GT4 vs Forza [Let the battle begin]

[kinigitt]

What is operation flash?

a realistic style war game.

not pretty when you think about it. but gritty and real.

 

[code_kev]

Operation Flash Point is a superb first person army shooter. It looks damn realistic at times, if VERY VERY tatty.

 

[cobragt]

Hmm, I like realistic war games, can you give me a link to the game site of give me a site with pics?

 

[kinigitt]

Yes doom3 looks unrealistic but damn it looks amazing, forza doesn't so dont try and use doom3 to make your point.

forza is a pretty game. watch the gameplay vids.

Cobra, www.codemasters.com

It's DIRT cheap, I got it and every expansion pack for 8 quid.

Forza is very pretty in the vids.

 

[cobragt]

And how many vids is this biased comment on? Forza runs at a steady 60 fps with 1080i progressive scan support and full on 5.1 surround, how can you say it runs smoother?

forza runs at 30fps, not 60. The dev's want to use fsaa to the max for that game and I haven't heard of it using 1080i

Looks good but not amazing to me.

 

[code_kev]

Cobra, look past the fact it doesn't look quite as realistic, and at what it DOES have.

that doesnt make a game ugly.

GT4 doesnt even come close to running in hi def.

they dont even support progressive scan.

For someone bashing a game on trivial technical limitations, it's kind of funny you're such an avid supporter of gran turismo.

If gt4 used pscan, the effects ingame would look ugly. 60fps is where it's at. I want my game to look silky smooth.

exactly. So what was all that gibberish about anti aliasing and 1080i?

Are you just throwing things around hoping they will stick?

 

[cobragt]

I haven't heard anything about forza supporting 1080 and who cares if it supports 640, it will still look good at best to me.

maybe you should reserve judgement until a later date?

As far as I know, no games on xbox or ps2 support anything over 720p.

 

[code_kev]

Kinigitt, the simple fact is that this idiot has made his mind up on a game for 2 simple reasons.

1. It's not gt4
2. It's not on the ps2.

Tripleplay, there will be 8 cars on track in Forza, both online and offline. So now you won't tell there are 16 cars on track anymore.

See ya

*Forza is 30 fps, 480p and FSAA, same as PGR2.

thanks for the vids.

car seems twitchy, like pro race driver. not good.

stunning graphics though.

 

[livemusic]

FatAssBR, how were these features when you played em in GT4?

Will it be better then gt3, well frankly, this biro is more fun then gt3

Did I said anything about GT4 having those features? I don´t remember that....Oh, I know, it´s because I don´t say that a game is gonna have some features well done when I haven´t played it yet.

Yes and this is a big disappointment. Even RSC2 runs with smooth 60 frames with antialiasing in single player mode.
I would prefer 60 frames instead the FSAA. Maybe they add 60 frames for single races.

 

[TriplePlay]

quote from ign:


"Running at a crisp 60 frames per second....."

Maybe it's too old and it's been updated, but who knows...?
And BTW, we've already established the fact that I was wrong about the 16 cars thing...

 

[code_kev]

Well if they played it and were fooled in to thinking it ran at 60, i think it bodes quite well.

 

[TriplePlay]

Sweet. I checked out those vids....very nice 👍 already 5 times better than GT3

 

[code_kev]

TBH they looked abit poor, but that was down to the fact it looked like it was filmed through a "make great images look crap" lense, but I've seen other vids where it looks bloody great.

 

[cobragt]

It doesn't run 60fps, ign was wrong like spong when they said forza ran 20fps. The game runs 30fps. the sense of speed is great but you can really tell the game is running at 30fps.

 

[S t e f a n]

Well if they played it and were fooled in to thinking it ran at 60, i think it bodes quite well.

I played it at Games Convention and it looked like 30 frames. It is quite different to a game with 60 frames.
RSC2 runs smoother than Forza.

 

[cobragt]

Nice vids, but the game just looks average to me.

 

[code_kev]

ahhh oh well I'm fully aware of the difference, I was just hoping it seemed smoother

 

[kinigitt]

Nice vids, but the game just looks average to me.

I dunno... the average game does not look that good.

 

[98cobra]

thanks for the vids.

Beautiful, but yeah very twitchy.

 

[Methadonmann]

I can't understand why so many users give Cobra such a big "show-stage" here in this thread.

I would prefer that the discussion will get back on a level, where FACTS of the different games are decisive for the "posting-behaviour", and not just rumours added with a very stubborn behaviour.
