Well, I have the GT4 demo and Forza demo..
As much as I wanted Forza to beat GT4, I am not thoroughly impressed about Forza.
Granted that it is older demo.. I can see where people and gamers will complain about..
They got to work on the handling and controls. I am trying to control each car without locking wheels and crashing but it is almost un-doable.
I've driven real cars at high speeds and lock up wheels but I am able to steer atleast, in Forza, basically you can't steer when they lock up.
The controls are very stiff and offers almost no feedback as to what the car is exhibiting. Enter an apex and try to rotate the rear of the Skyline GTR and all you get is the front washes out and the car runs straight into the sand...
Compared to other Xbox racers like TOCA2, PGR2, SegaGT2k2, Forza's controls are probably the worst right now. They are pretty close to SRS, which is pretty telling..
Graphically, it doesn't look as sharp and smooth as Rallisport 2 or the smoothness of PGR2, it has a lot of jaggies, probably needs more AA in the finish product but on my HDTV it looks too bright and colorful, lacking in color depth. Of course GT4 uses photo images to artistically create the scene but it is more effective than Forza's crayon colored skies and images.
If you look at the car's rendering, the Subaru, Skyline, and EVO needs work, they look almost like they were straight out of NFSU, animated cars rather than fully rendered.
I'm very dissappointed so far.
Don't call me a PS2 fanboy, which I'm not. I've logged in more play time on Xbox Live than on my PS2...
