Gran Turismo beater?

I wasn't expecting this game but it looks much better than the old one. 400 cars to choose from Shocked

the tracks look awesome as well especially the mountain roads, and the visuals Drooling

I haven't played gran turismo (the latest what ever it is) but this looks as though it could just beat it!

I've been watching the E3 coverage, Forza 3 looks pretty good. There's a new GT5 video out too (It has damage, but to what degree no one knows yet).

From playing Forza2 and GT:Prologue I think Forza 3 will beat GT5. The gameplay in forza if a lot better than GT5, even though it does sacrifice simulation, it makes it more "fun" to play. Along with customization of Forza and "real" damage, if I had to pick which one I buy this Autumn it will probably be Forza 3.

Watch out for need for speed shift, looks similar to grid with a slightly more arcade feel, looks good though.

GT5 wins purely for the fact it will have the Top Gear test track.

If you had any PC driving game you would have downloaded it already Smile

PC sim games beat all other driving games hands down. I paid £25 for rFactor but its about 200 games rolled into 1.

You just download the mod you want to play, from Go-karts to monster trucks, with every F1 to touring car series ever raced placed in between.

This week I R been mostly racing 2007 F1's at Monaco and the 1988 British touring car championship at Snetterton Smile

I had Forza 2 and spent nearly all my time using the livery editor and making cars. Laughing

You upload then to https://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/default.htm when on the xbox. You log into that site using your xbox live account and they should be there Smile

Look how long GT5 has been in development, I don't think anything will be able to touch GT5 when it's released.

Some forza 3 stats

Tracks/configurations:
Froza 2: 47
Forza 3: 100

GT5P: 7
GT5: Unknown

Cars:
Forza 2: 300
Forza 3: 400

GT5P: 76
GT5: 500-1000 (estimate)

Rez:
Forza 2: 720p
Forza 3: 1080p

GT5P: 1080p
GT5: 1080p

Car Polycount:
Forza 2: 100k
Forza 3: 1000k

GT5P: 200K
GT5: 200k (estimate)

Forza 3 for the win, 100 more cars and double the tracks, its so big I've heard it will ship on 2 discs, 1 of which you can install to the 360 hard drive.

This is really cool as they could have easily held it back and charged us for extra down loadable content.

This is why competition between consoles is good, the consumer always wins Smile

The car count will be used by many as down side to Forza, thing is probalbly 80% of them you'll never use anyway.

80% in forza or GT5?

GT always has a high car count, but that have A LOT of crap cars in there.

Forza sticks to the high end stuff you want to drive anyway.

Don't fancy buying a game drving round in a shitty ford escort Smile

Only thing missing from Forza were F1 cars, or at least F1 styled cars, like GT's Polyphony Digital cars.

Ok apart from the odd shocker, though I think I liked the 914?

But its better than the reems of shitty Daihatsu of varying model and trim

Daihatsu 2008 MXz
Daihatsu 2008 MXw
Daihatsu 2007 with th extra bolt on the fucking door handle

And so on Smile

You can't. Laughing

I just got Forza 2 and i'm really enjoying it, however what is the best policy, to keep modifying generally rubbish cars, currently plumping a lot of money into a Clio Cup V6 and a Lotus Elise 111s, or shall I sell them and buy better?

Cheers. Smile

I did the same a few weeks ago. I don't think there really is a best policy, it's just a case of whatever floats your boat. When you're doing the career races you can always pick the class you're racing as, so the slower stuff is useful for as long as you can be bothered with it.
