I knew someone would mention it, have you actually played those games? That tire wear was pathetic and predictable. Plus, as far as I remember, was only enabled during endurance races?

( And why did you create yet another account, don't you get bored of it? )

Uh, but the thing is it had tire wear, its not something Forza invented (neither did GT, but you get my drift).

yeah. Forza has had tire wear too, just like the ancient F1 game on PC from before Forza was even thought of.

The difference is that Forza 3 uses accurate real physics for the tires. to calculate air pressure, friction, contacts surface and wear from all of that. Not a pre determined formula determining wear and grip simply from time and speed driven.

^^ The thing I'm getting at, proper physics based tire wear > Static, pre-determined tire wear.

Not only that but Forza 2 had brakes heat up as you push them hard before the turn.

Just to point something out to those mentioning it, Forza games do have a driver and it'll no doubt be the same in FM3. Not sure why they left him out in the screen though.

The driver is there in some photos and not in others.

basically in photo/shot taken during an actual race will have the driver, the ones without will be taken with a photo mode, or they have a new option during photo to not have the driver there.

but yeah, in actual racing at least all cars have a driver, and from the video a very well made and animated driver.

Wow, old screen shot (GT5: Prologue) VS new screen shot (F3). :no:

I personal don't think that screen shots will help me make a decision. I have been a GT fan since the first one released and I still try every other racing game that is released. I tried Forza 1 and 2, but they did not intrigue me. :/ I will be trying both GT5 and F3 and making my decision on which is better that way.

GT5 car has way more detail. Look at the windows and headlights.

You're confusing textures and glare with details.

and as had been said the lighting is completely different. the GT5 car in in a position where it has light bouncing off of it leaving lots of speculars and reflections.

The Froza car is in a "gray sky" day without direct sunlight, but almost exclusively skylight, skylight notoriusly creates flat lighting and don't give any specular highlights and can make glass (like the headlights) pracically featureless.

No, because they both suck, while only GT sucks :p

Yeah, when it revolutionized Racing games, it suck. :rolleyes:

I am going to be surprised if is going to be better than GT5 actually. As I said in my last post I will try both out still.

I really don't see why this matters at all. If you have a 360 then you're gifted with Forza 3 which will be amazing, and if you have a PS3 then you're gifted with GT5!

It's a win/win situation, and if you have both a PS3 AND and 360 then look out for reviews or rent both before buying a copy of either, if not both!

Oh no doubt about it and I give them full credit for what they've done.

But I've always hated the GT series, long before the Xbox/360 were even on the scene. I don't even class it as a sim game because of the terrible handling.

Well personally Froza, I have never liked GT and as far as I know GT does not have customization like Forza and no cockpit view. Plus we can now flip cars and have realistic physics for tires :D I am sold on forza and have been playing it since the first game which still looks pretty damn good for a original xbox game :) BTW if you goto the Forza site they have a in game footage video and it simply looks amazing.....

Since it's better?

Have you played GT5 and Forza 3? you can't tell which is better at this early stage. It's fair to say Forza 3 has serious credentials to blow GT away but we don't know for sure. GT5 is still a wild card, until we have both FINAL versions available and then you can sit down and tear each of them apart and decide which is better...while your doing that, I'll be picking them both up and enjoying them for what they are :p :happy:

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      All these CEOs got the biggest boners thinking about firing employees for AI. Turned out it was just a wet dream.

      And the fact that the majority of people from Poland are white European Christians while the people you are complaining about in post after post are not is just a coincidence... Every sentence in your post I am replying to is racist nonsense. None of it is actually based on any facts whatsoever. All immigrants are seeking a better life too. It's literally the only reason they would risk everything and leave their homes, families, and homeland. They are working and contributing to the economy too, as you even admit. They get the same benefits your partner did AND that YOU are eligible for as well. That is one of the key things of the EU and a mark of a civilization. That is the definition of a society where everyone is given a chance, treated equally and fairly, and is judged by the content of their character, not their different skin color or which version of ignorant superstitious nonsense their parents lied about as children. Racists around the world said the same things about the Irish and Jews and Poles (like your partner) and...every other immigrant movement over the centuries. What's your family's heritage, by the way? Were your ancestors lied about with racist fearmongering crapola by self-entitled locals the same way as you are now? If someone like that said the same things about all people from Poland, like your partner, would they be right? Or would you want them to judge your partner based on who they actually were, not where they just happened to come from?

      Again, this is an irrelevant attempt to attack the messenger. The truth does not require any justification.
