IGN UK: Forza Motorsport 3 Review

IGN UK writes:

Racing games are at the front line of every console war – whether it's Super Monaco GP versus F Zero on the Mega Drive and SNES, SEGA Rally versus Ridge Racer on the Saturn and the PlayStation, these rivalries have often gone onto define their native hardware. Sony's successes since the turn of the century have been underlined by Gran Turismo, Polyphony's phenomenon that's shifted over 50 million units in ten years, converting car lovers into gamers and vice versa.

I'm sorry but you guys are just as bad as the Ps3 fanboys. You can't honestly say that Gran Turismo will be crap. And if you do, then you are doing the same crap they are so just stop complaining and go play your AAA racer (when it releases of course no illegal downloading aloud).

Edit:
I'm referring to almost the same people on every article who are saying semi fanboy comments, then going to the open zone and saying rude and crude things about Gt and it's developers. For the people celebrating Forza success, keep celebrating as it looks fantastic, just don't in articles say crap about the ps3 fanboys and then go nuts about getting disagreess, i'm just sayin....

Nope, we're celebrating Forza's success, why do you have a problem with that because we didn't have any problem when you celebrated Uncharted's success? Where has anyone said that GT5 will be crap btw? Insecure much?

you know what ps3 gamers don't get to tell 360 gamers sh!t, they've been doing it too.

and you know what the funny thing is, most of the time there are fewer 360 gamers even bothering with reading the high ps3 marks...for ps3 gamers it's a sour b!tch for a 360 game to get even one.

yeah so ps3 gamers are even more sour....and these stupid phantom disagreeing going on is just the simple truth.

So because PS3 fanboys do it, it's okay too? Great logic there!

I can see why this site has become such a joke; Maturity is extremely non-existent here.

"We've all seen the gameplay on GT5p, and it isn't very impressive graphically or physics-wise. And despite all the waiting, we still haven't seen anything substantial on GT5. But GT5p being a prologue means that GT5 is not going to be very far ahead of GTp. Which means GT5 will, in the best case scenario, be a little bit impressive. As opposed to Forza 3's OMFG-that's-the-most-awesome-r acing-sim-I've-seen impressive".

"Given that GT5 Prologue is lagging way behind Forza 2 as a simulator, there's little reason to believe that GT5 will not be garbage next to Race Pro/ Forza 3 as a simulator".

look at it this way gt1 came out a wowed the crowd gt2 was just an improvment hence the lower review score, then gt3 came out on ps2 again wowing the crowds when gt 4 came out, again it was an improvment but didnt have the wow factor of the third game, the first games of gt on ps1 then ps2 wowed cause they done somthing noone had seen before but the folow ups are just improvments.

@ hex depends on where you get you reviews from, plus the gts have always outsold forza regardles of reviews anyway all i care about is getting my copies of both games cause driving games are my fav.

9.1 - Paid review? Don't be ridiculous
Forza 3 is simply a good game. I know that people don't want there to be any other competition in the face of Gran Turismo, but for the rest of the gaming population, Forza 3 will be a great alternative or companion (depending on your console ownership).

The only thing I could see that Forza 3 doesn't really overtly-capitalize on in comparison to its predecessor, is its graphics engine. Everything else is top-tier gaming bliss. Forza also has one of the best online integrations ever achieved in a console racing game, and a fanatical community to boot.

Are you serious? Paid bribes? If this were a PS3 game i assume you would be saying NO BRIBES here! Are you 5 years old? It seems to be a great game. Who cares what system it's on. Man your such a child.
Do you own Sony to really care and be personally hurt that a Xbox360 game is getting great reviews?
IT'S A TOY. You do not own Sony to care about what MS does. You do not own MS to care what Sony does. They are corporations that could care less of you.
This game looks to be great...and yes its on a system you hate because you are a fanboy. Grow up

12 - Great score for a good game with loud mouth devs.
I knew forza 3 was going to do well & this is good because I knew the GT5 2010 release was a good move. Polyphony will definately give forza 3 a run for its money & im expecting it to top forza 3 in almost every way. Both games will be awesome but i expect gt5 to get alot of perfect scores.

12.2 - Was that necassary?
I disagreed with you due to the fact that you crap on a game with nothing but positive things be said about it. Your "opinion and studied predictions" may come from where exactly? What educated place warrants GT to be bad exactly?
Please we don't need crap being said for no reason. Gran Turismo going by track record previews and the features we can see will do just fine up against Forza, but i do agree that it will be close. But as i said in another comment GT has the uper hand by having 6 more months of dev time to see what the compatition did and try and match or beat that of forza. But it will be an uphill battle cause forza is kicking but :P

They have a free pass to say such things because PS3 fanboys troll Forza articles, thus validating the same behavior if they do it. Eye for a fanboyish eye is the only way to go around this place....
