OMG... Gran Turismo 5

Does Forza 3s Storefront count as an online capability?

If it does then thats probably the only thing Forza beats GT5 on, when it comes to online.Because beyond that its just racing, i doubt matchmaking and the actual online stability will vary much between the games

[dasoupdude]

After reading all the posts, I still can't figure out why FM3 will have better online capabilities?

<--- wonders the same thing.

Maybe they just cant stand the jazz bgm in the menus.

HOT ****!We have been waiting on this game since #4 came out.

I heard they have held the game back, because all of the fanboys want Ken Blocks car in the game

After reading all the posts, I still can't figure out why FM3 will have better online capabilities? Do you think that GT5 won't allow you to buy and sell cars at auction? Will you not be able to race against others? Are these things only capable on an Xbox? Unless there is something IDK...

Not only that I have read that GT5 will allow people to watch F1, D1, Top Gear and other programs.

Also I apologize if I came off kinda strong in my first post.

I'm assuming people are saying FM3 will have better online is because Xbox Live has a stronger online community , whereas PSN is free and not as strong because it is up to the developer of the games to set-up online races.

I slightly agree with this. I have GT5 Prologue and I rarely have a problem getting into a match online, but I have had my issues with PSN outside of this game.. So no one really knows how the community is going to be, but from experiences with other games FM3 may have the upperhand.

I am very excited about GT5 and GT PSP.

Me no care about Forza. I don't play online, it isn't simulation-ish enough for me, and there is a distinct lack of obscure 50hp kei cars, lol.

The whole damage modeling thing is dumb. When a car slams into a wall during a race, it's out of the race. The ability to keep driving with accurately-modeled collision damage is totally unrealistic.

It should just be: If you leave the track for more than a few seconds or hit something (more than just a tap), the whole race is instantly over and you lose.

This is how Tourist Trophy works, and I think GT5 should work the same way for the sake of realism.

nothing excites me more than passing 16 cars at the hiighspeed daytona ring in a cappucino! lolagreed about the crash damage, at least in NFS-prostreet the damage affected the car and eventually lead to break down depending on how severe it was. taht game sucked, btw.

has anyone in here ever hooked up a PSP to the PS3 during GT5P gameplay? ive read you can use it as a rear view mirror or something like that? anyone tried this...

okay beeches!!!!somebody move this to the gaming section where it's supposed to be. I have played Forza 3 for at least 2 hours and also have played GT5 prolouge.....so far it's Forza. j/k both games are awesome....I can't wait to see the final build for both games.....and then we can have some discussions. This is a GT5 thread so let's keep it that way, k?

All you PSP owners better get your GTmobile copies....this way when GT5 comes out, you can transfer all of the cars you bought in your PSP to your PS3. I gues this way people can start with their car collections already. I will be buying a PSP for GTmobile. I think it's wierd that the game comes out in Oct.1 when the bundle comes out on the 20th of October. Oh well, I just pre-ordered the game at Amazon.com to get the free Ferrari, plus no tax and free shipping

Your wish is my command.

PS: Hope I'll see you sometime this week in New Mombassa for some anti-Covenant co-op.

Ok then NFS Shift > GT5

I don't know that I'd go that far, but the new NFS is more solid than I thought the new generation of EA's "Let's milk a franchise for all its worth" attitude was capable of. I've only played it for an hour or so over at a friend's but it was easily the most solid NFS I've played offering since Porsche Unleashed, though Most wanted is such guilty pleasure for me. As a cheesy theatrical title is great.

Well Apart From Collecting Every Car And Beating The Endurance Races (Which Most Just Hire The Driver To Beat) I've Beat Most Races With No Assist And Starting From Midfield.

If you'd outfit & tune your car better you wouldn't have to start from midfield. I don't turn off the ABS auto trans shift as I've been to lazy to hook up my wheel and I hate shifting on the controller - I really need to unbox my wheel & pedals one of these days.

Its no small wonder that you don't have all the cars, as you have to earn All Gold in the Endurance Races to unlock some of them for purchase (or just win them outright when you beat some of the races). Speaking of which, you also haven't gotten the All Gold Professional Series or the All Gold Regional Championships either (or All Gold Arcade, but that's understandable - but you need it to get some of the cars), so don't pretend like you've completed most of the game. The Endurance Race series is the deepest and most rewarding part of the game, and its hard to imagine making an accurate comparison between the Career Modes of the two titles without having fully explored one of them.

And anyone that's hiring a driver to complete races is only cheating themselves.

Also How Many Gamer Point To I Get From Beating Landon, One Of The Main Producers Of The Game?

None, unless they made it a new Secret Acheivement. We're talking about completion here, not who you beat.

On to the games...

With Sony's history of claiming rendered footage as gameplay footage (E3 2005 Killzone2 "Demo" ring a bell?) I'm not making judgements either way until I get hands on with both of them. It has already been show that a lot of the "oooh, ahhh" graphics that have been touted for GT5 are "look at my pretty car" photo shots and not actual in game footage. From what I've seen both of them look stunning and you can't go wrong with either, gameplay, career mode and online play will be the difference makers.

Eh, it only needs to look so good. As long as I can see make out the tall tree when I'm heading into Karussell its all good, I don't need to make out individual leaves - I won't have time to appreciate them.

Im guessing Forza will have the better Online, not only because live is a better platform(debatable) but because of all the emphasis they are putting on Community this time around.

We havent seen any matchmaking vids, but im guessing it will be the same as FM2 one, which was awesome enough.What has been added and definitely gives FM3 the edge over GT5 is the StoreFront.

If you havent seen the StoreFront yet then you probably havent seen any of these videos either so give them all a view http://www.gamespot.com/search...movie

GT5 seems like GT4 with prettier graphics. Forza 3 looks like they have completely reinvented the series and added a multitude of features.

While i dont think GT5 will suck, i dont think it will be enough game to compete with Forza 3.But then again, im also an eXbox fanboy.

Release date for Japan is March 2010, nothing mentioned about the rest of the world.

^ I've waited and waited patiently for years and this was finally the last straw that broke the camel's back. I no longer care about GT5, i mean sure , when it does come out in 2030 i will pick it up and love it, but i no just no longer care its coming out, I've had my expectations up for so long now i dunno if it will ever live up to the hype. GT5 better be mind blowing considering its taken them 6 f*&%ing years to make and they still havent come out. I wish Forza 3 would make a PS3 release, bulls*** how xbox always steal our PS3 exclusives but we never get Xbox exclusives

[Dittoz7]

Cool, Maybe Forza5 And GT5 Will Get Released The Same Day.
