The graphics look great for both games. But we all know that when it comes to racing sim the most important aspect of the game is gameplay. Until we actually play them I can't tell which one will is better.

Forza just looks move vibrant. The colors aren't muted, the road actually have texture to it, not just a flat gray and the sounds are just so much more robust.

"Forza just looks move vibrant. The colors aren't muted, the road actually have texture to it, not just a flat gray and the sounds are just so much more robust."

Forza looks more vibrant? Have you ever owned or seen a car? They sure don't look like Forza cars. Forza cars look so glossy. It's like they're trying to fake lighting like in Gears. It looks unrealistic. And those grass textures were so flat.

Surprising. Seeing as there's only ever 8 cars on a track at any given time, compared to GT's 16 on a track at any given time. Forza also runs at lower resolution than GT.

Arcade racers don't require the background processing real Sims need. I wonder if GT5 will really have *cosmetic damage* since they showed CGI damage footage. I wonder how this cosmetic damage in GT5 will effect how the game *really looks* once they *really show* GT5. I wonder why they didn't show *gameplay* or provide *hands-on* with media or *playable SKU's* set up. LMAO

As expected, Forza 3 looks good, but then you see GT5 and you're gobsmacked at how good it looks. Forza 3 is directly competing with GT, the devs have said so themselves, and it doesn't look as good.

But again as expected, all the xbox fanboys are now making excuses for the games "vibrant" colours. If you want "vibrant" colours go play Gripshift, I said it before and I'll say it again Forza 3 had no chance of standing up to GT, ESPECIALLY in terms of graphics.

GT, the real driving simulator, everything else is just not as good.

Edit: Also this isn't a brilliant comparison, it's just the two trailer of the games.

1.8 - If...
...F3 and GT5 are in direct competition, and F3 has a release date of October 2009, then that means GT5 will also have to be released around this time...

I think Sony are planning a surprise release with a Bundle/PS3 price drop/Slim PS3 around october to count for all the times they delayed other promised PS3 games.

They both look really good!. However I think the oversaturated colors in Forza makes i look less realistic. GT5 looks more real.

Also if you look closely at all the Forza vids you will notice that none of the cars exhibit body roll when turning and landing after being airborne.

Look at The GT5 videos for the same thing and you will notice the opposite. I think it is fair to say that, judging by this video, GT5 has always, and will always have the physics lock down.

Honestly, I think the fact that the colors are too vibrant makes Forza look a little too flashy and less realistic. And that environment they are driving in looks like they got the animators from shrek working on it.

Don't get me wrong, I still consider myself a fan of Forza, I'm just a little disappointed that their biggest new feature is a movie editor. I was hoping they were going to do more to progress the series.

And once again you have nothing to say but your garbled trash talk.

When they decide to show GT5 footage they'll show it.
Still though I think they both look great, not buying either mainly due to the fact that I'm not that in to racing sims.

I mainly stick to Burnout. :D

Now you read that carefully and tell me if that's an opinion or fanboy trash.

Not that I expect you to tell the difference since your no better than him.

It's funny how the Forza fans are saying they both look good. GT fans are saying only one looks good. The movie doesn't lie. One gets called vibrant and colorful. The other gets accused of being CGI because it looks close to real life.

If there was no such thing as GT I would say Forza looks incredible. But instead we have another Killzone vs Gears battle and we all know how that one turned out.

1.23 - Vibrant.
For the cars - possibly. But for the game (i.e. environment etc.) vibrant kind of seems off. Everything apart from the cars... look pretty bleak.

A lot of the GT5 trailer was CGI dude. No one said they think it was CGI because it looks real they said it because its CGI lol.

Forz3 just looks better compared to anything claiming to be gameplay in GT5 http://www.youtube.com/watc...

LOL says the expert you i bet anything hasn't played GT5 Prologue. Because if you have, then you'd know those graphics are already that good in prologue. Interestingly enough, alot of that forza footage was cgi, as was confirmed by turn 10 themselves. And it STILL doesn't look better then GT5

They both look good and about the same. Anybody that says otherwise is a fanboy. I think these games will distinguish themselves in other areas apart from graphics.

The funny thing is this kind of reminds me when KZ2 was shown in CGI then went above and beyond the capacity of what the CGI trailer was.

You guys are making yourselves look like morons when you say Forza looks better than GT5 when nothing from GT5 has been truly shown.

I traded my '05 in for it. I am now waitiing on SPT to make more stuff for the '08 so I can mod this one up. I love it.

One a side note....I would love to see what dragons car looks like and I would love to see his >4 banger go 0-60 in 4.7 seconds or handle .95g's

First half of the trailer they showed GT5:Prolouge footage. Second half they showed the real GT5, and i must say it looks almost real life. Forza looks good but it looks fake. And by fake, i dont mean "not realtime" i mean it doesnt look real.

Also as been said earlier, GT5 have 16 cars at once vs 8 in Forza, and GT5 runs at 1280x1080 vs 1280x720 on Forza. Pretty much beaten in every single area.

I really think both games look amazing! That being said, GT not only has way more cars and tracks but did you see the environments in the GT trailers? The environments blow Forza away, Forza had flat grass textures.

haha Some of these comments are classic, this video says it all, loud and clear....Forza 3 stepped up its game from Forza 2, to compete with GT5. Whats funny is they used GT5 CGI footage from the rally/Nascar trailer....thats kind of odd.

So in this case YES, Forza 3 is vibrant.

As for which of the two looks photorealistic, that's obvious.

By continuing to insist that its CGI you are proving my point.

I don't know if it's CGI but neither do you because neither of us has actually seen in game footage.

However, the reason you believe it is CGI is because it looks so incredible in the first place.

If Forza looked better you wouldn't care or even bother to accuse GT of using CGI. Case in point GT fans don't care that some of the Forza footage is CGI even though Turn 10 admitted as much.

1.44 - The difference is immense.
GT5 is virtually photorealistic while Forza 3 does a great job within the limitations of the hardware. In the end, it's simply not even close.

1.46 - I agree with 1.1
in terms of graphics, they both look stunning, but does anyone disagree the GT5 has more realism in the cars.

But graphics won't really matter when it comes to gameplay. They won't matter because they both look amazing, only after we play both will we know which is better.

you can't tell which game is better by looking at the previous games in the series

I honestly don't know how any sane person could possibly honestly say that Forza 3 looks better than GT5, it's just not true. Take off the fanboy goggles for a second and be completely honest with yourself!
There is absolutely no question over which game looks better.

Wow just shows how much more detail is in Forza3 than Gt5. For people claiming that Gt5 is a sim, i never been in a car that slows down as much as a car in Gt5 pro in taking a turn. Seriously though the lack of detail in Gt5 is just......well.... i am not going to say it. I mean at this point if you have pop ups in your racing game you need to go back to the drawing board *cough* Gt5 pro* cough*, i could care less if it runs at 1080p or not the lack of detail is kinda sad.

1.49 - Both games look fantastic
I played GT5P and I agree with those that say it looks photo realistic and some of this footage shown here is from GT5P and not GT5. Polyphony Digital has gone on record time and time again saying GT5P is not GT5. GT5 will have increased resolution, better textures and a rock solid frame rate.

With that said Forza 3 is a leaps and bounds upgrade over Forza 2 and I look forward to seeing it in motion on my display. I am a big fan of both and will pick up each launch day.

This will be my first time using a wheel for Forza 3. I pre ordered the Fanatec Porsche 911 and a new c0ckpit just for Forza 3. I have a G25 and playseat evolution that I used for GT5P. Having the best of both worlds is where it's at! When it comes down to it I know both games are going to be awesome fun for me and that's all I care about as a gamer.
