CNET.com Poll: Forza 3 vs. Gran Turismo 5

I don't think this is the right forum section for this thread.

Edit: and I didn't vote. That poll is stupid.
 
Check out the trailers below in HD, cast your votes, and get your fanboy on with your comments.

This is why fanboys exist, because of ill-suited encouragement such as this.

All I see is "Gran Turismo will be better because of this and that" and "Forza FTW!"

Idiocy. Why can't we just enjoy both games for what they offer themselves? :yuck:
 
The pole is pointless, until BOTH games are out you can't say what one is better. Even than there won't be a better one as each one will probably do something better than the other.

Well, it's not necessarily asking which is better, but which do you want/desire. I'd assume it's GT5 for you. No doubt, though, if I had an Xbox 360, I'd buy Forza 3 as well.
 
I actually plan on buying both on the day they are released(depending on my finances). So far about 90% of my gaming life has been between those two game series's.
 
Well at least they're actually comparing it to GT5...that should be something.

At least they're not comparing it to GT5P like the ridiculous Forza 2 v GT5P comparisons.
 
Im loyal to the gt series , gt for life and i had both the previous forza games on xbox 1 and xbox 360 they bore me realy quick , gt5p is not even the oficial game and i enjoy it same as the first day
 
PD gave us too less infos so the first round goes to FM3... but I´m sure GT5 will be the winner if I get this title in this life...
 
At this stage, we don't know enough about GT5. We saw a trailer and that is it. We know much more of Forza 3 and you can't compare two games if there isn't enough information.

Let's wait till both games are released and then vote which is best.

I agree with you completly, until more info is released on GT5 or maybe even until both games are released, there is no way you can compare the two games properly. So right now the only perpose of this thread is pointless speculation and there is enough of that already, so maybe this thread should be locked.
 
What's the point of all this GT vs Forza rubbish?

Those with a PS3 will get GT5, those with an Xbox 360 will get Forza 3. They don't compete with each other for anyone other than fanboys or people who own both consoles - and if you do own both consoles, you would probably end up buying both games anyway.

Exactly, I own both consoles and I'll be buying both.
 
If I had to go on video's I'd go for GT5's, purely because it shows me more than the Forza video.

GT5 is the master in most areas, but feature wise, I'd have to give the vote to the guys behind Forza, they have definitely raised the bar in that respect. GT5 has yet to prove that it has matched or even bettered Forza in features. Here's hoping that that GT5 will! 👍

I agree with this aswell, I do actually own both consoles, although I haven't been on my XBOX360 in a long time. I will as you said probably buy both, but i'll wait until Forza 3 is cheaper before I get it, just as I did with 1 and 2.
 
Forza dev blog post claiming that the GT devs were playing Forza 3 and asking questions of them at E3 2009. They also decide to take a jab at the GT series by saying that it has been "stagnant since GT3".

Quote from: http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/b...e-road-to-october-looking-beyond-e3-2009.aspx

"Perhaps the most surprising to me was when a couple developers from Gran Turismo makers Polyphony Digital came by to personally get hands-on with Forza 3, all the while taking careful notes, examining our UI system, shooting photos, and directly asking us some pretty interesting questions. The reason I say I was personally surprised was because PD aren’t generally known as a studio to acknowledge that there are racing games that exist beyond their own. Which could explain why the GT franchise has been so stagnant in the racing genre since GT3. So it seems competition is good for the consumer after all. I know for a fact that Turn 10 will never stop pushing racing games to the next level."

If you live and breathe cars, you'll get both. Period.

Or...spend you're time, money and efforts on real cars?

Yeah, Forza has always kinda brought "features" to the table. And while they add to the playability, I've always felt that for driving, GT brings more. Damage seems kind of moot, as well as the collision physics, because they both do them poorly. Turn 10 has exaggerated crashes and done them for oohs and aaahs and PD just said, "well, if you don't crash, you won't notice anything is wrong."

Have you played Forza? :P The crashes are rudimentry at best... GRID and burnout do crashes for oohs and aaahs, Forza's are simply as a punishment for driving badly and for the most part aren't spectacular at all. And regarding the "if you dont crash, you wont notice anything is wrong"... when was the last time you had a race where no one had contact, even in real life its pretty common that not every car reaches the finish line due to crashes.
 
Not that this poll actually means anything (especially to me as I'll be getting both games and will probably enjoy them both just as much) but I thought it interesting that Che (One of Forza III's Devs) has gone on the Forza forums posted a link to the same poll and offered free unicorn cars to all those who vote for Forza III !

http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/forums/21/2632637/ShowThread.aspx

I've gone and registered my non vote as I think that this kind of thing is only fuelling a pathetic fanboy war that doesn't need to exist and now T10 are trying to rig a meaningless poll by using bribes.
 
So Forza devs are "buying" votes.. Now I have seen it all.

These threads at GT forums is what they want.

If the devs are willing to give out free unicorn cars for votes, hell yeah I'd vote that game :P Shows the devs are at least involved in their community, which is always a good thing.

You guys see them as "bribing", I see it as having a bit of fun with what was a pathetic poll in the first place. Good job to the Forza devs for turning it into something that benefits their community.

I call it marketing without class, they're not doing all this for fun, they're doing it for marketing purposes and it is working.

BTW do you work for turn 10?

Agree on the first bit.

Disagree on the second bit, I have seen a number of Wolfracers post's and while I thought that initially, he seems pretty unbiased towards either game really. 👍
