Another LFA pic from GT5:

You're being serious aren't you? The LFA sounds nothing like the way Forza makes it sound. I haven't heard it in GT5 yet, I don't think any of us here have. But it looks ten times better.

Sounds like a sewing machine in the Forza. Absolutely terrible.

LFA's engine in Chris Harris' words goes "absolute potty" after 7000 rpm (in other words, becomes very high strung and strained) while the Forza video LFA sounds like a weed eater motor even at 9500 rpm.

That's pretty awesome... that said, I still refuse to pay for any of this downloadable content. I mean the fact that they want us to pay like $5 for each of these packs is just absolutely ridiculous if you ask me.


Based on info released about the game, that's already not true, which is kind of disappointing.

Fewer exotics, fewer tracks, no full paint/decal customization system (which is huge for me personally), who knows how much they improved damage and AI, but they were unimpressive in Prologue. Forza 3 has quite a few things on GT5. I think by next generation, Forza may be the clear winner... but they still lack quite a few things right now (weather effects, nighttime races, and graphically GT5 wins the battle).

I mean I respect GT5's physics engine, and the game is stunningly beautiful (which is important for a racing game), but I think PD spends a little too much time making billion-polygon car models, and not enough time on other aspects of the gameplay.

Hey guys, you know I work with Lexus Mag, and I wanted to share some cool photos of how they prepped the LFA for the cameras.



Check the rest of the photos and story out here and let me know what you think.

Yeah we saw that in another thread.

GT will always be better than Flopza. Sorry it's the truth. In Flopza the cars seem to float on the track. The handling is atrocious. Permanent steering assist? That's not a sim! That's a sham! As well as charging out the *** for cars that should be included with the game. They can't even ACCURATELY depict half the cars in the first place. Flopza is nothing compared to GT5. Already there is videos of GT5 that blow anything Forza3 has out of the water. I suggest anyone who questions this, hit up Youtube and type in GT5.

another rant i've heard from people is how unrealistic GT is in the sense of damage.

Beats me as to why some people are so concerned with that factor, but at least you'd think the GT developers would've included more realism in that after spending years and many delays making this game;

at 160km/h into a wall, a car would be decently smashed, not just scuffed up paint wise.

forza is the same but the hood would be crushed and the front bumper would be gone.

Does GT5 have "simulation" damage? It's sort of a misnomer, but you know what I'm talking about: where you can damage various components of your car in a crash. Or is the damage in GT5 just cosmetic? But yeah, that would have been a good amount worse of an accident in Forza 3.


Heh, based on reviews so far, most gaming publications seem to disagree with you. As do I based on what I've seen and played.

But then again, you DID just call the game Flopza... How can anyone who comes up with such a brilliantly deprecating nickname be wrong?

You mean the one's that are paid by Micro$oft, like IGN? Yeah I know. I bet Forza and it's 9.5 out of 10 makes it such a better game than GT5. So every car has a cockpit view. One's that aren't even accurately depicted. How about that 'perma-steer' steering assist? Can't turn that off in Forza can ya? Nope. I'm sure Forza appeals to SOME people, but GT appeals to a LOT of people. GT5P outsold Forza 1 2 and 3. In other words, it's Flopza, because it's supposedly the 'best thing out there' in terms of racing games huh? Why is it that it has trouble even selling more than 3 million copies? The graphics are bland and dull, the replays look like a cartoon, the suspension does nothing for the car, there is no pitch and roll in any car at all, they all drive as flat as a board. That's what you call a sim? I'm not saying it's a BAD game, but it's not GT. Sorry, while this may be my opinion, it is shared with millions of others. GT sales are over 50 million from 4.5 games. Forza is what? Forza 1 had 1.5 million, Forza 2 had 3.5 million, and now Forza 3 has hit about 2 million as of early this year. Compare that to GT sales. 9 or 10 million for each game besides GT5P, and that even sold 4.6 million. One game from GT has outsold every game of Forza combined. I'm sure my view and those statistics speak for themselves.

just because it doesnt sell a lot doesnt mean its a "flop". 2 million is a repectable number still. ever heard of gtr 2? thats a racing sim. i couldnt find the sales numbers on that but i know for sure it didnt sell more than gran turismo but it is as sim as you can get. but i guess it sucks cause it didnt sell as much right?

That is amazing. I thought it was a real life photo at first.

I called Forza a flop because they say it's the best racing sim/game there is. It's not. Not in terms of sales and not in terms of realism. GT isn't the realist sim there is either, but from a developer standpoint it has gone where other games only follow. Without GT there would be no Forza, NFS Shift, etc. GT opened the door for racing games, to say otherwise is wrong, Forza to me is a flop since they claim it's so much better than everything else. Permanent steering assist? That's not sim, that's a sham! Same with the rewind feature!
