your terms, and in that respect Forza 4 has a LONG way to go before it can considered in the same league as GT5 let alone better

Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec Edition is no doubt the best racer ive ever played on a console hands down.I dont care what racer you compare to it wheter its Project Gotham racing,Codemasters,Forza.GT3 is the best racer ever.

Plus like you just said it will take more than Forza 4 to dethrone the king Gran Turismo.

Whenever I think of Forza I always think that Need for Speed is better.

Since GT5's core strength is the PS3 exclusive reality distortion field, I agree.

One day I hope to be inside you.

LOL forza cant even compete with GT5P without bundles.



Allfreedom99 on 18 October 2011

Both are excellent games each with minor advantages and disadvantages. both are geared for sim racing.

GT has been on the market longer and has more name recognition.

Forza while still less popular is still a great game and quality wise in the same league as GT just less popular currently.

I can play GT5 with my G27
I can not play Forza 3 or 4 with my G27

Problem solved :}
