Your opinion cannot be trusted at all on this matter...and if I was to name all the other people in this thread that can't be trusted this post would be absolutely huge.
Booh at the end of the day will you admit they are both admirable racing sims that both look really good graphically?

No he won't. That's why he is a troll.
You can't call yourself unbiased if you ignore the traits of Forza, and overhighlight the traits of GT5.
In every picture you or anyone else has shown, in the OP video, Forza 4 looks better then GT5. However the difference isn't huge, but people who haven't played Forza 4 or who don't even own or have access to a 360 have no trouble finding any flaws in Forza 4.
The fact is, Forza 4 is king for now, but the difference between Forza 4 and GT5 isn't huge. The same thing happened last fall, GT5 is a better sim and has better graphics then Forza 3, but again the difference isn't huge. Forza 3 was the only big major jump in quality (from Forza 2), and well the increments between Forza 2, PGR3, and GT4 prior were much smaller.
Anyway who cares, everyone who has played both games (and isn't making assumptions on Forza 4 based on Forza 3) has already agreed to the above. The fact that this arguement continues shows that trolls can't accept it and look for pathetic arguements like licence plate covers being missing.

Heck I'll even admit that I am biased towards Forza (because I'm biased towards the 360 and because Forza has always been my main sim game), but not anywhere near enough to bash the competition like many feel they have to do. It just erks me that people feel the need to do that, seriously just grow up.

I am probably a bit biased towards Forza as a game, but I'm not sure. I have reasons for prefering Forza 3/4 (as games, not sim quality) over GT5. For one you aren't forced to tune your cars to win races, and you get to race in almost any car you like. However GT does have licencing which helps new comers learn how to race. As a veteran I also am annoyed at how easily Turn 10 give out cars in Forza 3/4, and how the game is oriented at racing specifically fast cars, but not medium or low end models (many races have no upper performance limit). At the same time, I am annoyed at GT5 specifically for basically abandoning Rally in their games (used to be a much bigger centerfold). Also licencing is a joke now that I'm actually good.
So as a game, both have flaws, but I'll admit I do prefer Forza as a game. It has more fun aspects in the game. Online is better designed, you can race almost any car you like, without grinding or repeating races for $$$, and there is more car culture in the game (Top Gear is a lot more integrated into Forza 4 then GT5). However am I biased for thinking this? Forza 3 and 4 have a metascore above 9/10, and many trustable websites gave Forza 4 a score of 9.5/10. GT5 got an 8.5/10 in IGN (GT gave it a 9/10, and I do trust GT reviews much more) and it's metascore is below 85/100. So I do like Forza games (as games) better then GT5 (specifically GT5, older GT's were much much better), but judging from reviews, most people do too.
As a SIM, I don't think I'm biased. Next gen I will be getting both a PS4 and Next-Box, with get a fan-tec multiconsole steering wheel with clutch and gearbox, and a recardo chair to race in, with surround sound. I pursue the most authentic sim as I do want to race cars in the future as a hobby, and a more realistic sim is better practice. So I have no trouble disagreeing with the majority when I feel the situation is just. I don't think I'm biased in the sim aspect.
I mean, just look at some GT5-Forza 4 comparision videos. In Forza 4 you really have to struggle to keep a powerful mid engined car in line. In GT5 you only struggle when accelerating from a turn, never going into it, and never during the turn.
