Forza is like GT4, but not like it. Its a bit like a slightly crappier copy...

Oh no you didnt...

Im sorry... I got so bored of GT4. There is no point to playing that game besides the semi-nice car models. Granted, there are more cars in GT4... FORZA blows it away in every other aspect. 3 to 4 cars in GT4 equals one car in Forza. GT4 can only compute 60 physics a second while Forza computes 240. Forza picked up where GT4 stumbled... I believe GT4 is like GT3.5... I mean, the shop I frequent was a hardcore GT fan... they played the FULL version of Forza and literally threw away GT4. If you played the demo... it was trash, play the full version.

Dont get me wrong, I cant wait for GT5.

Be glad for games like Forza, it makes Polyphony work harder.

I played both, and felt that GT4 felt a lot more realistic where as Forza just felt a bit flat. Graphics are slightly worse, and it just doesn't feel right. GT4 feels right in every way!

O_O

Are you serious?

The graphics in GT are flatter than my sisters chest! I tried to go back and play GT and I couldnt do it... FORZA has a hold on me. I think you should go back and REALLY play forza. I thought it couldnt be done but it was... GT was challenged and lost. The PS2 cant even come close to what the XBOX can do, even though both systems are outdated pieces of **** now.

When I say PHYSICS... I mean PHYSICS. When I say GT4 does 60 physics a second, there are only 60 different things that can happen in one second with Gran Turismo 4. With Forza, in one second... over 240 different things can happen with your car. I cant even begin to imagine what this game is putting the XBOX through... it has to not only render the millions upon millions of polygons for up to 8 car and detailed scenery at 30fps, while calculating the 240 physics a second, while controlling actual AI driven cars (as opposed to bs rail driving cars from GT), and having to render out a damage model for each of those cars.
