Forums - Microsoft - Forza 2 vs. Gran Turismo Screenshots

Way to screw around with my quote leo-j. I said GT does not look SUBSTANTIALLY better than FM2. And i'm right, it doesn't. GT looks very pretty, but it is not leaps and bounds ahead of FM2. If the PS3 was nearly as powerful as Sony says it is then GT, a first party game, would look far and away better than the Microsoft exclusive equivalent. But it's time to be honest with yourself leo. The PS3 is more powerful than the 360, but the difference is only marginal and massive amounts of the PS3's power are extremely difficult, if not impossible to harness for gaming purposes.

No shooter on the 360 looks nearly as good as killzone 2, but farcry 2.

No game looks as good as gran turismo 5, gameplay wise it IS leaps and bounds ahead of FM2.

Heavenly sword looks better than ANY action game on the xbox 360.

that is all I have to say...

The screenshots posted are too hard to see the difference that is clear in real person playing the game. Forza2 is a great sim, from what i heard it has a very indepth tuning aspect to the game along with other great sim features.

But there is one thing that puts the GT5 beyond Forza/PGR and that is the great car models used, GT5 uses cars models that are over twice the poly counts of the 360 games and thats a fact. The first person view is insanely better in GT5 then the other ones from videos i've seen on GameTrailers.

Forza is a great game it just can't compete with GT5 in the graphics.



Well seeing as gears of war has graphics almost as good as K2's and K2 is coming out 18 months later I'd say that supports my point that the PS3 has only a marginal power advantage.

FM2 was and still is praised for it's gameplay. As libellule said, common consensus is that Forza is a better simulator than GT (FM2's physics engine ran at 300fps).

As for HS, I'd say that both DMC4 and Too Human look better, but in any case, im not interested in purchasing an expensive system that has a "revolutionary" high capacity disc player to run a game that took Rocketpig 5 hours and 14 minutes to complete....

 And you know, for a fact, GT5 is leaps and bouds ahead of FM2 in gamplay because you have played both extensively?  Tell us how it is better, inquring minds would like to know.

 This coming from a guy who basically told us to ignore news from a site that comments too much on one system. Well you post mostly about the ps3, should we take your advise and ignore your comments?

 Those screenshots are not the highest quality, but I have to say they've gone a long way to create the closest comparison. I hate when games compare shots that are so remotely different from each other that it's apples to oranges.

 

Oh and about gt5 being leaps ahead of FM2's gameplay, first off have you played either game? second, even gt5 creators have said FM2 has way more gameplay options. So now who's biased?

==> GoW : 1 year after Xbox360 release using a wellknow engine UT3 engine.
KZ2 : 1.5 year after PS3 release with a completely new engine.

Whatever, I agree, for the moment, the visual difference is not very important between the 2 games.
We will see at the next KZ2 preview.
Same for the final GT5 version next year.



Time to Work !

Your over zealous fanboyism knows no bounds.  Your comment is completely baseless and devoid of any factual references...  You add nothing insightful or factual in 99% of your comments on this site.  You are only hear to promote idiotic fanboyism to its highest level.

The original post was to compare differences.  Even though they are not direct HD screenshots they do reveal some differences.  Some of which are in the detailing of shadows cast, marks on the pavement, detail of overpasses, etc. 

Please add something to the forums.  Do not constantly turn them into pathetic fanboy rants.  And that goes for everyone.

 



Wow....

I love these arguments, on the graphix comparision, from the little screens i thought the one on the right looked better, but when i enlarged them they both looked very nice.

I agree with leo-j that GT's graphics are better, but just because they are doesn't mean it has better gameplay.

I believe that the graphics are much better that Forza Motorsport 2. Like the test they have on one a website trying to find the difference between real life and the screenshot from GT5 is hard. I would go as far to say that GT5 looks "life like", kinda, sorta, almost, maybe, a little bit.
