Doesn't forza 2 include those racing line features? I don't know about Forza 1, but I know that Forza 2 definately has them.



Tease.

Because they never played Forza 2.

Seriously, anyone that would opt for slot car AI, no penalty for slamming into things at 100mph over Forza which simulates everything down to tire sidewall compression in corners, has performance altering damage models, and a huge online communoty of people many of whom actually want to race a clean race.

I onw GT 1-4, played them to completion and then some, and love them. But they don't hold a candle to Forza in terms of gameplay and community. I would actually say the gameplay in GT is closer to that of PGR4. GT is a great racing game series from a visual standpoint, Forza is in it's own league when it comes to gameplay.

We'll see what Polyphony can do for GT5. GT5:P was a sorry letdown of a demo. More slot car AI, idiots crashing off walls in races with no ill-effects, and the electronicly pitched engine (seriously Polyphony needs to start recording cars on a dyno) and tire noises are right out of GT1. Last time I heard a Z06 drive past me on the freeway it didn't sound like an electric razor.

I don't know how anyone can state it better than this. Maybe GT5 will change things but the GT series has been stuck in neutral. GT looks better graphically that Forza but everything else is in Forza's favor.

 



So this generation there is only one good racing simulator...



Hmmmm. Think you'll find fanboys say GT is better. Simulationists wont say either is an out an out sim. But out of F2 and GT4 ( 5 is not out to comapre ) F2 wins easily. F2's racing is better than even GT5P so far and the physics to. But where it excels is in customization. Not just talking about paint jobs. The amount of tech changes majorly outways GT. Downforce, suspension, tyres, gears etc etc. Also the telemetry you get back so you can shave that 100th of a second off your laptime is insane. Yes Forza is more hardcore. GT just has more cars. Well if you count 30 different Evo's as a good car list.

Comparing a game released in late 2004/early 2005 for the PS2 to a game realeased in mid 2007 for the X360 is a great comparison.  Try a little bit harder, and you'll find two games that are much better to compare.  I'll give you a hint, the games are from the same generation.

gt taught me how to take curves at speed. the way it has the brakes destabilize the car as it goes into the curve was a great learning tool. usually people go hell bent into a curve and brake through it. gt changed all that.

The only thing i disagree with is point number 5...I don't see how GT could actually teach you to race properly irl.

 

Well disagree all you want, you tend to be wrong alot.

 

kid went from playing GT to now persuing a legit racing career, from GT to a real life 350Z.

O really so i'm wrong for having an opinion? 

But hey if GT can teach you to race so can forza since they are pretty much the same game

And also their are plenty of games that destroy forza and GT for realism....

So since you so truly hearold GT as the end all of racing games but the only thing you really say is better about it is the way it handles, then why don't you play one of the racing sims on the pc that are more realistic??  eh smart one??

Hypothetically speaking, what would you do if Forza 3 destroys GT5 in every single possible way (I'm not saying it actually will) what would you do??

but wait i can answer that.  You would still hail GT to be the best racing sim in the universe....hell even if the next GT turned out to be an arcade racer you would still hail it as the end to be all racing game and say it is the most realistic....Doesn't matter if GT5 got 70's, you would still hail it at the best.

Play forza 2 and stop being so freakin biased because they are not THAT much different: and that is actually a fact that most sane logical people will say if they have trully played them both.

Bottom line is i don't care which one people prefer, thats their opinion and i'm ok with that...I don't care if YOU prefer GT over forza, but the people that say GT is leagues ahead of forza are just plain daft!!

Also i know your goina cherrypick the living fuck out of this post and reply something stupid like "WTF kid you think GT is goina get 70's?!?!"  cause thats what fanboys do..cherrypick one little thing from a post so they can be right in one tiny little aspect of the grand arguement.

Yup. 

Resistance 2 and Halo 3 aren't that much different either.  Why do people say Halo 3 is leagues ahead of Resistance?  You could do this all day. 


Gran Turismo is bar none the best console racing sim ever created.  The only things it has lacked as a series are on the verge of being added in GT5.  If all of these features make the final cut?   Forza can't compete at that level. Solid, Quality game?  Sure Forza fits that billing.  In the same class as a Gran Turismo?  Not a chance.

 



Haha! fanboys. A silly little creature that does not have the ability to reason, use common knowledge, or reality. These strange creature feed off of stupidity and ignorance, their waste is toxic and leaves a foul smell in any thread they pollute.

I would contend that the two games are very similar, the only real difference is the fact that they are exclusive to their consoles. This of course creates asinine fanboy wars.
