Forza 3 vs GT5 Prologue comparison - super smooth Prologue wins

hay - 105 days 14 hours ago

Both look sweet but Prologue seems to put emphasis on more realistic look with models of surrounding but that doesn't mean Forza looks worse. No. It's just small difference in presentation.

And let's don't lie to each other, some Forza3 surroundings have higher poly count and texture res than GT5P. But mountains in the Prologue are incredible...
But on the other side, reflections are more detailed in Prologue...

Also lighting seems more realistic in Prologue which makes normal outdoors look normally, but when shadows comes into play, fantastic. On the other hand Forza has the a bit coloured light which adds to the attractiveness.

Personally, I think it's the first good comparison between Forza 3 and any other game. Great comparison of great games, really makes you think about the differences and details.
Real eye-candy.

I think the lighting is what makes GT5 Prologue look more realistic. The higher resulotion doesn't hurt either.

My friend, don't even mention a comparison between Forza3 and GT5. Here is a quick sample of how monstrous the PREVIEW build from GT5 looks, new screens directly from IGN. The fight would be a quick and easy one for GT5, but slow and painfull for Forza 3:

Forza doesn't look cartoony. It's just that GT looks much more photorealistic so screenshots are hard to tell whether or not it's a real image whereas when looking at Forza screenshots it's easier to tell that they're from a game.

edit: don't get me wrong I'm not saying you can't tell GT screenshots are from a game (though some definitely make you scratch your head) it's just that when comparing the two games GT screens look more real.

@ Aggesan

totally agree about the light being what makes GTP better..

and the other comment about the poly count, i think is very true.

what you never see from the pictures and vid's is how flat everything looks in GTP. the cars look amazing yes and i do think they still look better then forza, but when you look at the environment, i was not impressed with gtp.

It looks great in screen shots and stuff, it's just one of those things you don't see until you are playing the game infront of you on a 40" LCD.

I won't put my foot down on forza cos i have not played it yet either, but i remember being very disappointed when i played forza2. IMO, pgr 3 and 4 graphically looked better.

This pretty much proves that every screenshot turn 10 has released had been from the freakin' photo-mode. And no, both don't look great. Gt5p is the only one that looks great. I bet Forza's a wonderful game by itself(gameplay), but it's NOT even close to GT5 or Prologue. Just look at this screenshot before disagreeing.

http://www.gameswire.net/co...

You Forza fans say that GT5p has 2D trees, what about those ugly pixelated vegetation in the Forza background?

Raf1k1 - 105 days 13 hours ago

Great graphics and photorealism aren't always the same thing.

You can create a amazingly detailed model of a wall in a racing game and also one that's rather flat in comparison but with high res textures. Then when you drive past at high speed the flatter wall can look more impressive.

With games like Forza and GT the car is the star which is why they take centre stage and are so amazingly detailed. The detail of the race tracks comes after the cars on the list of priorities or so it seems.

edit: Take a look at this image from L4D2 which we all know runs on an pretty old graphics engine:
http://screenshots.teamxbox...
The character model actually looks rather photorealistic compared to the following screenshot from Gears2:

That's not photorealistic at all even though graphically it's better.

ya, i generally agree with you...Killzone has great graphics, but it's not photo real etc..

I already said the cars look better in GT anyway. The car does come first, but still you want something that's consistent. If your car was photo real and then the track, people, trees and everything was cartoony, you can't say it would not put you off a bit. If we are talking about comparing graphics then that's what we are comparing, nobody was specific... and neither matter if they look great but play like crap ( i am not saying they do mind you )

I just watched the LP560 video and seen the spoiler on the Benz functional just like the Veyron... does any other console racer do this if not then it can't possibly be definitive without that detail.

The real difference is in the development. There's a reason why PD takes their time. The driving force behind the team is Kazunori Yamauchi, who is probably used as an example of the word "Perfectionist" in the dictionary.

Who knows, maybe if Turn 10 wasn't so hellbent on trying to finish in 2 years and took their time to develop Forza 3, maybe it would have had GT5p graphics (in 720p).

Does GT5P look amazing? yeah, but don`t expect a huge leap from GT5P to GT5, I mean, it is GT5.

As a huge GT fan (I own ever Gran Turismo ever realesed) I will admit hands down that Gran Turismo looks better then Forza 3, so in the graphics department chalk one up of PD. However I am inteligent enought to know that both games are looking to be great console racers that each offer a very full racing experience, there is no denying the customizing options in Forza 3 alone as a reason to not mind the graphical diferences it has with GT5.

I have been playing Forza 3 at work all morning and it does not dissapoint and does look very good in its own right. It will definatly hold me over till March 2010. :)

L4D2 is a lot better looking than the original and is built on a much improved engine. The original was one of the worst looking games on the 360.

Not sure why you say L4D2 is worse than Gears 2. Gears has some pseudo-HDR effects that make it more eye-catching but that screen-shot of Gears 2 doesn't show any self-shadowing, a feature that L4D2 has and, in fact, many PS2 games and even a few Xbox games had.

I will be getting both and will be very happy with both, but the Forza games have always been very good sims, there is no point in being in denial about such a simple fact. Speaking of facts.

Fact#1-Forza 3 will be the best console sim racer on the 360.
Fact#2-GT5 will be the best console sim racers on the PS3.
Fact#3-The people arguying over which one is the best are just little puppies chasing their own console war tails around.

And Kain, get over it, march 2010 is the date, no way in hell that its coming out here first. However I will be the happiest guy here if I am wrong and they surpise us with a NA/EU release date in late 09.

thor - 105 days 11 hours ago

Nah I was just kidding about the zany physics and stuff. To be honest I think Forza 3 will be the better game out of the two... but to say GT5:Prologue is BORING means that Forza 3 has something that GT5 doesn't that gets him interested. Both games are great racing simulators, and I mean the thrill of overtaking or just keeping your lead, taking a perfect corner is the same in both games.

My only conclusion can be that he enjoys the damage in Forza (meaning he can't drive), the rewinding feature in Forza (likewise), or that he doesn't have fun if he's not painting the outside of his car. Because the actual racing is the same (although GT5:P supports more cars on track).

360 fans spread a lot of FUD about "well I just didn't enjoy it" and you can present them with the facts, like the driving is pretty much identical, and they fail to explain why they think one is OMGZZZZ and the other is "boring". If you're bored by racing around a track, you're not going to like either game. If you find racing in Forza exciting, you're going to find it exciting in GT (or for that matter, pretty much any other racing simulation game). Questions of features, longetivity, graphics, handling etc. aren't going to make you "bored after 5 minutes".

Maybe its the Lighting engine in GT- "prologue" , but it is graphically, without a doubt , immensely superior to F3.

The difference in the quality between these replay images is all the more striking when one considers that not only is GT5 Prologue rendering twice as many cars and, even in exterior views, shading car interiors (Forza 3 just blacks out most of the interior parts), it's renders these replays at true native 1080P/30 (1920x1080: 2.1M pixels/frame) while Forza 3's replays max out at 720P/30 (1280x720: 0.92M pixels/frame).

is this just the screens?...but I have never seen a 360 exclusive have such a lack of AA...AA has always been one of the 360's stronger areas relative to the PS3...but forza 3 doesn't fit that mold so far...at all...

its not just in the comparisons of this article...even in pics users submitted all through this thread...

but whatever guys...these articles are pointless...say whatever you want about GT...but they have ALWAYS been the most realistic looking racing games since the beginning...

Forza 2 was topped by GT HD...a test bed that ran ENTIRELY on GT4's engine...which was developed for the PS2 (i've said it a hundred times, but GT4 even on the PS2 could run at 1080i HD with component cables, so could tourist trophy)...and Forza 3 is obviously visually topped by this, a nearly 2 year old 'demo' for GT5...

that is how the world works...PD has the cash, the talent, and the time to do this...its simple as that...Turn 10 doesn't...it does not mean forza 3 will be a bad game at all...but there was very little evidence from the beginning that any title 2 years in the making was going to top anything GT has visually...

thor - 105 days 10 hours ago

Yeah the environments in Prologue are awful; hopefully they're vastly improved in the full release. Also it seems that one of the reasons Forza 3's only taken 2 years is because they've just used the same engine. For GT5 they've had to code a brand new engine. Not to mention the fact that these shots are from Prologue released about a year and a half ago.

Unfortunately, environments aren't what it's all about - I'd say the track and the cars are just as important. In this respect Prologue blows Forza 3 out of the water with its superior lighting.

LMAO this is too funny.

We all know that things like poor lighting and reflections aren't affected by resolution.

All resolution does is increase the level of detail when it's higher. In Forza 3's case, it renders natively in 720p so any jaggies you see in 1080i are as a result of poor upscaling. But what you say about "no jaggies in 1080p" strikes me as a complete lie. Mainly because there is no difference in resolution between 1080i and 1080p. Absolutely none. They are both 1920x1080 pixels. The difference is in interlaced/progressive scan (look it up) but if you have an LCD display capable of displaying 1080p it will DEINTERLACE the 1080i signal ANYWAY, so both 1080i and 1080p should look the exact same - 1920x1080 pixels. In motion, there will be differences between interlaced and progressive, but this is a still screenshot. Maybe your TV is only 720p and it can't downsample from 1080i very well?

I just downloaded the Forza 3 Demo, and, Those screen shots are pretty right on, jaggies and all.

(both running 720P on a 50" Plasma Panasonic.)

I know its a demo, and things could possibly get better, as is the case with GT-P.

Maybe its the Lighting engine in GT- "prologue" , but it is graphically, without a doubt , immensely superior to F3.

Like it or hate it, for me its a cemented fact.

As for the game play, I really cant give an opinion with controllers.... Unfortunately my Logitech G25 doesent work with the 360....

Damn you MS, I really dont want to have to buy a new wheel.... Why the hell dont you support the G25 ? Windows does....
