There's Gran Turismo 5, Any Other Good 2009 Racing Games?

phosphor112 - 344 days ago

The GT guy (you know who im talking about) said it will more than likely be 2010 that it comes out. I saw the article on n4g earlier this week i think.

"What about FORZA3 or you mean in the year 2009 only?
Forza3 developers are not wasting time and they are not joking around. "

This entire forum has turned into a anti-Forza troll.

"any other Good racing games"?

No one in their right mind -- who isnt kidding themselves -- damn well know that Forza 3 is going to be fantastic. GT5 is going to have a serious run for it's money.

Foraz 2 showed how racing games should be built, Forza 3 is going to blow us away. Mark. My. Words.

Forza 2 was more customizable arcade racer then driving sim racer I would put GRID and Forza in the same league and thats not a bad thing its just different. GT5 is still the driving simulator and driving sims should not handle like Forza 2.

the only reason i doubt that forza 3 will give GT5 a run for its money is simply because the team making forza doesnt put the same attention to detail that polyphony does.

in forza 2 look at the honda civic hatchback. its listed as an SiR yet the back on the back is VTi. and the civic del sol has a 97+ front bumper but the 97+ bumper didnt have foglights.

its little stupid things like that, that polyphony wouldnt miss. i know its small and trivial but when you see some of your favorite cars represented incorrectly and especially on something so basic as that, its like why...?

also the customizing w/ bodykits was a bit trivial w/ forza seeing as how they usually had 1 maybe 2 high end kits worthy of putting on the car. the rest were wings west or other gaudy kit that killed the lines of the car and made them look horrible, not to mention the forza designed kits. and compare that to the GT designed kits/cars in GT5:P. much more polished and thought out.

i hope they spend more time on forza3 instead of just improving slightly but not enough in everything like they did w/ forza2 which for the most part was just a graphical upgrade.

GRID left a sour taste in my mouth with it's road racing.

But man oh man I have that game PURELY for the drift portion. Quite possibly the closest to real life drifting excitement I've ever played. Of course it's not realistic, but it definitely captures that "holy sh*t" of d1 drifting.

"Anyway, I was quite shocked how much better this looked than most other titles, nothing on the PC comes close."

If you actually believe that, you're gullible as all hell.

The most graphically advanced racer on the 360 is RACE Pro and it doesn't come close to GT5P, in fact, if you even want to compare screenshots (not the bullshots that have been passed around for RACE Pro), you'll see the game doesn't come close.

Followed your links. Sorry man. Not even close. GT5P looks better and was running by the time those were even taken.

GT5P in action gets compared to real footage, and its hard to tell the difference. This looks good, but different league.

They only provided one in-game shot (identified by HUD) and it looks like crap so let's look at the replay:

http://www.autogaming.net/c...

Native Resolution: 900x506 (0.46 Million pixels/frame)
Number of cars/race: 8
Frame-rate: unknown

Compare with this similar replay shot from GT5 Prologue:

http://plaza.fi/s/f/editor/...

Native Resolution: 1280x1080 (1.38M Pixels/frame)
Number of cars/race: 16
Frame-rate: 60fps in-game, 30fps replay

Polygons: As you can see, GT5 has smoother and more rounded shapes (fewer visible polygon edges)

Textures: This is another area where GT5 has a clear advantage.

Lighting: While many of the surfaces on the "Ferrari Project" shot are flat, with everything looking a bit plasticky, the GT5 interior looks like it's made from a wide range of materials. Beautiful.

Cars: GT5 is running twice as many cars per race

Frame-rate: While no one knows at what frame-rate the Ferrari project runs GT5 Prologue runs at a full 60fps. Considering shader heavy racing games on 360 like Grid and PGR4 run at only 30fps, I wouldn't be surprised if the Ferrari Project also runs at only 30fps.

If they want Forza3 to even come close to GT5 then 2 years of work is just not enough. Forza2 was lacking quite as few important elements and i expect Forza3 to be much much better than F2. I also expect GT5 to have weather variations, damage and solid online if not it will not be a complete next gen race sim. Forza3 needs weather variations, c0ckpitt view, open wheel race class, better pits animations and much better gfx.

Forza Motorsport is a simulation game not a flashy look at me I look great game. Forza Motorsport uses its gameplay and customization to sway gamers while GT uses graphics and abundance of cars to sway gamers. Either way both will be good games and underrating either would be foolish. Forza 2 had a lack of cars and tracks because they had to redo every ingame model to work on a High Definition platform. They also spent alot of their time creating a very advance physics and AI system.

Forza 2 - 9.0 on metacritic.

However, if you really want to start getting technical.

Gran Turismo 4 Prologue got 70 on Metacritc, the full game got a full 19 marks higher with 89.

Gran Tursimo 5 Prologue is sitting on 80 on metacritic, do you really think the review scores will go down for the full game?

Not to mention, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue outsold the other Prologue/Concept editions.

Here is another poor example of somehow Metacritic meaning/being the be all end all when it comes to what is "teh bestorz"...then why don't they include ALL review sites scores & not just ones they want to pick and choose? Or how Meta is tied to Microsoft because of the $500 Million Viacom deal that is set for the next 5 years

http://blog.seattlepi.nwsou...

And for those who won't admit it Viacom is the parent company of such sites as Metacritic, MTV, Gamespot and CNET (all sites of which continue 100% confirmed misinformation and bias). PLUS I find it funny how in the past when (MS)NBC would slam Sony & the PS3 it was a "good trusted" media site but when they talk about RROD it's a "fanboy blog" http://www.n4g.com/Redirect...

You people will never be taken seriously. All that you post is misinformation, bias, lies & it has been proven/confirmed OVER & OVER.

Brixxer600 - 343 days 16 hours ago

I couldn't care about Metacritic etc.

I do think that Forza is better than Gran Turismo though. I really wish that they'd take the best ideas from Forza (Auction House, customisation and Paint shop)and add them to GT, i find the racing gets boring and would spend hours just painting different designs and selling them, it was also excellent as far as building a community, the forums were full of people showing off their designs, some "artists" were virtually geniuses and it made a good site on replays etc, instead of just a bunch of people racing the same car.

I love my PS3 and know that having a go at GT is almost seen as "Treason" by some fans but i honestly think the game needs more than just a graphical update, the opposition Ai is notoriously pathetic and for a game that is widely acclaimed as the best simulation, why can you still use the crash barriers to get round bends ?, fair enough your lap time may get penalised but you can still keep your position on the track. I don't think that Forza does it right as far as damage goes though , it is good to have damage but let's face it if you crash at 100mph you're gong to come off a lot worse than having some smashed windows and losing out on top speed.

oohhh no... PS3 fantards seem to forget that:

PS2 100 to 120 mln. installed base

XBOX 1 - 25 mln. installed base

Plus: GT has been around since part 1. So it had build up a steady userbase.

Now on the other hand go compare:

Gears of War 1 sold 5 mln. copies back in 2006 when there were about 8 to 10 mln. 360's sold

Halo 3 sold 8 mln. copies back in 2007 when there were about 15 mln. 360's sold

to

MGS4 sold 3 mln. copies this summer when there were what, 13 mln. PS3's sold.

LBP sold 1 mln. copies (best & highest scoring exclusive on the PS3 with 9.5 out of 10, about every PS3 owner should buy this game) just about now, when there are 17 mln. PS3's sold.

That Gran Turismo is older and had a bigger installed base than what Forza had:

XBOX 1 - 25 mln. installed base

forza 1 = 1.1m
gt4 = 9.5m

They are b!tching and complaining above ^^^ that isn't a fair comparison, Yet you 360 phanboys refuse to use this kind of logic when it comes to all of you talking crap about the PS3 and its lower software and hardware sales numbers than the xbox 360.

The xbox 360 had a full 12-month head start on the PS3 and has a somewhat higher installed base than the PS3, yet you xbot butt-buddies refuse to recognize that when you are all running your mouths with how "bad" the ps3's sales are compared to the xbox 360.

Import tuner says one thing while many other sites say another (ones MUCH more trustworthy too).

"Kazunori laughed at the notion of a 2010 release date for Gran Turismo 5, and said it will be released sooner than expected." ~ http://www.gtplanet.net/kaz...

Plus how GTPlanet has already shown what Import Tuner said to be out of context/old information ~ http://www.gtplanet.net/mor...

"Import Tuner: In order to access GT-TV do you need to have GT 5 Prologue?

KY: Yes, it is a service within the game. GT-TV will have Top Gear, Best Motoring, Video Option, Super GT, D1 Grand Prix, as well as original programming, in high definition.

Import Tuner: Is it going to be free?

KY: Some of it will be, and others will have a small fee.

GTP: That’s important, because it wasn’t added to the game until August 1, 2008. This makes it obvious the interview took place before that date, probably during July (when Yamauchi was giving 2010 to everyone).

October 29, 2008: In an interview with GTPlanet member Ahmed Al Azmi, Yamauchi-san laughed off the 2010 release date, and said Gran Turismo 5 will be coming “much sooner than expected”.

November 30, 2008: GTPlanet discovered a statement by an SCEE executive in a Spanish financial magazine, indicating a Christmas 2009 release.

December 24, 2008: The Import Tuner interview is brought from the dead after getting posted to social news site GamingGrep, without any mention of the article’s actual age.

December 25, 2008: An OXCGN editor writes a scathing critique of Yamauchi and Polyphony Digital’s development cycle, based on comments from the interview.

December 26, 2008: The OXCGN article spreads quickly after being submitted to N4G with a sensational headline. The news is immediately picked up by forum users at EvilAvatar, editors at Play3-Live.com, GamesBlog.it, Kotaku Australia, and dozens of other blogs and message boards.

Everywhere the news has been posted, it has sparked quite a bit of discussion. GT news junkies (GTPlanet readers, I’m sure!) were quick to point out the age of the comments, but unfortunately this will continue to needlessly confuse and disgruntle casual fans of the series. So, if you see someone else touting this as ‘breaking news’, point them here and set the record straight."

So get your story straight before you continue the misinformation.
