After seeing the latest Forza2 pics, I can safely say Forza 2 doesn't stand ....

...a flying chance against GTHD...

GTHD looks so freaking realistic.
kornbone
????  look at the gthd backgrounds.  you should have compared forza2 to gt5,  gt5 will still lose but not by as much.  in forza games gameplay is the most important,  graphics are secondary.  that means , yes,  the primary function of gthd and gt5 will be less than a secondary function of forza 2.

In GTHD or GT5, does the shape of your car determine the handling, can anyone join into a worldchampionship, can you buy user created cars, are cars destructible etc.? No, so forza wins just like it did against GT4.

Yep,GT5 is gonna take massive big dumps on Forza2. GT4 on the inferior PS2 hardware blew Forza's graphics away,imagine what PD is going to pull of with the PS3.

well, if any of that were true, you might be right. truth is, they've promised damage, and they're actually the ones who came up with this whole user car market idea. we dont really know much about what will actually be there.

[QUOTE="kornbone"][QUOTE="HaloONE"][QUOTE="shaggymcp"]And GTHD looks way better in motion.

too bad it doesn't drive better in motion... Forza physics> GTHD



Forza physics are laughable at best.

While I like the GT series as much as the next guy, saying the Forza physics are laughable made you look like a complete fanboy tool.

GT is great, but Forza owns the hell out of GT when it comes to the actual racing aspect.

GTHD might look better, but so far Forza's devs seem to "get" realistic racing much more than the GT devs.

Just about any non-fanboy racing fan should agree.

I am no fanboy, and I race in real life, but I disagree with you that Forza has better driving physics than GT4.

GTHD is a demo and should never be compared to any full game. If Forza 2 didn't play better than GTHD, it would be incredibly sad. Of course its going to play better. We'll see what GT5 has in store. I believe GT5 will play better than Forza 2, just like GT4 plays better than Forza. I could be wrong though as it looks like they fixed the glaring issues Forza 1 had.

I don't get the whole damage thing. If its not totally realistic damage, then I could care less. You are not supposed to be crashing anyway. They are racing games, not demolision derby. If Forza wanted to tout damage, then it should be like  F1 for PS3 where if you crash once, your game is over. That is realistic. The damage in Forza is more so people can go " oh look, my bumper fell off, and its still there when I pass by again", or "thats so cool that my mirror is gone and my alignment is off". If you crash head on into a wall in Forza, you can still continue to race with only an alignment problem. You call that realistic? I'm sorry to say that GT5 will probably include this level of useless damage.

Either way Games like Ferrari 355 Challenge own both GT and Forza for realistic driving. Even that game is not like the real thing though, no game is or ever will be.

i like how you think. i contended this thru most of this thread. and the fact that you brought in 355 challenge lets me know that i really like how you think. ultimate sim and not very widely played.

No way.  GTHD is a DEMO. Forza 2 is a completely developed game. Only a complete and utter ignorant fanboy would think otherwise.

I'm a huge GT fan (fav being GT2) and when Forza was released it brought new competition to GT, coz as a console sim racer it is pretty much out there on its own. I thought Forza was a grand experience. Custom paint jobs (awesome) physics (great) ai (decent). In all I enjoyed it more than GT4 which I was quite surprised about being that its a new IP. I expect a lot from Forza 2 and it looks good so far. GTHD was nice but just a demo with no ai opponents (BIG DIFFERENCE)... If Forza has Tournaments and TV like being announced this could be great for gamers and car enthusists.

it's easier for Kaz to concentrate on static graphics when they don't have a fraction of the features Forza 2 does...

i'll still take the Forza2 for realism... ;)

Take F1 championship. An excellent Indy Racing game, shot down for their difficulty.kornbone
F1 has nothing to do with Indy, except for having one race there that runs on the infield. The cars and drivers are completely different. I'm not sure I put much weight on the opinion of someone who doesn't know the difference between IRL and F1.

[QUOTE="justforlotr2004"][QUOTE="whoisryanmack"][QUOTE="justforlotr2004"][QUOTE="kornbone"]...a flying chance against GTHD...

whoisryanmack


Forza has all brand named cars, 100% distruction, over 1000 layers of customization for just your paintjob (which you can sell in an online auction for game money), can totally redo the engine and everything inside the car to optimise the way you want your car to run, Has 30 tracks (I think thats what it is), the game runs at 60 FPS while the physics run at 360 FPS.

So if you dont get me now Ill explain, Forza 2 totally destroys GTHD in Gameplay and depth, so no you got it mixed up GT doesnt stand a flying chance against Forza 2. Hell Im not even a racing fan and Im impressed by the ammount of dedication (even spending large ammounts of money for the rights to each car) and detail they are putting in.

gt will have more cars, and it focuses on driving dynamics over racing simulation so tradiotionally the ai and damage are crap. i think that will change drastically for gt5, they know they can't survive on the current formula anymore.



tbh it doesnt matter if it has more cars because if they all just bump into eachother and do no damage and basicly all run the same besides one being faster than the other its pretty pointless.

of course, they've already said that the ai will be improved and damage will be included. and again, forza was a race sim and gt was a driving sim. gt was about lap times and driving skill, not winning races and/or crashing.



None of those two games is a sim. Maybe semi-sim and even that is questionable.

GTHD... a demo with one track and 10 cars... versus... a fully fledged game with what is it 45 tracks? 300 cars? And a physics engine that makes the first Forza cringe?

I was impressed with graphics in racing games back with GT3... that is why I bought a PS2... now I realize that I would rather play a racing game for the racing and not the graphics. That is why I am buying a 360 to play Forza 2 and not a PS3 to play GT5. GT5 is going to be exactly like GT, GT2, GT3 and GT4, except there will be Ferrari's, Lambo's, Porsche's and high quality graphics. It will be the same old gameplay rehashed from almost 10 years ago.

Buy car, race car, win race, get credits, buy another car, race another race, win more credits... rinse... repeat...

The developers of Forza 2 are at least trying to give us racing enthusiasts something new...

I think the 2 look quite similar. Any differentiation people care to point out is knit-picking. I hate driving games, and never play them, but it doesn't take a genius to know that given similar graphics, a driving game with rumble is going to play better than a similar game without. No rumble is so 1986.

Personally I think GTHD looks very underwhelming. I had a friend here who is a casual gamer, his first statement after seeing the ps3 and GTHD, was that he was dissapointed and expected alot more. I thought F1 and MS were much better looking.

Actually. You lose, since no one knows much of anything about GT5 and you are assuming that you do.

Yes because the developers told you themselves what they are doing with Gt5 or you already played it in the future... Can I borrow your time machine?

There is something called gameplay. If the Forza developers use lots of the systems power on things that effect gameplay like car damage or physics then it might beat GT. There is more to car games than shiny cars. Forza scored higher than GT4 because it got a 10 in gameplay while GT4 scored 8. GT4 got a 10 for graphics but gameplay is more important so Forza scored higher overall. The same thing could happen with Forza 2 vs GT5 but at this point who knows?

Forza physics are laughable at best.

While I like the GT series as much as the next guy, saying the Forza physics are laughable made you look like a complete fanboy tool.

GT is great, but Forza owns the hell out of GT when it comes to the actual racing aspect.

GTHD might look better, but so far Forza's devs seem to "get" realistic racing much more than the GT devs.

Just about any non-fanboy racing fan should agree.

i totally disagree. i think gt "gets" realism, while forza "gets" general accessability.

If you turn all the assists off, Forza is much more difficult and realistic than GT, Forza is just smart enough to make it easier for those who aren't looking for a huge challenge. 

GT has "bumper car" physics and the sliding on turns is often too aggressive, many racing fans point this out all the time.

GT is still a great series, I just don't see how any series racing fan could think it plays better than Forza. Seems like a fanboy statement IMHO.

Both are great games though.

i dont know, i just see alot more hardcore gt fans than i do forza fans. that only backs up my opinion that it is the more realistic driving sim. "bumper car" is usually used to refer to the lack of damage and bad ai, not driving dynamics. sliding is too agressive? i don't know what that means really, but real life cars do slide quite a bit when raced. being perfectly in control is somewhat rare.

come on man, how many systems did the PS2 sell compared to the original xbox, just by numbers alone you will have more people playing GT. and usually depending on the system you have, the majority of your friends will probably have the same system as you.

every one of my friends have a 360, only one of them wants a PS3 and another is thinking about it depending on an announcement about God of War 3, so when Forza and GT come out for their systems (360,PS3), obviously I'm going to see more Forza fans than GT fans.

I am no fanboy, and I race in real life, but I disagree with you that Forza has better driving physics than GT4.

GTHD is a demo and should never be compared to any full game. If Forza 2 didn't play better than GTHD, it would be incredibly sad. Of course its going to play better. We'll see what GT5 has in store. I believe GT5 will play better than Forza 2, just like GT4 plays better than Forza. I could be wrong though as it looks like they fixed the glaring issues Forza 1 had.

I don't get the whole damage thing. If its not totally realistic damage, then I could care less. You are not supposed to be crashing anyway. They are racing games, not demolision derby. If Forza wanted to tout damage, then it should be like  F1 for PS3 where if you crash once, your game is over. That is realistic. The damage in Forza is more so people can go " oh look, my bumper fell off, and its still there when I pass by again", or "thats so cool that my mirror is gone and my alignment is off". If you crash head on into a wall in Forza, you can still continue to race with only an alignment problem. You call that realistic? I'm sorry to say that GT5 will probably include this level of useless damage.

Either way Games like Ferrari 355 Challenge own both GT and Forza for realistic driving. Even that game is not like the real thing though, no game is or ever will be.

I thought there wasn't damage in GT because the car companies wouldn't let them do it. I swear I read that somewhere, could be wrong, If I a am, I'm sorry!

I don't get the whole damage thing. If its not totally realistic damage, then I could care less. You are not supposed to be crashing anyway. They are racing games, not demolision derby. If Forza wanted to tout damage, then it should be like  F1 for PS3 where if you crash once, your game is over. That is realistic. The damage in Forza is more so people can go " oh look, my bumper fell off, and its still there when I pass by again", or "thats so cool that my mirror is gone and my alignment is off". If you crash head on into a wall in Forza, you can still continue to race with only an alignment problem. You call that realistic? I'm sorry to say that GT5 will probably include this level of useless damage.

Either way Games like Ferrari 355 Challenge own both GT and Forza for realistic driving. Even that game is not like the real thing though, no game is or ever will be.

I thought there wasn't damage in GT because the car companies wouldn't let them do it. I swear I read that somewhere, could be wrong, If I a am, I'm sorry!

that was Kaz's excuse.... until Forza proved him to be a liar...;)

too bad it doesn't drive better in motion... Forza physics> GTHD



Forza physics are laughable at best.

While I like the GT series as much as the next guy, saying the Forza physics are laughable made you look like a complete fanboy tool.

GT is great, but Forza owns the hell out of GT when it comes to the actual racing aspect.

GTHD might look better, but so far Forza's devs seem to "get" realistic racing much more than the GT devs.

Just about any non-fanboy racing fan should agree.

I am no fanboy, and I race in real life, but I disagree with you that Forza has better driving physics than GT4.

GTHD is a demo and should never be compared to any full game. If Forza 2 didn't play better than GTHD, it would be incredibly sad. Of course its going to play better. We'll see what GT5 has in store.

yeah, but didn't microsoft have to pay money to be allowed to do it. not saying thats a bad thing, just wondering if thats what they had to do. pay the companies to be allowed to wreck their precious automobiles. if so, good for microsoft for going the extra mile.

If the gameplay sucks, then who cares about the number of cars?

...a flying chance against GTHD...

GTHD looks so freaking realistic.

Well, GTHD is a demo, GT5 will not release until 2008, Forza is on shelves May 15, as the song says, if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with.

Gameplay in gt is amazing, and how does damage in racing game make it better, and the last time i checked gt has more realistic game play, more tunning options, and better customization. gt is a professional racing game, they dont need to put all the colors,and paints for the cars.

To each own his. Motorstorm is easily one of the most fun racing games out there. Last time I checked, games were about FUN.
