To quote former GT racer Takeshi Tsuchiya:

"I think it really goes beyond what you expect from a game. I think it's probably the first racing game that a real life race driver like myself can actually win at ;) Only race drivers ever get the chance to drive a race car. This game is the only one that can give you a glimpse of the real world of the circuit as seen from the cockpit of a race car. I really want you to play this, so you can realize that it's pretty freaking tough being a race driver! ;) "

The GT kids still enjoying the arcade racing? :lol: Massive ownage, Forza 2 is going to be one of the best racing games to come out in a real loooong time. Stick to your arcade racing GT fans, Forza is way ahead.

Given that its competition is GTHD, a DEMO from the ps2's GT4, isn't this kind of a no-brainer??

Well you should be talking to your buddies, they think a tech demo is superior somehow, I'm just here standing up for a racing game that cows bash all the time.

Well I came back not too long ago, last time I was looking SW, a bunch of GT vs. Forza threads were up, why is it wrong to post about it now?

I'm confused. Since when does a 360 game doing well mean the TCHBO? A good game for the 360 means lemmings have a great game. PERIOD

Wouldn't that just mean the fanboy is owned? Why make a generalization, it's the sign of being overly defensive or fanboyish.

lol bro.  Cows are FANBOYS.  It's another name for Sony FANBOYS.  There are Sony fans, Sony supporters, and then there are Sony FANBOYS.  The fanboys are deemed Cows.  So he did not generalize.  Everyone that owns a PlayStation1/2/3 is not a Cow.  His statement is correct.

seriously GT series will never surpass Forza unless it starts to focus on more 'realistic' driving, i.e. a damage modelling system. i mean the driving feels right in GT, but having no damage really destroys any realism the franchise has had in the past, at least for me.

Because of the approximately 12 billion GT vs. Forza threads we had to deal with a couple of weeks ago, many which either called forza s*** or called GT more realistic, both of which are wrong.

I put it like this as I said in the other thread there is Pro PS3 and there are Cows, Pro Xbox "" lemmings, Pro Nintendo "" sheep...just my opinion as I said you can be pro one system but not anti gaming industry

I know, but the post wouldn't be the same without it. Besides, Onizuka seems to think DV is a pretty big fanboy, so it still works.

They overrated it by a large margin. GT4 was like an expansion pack for GT3.

wow comparing a ps2 game to a 360 game ? TCHBO INDEED :?

people werent comparing GTHD to forza 2 as a game, but the graphics, mainly the car models, which do look more realistic in GTHD and even non cows admit this.

Famitsu Weekly: 10/10/9/10 - 39.

So, does that mean GT4 scored better?

Don't get me wrong, Forza scoring high is a great thing, but doesn't this disprove what the topic creator was saying about Forza beating out GT?

If you quote Tsuchiya, why don't you go play Initial D, a game he helped produce, before thinking of quoting the Drift King.
