Personally I like forza better for my racing sim needs. However, until xbox360 lets me use my g25 steering wheel I'll keep waiting for GT5 to come out. I'm guessing it'll be a big release party and they'll have a playable copy of Duke Nukem Forever to play along with GT5.

That December 29th date is BS. Cmon think about it when have they ever released a big name title right AFTER the holiday shopping season? If it's even close to being ready I think March '10 is more likely. But in reality they'll probably just release this as a launch title on the ps4.

If it does get released in March 2010 in Japan it will be 6 months before it's ready for sale in U.S. That means September 2010. If I had to bet money on it that would be my guess. One more year sweet!

What games in recent history that were slated for a worldwide release took 6 months to get to the US from Japan??? It will be a month TOPS. probably closer to the 2 week mark. Don't take my word for it though...It's not like I've been spot on in this thread before.

Gran Turismo has some nice competition. YouTube - Forza Motorsport 3 Fujimi Kaido Reveal Trailer - Featuring Team Blackjack (BLKJ)

that video is great.. i loved some of team blackjacks work they did in the original forza. can't wait to see what they can come up with in forza 3

el oh el

It makes me laugh harder and harder each time this game gets pushed back.

I'm gonna laugh again when it gets pushed back to the next holiday season.

it's about time but still waiting.

All GT5 cars get damage, here's the link All Cars Get “Damage” in Gran Turismo 5

im assuming 'everything' has had to be rewritten from scratch for the ps3 hardware in order to showcase the ps3 platform... and they couldnt reuse or tart up any of the old code or even graphic files?

I love how you hate on this game regardless of it's unique quality and how this game doesn't give Forza 3 a standing chance to even breathe near it. Regardless if your tired of waiting for this game or your a Forza fanboy, this game will be the BEST EVER! You tell me why I'm wrong. :gtfo2:

Judging from the past release dates of gran turismo I'd say its somewhere between 1 to 3 months after its available in japan. 6 months would be more likely for a RPG that required a lot more localization such as the FF series.

for those 360 owners forza 3 demo is out on the marketplace for a free download.

Who are you, Cleo? What are your credentials for predicting the future? None? Thought so.

meh, it's an effing video game my life will go on if it comes out earlier or later than dec 26th.

Yeah so how does the pwnage taste? Raw? Thought so.

What does that mean? Nothing, seeing as how the GT series has been selling since '98 and has like 6 different games out compared to 2 Forzas.

But thanks for posting that up... shows that Forza 2 stomped GT5P in critic's ratings. Also shows a downward trend in the ratings for the GT series. Good job Cleo.

GT5P is basically a demo...When's the last time you've seen a demo of a game SELL 3.15 million copies at $60 a pop?

Also, 9.4, 9.2, 9.5, 8.7(GT5P is not included because it's not a full release). I fail to see how up, down, up(highest), down is a downward pattern. If you had argued that the latest release of GT did much worse than the 1st 3 of the series, then you would have a valid point.

Oh, and if you average out GT series, they average 9.2. Forza only manages 9.15. I like how you try to compare a full game to a game that only has maybe 15% of the total content...But hey, at least you can live life knowing both of your precious Forza games scored higher than GT4 in the critic's rating. Congrats on beating the least innovative game of the series, lol.

I thought I killed this thread.
Well if you want my real 2 cents they're incredibly similar games with the platform only being the real difference. And seeing as I can only afford one my choice has been made.

Awesome! I wonder if there will be any way to make the cars LHD instead of RHD? My only other observation is that the in-game 370Z must be modified, because I don't think burying the speedometer in 4th gear is possible, unless the photo was shot after a 2-gear, potentially gear shattering downshift.

LOL you seriously lack in the intelligence field which is mainly responsible for your failing brain. This fanboy nub doesn't realize GT5p demo sold 1 million shy of Forza 2 full game. I'm just curious how you even think your responses are any where near relevant. He compares critic scores of a full game to a demo.

While your at it make sure to clearly read the sales chart. Every GT has averaged 10 million sold. Your Forza has 5 million total in 2 games.

You are a sad and pathetic person indeed. You should be medicated ASAP.

Don't waste your time, he's a fan boy who doesn't understand common knowledge. He'll probably call you a name like he calls me cleo, since he knows he get's owned on every response.

Here's an interview all GT5 haters can suck on when the day comes and GT5 breathes into our PS3s.

Note. No release date yet, but every question is answered pretty well. Vehicle deformation all vehicles, tracks, day night racing, fully customizable vehicles, Nascar reality etc etc. check it out.

Yamauchi Interview Reveals More on GT5 Development

I have not read all the pages in this thread, but have had a lot of seat time with both games. The physics on Forza are waaayyyyyy better than GT. GT looks waaaayyyy more clean than Forza though, and they have good force feedback steering wheels (G25), which gives them the win in my opinion. What's the point of a racing sim without a USB FB steering wheel?
The buttons on the PS3 controller are pressure sensitive, but the wheel, pedels, and FB take it to a whole new level of simulation. Pair that with a sim cockpit, and digital TV, and the fun factor goes waaayyyyy up.

I think Prologue was a cash grab that was way overpriced for what we got. I was more than seriously disappointed with it. Polyphony really has taken too long to bring this game to market. Every fall the rumor mill starts that the game is coming for x-mas, or spring, and it never does. I agree that this launch has been an epic failure. You can't drag out the launch of a game for 3 years, unless the game is going to be the second coming.... And I truly hope that it is. I hope they finally get the physics right, and that it's not just a re-hash of GT4.

All that being said.... I'm sure I'll be in the sim seat in time attack mode the first week it comes out.

Your opinion is exactly what I respect, I don't want to argue points and go search up topics to prove points. I'm glad you see the two games the way you see them and have an honest opinion about both. In my eyes I believe GT5 will change video games and racing sims to the point we have wished to see. PD have the all the credit and sales to prove it, but with 5 years in the making i'm am more then sure this game is not your average game. This is a game to set new limits TRUST ME I promise you.

here is my take : forza simulates and shows MANY more physical interactions between road and car... however- they do not have a physics system thats precise enough to actually make the car behave as it would on a road... my problem w/ Forza - they try too many things which makes it unrealistic but w/ GT you get incremental differences which have been carefully calibrated / tested

I love GT5 physics by a mile, Prologue outplayed Forza in every aspect, critics rated it low bcuz it was a demo. GT5 will shut everyone up, just the date is hard to bear.

HOLD ON 1 second, is that a worldwide release date? Holy koala bears Amar was right!!!:excited:

Gran Turismo 5 demo Dec 17 yeaa boy

Gran Turismo 5 Demo Hits December 17

no gt5 on the pc right ?

Personally, I think it comes down to if you have a PS3 or a 360. If you have a 360, Forza 3 is the game you should grab. If you have a PS3, you should be pretty excited for GT5.

I see people yelling over which is better all the time and I just roll my eyes. As someone who has played both series inside and out... yeah. They are pretty much neck and neck.

no unfortunately not, i heard rumors of a future port. I don't think Sony would give up exclusive rights of Gran Turismo. The Demo will be out Dec 17 with a release date of march 30 2010. I'm buying GT5 and BFBC2 that month yay.

thanks... i think i'm going to just pass then... oh well
