So GT gets a new release every year?
Did you read my comment carefully? i mean in popularity and even sales :)
If it was not for GT, there would not be a forza, Grand turismo still have a special place in my heart, with that said Forza is greatly improving at a good rate while GT although improving the games take too long to get release and the company tries to aim for perfection which is bad.
Lets see...
GT1 - revolution for console racers
GT2 - more of the same but packed with content
GT3 - revolution in console graphics
GT4 - like GT3 but more content
GT5 - very good, content packed racer but failed a little to justify the extreme hype
Forza 1 - good alternative for GT4 but not quite up in terms of content and polish
Forza 2 - more like Forza 1 in HD
Forza 3 - what Forza 2 should have been
Forza 4 - yet to come out but looks like what Forza 3 should have been
GT wins on the whole, quite obviously.
nah, forza is still betterLets see...

I think Forza has a better upgrading system, but GT is better when it comes to the actual racing part of the game IMO. Plus the controls just feel more natural and realistic in GT for some reason...

If anything, Forza (all of them) is what GT should have been after 14 years of reiterating the same formula.
Which is more popular in the real world? Inexplicably, GT.
Which is actually better? Forza by a long shot.
I have always liked the GT games better.... But Forza 4 actually looks really good, and not just graphics, but the over all game.
If we go by scores then Forza is...Since its a AAA franchise where GT is AA.

Huh? PD releases one game that is under 90 on metacritic and now the GT franchise is considered AA? Not to mention GT5 sales are nearly double that of FM3.
As a franchise, there is no denying that GT is bigger. As for fun, well that is personal opinion. I'm kinda torn between the two.

By the System Wars metagame which uses just Gamespot scores, GT has only one AAA title (GT3). Forza is more consistently AAA, both here on GS and by all the aggregate sites.

Going by just the gamespot scores is like just going by one single persons opinion, as that is all a critic review is, an informed opinion. Metacritic is the only way to truly judge the ratings to compare GT and Forza. Sales are not really a good way to go by a games worth, but GT has sales going for it too, as well as critic score.
Off topic fw days ago I heard something about GT5 spec2 anyone knows anything about that?

In a couple weeks, PD will be releasing a large update called "Spec 2.0". Apparently it is supposed to be quite large as PD has been working on it for awhile. Kaz tweeted that more dlc will follow a week after spec 2.0

Good I thought PD is following Capcom foot steps with SF4 hyper super ultra editions :D.
On here, Forza will likely win the conversation, but sales and overall popularity go to GT. GT5 annihilated Forza 3 in sales. The GT5 prologue sales alone was at least even with Forza 2. GT doesn't need to put out a new game every 2 years. They make a killing off of every release. They have sold well over 40 million copies between the first four releases. Each of those releases have outsold the GT franchise to date except GT2 which is about even. There really is no contest here.-ArchAngeL-777-Well,that point you made makes me believe(not that anyone thinks otherwise lol) that GT5 only sold what it did on name alone,not because of the quality of the product,and that´s a bit sad to be honest.

It is sad that the GT series has a larger fanbase and they bought a game that has a very respectable 84 on metacritic?

The point is simple,GT5 isn´t as good as Forza 3 and most likely Forza 4,but it did outsold F3 and will probably outsell F4 as well. Why do you think it´s like that? If GT5,as it is(as in the exact same game)was released under the name of Forza or another name,it obviously wouldn´t have sold anywhere near as much as it did,so of course,the GT name has everything to do with it,not the overall quality of the product,wich is good,but not as good as Forza. I´m not trying to hate on GT,it´s one of the very few games that I went to the midnight release to get the collectors edition,but I´m not blind. ;)Please Log In to post.
