Before I start I'd just like to say that I loved Forza 2 and that Forza 3 is going to be great. I'd also like to say that Turn 10 and Microsoft have brought this on themselves with their big mouths. You can't go making ridiculous claims without having substance to back it up. I'l do a simple list to show how from a standpoint of features, Forza aint the one that's 'definitive.'
GT5 VS FORZA 3
More Cars vs Less Cars Forza3 1mln polygons per car in Forza 3 vs 200k polygons per car in GT5 and how do you know how many car GT5 will have? not to mention if you we all know that PD is duplicating all their cars many times over and over and over with different paintjobs. Forza 3 have 400 ORIGINAL cars how many ORIGINAL cars GT5 will have?More than 400 anyway
More Tracks vs Less Tracks how do you know that there will be more tracks in GT5? Forza 3 will have 100 tracks on day one.GT has always had more tracks, this will be no different.
1080p vs 720p real 720p in Forza 3 vs fake 1080p in GT5Watever, fact is that it has a higher resolution.
60fps vs 60fps
World Rally vs No Rally 24h Le Mans VS No 24h Le Mans I can just race round the Le Mans circuit in GT5 in an unlimited race or time trial. Also, Forza 3 will have a 24 hour Le Mans race all in daylight, so that isn't exactly great.
Weather System vs No Weather System was it confirmed by PD? no. Im nearly sure it was confirmed, I'l have to check. Many GT games have had this before though, so this seems a cert.
Night Racing vs No night racing was it confirmed by PD? no.See above, and PD are hardly going to show night racing in that in-game trailer if its not in the game.....
Top Gear Test Track vs No Top Gear Test Track (This is important to some UK folks) ugh again, you want me to list all the tracks that won't be in GT5 and will be in Forza 3? You're obviously not a top gear fan then. This means alot.
Nascar (although prolly only 16 cars) vs No Nascar again, 24h Le Mans VS No 24h Le MansUsing the same lame point twice is fail.
Can be used with alot of steering wheels vs Can be used with a few steering wheels what kind of argument is this?A major and valid one. Forza has terrible steering wheel support compared to GT.
16 cars on track vs 8 cars on track ugh, 8 cars with rollover with awesome AI and with the best physics you can get on the consoles vs 16 cars with bad AI and psx physicsOk, GT5p AI was pretty poor but it's new physics engine worked a gem and they will be improved fot GT5. So, 16 is better.....obviously.
Little car exterior customization vs Full exterior customization still no confirmation by PDIts confirmed that you can change the colour of your car in GT5, and that is a form of exterior customization. There will be more too.
Almost CGI graphics (the trailer was 'real') vs Amazing graphics again have you seen GT5 gameplay? noThe trailer was in-game replays, so you know what to expect.
No/Little tyre deformation vs Tyre deformation which means it's not a racing sim http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ap1nna2xibYSays who? Youtube? Lol
Probably little damage vs Full Damage and Car rolls
..........Doesn't look all that 'definitive' to me.
And, then people who think they are experts will say...'but Forza handles more realistically, it feels like a real car' etc etc. Although personally I fell like Forza is more 'arcadey' I rekon it does a very good job of this, but it's not as if Gran Turismo isn't the real deal.
Here's a video you should watch showing how realistic GT5 is. It's a video from Prologue but it does a good demonstration of how accurate things are in GT. This carries through to all cars, not just the F1 car. I hope Turn 10 have learnt their lesson.
