People Need To Stop Comparing Prologue And Forza 3

Psxextreme writes: Someone needs to explain this to me: how exactly are so-called "journalists" putting up articles that are comparing Forza 3 to the demo that is nearly two years old? What's even the purpose of such a ridiculous comparison, besides to simply promote Forza 3? Come on.

1.1 - the joke is the last comparison which declared forza 3 the 'winner'
was actually gameswire.net trying to pull the wool over our eyes they tried o pass off 3 year old GT-HD as GTP and compared forza 3 to GT-HD claiming it was GTP, respect to KAIN81 for posting youtube videos proving this fact. its sad cerain sites are doing the old 'gametrailers switcheroo' to try and give 360 an edge.

1.2 - I love PS3
but most of her fans are so full of it. You guys were all supportive of this phony gameswire website when they said GT5P was the better looking game. But now after they were called on there BS and hadda put up another article showing Forza is the better looking game, suddenly we got even a PS3 fansite coming out and bashing them.

So what gives, why was it ok to compare the two games when GT5P was judged to be superior, but not when F3 is judged to be superior?

You guys are so full of it.

1.4 - TURN 10 started all this crap by talking sh1t and posting those ridiculous BULLSHOTS.
gt5p finished the comparisons and embarrasses turn10 devs AND the 360 hardware.

gt5 will eclipse ALL racers

(insert 1.1 post here)

It seems to me like all 360 games suffer from the BULLSHOT epidemic. gears of war also quickly comes to mind. whats funny to me, is that before killzone released, the media as a whole pointed and said "bullshots". when killzone2 released, where did those idiots go? Oh i get it...its ok to make up bullsh1t about sony, but they cant criticize the weak american console

Strikepackage, please don't make me show that embarrassing video of the so-called damage in Forza.

Please don't. :(

And you act like 360 fans are saints. Every single day since 2007, I kept hearing the PS3 has no games! Multiplats are better on the 360! PS3 fans wasted their money on a bluray player! Oh noes!

If you're calling out PS3 loyalists, then call everyone out. We're all hypocrites in a sense aren't we?

I agree, I mean come on going to compare a game that has been in development for almost 5 years VS 2 years. And the last i knew a demo didn't cost 40 bucks either. People get so hurt sometimes.

@1.9 - Who called it a demo? People like you called it a demo in the first place, now you're saying it's not a demo. F***ing hypocrites, change your mind every time it suits you. Now GT5P is a full game when you are comparing it to Forza 3.

2 year old game vs brand new game, and brand new game still loses. Pathetic.

Have you not been reading comments? Or should i hold your hand and point them out to you. Everybody has been saying it is a demo and most being PS3 fanboys, just read this comments section. Sorry i don't call paying 40 bucks for a game a demo. Doesnt matter how you want to try and twist it to suit your needs.

You know what would stop all this BS? If Turn 10 came out and just said Gran Turismo 5 will be a better looking game or at the least retract their BS statement about being the definitive racing game this generation.

Also I'm curious why people are this gung ho over a racing game anyways. When I think racing games I think the only real seller compared to competition is the graphics. You need to squeeze out the best looking game possible, because gameplay, cars, tracks, style, music etc is all something any developer can mimic and copy with ease. You can't however mimic and copy an engine that produces a game that blurs the line between reality and a game: Gran Turismo 5 does that.

It'd be like if a rival franchise to Madden started next year, did its thing for 2 game entries, and wasn't better than Madden's installments. Now all of the sudden the new guy wants to tell everyone he needs a wheel chair for his dong because it's so big when the reality is it isn't even near that. Turn 10 turned themselves into a penis joke, and now are having to do a lot of work to convince people it's as big of a deal as they claim it to be when they know it's BS. Gran Turismo 5 and Polphony Digital don't have to do that and never have wanted to do that. They just offer the experience they want to please themselves and hopefully others like them.

How does this differ from people paying full retail for an expansion pack?

On topic:
Comparisons in general are nothing but fuel. This whole generation is nothing but one big tired war of nonsense and it's out of control. The gaming media is completely worthless and blog sites by kids and immature adults don't help.

I don't read reviews for their scores, don't care about sales charts, could do without all the hype and PR spin, or all the other nonsense surrounding gaming today.

All I care about is the GAMES!
I don't care what company creates or publishes them or what console they run on. All I care about is the entertainment I get from them.

Nobody was complaining when the boys claimed GT5P was better. Now the following article proves the opposite:

http://www.gameswire.net/sc...

And Sony boys with sites cry in anger not to compare them. Who understands them?

Anyway, there ARE comparisons between the builds of both games shown last week at TGS 09 and the winner is still Forza Motorsport:

http://www.destructoid.com/...

With GT5 having such heavy problems with the framerate I doubt they will manage to both improve framerate and visuals in a few months. They've been working on this for many years to get to this point.

So, in the end, this could well end up as:

Best cars: GT5
Best environments: Forza 3
Best Visuals Overall: Forza 3

In terms of gameplay we'll have to wait until the final games. In terms of functionality, connectivity and community options Forza 3 has no rival.

In the end, both will be great games that will appeal to each userbase.

PS3 fans have no problem posting endless screenshots of GT5P and claiming "superiority" over Forza 3, yet when anyone compares them and declares Forza 3 better, suddenly the arguement becomes

"you can't compare a full game to a demo - it's not fair"

Typical N4G double standard.

Please stop. You're embarrassing yourself. You sound bitter. Settle down and have a beer. The same way you can say that, I could also say that 360 loyalists were claiming GT5 was *delayed* when there wasn't even a release date.

Go cry me a river. -_-

And for the record, I actually *do* think GT:5 Prologue looks better than Forza 3 at the moment.

Turn 10 lied.

They need to stop talking out of their butts and actually work on the game to prove people wrong.

Yes, Turn 10 really needs to shut the hell up about Forza 3. The more they try to hype it up, the more we'll overexpect things about the game. They have to live up to the hype, remember? I'm sure it'll be a great game, but it cannot part water, so they should stop acting like it CAN!

demo that cost $40? the demo that has more cars than 45 cars of GRID and even more than 72 cars of NFS SHIFT? full 16-player online play? GT-TV? unmatched graphics for a racing game up to today? that demo? oh wait...you're just a troll! why don't you go and ask Codemaster and EA why GRID and SHIFT cost 20 quids more than prologue while being 720p and yet has way less cars??

plus, what is so bad with comparing a game 5 years in development to a game with 2 years of development? GT5 has more than 2 times the number of cars with added WRC and NASCAR for that matter! but will GT5 cost you 2.5x more than Forza3 because it took 2.5 years longer? NO, it will still cost you $60!

Why do stupid people keep saying; "no one was crying when..." The complaint is the fact that we had 20 articles a day of this crap! No one was complaining when it was one, because when it was one, it was good.

We would all get mad if someone told us the same joke 12 times a day for a month, no matter how good!

Why would we complain about hearing a good joke once?

if you disagree than you are a 360 fanboy, if your not i will prove that you are.

have a nice day! :D

seriously there is nothing wrong with this fanboy war stuff i find it greatly entertaining and great for the industry. It makes dev work harder to make the best games they could. The only thing that annoys me are these people going around setting on their high horse and saying how this genaration is so sh!$ because of the fanboys. i say get f@#$ this gen is prob the best gen for gaming eva!!! and i'm still missing out on it!!! need a ps3!!!!

I agree. I feel that these discussions and the Turn 10 statements are just a way of getting Forza recognition. Until GT5 and Forza can be compared side by side in their finished form there can be no meaningful discussion about which game is better.

agreed.

And GT5P isn't that similar to GT5, maybe the graphics, but it ends there. GT5 has new physics, better graphics, way more features, damage.

Prologue isn't even that great of a representation of GT5.

5.1 - how
about need for speed shift the game thats actually on the market and can compete directly with forza on the 360?

GTp if you look at it closely smokes forza 3, forza seems very colorful and tacky at best.

It is that coloring that makes the game seem so... arcady like a ridge racer with enhanced visuals. If you were to walk outside now even you would notice reality isn't as colorful, shoot the only colorful things you'll most likely find in the street besides the traffic lights are some shirts and signs and maybe some cars.

But that's it. Forza to be honest with you feels like PGR toned down to feel more realistic, I hope GT5 won't have the feature to freeze time and rewind. That is the dumbest thing to do for a racing game.

I mean, if they claim to be a simulator, there's no 2nd chances in a race. I saw a video of that and thought, 'wtf you can't rewind'. I also didn't like how they have guided paths to show you how to take curves. GT only does that for License tests which is appropriate. You can't call it a simulator and then add all these 'lifelines'

just looking at the lighting and the level of detail in GTp just shows how superior this game is. i don't really care all that much about the environment, this isn't uncharted now. this is a freaking racing game. just saying.

Yeah the rewind feature shouldn't even exist but the lines on the road are something that I think can be disabled.

It's not a bad thing to add for people who maybe aren't so good at these kinds of driving games so that they can learn and improve and eventually play without them, kinda like training wheels. It isn't the blasphemous addition that people seem to be making it out to be.

I'm probably going to suck at aspects of GT5 when it comes out and I wouldn't mind a little bit of help with my lines to be perfectly honest, just in the beginning so I can learn a little and then turn it off forever.

A 2 year old demo is not comparable to a brand new finished product, end of story. You think that the "journalists" being paid to hype up Forza 3 would have more to go on than playing the "its better than GT5" card.

I agree that it's not too fair, but I hate it when people say, "You shouldn't compare x game with x game". Competition breeds excellence, and if Forza didn't have GT and vice versa neither game would be as good as they are.

I'm for freedom of speech, nobody says you have to read something you don't like, that's your choice. Let the fanboys have their fun, because in the end it's the ones that were wrong that end up looking foolish.
