It would be so funny if both games turn out to have amazing graphics but in fact are pretty boring games to play.

I would like to think it will be much more polished.

I'm pretty sure that's not CGI because GT5P was almost that good and it's more than a year old.

Remember that racing games are not as processor intensive as, say, an FPS because they only have one (or at most 3-4) possible routes in each track with ~20 relatively simplistic AI objects instead of having an entire interactive 'map' with dozens or hundreds of complex AI characters.

I don't know whether GT5 or Forza3 will be better (and I don't really care), but GT5 will kick butt in graphical quality.

I'm almost sure it is not cgi and for the most part except the mercedes when it was darker outside looked absolutly amazing. So now the question is when the hell do i get to play this dam game.
