Just like 50 Cent attacking Ja Rule, the Forza series is getting an amazing amount of recognition by attacking Gran Turismo. Any publicity is good publicity, huh?

 

 

LOL

 

 

@kn

 

Nice read. But don't expect fanboys to stop arguing. Even when professionnals will have thoroughly compared both finalized versions fanboy threads will keep on blossoming.

This.

Good attempt, though.  I like how you tried to use measurable facts instead of opinions, but fanboy goggles are about as bad as beer goggles.  And we all know what Yoda said about those . . .

Hmm that sounds funny because the game saves to the profile you loged in to.  So your telling me you use multiple accounts?  Every time you played the game it would be at a different spot.  Also, the accounts can transfer over you broken 360's.  It's not like they are tied to the machine.

Anyways, I'm just poking fun.  I happen to agree with what your saying.  On the Sim end, Forza has more options than Gran Tursimo.  Yet GT5P has way better graphics than Forza 2.  This has changed with Forza 3 as IMO it has better graphics than GT5P.  I can't comment on GT5 because all we have is a video that dosen't even show actual gameplay.

The really battle will be when both Forza 3 and GT5 have been released and we can extensivle compare the two games.

I know it sounds strange to play on multiple accounts, but, alas, I do.  I don't care in the slightest about achievements.

Basically, it all started after my first 360 broke (the one I played Forza 2 on the first time I think -- or maybe it was the second box -- I lost track).  Regardless, I wasn't using a live account and when I got back on with my new box, none of my XBLA games worked and none of my save games worked.  I got very irritated and started over.  I've done it a couple of times and didnt' spend the time hunting for how to fix the issue...  I had to replace my hard drive somewhere around the 2nd or 3rd machine and didn't bother to transfer anything so all my stuff with the exception of my actual live account were lost.

I wish I had picked a gamertag I liked (I hate the one I have) rather than just throw something up there as I would have been diligent about always using that account and would probably have about double my current achievement points (not that they would begin to compare to yours, lol).

"If you are a Sony fanboy and think that GT5:P somehow smokes Forza 2, move along. Go to the bank, take out a loan, and buy a clue. The Forza 2 demo is good. The game is GREAT. Better than GT5:P when all things are considered. When the FULL GT5 comes out, there is no doubt it will be an amazing game. But then so will Forza 3 so, again, just leave it alone."

Since when is your opinion fact?

When you don't offer your own to refute.

That's poor logic, I hope you don't mean that literally. If I say that the world is flat to a mute person, does that become a fact?

Or a less extreme example. Lets say we're talking about some unknown in the world (for back then, it's what the planet looks like), if you just decide to talk shit, and I don't (due to the lack of technology/knowledge of Calculus) does that mean the world magically becomes flat?

I had the same problem with my XBLA games.  It might be too late but try contacting Microsoft about that.  They gave me all my points from the games I had bought from before so that I could repurchase them.  Call 1-800-4MYXBOX its worth a try if you lost those games.

You get bonus point in my book for owning an Amiga.  Did you have the 500?

hmm, graphics aren't everything...unless you are a graphics whore, in which case you are not a real gamer. I just hooked up my xbox so I could play NFS Most Wanted, and although it looks like crap, it's still a blast! That having been said, I won't comment on Forza2 Vs GT5P, other than to say that the comparison as asinine.

Don't forget your helmet there, Master Chief!

Amiga 1000 first, but that was limited.  I got a 500 shortly thereafter, an Adram board to double the memory, and a hard drive via an interface board.  I got an Amiga 2000 about a year after that...  Hardware multitasking via the Motorola 680x0 processor was cool indeed.
