continued from post 132 i defended this game for ages only now i see little point as it as just an extension to forza 2 i cant see it as a new game so now i like many will wait for a truely new racing game only its on ps3 (sorry to any 360 fans but GT5 will crush forza 3) yep GT5 is the racing game im waiting for and im hopeing its nothing like forza 3 (better graphics, better cars, better choice of cars, better priced cars, better looking environments ect ect) forza 3 reminds me of playing vrally 3 on the dreamcast the sceenary by the side of the track surrounded by a wall disguised as trees. 60fps is nice but not if it means less cars on track or limited graphics, turn 10 need to make a new game engin for forza instead of useing one from the first xbox and just upscaling it.

sorry but it looks to me that there are just to many GT fanboys that just wont accept that forza 3 is a great racing game and i havnt heard or seen any commnets from microsoft or turn 10 stating that forza 3 has better physics and graphics than GT but to say no one pays better if any attention to detail than what GT does is clearly dumb GT has great physics and yes there is lots of detail in there but turn 10 hasnt just bolted a small amount of detail, at least they have tried to make a comparable racing simulation rather than a complete copy.

instead of defending GT and slating any racing sim that comes close to GT in terms of detail and physics accept the fact that as one game pushes closer to GTs depth and detail GT will just get better and better other than the fact that forza 3 is only on the 360 and GT is only on the playstation so whats the need for all this debate about physics and detail when the two games are not even on the same console.

oh look post 127 wants a job working for sony and polyphony digital stupid fanboy heres a fact for you, no one cares about GT5P or GT in general forza 3 is on the 360 and GT5P/GT5 is on the ps3 so no 360 owners realy care about your comment no matter how much of a fanboy you are.

i also like the way you contradict your self by saying youll wait for a real racing game to come out where there are loads already unless your forgetting about GT5P so i guess thats not a real racing game either lol.

oh and i hope tvg took note of your ip adderss so the US govenment can sue your a.ss for pirate material and illegal downloading of copy right software (youll probably download GT5 aswell cause your that much of a cheap skate)

To the dude who said the GT series has poor physics, I have one question; Have you evr driven a real car?? I have been lucky enough to drive some high end vehicles, and GT5P has better physics than this rip-off(Forza 3) has. This game basically has the same cars! And no one pays any better attention to detail than GT does, NOBODY! PERIOD! It's not opinion, it's fact! I am severely disappointed in this game(Forza 3), mostly because its lack of detail. It's the little things that count, which is why Forza 3 doesn't. This game should be an arcade racer. I am glad i didn't buy it, just downloaded it. I'll set my $60 aside for a real racing game, whenever it comes out ;)

If you read my post again PROPERLY you'll see that i said "GT5 prologue was an over priced demo & Shift is only slightly above mediocre"

Then i said "Forza is a SIM not a arcade gimmick racer", my implication was that by marking it down for not having lots of gimicky modes ("drift" & "rally challenges") that are more commonly associated with arcade racers, that you are trying to compare it with something it's not trying to be.

On top of that you make the new OPTIONAL rewind out to be a negative because you have no self control? 

Hardcore race enthusiasts like myself will never use rewind but better reviewers than you have pointed out that rewind along with the many assists make the game more accessible to novices without impacting on the hardcore race fans.

"Referring to Shift as an arcade racer just shows that you haven't actually played the game."

As i've already stated, i didn't actually call GT or Shift arcade racers but i can tell you i have played all the games i comment on, i OWN GT1 through GT4 on PS1 & PS2, i've rented only rented Prologue for 2 reasons,

1. I've gradually lost interest in the series because as stunning as the graphics always are in Polyphony Digital's games, they still haven't properly addressed the same old problems such as dumb AI, poor physics no damage modeling, Forza is easily my favorite choice now with great physics, superb handling & pretty good AI.

2. Prologue was over priced for what was little more than a demo.

Back when i used to buy every race game going i owned all the Need for Speed games up to Underground 2, since that time i have played, rented or demoed just about every other version including Shift which you'll notice i rate as "only slightly above mediocre", i have a much harsher opinion of Undercover, ProStreet etc.

So disagree with my views by all means, i certainly disagree with yours, but don't try and tell me what i have or haven't played because i dare say in my 40 odd years i've played more driving games & most likely driven more cars than you.
