So here it is, hopefully time again for the two biggest names in racing games to go head to head.
Forza 3 and Gran Tourismo 5
On the one hand Forza 3 has just sort of popped up, very little hype compared to Forza 2 (no show on speedtv etc) GT5 on the other hand has been known about for years but yet no offical release date has been announced, although its being said that the game could launch at anytime. Could it be that october might be the racing sim fans dream month?
Heres some numbers (subject to change of course)
Forza 3- 400+cars, 100+ tracks including the circuit de la sarth (aka LeMans)
GT5 - 500+ (hasnt been said for certain but its sure to be more than in GT4) same goes for tracks, Daytona and Indy are two biggies
Improvements on forzas side includes 10 times more polygons per car, improved physics (including visable tire flex as shown in the trailer) a true in car view and real to life damage.
GT5 gets a dashboard as well, damage for the first time in the series, and another first ferrari. As well as the return of rally (Now officially WRC) and NASCAR ( yep another series first)
Both games will have online play (another first for GT5)
Forza is adding more types of racing as well-drag,drift,oval.
Thats just covering the basics on the whats new bin on both games.
Forza 3 has been announced as 2 disc, while GT5 is at 1 right now, of course in the modern gaming world expect lots of little goodies to become available on your live/psn account shortly after launch.
So putting they're repective systems aside which will be the game to have?
After seeing the trailers I have to say I dont think graphics can be the deciding factor if they're not equal they're damn close to it.
Watch the trailers, check out the pics and give your thoughts.
Later
BTW yes I know its says of, it was an oops lol
