I think that Forza 3 is probably the best looking videogame ever made...Maybe GT5 can surpass it when it comes out, but if Forza 3 comes out first...why wait? Anyway, why talk about GT5 in a Forza 3 thread. Because, once again, I claim that GT5 has been the golden cow for PS3 owners for so long, that when MS puts out a game, just as good, or better looking, right before GT is release, it makes Sony fans....nervous, and they attempt to marginalize the MS game, and promote the Sony one. GT4 was mediocre anyway. Was it even AAA? What was the last AAA Gran Turismo game? 3?

 

We all know that Zenfoldor, it's just that mods don't give a crap about the issue and as a result its outright impossible to have a decent talk about the game. It's shameful really - a few months ago axe grinders and agenda pushers, no matter what flag they were waving would get warnings and bans. Now the forums are barely readable.

It's blows the communnity in here can't have any meaningful discussion without the barrage of extremely biased posters smearing every thread flinging shit like monkeys.

Wow. I'm not huge on these types of racing games but I am going to have to try out this and those games whose names shall not be spoken in this forum. Those screen shots are actually what sold me. I'm at least going to try the demo when it hits XBL

 

Be careful ^^ 

That demo in 2007 with the Mugello track sold me on the game ;)

Um, why the hell is there two threads on F3 screenshots? Can't you keep them in one thread?

Yeah, it's like this after E3, or after any big news. People know that they can push their own agenda and it will really get to other people who care so much about their own, that finally, after a year of dull grey hell, they can finally feel the fire once again.

Anyway, I wasn't trolling, or flaming. PC or not, that is what I believe the genuine reason is for this stuff. If Sony fans weren't so devout to GT5, and defensive of its dominance, people wouldn't be tempted to prod them, and they wouldn't be offended by the simple mention of a competing game of the same genre.

When people care about anything too much, they are really dangerous.

Now, I realize you might think that my post fed the fire, but that wasn't my intent. It was to give my true opinion, and it was far less insensative and non-sensical than most of the opinions in this thread, so if you were picking me out of the crowd, don't. I wasn't, and am not trolling. I'm serious, and I can back up my arguments, and I'm not trying to confront anyone, or incite anyone, and I accept their opinions just as they should accept mine.

BTW, looking at these sceenshots and criticizing them, imo, is pure bias. They look unbelievable for a current gen game.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Its Microsoft fans that start the arguments by having diggs at Gran Turismo in the first place. Look at previous threads by a few 360 fans.

There has been threads stating that PGR looked better than GT5P for christs sake. In the majority of Forza threads there is a clear message or insult to Gran Turismo in the OP. Phrases like 'no other racing game compares' or 'the best looking racer to date' etc etc etc. If you don't expect GT fans to respond then you are on crack, it is one of the most loved series in the world at the end of the day.

There are fanboys on both sides of the fence, so if you 360 owners want to talk about Forza and only Forza, then I suggest that you don't make reference to Gran Turismo at all. Most decent Sony fans shouldn't respond about anything Gran Turismo then, and you can just ignore the douches that do

Not criticising you at all!

I thought that "we all know" line wouldn't convey meaning properly but it's late =)

I found your post fine and just "complemented" it with some of my own, but it didn't work out too well T_T

And ofcourse you will get mauled by defensive fans if you slag GT. It's the exact same with any other major mainstream series.

Sure, but selnor isn't on the sony forum telling them to suck it since GT5 was basically a no show on the E3.

Neither is any of the 360 owners on this thread talking excited about an upcoming release they are interested about.

The surreal thing are the number of ps3-only owners on a forum where it's talked about a console they don't own and games they can't play since they don't own the system downplaying anything not sony branded.

You even had your own thread on the sony forum which was a basically a huge fuck you forza, gt rulez. Gloat there goddamn, we just want to talk about the game.

^ gt runs at 1280x1080 in game which is not 1080p

Wasn't someone trying to compare this to the psp game?

 

1080p definition from wiki.

 

1080p is the shorthand name for a category of HDTV video modes. The number "1080" represents 1,080 lines of vertical resolution (1080 horizontal scan lines),[1] while the letter p stands for progressive scan (meaning the image is not interlaced). 1080p can be referred to as full HD or full high definition to differentiate it from other HDTV video modes.[2] The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a horizontal resolution of 1920 pixels. This creates a frame resolution of 1920×1080, or 2,073,600 pixels in total. The frame rate in hertz can be either implied by the context or specified after the letter p (or i), such as 1080p30, meaning 30 Hz.[3

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080p
Are you doing this on purpose?

 

What do you mean?

If 1080p means exact 1920x1080, then is it 1080p for the future 21:9 TV that displays 2560 x 1080?

Like the wiki said, 1080p is a shorthand name for 1080 vertical lines.
People assume 1080p is 1920x1080 because of the common 16:9 ratio.

 

Still, the ITU standards (of which 1080p is a subset) are not defined by the generation but rather the output. According to the ITU, anything scaled to 1080p can and should be called 1080p. 

Thank you for proving my point. Source would be great.

GT5P is 1080p by definition.
