forza 3 has only 8 cars on track , no weather effects and comes in 2 discs, how is this better than gt5?
i also only have the arcade 360 and finding an hdd in south africa is tough these days.

Really this is not the second coming. I wont be buying forza thats for sure. I’ll buy Need for speed shift and gran turismo 5

i totally agree with you regarding forza2, i was disappointed by it, but 3 does seem look the business and worthwhile buy imo.
pd wanted damage in gt, but due to licensing they couldn’t.. or so they say, who knows.

its a pity both games are exclusives, because i reckon they would produce better games if the competition was more direct.

LOL. I don’t even play Forza2….

What FPS does the damage detection use in GT5 P?

If PD goes the Sony, Mii2 route and add damage modeling to GT5, good for them, but … Forza’s been doing it since the 1st xbox.

FYI, I’m more of a Burnout Racer than a Sim racer, but Kudo’s to where it is due.

Forza 1 was a better game to me than Gt4, technically.

I do not like Forza2, but they did a lot of things right with it and it looks like Forza3 is just taking it further, and that is good.

Without Forza, GT would never have considered damage modeling to their cars… so we all win.

Who cares at how much fps the thing runs. Facts still stand, Forza is the best racer to come out so far this generation…

I find it a bit funny seeing PD going to turn 10’s booth to make notes about Forza 3… Kinda insulting, PD only wanted to make a close enough driving simulator.. And ended up in delay after delay… AFTER DELAY

you totally missing the point big guy! but if it makes you feel better being bigoted fanboy, then i suppose the point wont make any difference to you i’m just happy there are two quality racing games coming my way.

fyi

Forza 2 = running at 60fps, with 300+fps physics calculations …. Nuff said.

The reason I bought my XBox 360 was because of games like Forza and PGR.

what are you basing this on? no one knows what gt5 is going to be like, and saying you’ve played gt5p means nothing seeing as its very basic.
plus comparing forza2 with gt4 again is not exactly a fair reflection.

before bashing either game, i would say its best to wait till both are out. then people can start making educated opinions instead of wild speculation and assumption.

I’ve not been a GT fan since I’ve played Forza, I honestly think GT needs a lot to catch up to Forza now. Yes GT might look prettier, but that is it. Forza offers a more realistic racing feeling, also giving a good balance so not to scare of non petrol heads. GT on the other hand feels like Need for Speed circa 1994, so called simulation but not really. I used to love GT but it always got to me about bouncing off other cars, cars handling like bricks where as in real life they handled differently. I’ll standby Forza now more then GT.
