FORZA MOTORSPORTS 3 DEMO An Opinion from a GRAN TURISMO 5 fan.
Ok lets get this out of the way first.
this will be a long post so if you have a short attention span just leave.
after Completely dissecting Gran Turismo 5 Prologue since march 2008 and eagerly playing the recent X-Box live Demo of Forza 3 here are the thoughts of someone who owns both a PS3 and a 360 and has had ample time toying with GT5 Prologue and the Forza 3 Demo.
just delete Need for Speed shift, Dirt 2 or whatever else was in your Live queue like i did because on October 27th 2009 PGR 4 ( formerly THE BEST racing game on any console ) will be handing its crown over to Turn 10 because as of this writing Forza Motorsport 3 will be EVERYTHING that Dan Greenwalt and turn 10 said it would be plus.
weve heard the hundreds of Idiots on the Blogs and Internet apparently upset with Turn 10 because Forza 3 doesnt look like Reality or whatever they were expecting.
my answer to this is,
# 1 are you playing Forza on an SD tv or an HD TV with less than 1080 output.
and # 2 if not please go see your Optomitrist A.S.A.P!
Forza 3 is beyond anything i ever expected from Turn 10 studios ( and mind you, i was NOT a fan of Forza 2, it was a great game but Bizarre Creations PGR 4 took the crown of best racer back in 2007 ),
so imagine my surprise to download the Forza 3 Demo and imediately not be impressed.....at First.
because for one i am not a developer and i have no clue that for the first time in a game i was looking at TRUE High Dynamic Range Lighting that seemed so bright my eyes were bleeding.
i had never seen reflections that Weren't canned and Textured Trees and rocks that weren't 2D cut-outs, or a game that paid as much minute detail to things such as Tire Flex and Flowers on rocks and a draw distance to nearly infinity as much as they paid attention to the cars.
the graphics in Forza 3 if i could be so blunt are Epically Beautiful in their scope compared to what Polyphony digital has done with GT5 Prologue.
yes, let me explain...
ive dissected GT5 Prologue for well over a year and YES, the lighting on the car models are Unparalleled, as is the London track around Piccadilly Circus, it all blends together with a tricky blur effect and camera mode that keeps your eyes on the Beautifully detailed cars and off of the repetitive racing mechanics and blurry eyesore textures of every other track that isn't London.
ive watched the beautiful HD videos of the London track and the 2d back dropped My space pages and its all well done and Anything a Gran Turismo fanatic could ask for from a $40 dollar demo disc,
and its all completely Boring and Yesterdays news compared to what Turn 10 has glimpsed us with in this 1 track 5 car demo that i haven't been able to put down since last THURSDAY!
I am in No Way a Turn 10 fan, ill ALWAYS love Bizzare creations more, there i said it.
but Forza 3 is BEYOND even the opus that was PGR4 and YES children its BEYOND your prescious car and lighting simulator called Gran Turismo.
thanks to the Unresponsiveness of the SIXAXIS controller i NEVER felt like i was driving a real car.
the proceedings all looked good, but something is always missing with Gran Turismo's Interface,
in Forza 3 the rumbling of the Ferrari Carolinas engine was enough to wake me out of my Lethragy and treat Turn 10's latest work with the respect it deserves.
in GT5 Prologue as i wound around the Sazuka track and rammed into 4 cars the illusion was immediately broken by Physics that resemble a bumper cars.
in Forza 3 i had the Real feeling that the faster i went Unassisted that there was REAL Jeapardy around every turn, Fear in a racing game? Well, try to hot dog it in the Audi R-10 and be immediately rewarded with a spectacular Wreck.
a Winner in the contest of which game was a Lighting simulator and which game was a DRIVING SIMULATOR was ended Almost Immediatley.
then there were the graphics that made my 1080p Tv screen Bleed.
Che or whatever his name is said his eyes didnt bleed at Forza 3's graphics, well mines did.
Forza 3 is like a generational leap on the aging X-Box 360 and its just the DEMO VERSION.
we STILL haven't seen the New York track or any of the 99 OTHER tracks in game.
as far as all the complaints, i just have to say you all are IDIOTS.
Idiots who i will GLADLY give my copy of GT 5 Prologue to because turn 10 frankly has done the impossible.
they made me a true believer of all the hype that Dan Greenwalt was pushing at E3.
On October 27th when Forza 3 receives nearly Universal acclaim from every gaming site on the internet all these graphics whores and complainers and Turn 10 time wasters will be giving Turn 10 a well deserved apology.
id like to give Turn 10 my appology now.
now excuse me while i go and finish eating this big slice of Humble Pie Mr Greenwalt has shoved down my throat and play through this 1 track 5 car Demo that i cant put down.
amazing Turn 10, simply Amazing.
