Well first off I'd like to see a source for this supposed claim as I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to say that GT5P looks better than Forza 3.

Second, if they did say that they are simply wrong.

Microsoft has three tracks on show, all originals, all set in a vertiginous, rocky and green alpine setting. A road circuit, a test circuit and a Formula One-style track, they are relatively fast and sweeping with some interesting bumps and camber changes - and pretty, too: lush, crisp, colourful and brightly lit, just like the cars, which sport full damage-modelling (cosmetic, simulation or intermediate) and can even roll. Forza 3 looks a little less clinical that its predecessor - but still quite clinical, and despite Turn 10's confidence that it has the best-looking racing game in the world on its hands, it can't quite match GT5 Prologue's near-photorealism, GRID's bustling track drama or Need For Speed Shift's thrilling in-car view.

Thanks for the link, kanariya.

Now I still have to say that is simply wrong. Forza 3's cars would be what I call "near-photorealism" with GT5:P quite a ways behind.

==> well, depend if u refer to the screenshots given by Turn10 or to the hand-on of "independant" (at least a bit) journalist ...

How would journalists obtain good screen shots for a comparison? The best they could do is take a picture of a picture.... Unless you mean the screenshots from a few of the gaming sites which we have also covered and they all look about the same..... Excellent!

because you think they base their comparaison on sc ?

I would rather think they base their comparaison on .... in game engine comparaison !!!!!!!!

this is my point .

hahah funny guy, well i like gt better than forza so im not complaining :P

He doesnt need screenshots when he can play the demo..

I misunderstood what he meant.  I thought he was talking about independent journalists obtaining screenshots to compare with the screenshots released by Turn 10.

As to actual hands-on gameplay footage, Forza 3 still looks better than GT5:P
