GT5 runs a 1080 60fps.
have more cars and the level of detail to each car track and car it's insane.

Its not out yet...And who's to say that forza 3 won't have that?

I honestly don't know how so many people can say that GT is leagues ahead of forza?  It doesn't make sense.  If your a fan of racing simulators than you should like both, because they basically offer the same thing...one has prettier graphics and one has a few more options.  

So how can anyone in their right mind say that GT is so so much better than forza and that forza just won't do for the GT fanboys.

 

Have you ever 1) driven a car before or 2) driven a car at its limits before?

I don't see what this has to do with anyting but yes and yes

 

If you don't see what it has to do with anything, then you probably haven't.  When I say driven a car at its limits, I mean drive it like you were racing it.  I don't mean doing 30 miles an hour over the speed limit; I don't mean racing your friend at a stop light.  I mean either actually taking it to a track, or driving it so that you heel-toe break as you enter a turn, your tires are squeeling around every corner, and you're constantly right on the edge of losing it.

 

Well if thats what you mean by the limit then no i haven't.  But tell me WTF this has to do with this topic?!?!?!?!

 

Because Forza and GT are both simulators simulating something you've NEVER done.  You're just like the guys who talk crap about Madden when they've never played football.  When it comes to simulating the racing experience, GT does it better than anyone else.  That is the reason you hear people say what they do.  While you may find Forza more enjoyable, that's more an indication of your preferences in terms of arcade vs. simulation than the quality of either game.

 

Um they are both racing sims...sorry to break it to you but they both play the same not a big enough difference to scream one is leagues better than both...

I never said forza was better...i just wanted to know why GT fanboys insist that GT is so freakin better than forza?

Also if you are truly going for realism, GT just won't do...racing sims on the PC are more realistic.   And have you heard of Race Pro??  that game got mostly meh ratings simply because it was so realistic that it isn't accessible to most people.

Lastly I'm goina guess that you and all the other people that hearold GT as the most realistic Racing sim ever have never actually raced in real life either....

 

I have raced before, actually. ;)

And, as I said, the reason people say GT is superior is because it is, objectively, more realistic than Forza, and thus a better simulator.  Whether that makes it a better game or not depends on what you want in a game.  Why do we need to bring PC sims into this.  They're in a whole other league entirely.  They frequently involve investing money into a quality wheel/pedal system (no analog keyboards...), and those can cost several hundred dollars.  It's not a fair comparison.

well forza 2 its 720p 30fps.

GT5 It not out too either but prologue already is 1080p 60fps.

Why do people say GT is leagues ahead of Forza?

Because they never played Forza.
Kids who grew with Playstations are now teenagers who cannot see others things.
Brand blindness.

GT5p also came out a year after forza 2.  A lot changes in that amount of time as far as game development capabilities.  If you are talking about Forza 3, a game that isn't out yet, can you really compare a feature of it's outdated predecessor as proof the next one won't?  That is fairly illogical, especially since most 360 games that come out now run at 60fps.

Yeah but those do not really affect gameplay and don't make one so much better than the other...

because i can't suppose forza 3 will run a 1080p 60fps either. as now only GT5 prologue does.

and forza 3 its not even announced i made  my comparison against forza 2 because it's the one released.

and have nothing on GT 5

Now, now... Most Xbox 360 games run at 1280/720 @ 30fps. Also GT5P runs 1080P only in its vertical resolution, when talking about that game one should talk about it as a 1280/1080 game. Saying it runs HD implies 1920/1080 which is misleading.

 



Tease.
