Gran Turismo vs. Forza Motorsport : Ultimate Comparison

Zeevious - 546 days 3 hours ago

Forza has more arcade gameplay.
GT5:Prologue is more of a driving simulation.

Which is more fun depends on what you like to play or just your mood. They both are great.

Since Forza is just up to version 2 it will be great to see how Forza 3 compares to the full GT 5. Either way, they are both the best of the best in driving games.

Want even more realism now? Get a steering wheel for GT5...it makes a big difference.

gt5p destroys any racer. and forza is a piece of sh** in comparison to gt5p. everyone who has played both games knows this.

to be compared to GT imo.

GT the cars all feel the same, and the damage really takes away. But I have to say gt does look quite a bit better. And the physics is pre-programmed per car, and there's not as many features.

That said, I can't wait to see forza 3 square off against gt5.

You havent played GT5 yet, so how do you know.

The prologue is not the same - has no damage for one.

Also, won't these gaems be over a year apart once GT5 finally comes out.

GT5 should be a lot better, but i could have played forza for over a year by now. GT5 isnt out yet.

Their conclusion was rather one sided for an "unbiased" comparison.
"Whats the difference?" The same reason you wrote the artical...because they are on different consoles.

"GT5: Prologe may be a decition for an average gamer but a must buy for a GT fans..."
A supporter of the console or the game itself may feel insulted buy this comment. That person would never identify himself with or as an average gamer, and there for be aggrivated.

However it is made more insulting when taken into context"
...and Forza is a must buy for arcade driving lovers still looking for realism but a decition for someone looking for high-tech graphics."

"GT5: Prologe..may" : Stating this leads the reader to believe that even the average gamer might not even pick this title up and only GT fans would. That it has little or nothing for anyone other than that.
"Forza...is" Implying that any self-repecting "hardcore" gamer would pick it up as it does have everything.

The authers closing comments make clear his own views and that this artical is ment to do nothing but have Forza and GT fans, and in turn, PS3 and Xbox 360 fans at eachothers throats.

Don't buy into this.

I'm a big racing fan.

I've played many racer Gtr , Gtr2 , Gt legend , the EA f1 200* series , Rfactor , Live for Speed , Race07 , Richard Burn Rally , The colin mcrae serie. I've played all the Gt serie and forza 1 and a bit of forza 2.

And i can tell you that GT5 and or Forza2 with or without Racing wheel are NOT sims. They are lots of fun but not sim racing . So please stop calling them Driving simulator,
when they are only racing game.
Gt5 and feel a little bit more real because each car have a different feel but the braking zone and weight feel or even Damages kills it . Same goes for Forza the customization are great but physic is a real killer here.
I could add Grid/Dirt in here as well they are both lots of fun arcade feel too.

If you want sims . go play some Race07 and live for speed. with no driving assist. You will have a blast.

Notes: I own all the above racing games and Gt3-4 and gt5p and also owned forza1 on my original xbox . My friend bough Forza2 for me and i played a quite a bit already.

BS. This article is just an opinion about both games and you can tell they are more Forza drivers than GT5. Sorry, but to say that Forza handles better is silly. They are both different and both handle in their own rite. Both are fun but not one is better than the other, only different and made to suit certain tastes.

I love em both but if i had to choose one it would be Forza2 for the auction house and paintshop. Ive spent as much time on that as i have racing. Your car is much more yours than it is in GT. Painting and tweaking your cars gives you a sense of ownership and online it feels like your racing against other players engines tuned to the max.
On GT its clones all the way.
Gt has great graphics and style but Forza2 i find more fun and theres more options. I wish P.Digital would add more to there franchise as it seems like GT3 with better graphics sometimes. Overall i was a little dissapointed with prologue but am hoping the full product will be a cracker.

I have not played GT since I had a PS1 so I don't know if it has damage or not. If it does not then it can't be called a SIM. Forza to was cool but it was not great. In my opinion if you hit a wall head on going 100 mph in a Honda Civic the race should be over.

But I've played GT2,3,4 and Forza 1 and 2. I guess my taste is not sophistocated because I don't sense much difference in handling between the two - both are far more realistic than a Burnout or NFS. - And I concede that I've never played the hardcore PC racers that are supposed to be really "real" - GT and Forza are close enough to reality for me.

Both of these games give me the satisfaction that I've "driven" well when I win or hit the perfect line in a turn.

"Better" is a matter of opinion, and I like both franchises. GT was the standard, and I think Forza is a worthy opponent. Look at it this way - whatever console you choose, you can get a great "realistic" racer. That's all that matters to me.

Lots of respect for Forza, but it just didn't keep me hooked. Two weeks and I never booted it up again.
I've always been partial to a bit of GT though and this gen is no exception, I still play a bit of prologue.

Still, they are both good titles.

Which is more than can be said about the article! Dreadfully written, have they not heard of proof-reading? It reads worse than a google translation, and whilst his English is infinitely better than my Indian will ever be, I don't try and publish articles in another language. Judging by this one, neither should he! :)

Forza is a great game while gran turismo only has a prologue & im hoping they follow some key elements from forza.
The team that made forza worked really hard to bring a realistic sim that beats all other gran turismo games of the past & in my opinion still beats prologue.
If it wasnt for forza I would have still believed that licenced cars in a video game could not have damage. Forza has a great community that allows many options I hope to have in gran turismo. Custom paint jobs and art made from the user is Killer. I once saw the barricade cop car from transformers overlap me.
Nothing can be taken away from the team that made forza on the limited DVD9 disc. They did the very best they could & I personnally feel they have created a benchmark for future racing sims.
Just like i give credit to Battlefield: Bad Company because from now on, Soundwise all other shooters have to be as good or better than the sound in Bad Company.
Im hoping the team that made forza can get out of their contract with microsoft and produce a masterpiece on the Bluray disc. I would pay double to play forza with better graphics at 1080P 60 fps!
One can only hope.

Oh & to the people that want to call these games arcade racers need to stop srutinizing words. They are video game Simulators. As in they try their hardest to include as much realism as possible. SIM.

heard enought i've got Forza and PGR4 and GT5P

every Gran Turismo (which i have) has always sold over 10million (not including GT tokyo concept and GT4P main series not introduction to play)

formula 1 drivers and top gear presenters all say that jeramy clackson "gran turismo would only be more realistic if a steak impaled you every time you crashed".

Gran turismo 4 has more cars than forza 1 & 2 and PGR 1, 2, 3, & 4

its a simulator, BMW said they have spent millions on a sim and when they saw GT5P (with the Ferrari 2007) and used it they said it was better then there own development at the time.

PGR and Forza has had ferraris since they appeared and guess what Gran turismo gets the F1 scuderia ferraris first with out FOM (formula one management) contract

the G25 is the first wheel to have live dynamics which is used in F1 currently Brake BIAS and rev limiter and formaly Traction control and ABS

on Forza you can only configure the dynamics before race not like real life.

live dynamics is used in

Formaula 1
Le Mans
Touring car
and more

even a road legal cars have live dynamics from the cheap renualt v6 and the most expensive road car the bugatti veyron

forza2 is the better racing game,mainly due to it having damage and being able to customise your vehicle,its great when you have spent many hours tuning and doing a paintjob on your car then taking it online.

i was disappointed with prologue because of online play..so many people just rode the walls in the game which hardly made it realistic

for a gloryfied demo it was decent but nothing to write home about other than it looked great from a graphics point of view,and i could not invite friends to race which was dumb

the in car view on gt5p was excellent although thats not really a sim view, and the detail of the london track was top notch.

gt5 should be better than forza2 when its released if its got damage,and better a.i as the a.i in gt5p was not that great as it was pre scripted.

you would do the same race and the same car would spin off or go off the track at the same spot.damage in races make most people race properly.if people know they can ride the walls without penalty they will do it.

forza2 needed more exciting tracks because a lot of tracks were boring,other than that it is the best racer out atm,until gt5 comes out it will remain the king of racers.

and for people who said forza2 damage was unrealistic,well unrealistic damage is far more realistic than a game with no damage.

actually playing gt5p made me go and buy forza2 again,so who is up for 10 laps around nurburgring lol

I thought the GT5-P demo is pretty much flopping?. GT-5 is just a shinny arcade racer you can upgrade parts in. GT5 barely competes with some of the latest arcade games let alone real Sims, GT5 is called a Sim because you can change parts not because its simulating racing. lol

haha, Forza couldn't even beat a prologue

the full GT5 will grind Forza to dust

why the hell would anyone play Forza when GT5 comes out? it has NO advantages what-so-ever

damage for GT has been confirmed

the graphics and physics are miles ahead

the selection of cars and tracks will be miles ahead

and then there's GTTV, GT online and more
