The only thing holding Forza back from being the perfect game is Drag Racing...

I'm glad Forza 3 included it but it was all wrong...the tires didnt stick or anything, so most FWD or RWD cars had awful times even if they had EVERYTHING done to them. The best time I ran (best tires, suspension etc) with my 600hp 350z was a 12.8 LOL.

It's also lacking F1, GP2 and I've not seen any Rally.. if it had that, then it'd be perfect.

I'm glad it doesn't have all that. it's one of the reasons GT5 took too long to develop and was a mess at launch. Too much crap. The reason Forza does such a great job is that they tend to focus on a specific style of racing rather than trying to cram a bunch of stuff in the game for bulletpoints on the box.

I think that the lack of F1 is disapointing,at least to me. Not even one car? :cry:

But then again,I´m a F1 fanboy. :P

I agree with others. Forza 3 was a better game. How could Forza 4 go backwards?

Personally, I don't give a crap about Rally, but I wish there was F1 :(

I haven't seen any, so I'm inclined to believe it's also missing NASCAR, but that's wonderful thing :D

Yea it really sucks using a 750 hp car that achieves 200+ mph where you need a Restrictor plate to stop from flying off the track.

The problem with F1 is that it just isn't as popular here as it is abroad therefore I doubt you'd ever see it in a Forza game. As for Nascar, I'm glad Turn 10 is a bit more focused on a few types of racing rather than wasting time on things like Nascar and Go karts (which did turn out to be a lot of fun, but ultimately kind of a let down.)

I'll be surprised if it isn't better.

Obviously, it's got the visuals, and it'll probably have the content. The main clincher for me is whether the driving model is as good as GT5's. Forza 3 was better in most ways than GT5, but I preferred GT5's driving model which is the most important part to me. Perhaps Forza 4 can improve on that.

It's amazing FM3 was better than GT5 even with GT5 having the best driving model / physics

Thanks for YOUR opinion. Do note it isn't fact.

Good products tend to appeal to wider audiences.

No need to downplay them by calling them half done.

Recycling 800+ cars, and even some tracks, sounds pretty half done to me. I was personally pretty depressed when I first started up gt5 and went to laguna seca, I felt a massive amount of regret.

Forza 3 IS better than GT5 so that should answer your question. Turn 10 have set the bar as far as racing games on consoles go, anything Polyphony does must at the very least match up to Turn 10's standard or its an automatic fail. So far there has been no answer to the great franchise that is Forza.

Deevoshun

Forza 3's physics are nearly on GT5's level. So what are you really trying to imply?

It is not even going to be a close race. GT5 is a flawed game that focused too much on the trees and not enough on the forest. Forza 4 is going to great car porn/eye candy but it is also going to a lot more fun to play.

GT5 isn't even the competition, FM3 is. GT5 was pretty lame to be honest, most cars aren't even premium. (Why wouldn't Veyron be premium?)MrGrimFandango

Nice way to look at that issue, However another way to look at it, Is why didn't Forza 3 ship with some of the cars GT5 came with?

The 07 GTR etc?

Umm...of course it was my opinion. Do I need to write "IMO" after everything that I say? :?

And, I'm sorry, but considering that Nascar didn't support the full 30+ car fields, was only really featured in one or two events and that special "training school" thing, and rally was given similar treatment, I don't see how you could see it as anything but half assed. But whatever, if you believe they were fully realized, more power to you.

To me, Forza 3 is the more complete and more fully realized racing experience. It may not include things like Nascar or Rally but what it does, it does well.

Why doesn't GT have as many Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Mercedes-Benzes and Aston Martins as Forza 3?

Hell, why doesn't GT5 have any Porsche vehicles while Forza 3 has about 30 of them?

Forza 4 having better car models? would love to see that. Running 1080p and now 16 cars on track.

There are things Forza 3 out did GT5 on

More consistent frame rate, Less tearing etc etc

But its sad when people go Forza 3 Blew GT5 out of the water.

Not sure if GT5 should add Porsches to the game with out the license.

You missed the point. GT5 came with 1000+ cars. Forza 3 with about 500

Forza 3 lacked cars GT5 had.

MrGrimFandango came in about GT5 not have the Veyron as premium, So I am countering that Forza 3 came lacking cars GT5 had.

The point is that his argument work both ways. So he shouldn't focus on GT not having car X but Forza ha it.

800+ PS2 era (gt4) cars, it's really just over 200 cars, and Most of them are Skylines, infact EVERY Skyline to ever exist is in the game. And VW Camper Van thing is a premium, yet the Veyron is standard. it's a joke. Not to mention Laguna Seca being also just lifted out of GT4.

It may have better physics, and had a much bigger budget, but it's the inferior game, by a wide margine.

GT5 didn't set the bar nor the standard for it to be the "one to beat"

Anyone who isn't an extreme fanboy would find the end result of GT5 a disappointment among it's prolonged development time.

At the end of the day all of that extra content didn't make GT 5 a better game. And I wasn't trying to reverse anything.I actually enjoyed GT5, but the lack of focus with all of the extra stuff did more harm than good. Overall, I have a lot of respect for the game.

Only thing I'd like to see in Forza is more options for wheel support. But Forza4 is looking great. A step ahead of GT5 in my opinion, but makes sense since it will have been a year. Also Turn10 seems to have been progressing faster than Polyphony.

Wheel support is the one issue that I've had with Forza. and it's a pretty big issue. Hell just release a goddamn adapter.

I was implying more on the idiocy of the management behind GT5. With 1000 cars you only made 200 of them worth a damn? In 3 or 4 years of development time? That game screams of mediocrity, from management straight down to the design. Instead of premium a Veyron, you make premium Go-Karts? Such a joke.

Inconsistancy

Correction, It DOES have better physics
The laptimes inGT5 and Real life are closer for that very reason.

That to me and any REAL driving nut that makes or breaks the the better game argument.

My brother was telling me once of how they were talking about Forza 3 vs GT5 when playing over PSN.

Someone was mentioning a few things of what Forza 3 did better than GT5. But what they kept telling him was hey, that has nothing to do with the driving part of they game so they don't care about it. All that Auction house, The cool paint jobs, all the cross game chat etc doesn't make Forza 3's driving experience better any day of the week than what GT5 offers

Hence, GT5 wins in my book. I am not surprized anyone that picked Forza 3 didn't dare speak about physics or Driving experience seeing they didn't want their beloved Forza shown is a not so good light.

I do however guess I am in the wrong thread, TC never asked which of the two a better driving Simulator.........

That's not my fault. Turn 10 got the license just fine. Given Polyphony Digital's reputation in the auto industry, I don't see why they couldn't either.

GT5 contained 800+ cars that were simply ported over from PS2 versions of the game with little or no enhancements...I'm sure you've seen the pictures of how bad some of those standard cars can be so I'm not going to bother posting them here again.

Forza arguably has more of the "dream cars" that people lust after. GT5 has more Civics, Skylines and Lancer Evolutions and...of course, the illustrious Daihatsu Midget.

Sure, Forza and GT have cars that the other series lacks but overall, Forza 3's car lineup is superior. At least in my opinion.

MrGrimFandango

I was implying more on the idiocy of the management behind GT5. With 1000 cars you only made 200 of them worth a damn? In 3 or 4 years of development time? That game screams of mediocrity, from management straight down to the design. Instead of premium a Veyron, you make premium Go-Karts? Such a joke.

So all they did in 4 or so years was making premium cars? What about F1, Rally, Nascar and Go Karts?

Getting 16 cars on track vs 8 etc. Getting sounds and photography for different cars and tracks?

It takes alot to make a car premium. To expect all 1000 cars premium is too much

800+ PS2 era (gt4) cars, it's really just over 200 cars, and Most of them are Skylines, infact EVERY Skyline to ever exist is in the game. And VW Camper Van thing is a premium, yet the Veyron is standard. it's a joke. Not to mention Laguna Seca being also just lifted out of GT4.

It may have better physics, and had a much bigger budget, but it's the inferior game, by a wide margine.

Blinblingthing

Correction, It DOES have better physics
The laptimes inGT5 and Real life are closer for that very reason.

That to me and any REAL driving nut that makes or breaks the the better game argument.

My brother was telling me once of how they were talking about Forza 3 vs GT5 when playing over PSN.

Someone was mentioning a few things of what Forza 3 did better than GT5. But what they kept telling him was hey, that has nothing to do with the driving part of they game so they don't care about it. All that Auction house, The cool paint jobs, all the cross game chat etc doesn't make Forza 3's driving experience better any day of the week than what GT5 offers

Hence, GT5 wins in my book. I am not surprized anyone that picked Forza 3 didn't dare speak about physics or Driving experience seeing they didn't want their beloved Forza shown is a not so good light.

I do however guess I am in the wrong thread, TC never asked which of the two a better driving Simulator.........

Oh here we go with this again. :roll:

The comparison that I know you're referencing was not, is not and cannot be an objective comparison of the two game's physics, period.

The physics of the two games are so close together that it really can (and does) go either way. Parading around in Forza threads as if GT5's physics are factually superior is wrong as there is no objective proof to back up your statement.

funny how whenever people compare GT5 and Forza 3 to real lap times they always use Premium cars in GT5.....

Not sure if GT5 should add Porsches to the game with out the license.

You missed the point. GT5 came with 1000+ cars. Forza 3 with about 500

Forza 3 lacked cars GT5 had.

MrGrimFandango came in about GT5 not have the Veyron as premium, So I am countering that Forza 3 came lacking cars GT5 had.

The point is that his argument work both ways. So he shouldn't focus on GT not having car X but Forza ha it.

Your Opinion.

I for one would want a GTR. and if I had to Chose Would take a GTR 2012 over a an Italia 458 any day.

The Ferrari is a Great car and would be one of my dream cars, But I prefer a GTR. Even if you looked at money spent on a GTR and on a any one of the ferrerari model you'll see people prefer GTRs.

But hey that's apples and oranges. my nose vs your nose. Both different.

I prefer what GT brings more.

Is there something you know that you'd like to share? Or are you guessing praying and hoping there is some chance Forza 3's times are more accurate?

I do know that I did promise a comparison of the Two, I'll make a video NOW and put it on youtube

Skyline GTR R34 on Tsukuba

We'll compare to what time the car actually did on Best motoring.

Fantastic, I'm happy that you prefer GT5 but I have both and I prefer Forza 3. I have the GTR Spec-V in Forza 3. I'm quite pleased with that, as well as my Carerra GT, 599XX, Ferrari FXX, 911 GT2, Gallardo Superleggera.

Anyway, back on topic, I can't wait for Forza 4...it's gonna take the bar set by Forza 3 and push it even higher! :D

the epic latdown that was gt5 could really be fixed if they released a bunch of DLC. But it does not seem like they are going to do that/ SO gt5 will continue to be a letdown. Think im gonna play burnout instead, cause it doesnt feel like a 50% finished game.

Reading and Comprehension:

"It may have better physics, and had a much bigger budget, but it's the inferior game" =/= "It may or may not have better..."

It may have *** ,=AND it had ***, what it is.
What it has--------------------------..what it is.

"SSDs May Have Flash But Western Digital Bets 4.3B on Disks" (headline from a random google search) An example of 'May' not = 'May or may not'.

There's no need for correction.

I don't even own a 360, thanks for implying that I was defending it out of fanboyism and owning it, it's the suprerior game. Game =/= sim, GT5 is a superior SIM, an INFERIOR game.

I find it funny that they stopped by the Forza booth at E3 the year before last and still weren't able to copy quite enough to dethrone Forza 3. :) Guess he really will need to take more notes this time around.
