just played it for a bit.... Turn 10 did tried really hard to compete with PD.... but they failed at some really minor details from what I noticed... yes, they have reverse lights....BUT... they can't even get the California's brake light to light up correctly... if I'm ferrari, I wouldn't be too happy about it. it looks like they just rushed it and forgot to look at the details.
what I think of Forza so far is that its a fun game, but the developer definitely didn't put the heart into the game, but rather made it to please the community.
They did what you people ask for... especially in terms of car selection, one or two cars from the entire model to represent the line up. ie One single R33 GTR to represent the entire R33 Skyline line up... etc I could list a lot more examples. I want choice, not being forced into what they think its best.
I can't say i'm disappointed in the car selection in F3, what I don't like is that they base the cars from a certain region only. I mean, they have the Euro Civic Type R, but not the JDM FD2 Civic Type R. or not to mention there are no R35 GTR in the car list (could be because the car is co-developed with PD) From what I noticed, PD seems to respect auto manufacturer a lot more compare with any other racing games out there. especially in terms of authenticity. Every car in GT5 have the original model designation logo as the license plate. like the one manufacturer put on during car shows.
Car tuning in this game again its still a step up over GT series especially with the exterior customization. This alone would allow me to spend the most time into it. Especially when I can show off my customized ride online its something I really like about Forza. I loved it when in Forza 2, i used a stock 300HP STI with real world tuning philosophy and kicked everyone's ass in the Class B range and people kept wondering why their 450HP turbo upgraded EVO wasn't able to keep up.
I'm definitely looking forward to this game in the next couple of days, its still a fun game and it will be a good choice to ease the pain of waiting for GT5 until next march. But as a GT5 competitor, its far from it.
