It's been about a month straight on Forza 3, so I decided it was time to load up my neglected GTP....:bowdown:My jaw just dropped after I looked at the home screen with my white 07' STI sparkling in the sun, paint reflecting the surrounding scenery. Oh my goodness I felt like I was walking towards the gates of heaven. The Menu music was playing in the background with the sounds of a soothing cool spring breeze.:drool:
I then proceeded to Arcade selected Suzuka and slowed the car to a crawling 10mph. All while admiring how amazing the detail was on this car and track for about 10 min then watched the replay twice. lol


Anyone else experience similar symptoms? lol

I'm pretty sure this thread is going to receive few positive comments mate, but on a GT forum I guess you may be pretty safe from being called a 'troll'. I do agree that the cars in the home screen in GTP look gorgeous. I remember seeing a picture of an F40 that looked quite exquisite. The boys at Polyphony certainly have nailed the uncanny car models, textures and lighting - since the original GT actually.
 
I started reading this in a confused state thinking you were talking about GTPlanet but rather you're talking about GT5P.

Maybe your experience playing GT5P again would be better posted in the GT5P thread.
 
Nope, I got bored of GT5P very quickly and haven't touched it for at least 6 months.

Why they made a prologue that forces you to race the same events over and over to progress is beyond me.
 
Going back to GT5p, the cars look better, as do the cockpits. It goes to show what kind of polish they need for FM4.

But I can't go back to GT5p right now because I am so used to the FM3 physics. GT5p feels so "dead" or "limp" now in comparison.

I am pumped to check out the new physics engine in the GT5 Academy demo.
 
After a month of Forza 3, I find myself often accidentally drifting in my Cappuccino in GT5P.

Thing is for me is that I have Forza 3 with the controller and GT5p with my wheel so yeah I always find myself go back to my white Amuse GT1 on High Speed Ring <3

Sure I get bored with it some times, but I keep coming back because the one thing about GT that I love is that I can pick a well tuned car, pick one of my favorite tracks, and just do a few laps. Then I'll watch the replay and enjoy that almost as much.

It's not about the races for me. It's about driving the cars and having fun doing so.
 
Forza 3 is for me, a better game than GT5:P which should be obvious considering what they both are. But when I just want to spend a little bit of time enjoying the driving aspect and not painting, tuning, photographing etc, I always fire up GT5:P. The driving, graphics, handling of the cars and physics are far better and more natural than Forza 3's. Well, the physics maybe not better or worse, because I do beliove Forza 3 has a brilliant physics engine under it's hood, the problem is the game always gets between your inputs and the physics with thoes driving aids you can't switch off and that's a killer to spirited driving in Forza 3 imo, GT5:P has it far more nailed.

Which aids can you not turn off.... may i ask?

Yea sorry my post is better suited in the GT5P thread.

No prob, I just moved it.
And renamed it ...GT5P

As for coming back to GT5P after FM3, well, I moved from GT4 to FM2 then FM3 and I'm waiting for GT5 (I mean the real game, no demo or prologue or preview or appetizer or anything) to be released before I'm buying a PS3.

I think he means "Steering sensitivity" ?

You can't turn off "steering sensitivity"? :confused:
I play Forza 3 with all driving aids off so I don't really understand what he means by "driving aids you can't switch off".
 
Beucase there are driving aids in the game that you cannot alter, driving aids that are there and you can see active through the games telemetry, but there is no option to alter tham in the game. You can drift a car and have the steering fully left (or right) and the wheel on the telemetry will be quickly adjusting the wheels angle left and right keeping the car under control completely independant of what you're doing and what the wheel on the incar view is doing. It's not complete control, you can still stuff it, but that assistance is there like it or not, and it's too pronounced and makes things far too easy in Forza 3.

to be fair, pretty much every game has some form of steering assist, you canonly be so smooth with a pad. But it's the extent that Forza 3's has over your driving I don't like, and with that in place at the level it feels it's at, I cannot judge the physics very well. If the steering assist sn't really that pronounced and I am just experienceed the core physics, thatdoesn't bode well for Turn10's claims of how great it is, because if that's the case I'd call it a sim for dummies. That's not implying that people who play it are dummies, but that dummies could pick it up easily.
 
I don't know what it is exactly but I can officially say that I enjoy the driving characteristics more in GT5P than FM3. Something about the way the cars handle suits my style perfectly. But I do find it very tricky in FM3 to get non super cars with super car power and upgrades on sport tires to drive properly. :ouch:

Wow you never played GT5P?

Exactly. Last time I played GT was in the beginning of 2007, and that was still GT4.
But in the meantime I've finished twice a Forza2 career and I'm now busy with a Forza3 career.
I had had my share of GT4 between March 2005 and January 2007 :)

You can still be a fan of GT if you play Forza 💡

Plus, GT fans don't have to buy the prologue games. I didn't buy GT4P but i bought GT4 and its one of my favourite games of all time.
 
I got back into GT5P after playing Forza 3 about a week ago (my PS3 and 360 are in different states).

I didn't care about the graphical difference at all (it is noticeable, even though my 360 has HD and my PS3 does not) but not at all important.

What did surprise me was the physics. Forza felt amazing when I played, and GT5P felt like a joke in comparison to me when I was playing Forza. However, going back the GT5P, the physics turned out to be a little better than I remembered, but still inferior. GT5P also reminded me how great online is. I didn't have live for the week I was on the 360, and even though Forza 3 is a better game, being limited to offline took a lot out of the races. GT5P was just as enjoyable, and it completely do to online play. However I suspect Forza with online will blow everything away.

I honestly didn't notice it. At the very least it wasn't worse than it is in GT.

GT4 prologue is different story man. PS2 owners already had gt3 on ps2, so you could have missed GT4prologue. When it comes to PS3 we dont have full gt game, the first came out gt5prologue, u see the difference? And giving time span of gt5p u cant say u r a gt fan if u dont have one!

It's much worse than in GT5:P, GT5:P still has progressive steering when you use a pad, but it doesn't counter steer for you at all, Forza 3's not only has progressive steering, which is fine, but it adjusts the steering slightly when you start to slide making the slides easilly controlable and recoverable. As soon as the car starts to get twitchy, instead of starting to feel on the edge of loosing control, like in GT5:P, things suddenly enter a safe zone in Forza 3. You can still push too far and screw it, but it's far too easy to drive on and just over the limit in Forza 3, and that's not because I've suddenly become an amazing driver since buying the game, it's because the game helps me and makes me look like one.

Don't get your hopes up, Online in forza 3 is one of the Magor thing's fan's of the series are complaining about,

In a nut shell. the bad.

Forza 2 style public lobbies have been removed. Replaced with the GT5p match making system.
Can not tune your car online.
No more system link.

Just letting you know before you experience it first hand.
 
Out of all the racing games I have GT5P seems to feel right , you know how far you can push , you know when you've lost control , the look , the feel , the satisafaction .
You just know how good this game is when you come back from playing other racers , and if this is just a taster of gt5 I need a box of tissues and a large bin on release day

I wholeheartedly agree. 👍 To me, Prologue offers a driving experience like no other.

Well, Jordan did, since he's the one who deals with promoting moderators. :sly:
I used to play GT as much as I play Forza now (which means several hours a day), and I'm hoping GT5 is half as great as we expect, so I can invest in a PS3+GT5 bundle. But shhhht, my wife is reading over my shoulder.;)

If u played gt5prologue u would be sure that gt5 gonna be fu***** awesome. I never played forza as of lately when I tried it in a store the other day. I must say that forza's graphics is inferior to that of gt5p, I must also say that forza's physics is not as distinct for each car as in gt5p, u simply dont see that much of a difference driving different cars like u do when it comes to gt5 prologue.

They say forza's car models are awesome, maybe, but if u compare it to gt5prologue u will understand that there are no attention to details., and the models are not awesome they are just great which is like 100$ cd player to hi end one, which can cost 10k, because there are so much technologies and efforts put into it, but still there are a lot of people, ignorant ones, who wont here difference :drool: So it doesnt make 100 bucks cd player as good as hi end one. As u may understand forza is 100 bucks cd player, great game, but not the one which deserved to be called gt5.

I was playing audi r8 (also tried many other cars) and was looking at the model in a game menu in forza and I looked at front lights (r8 has very distinct front lights' interior) and i didnt see what i was supposed to see, cause its far from real r8 headlights, just simplified crap, compare this models in both games, and u gonna understand what i am talking about.

Still its quired that u r moderator here, that u never played gt5 prologue and that u r big forza 3 fan and play that crap every day, and write on this forum that u do so, very quirred 💡
