GT4 vs Forza [Let the battle begin]

[code_kev]

That´s weird, a Xbox owner telling a PS2 owner to stop being a graphics whore.

Excuse me? I own both

Dude where you been?

I know no-one wants to read the entire 85 pages of this thread but..those pics are from weeks ago

I know you do. What I meant was that normally Xbox has the advantage on graphics.

2. I'm still not impressed with visuals, that vette looks so out of place in that pic. GT4 the cars coenside with their backgrounds and blend in well.

Let me get this straight, you want the car, which is in the foreground, driving on, not in, the track, to blend in? What, you want the car to go hide in the grandstands? Or maybe stalk the first place car from the tall grass? Face it, the graphics are fine. I mean, maybe if you were gonna have photo mode so you could save your video game car, that you don't own or drive, onto your computer and show your "girl" how cool you are, then maybe you'd need better graphics. I just want it to drive realistically.

I noticed the lighting effects between the car' scenery and track look more realistic in gt4, but gt4 is damn near finnished. Forza's not gonna be out for another freaking year. almost same thing almost w/ inthusia. So why in start comparisons now when its coming out a while freaking year after gt4 on a different system? because we are freaking bored. i.... need.... gt4 o, and i havent seen any comparisons between real life and GT4 like i have w/ inthusia. the motion of the car looks pretty impressive. I'd like to see someone do the same thing w/ gt4 to show off how realistic the motion of the car is.... Is it Enthusia or Inthusia?

There has been real life comparisons, look at the track times, however the comparisons between the real car and the one in enthusia can be seen as more important since they show the cars behaving in the same manner. You can get equal lap times without the cars handling the same.

Forza Motorsport

[Dave A]

i mean side by side vids showing the cars moving almost the same exact way. I dunno if its just me but the cars dont seem to have enough body roll.

 

[Nizar1980]

How many polygons are the cars of Forza and GTR made of ? ( I expect somewhere around 11k , but they don't look convincing though )

In what, GT or Enthusia, becaus in the enthusia vid the two cars did the same thing and responeded the same as well, so if there was more body roll, then it would've been more than the real car.

 

[kinigitt]

which again is just an animation issue.

enthusia looks pretty cool to me.

so does forza.

GT4 looks fantastic comparatively, but looks are just looks in the end.

Good thing he asked today. One very energetic sales associate told us that there's a special demo disc coming our way very soon. According to the pimply-faced associate, anyone who pre-orders Halo 2 before November 9th (the game's official release date) will receive a Forza Motorsport demo disc. That wouldn't be such a big deal if the game was still slated for a November release. But the same sales associate told us immediately after that Forza isn't due out until January 5th of 2005. WTF?!?

I already preordered the halo 2 collectors edition, but this is good news indeed!

It's good to see how Forza is being represented here, kudos to Front, Code and others!!! 👍

now run for the hills before you are stabbed with pitchforks and roasted with torches.

Many mags have said Enthusia looks good and captivates speed, but the game just doesn't responsd well, and that aside from it's focus on motion and looks, it really lacks as a racing game so far...when it's done we'll see, but I'm not too excited about it.

 

[Dave A]

I've read previews that say it feels like GT, maybe the races arn't exiting ie dull AI and tracks but I've read and seen in vids that the handling is good.

 

[erahk64]

Some new Forza pics.

 

[cobragt]

Not impressive at all. That gt4 trailer spoiled me, sorry.

I understand completely....

Forza's online play will spoil me rotten, have fun against GT4's obviously flawed AI

 

[dunkee]

Some new Forza pics.

Nice pics...especially this one. These Forza guys are not very original though. They just take the exact same cars that GT has...straight from Prologue This game looks really promising though.

 

[Dave A]

This is the one big problem now with this type of sim, it's happening in Enthusia as well, all the best cars have been seen before, most likely in a GT game. Thoes pics are good, exept for that yellow Supra, but thats probably a bad screen cap.

 

[code_kev]

Umm they take the cars from prologue because it's based on real cars . It's nothing to do with originality.

Nice screenies, more please

Causing trouble! GASP!

If GT didn't pick these cars to be in the game Forza wouldn't have either. Those guys probably didn't even know JGTC existed...but you're tellin me that out of all the cars in JGTC, they just happen to pick the exact ones that are in Prologue Don't be a moron.

EDIT: minus the ugly yellow Supra. They were real original w/ that one

 

[Dave A]

dunkee, thats one of the stupidest comments I've heared, it happens a lot. You tell Kev not to be a moron and yet your the one making a dumbass post. It's down to the available licenses, if they can get a license to a JGTC Supra, you'll take it if you have any sense, I suppose GT4 has ripped of R:Racing with the BMW McLaren, a sack of potatoes could have made a more intelligent post.
