GT5 vs. Forza 3 ingame comparison

LukaX23 - 90 days 22 hours ago

Lol - you guys are comparing a full game (Forza 3) to a demo (Gran Turismo 5). As a true fan of racing games, I'd have to say Gran Turismo beats Forza on every level. If you're a true racing fan, GT is the way to go. If you like a little more arcadey stuff, Forza 3 is for you.

Gran Turismo gets 1-up because the developers don't act like jackasses.

According to Yamauchi the game is finished and there just adding extras and debugging for now.

From those screens Forza 3 has better textures but GT5 has better car models. However both games will probably get bland and boring after the first 2 days.

I didn't know there was a GT5 demo out. I mean I just downloaded something but when I play it it says "GRAN TOURISMO TIME TRIAL CHALLENGE" I didn't see demo anywhere. Looks like some people are getting scared of a little 200mb time trial and comparing it to a full 2 DISK game.

Don't make me laugh.

Sony has already said that GT Academy is NOT A DEMO of GT5, but rather a showcase of the new physics engine + contest. Polyphony actually stripped out and compressed all of the good graphics and polygon counts for accessibility. Considering that the entire demo is a whole 220MB, comparing Forza 3 graphics to a gimped time trial...

Now that's funny.

As absurd as this comparison is, I expected some foolish site who didn't do their research to do it.

This comparison is stupid for the exact reasons #1.5 gave. This is the GT Academy Time Trial Challenge. This demo is by no means the latest build. I can tell cos prologue had better graphics in some parts. You only need to look at the gamescom GT5 build to tell you this time trial is an old build. Saying that, the car model still blew me away. Looks fantastic. But I really need to get myself a steering wheel for this game. Im just not getting good enough times

For those who keep repeating "It's not a demo its a time trial only" you are wrong. Load it up and you will find the splash screen which says that it in fact is if you can be bothered.

But anyways I am extremely impressed with the interior visuals, having played Forza 3 for the past few months I can say that in terms of lighting its a big leap over the lifeless interior in that game. The details themselves also seem to be much finer and distinct. Without a decent wheel though i cant judge anything about the handling across either game.

And for those complaining about the environment textures its probably because they would rather your racing experience itself be smooth and untouched by frame drops, after all racing is what its all about.

In my opinion this game is going to be immense!!

Of course GT looks better, I mean GT5P which came out two years ago looks better than Forza 3 which released two months ago! Even the physics are more realistic on GT, and have always been, Forza leans slightly towards being more arcadey.

They're talking about driving physics. This time trial is showing off their new driving physics engine. So yes thats final, and its feels brilliant. But everything else was stripped down for this time trial. And obviously damage physics will still be implemented. Thats why all in all, its dumb to do a comparison using this time trial challenge. Because its by no means representative of the final product. Its not a demo

I think that Bungie doesn't even know what physics are if he actually think that Forza is superior on that aspect. In fact, all his show of unbiasedness smells like bullcrap... But I would like to know what makes him think that Forza 3 has better physics than GT because in my opinion that statement it's plain ridiculous.

Forza 3 drives more like an arcade game than a simulator like GT were its car behave more like real cars. That's why the gameplay of GT is hard to get into it for some poeple and all that is made through physics you know...

Don't forget about this fact either: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Lets put it this way:

GT5Prologue DESTROYS Forza3 in terms of visuals, here is the analysis from Digital Foundry (Eurogamer)

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

It's expected GT5 to be better than Prologue so I think it's quite safe to say Forza3 stands no chance against GT5.

BTW, GT5 "DEMO" is not a demo of visuals just the driving physics.

No one on this website is going to believe you, when we've played GT5P and Forza 3, and GT5P is better than Forza 3 in terms of both physics AND graphics. It's a fact, and you really think GT5 is gong to look worse than GT5P which came out 2 years ago? LOL I don't know whether to feel sorry for you or laugh at you.

GT has, and always will be, the best racing series available. I refuse to buy Forza 3 due to Turn 10's stupid PR comments before release, and I can understand that Xbox 360 only owners feel the need to defend their exclusive racing game. But GT5 will have QUALITY & QUANTITY (More cars, Nascar & WRC, full campaign, real driving experience).

Personally i like ForzaIII for the more arcade feel to it, and PGR4 because thats my personal preference. But i do wish Forza had some features of GT5 and im sure there are features GT5 should have that Forza has. But im truely surprised about how well ForzaIII looked from all the crap its been getting from what the devs have said. Looks mighty good, and GT5 looks awesome as well. 2 great games im sure of it.

Like Bungie said, whats wrong with liking one or the other? Forza dont support the Devs because you hate them? Buy it used. Doesnt mean you shouldnt enjoy either.

They're both racing games. GT or Forza...how about going with the game that will load on the console you have?

Comparisons really don't matter in the end, it only looks good because you're staring at it. The rest of the world just cares about how it plays. I'll give the edge to Forza since I really haven't had as much in a racing game as I have with Forza. If you're SERIOUS about racing and consider it some sort of class thing then you should really be out there DRIVING cars, not pretending that you can afford it just because the game only cost you $60.

And nothing like the Tokyo track HD-Direct Feed. The time trial has amazing physics. That 370z is fun once you get the hang of it.But yeah, lets wait till a proper GT5 demo is out. Everything is low res in this one, with 1 car on the track. And as others said, there isn't even any grass.

What i've taken from the time trial is a few things. The sense of speed is great, you feel every single bump on the road now, and the car/cocxpit view acts accordingly. The weight of the vehicles seems to have been better translated to the wheel. You REALLY feel traction loss now a bit more than previously. Sound is amazing. You really hear the transmission whine now, and I didn't check to see if the racing 370z was turbo. Was too busy trying to beat all the australians.

I question the quality difference from Tokyo to this though, and yea. The screen says its a demo of GT5. Which is clearly correct, but when the builds vary in quality so much, you can't really pretend this time trial is the final build.

Sure for today, you can pretend it is. But I want you to bookmark this for when the final comparisons are done, and then you use the excuse of "buh buh it should look better because it took so long!", yet.. that excuse falls flat for all 360 5-year projects.

What's you guys best times in this time trail? I'm really out of the racing scene and could only manage a 2:02 FamilyGai

The graphics obviously aren't representative of the final build, how is that even an argument here? This time trial is all about the physics and if you're having a hard time getting use to them it's probably because "some" arcade racer got you soft. If you keep "spinning out" here's two tips, STAY ON THE FRIGGIN PAVEMENT! and SLOW DOWN AT SHARP TURNS!

Such a silly misinformed "gamer".

How can you still spout that same old regurgitated rubbish about GT5 having poor physics when this latest Demo has absolutely amazing physics?!!

I have played both games and by far the better of the two is GT5 (the latest demo).

This Demo is not representative of the final build in terms of damage and graphics (environments) and maybe other things. It was never suppose to meet any expectations so to compare the two is meaningless. And besides the interior for GT5 still looks way better than Forza 3

You're comparing an error in the game physics in Forza 3, which rarely happens, to game graphics in Gran Turismo.
