    GT5 is huge... I know lots of people who doesn't care about video games but will get a PS3 when the game launches because they're huge Car fans. that WANTS a real driving simulator.

    not some arcade shit like forza. wich let's be honest if Forza was multiplatform noone would have ever talked about it. Xbox fanboys are just hyping it because they think it can compete with GT5.

  • You - 15 years ago

    when... exactly another fine point when indeed... the last GT the cars handled like dogs, realsim wasnt there at all. the only people that say its realistic is 12 year old kids that have never driven a car...

  • Sam - 15 years ago

    That's sad. biased polls are not needed to see GT5's awesomeness. It has 800 cars (compared to forza's 400), Regular touring racing, WRC (rally racing), Nascar (for those who want it), 96 tracks, and the game just looks better. period.

    Turn 10 can go on and on with their ridiculous lies, but when GT5 comes out, the truth will be told.

  • You - 15 years ago

    So because turn 10 know what there gamers want thats wrong, companies that dont support there followers are obviously not in tune with there gamers.. a bit like GT's cars (Not in tune) get it

  • Sean - 15 years ago

    Turn 10 is bribing people with a contest to throw this poll off.

    They will never be able to hold a candle to Polyphony Digital though, Gran Turismo is the racing sim king baby!

    That about sums it all, vote for forza and get something for free? WTF is this?
    GT all the way baby, long live the king of racing sim.

    Too many flamers and trolls in this comment section (most of them are Microsoft fans and a few Sony fans) who have no idea what they are talking about and have probably never played a racing game properly or have never played a sim racing game ever. I am going to buy both games because a true gamer does not have one console and one option, both consoles are good and I am sure both games will be similar but have different features from one another. I actually feel sorry for all you fanboys who get to experience only one, you give a bad name for gamers WHO ACTUALLY PLAY VIDEO GAMES. Forza 3 showed more of their game at E3 (especially game play footage) while GT5 just had a trailer which was cool and showed Nascar and WRC. .

    Forza 3 showed more and got my vote but I'm sure GT5 will be amazing and we will hear more about it in the coming months so don't write GT5 off just yet.

    Who ever says Forza 2 was crap just cant drive, I have played both, and the realism in Forza 2 compared to GT4 is noticable, I wont be buying GT5 thats for sure, also its not just about the game but the community, and the Forza Community is great. + Turn 10 seem to really listen to us the Buyers, I really do feel Forza 3 was made with us in mind rather than just money...

  • Enforcergodx - 15 years ago

    well well looks like gt is made of crap finally ps3 is gay for once

  • radbow - 15 years ago

    FORZA 3 is BALLIN!

  • Dylan - 15 years ago

    A lot of you are comparing Forza 2 and GT4, then just making assumptions about what the new games will be like. Nobody's played GT5 and Forza and knows what the physics or gameplay will be like. I voted for GT5 because I find it completely unfair that Forza is winning based on false information, and that some forum or something is offering free Forza DLC to vote for Forza on this poll. What complete bollocks. It would make me incredibly happy for GT5 to win this poll considering all the crap that Forza devs keep spewing about it.

  • Andy - 15 years ago

    I have played both previous incarnations of both forza and Gt and for pure gameplay Forza comes out on top whilst on visuals Gt does . but on the visuals aspect Forza have closed up while Giving lots of tracks and cars and I honestly cant see Gt Beating it so Sorry Forza for me

    Andy

  • Ty4on - 15 years ago

    Why have so few here really tried Forza?

    Forza is unplayable with a controller? Why do so many prefer it? Many track records in this game has been set with one!

  • CORE GEL (I am a PRO!) - 15 years ago

    First of all Gran Tourismo's physics engine has always been 3rd rate. Its comparable to an xbox arcade racer. The only thing simulation about Gran Tourismo are the graphics. The cars in Gran Tourismo do not hand anything like they should not to mention car setups dont make significant differences like they do in Forza. Forza 3 will out sell GT5 (if it ever comes out) and is an overall much better, and far more complete game. Yes GT5 looks great but Forza looks just as good now. The biggest difference between GT5 and Forza though is the community, GT5 has a small fanboy following for the most part, however Forza is a whole community of all kinds of different talented people. Including racers, hotlappers, painters, tuners, producers, etc. GT series has clearly been overtaken by forza as the #1 console racing brand.

  • Displace - 15 years ago

    I remember when they were comparing Forza 2 to GT 5. Now they're comparing Forza 3 to GT 5. In another 2 years they'll be comparing Forza 4 to GT 5.

  • Kimo - 15 years ago

    @ME: you'r right it took GT series 5...yes 5 games to ''try'' to get to Forza 3...so basicaly...Forza did in 3 games what GT tried to do in 5...and again 5 games...do the math before trying something!!!!and before you try something on me too...i do have a PS3 and a 360 and i played both game!!!

  • RSI XXX - 15 years ago

    FORZA 2 is the best and now FORZA 3 IS THE BIG BEST !!!! real race , real hlc , every real !

  • Displace - 15 years ago

    I vote Forza 3, because it will more than likely be released before 2012.

  • Shandy - 15 years ago

    I don't understand the posts saying that Gran Turismo is the better game, because it's more "realistic" or has better physics. You guys have no idea what you're talking about.

    These people either haven't played Forza on full sim, or they have NO CLUE that Forza's physics calculations FAR OUTCLASS Gran Turismo's. Not only are the physics in Forza 3 well beyond GT's, but the AI of the cars you race against are NIGHT and DAY better.

    Forza 3 should, and hopefully WILL win this vote. Yes, GT does have a better lighting system and better looking car models in the end...on average...but it is NOT the better SIM game and overall package (going by GT:P of course). Not to mention...it's not even out yet..let alone having a release date.

    Those of us that run cars in real life, and have played both series of games to death...we'll take Forza's physics, feel, and depth of gameplay any day.

  • bus pucket - 15 years ago

    How good a game is depends on more than just graphics XBOX is more in touch with gamers than sony and thats why FORZA is such an innovative racing sim with tuning, racing and painting the forza 2 community is still going strong and the next title is already here. I used to be a big fan of GT but the wait between titles is unecessary when you can put out a game and then add to it with DLC like microsoft will do rather than puting out half a game like the proloque titles from polyphony

  • Ninja - 15 years ago

    iv played the gt5 demo and forza 2 the physics in gt5 demo feel sluggish with every car and forza 2 feels more real in the way the car reacts to the driver
    now it pissed me off when sony sells $50 DEMO!!!! as it were a full game i say demo because in gt4 you could buy upgrades but in the gt5 demo no and in gt4 more cars way more cars and gt5 not much at all lol now for the people that compare forza2 and 3 against gt5 and say gt5 has better physics then they have never driven a real car to know what it feels and looks like so they have no right to compare the two and be closed minded about the two

  • jason - 15 years ago

    There is no doubt in my mind which game will emerge as the best console based RACING sim... Thats Forza 3, everything that forza 3 has to offer (what we know about already) looks to be just a cut above; physics, damage, player customization, actual racing, community feedback and consideration by turn 10. Not to mention forza will actually be released!!! I really feel for u ps3 boys having a game that has taken so long to be released and then before release to be out done by the competition! just go get yourselves an xbox there only 150$!!! ha ha

  • Wes - 15 years ago

    Both are going to be great games, I just wonder if we'll see GT5 before the end of 2010?

  • Adan - 15 years ago

    Gran Turismo 5 seems to be a better game.

    I dont know, just watching the Forza 3 trailer then the GT5 trailer.

    GT5 seemed to take the cake for me.

    GT5 has EVERYTHING now that Forza 3 would just be a small sample. :)

  • Me - 15 years ago

    @NOMUKEN : Okay, GT came out in '98 ... Forza in 2005.

    So basically, it took Forza 3 games to get to where GT 5 is (GT4 came out in 2005, so 2 games).

    Overall, YOU'RE WRONG B!TCH.

    And GT5 is better than Forza 3 in every way, shape, and form !!!

    Way better visuals, Damage, Day/Night Transition, NASCAR & WRC (not to mention F1 amongst other official race cars)

    And is used by real, let me repeat that REAL, Racing Drivers.

    And theres a GT Academy.

    GT has been here since 1998, on the PS One, Two, Three and PSP.

    So

    Basically

    Forza,

    well ... Forza just fucking sucks.

  • Amir - 15 years ago

    Until Gran Turismo takes into account tire deformation in their physics, Forza will remain the superior racing simulation.

    Forza even takes into account the time of day and the temperature of the race track surface. Gran Turismo 6 might compare...but we're gonna have to wait a while for that.

  • NOMUKEN - 15 years ago

    Its Taken Gran Turismo 5 goes to get where they are in 3 Forza is already ahead especially in Mods!

  • Nat - 15 years ago

    I have both of these games. I must say that there are different reasons as to why to like both of these. I liked Forza for it's customization, damage, and all round quality. I liked GT5 Prologue for it's amazing looks and attention to insane detail. The reason as to why I voted for Forza 3 was, the only thing I didn't like were amazing graphics for Forza 2. Looking at Forza 3, they DO have those great graphics now. It seems as though Turn 10 has kept what they needed to keep, and made better of what needed to be fixed.

  • Josh - 15 years ago

    I liked the Forza series, and seeing what they are offering to the table in the new Forza and Im liking it. Including all the other games coming out this Fall!

  • Trance - 15 years ago

    I Didnt like Forza 2 if im honest for all sorts of reasons but the E3 demo of Forza 3 left me speechless it really does look like its going to be a Amazing Improvement over Forza 2, & at last a cockpit view for us Real Hardcore Racers!

  • Matt Byrne - 15 years ago

    I've been with Gran Turismo since the very first game, but for me personally whilst the GT series stagnated, Forza came along and put that fun back into the console sim genre. The poll is currently 50/50 and that is about right; both of these games will be very good.

  • retro - 15 years ago

    GT 5 for me, i like forza and forza 3 looks as good as GT 5 prologue, a two year old game, im not saying thats a bad think cause that game still looks the nuts. but the new video for GT 5 looks even better and it now has damage, look at the subaru in the vid looks good. as for game play GT has always offered the best most detailed gameplay of any racing game, forza is fun and i will be buying the third one but GT is where my heart is

  • Jack - 15 years ago

    @andrew H.:If being realistic depended on damages, then according to that logic, Burnout is the most REALISTIC game (I don't agree).
    Gran Turismo 4 did have a penalty for crashing into walls and other cars. It was a handicap mode where if you hit the wall or another car, your car speed was delayed for 3 seconds. Most people don't know that.
    Forza 2 had better physics than GT4, but Polyphony knew that the PS2 controllers wouldn't be able to handle real physics, so they didn't put it in (fingers aren't good at controlling braking and acceleration levels). That's why GT4 was more fun to play with a controller, and Forza 2 was just frustrating. Forza 2 was more fun with a wheel and pedals.

  • Andrew Howson - 15 years ago

    Forza, in my opinion, has always been better. Its has more inventive tracks ad is far more realistic as the cars can actually gat damaged, roll over, and become un-drivable, like in real life.

  • Simon D - 15 years ago

    I love both games , I found the gran turismo games more hardcore than forza but forza 2 is just so playable with great physics damage and so on. I will buy both forza 3 and GT5. I think that GT5 will be amazing simply because they are adding the top gear test track and everyone is a budding stig ... It'll turn into the best ever online competition seeing who is the fastest round the track , Bring it on . I hope its compatible with my logitech g25 wheel because that will be the most realistic experience ever.

  • b-rad - 15 years ago

    How can you honestly say that gran tourismo is more realistic when clearly forza has better physics and game play and by the looks of pictures and videos comes close to graphics as well

  • Andrew C - 15 years ago

    Gran Tourismo has, and always will be way more than graphics, the physics in it are insanely good. Forza is great if you want flashy cars that you can make look pretty, but no other driving game does nearly as good of a job as GT in the realism department. I honestly can't believe more people think Forza is a better game...

  • Jeremy - 15 years ago

    @Andrew: I actually didn't like Forza because of their 'shiny' cars. What I mean is, Forza can't seem to separate the difference between the shiny hood and how the headlight shines. Sometimes, it all blends and looks off. Furthermore, some cars in Forza looked half-assed. Some cars looks like someone used the 'paint-bucket' to redden the tail-lights, whereas some cars looks spectacular. It's not a good idea to render a car so badly when you have really nice cars in your game. It just makes it the more obvious.
    The cars in Gran Turismo are more consistent, and I believe that overall, GT captures the essence of automobile racing a lot better.

  • Andrew - 15 years ago

    I've been a Gran Turismo fan since GT3 and didn't take to the Forza franchise right off the bat. I remember trying the Forza 2 demo and walking away bored. What bored my about the Forza 2 demo was the lack of shiny cars and it's dead looking demo track. But after giving Forza 2 a closer look (I bought the full game months later because of the many favorable reviews), I really started (and still do) appreciate what they have to offer.

    Forza Motorsport 3 appears to have finally put the layers of polish it needs on the cars, tracks and menus to stand up to and possibly surpass up coming Gran Turismo 5.

    My the best and most fun overall experience win!

    Andrew
