GT's physics engine really sucks
No it doesn't. It may not be the best but it does a lot of things well, and some things not so well. I definitely wouldn't say it sucks though.
GT's physics engine really sucks
Forza isn't what it should be.
Gran Turismo isn't what it should be.
Doesn't really matter if one "beats" the other - they're both below par.
PD chose to release on the PS3 and release at around the same time as Forza. That's their problem.what an awful lot of nonsense this thread contains... starting with the non-sense comparison video, obviously.
Next time I'll go compare 1980's Arkanoid with Battlefield 4 or Crysis
Anyone I've come across who raves about forza doesn't care about the physics. ZOMG you can even change pistons! Ok? But every car drives like a race car lol.
What are you talking about? This is completely irrelevant. The systems are totally uncomparable on so many levels no matter the game's launch date. Its like comparing PES 2010 on PS2 and PS3 when they were both launched together. Different systems, one is much newer and much more powerful.PD chose to release on the PS3 and release at around the same time as Forza. That's their problem.
GT is not what YOU think should be, it's what Kaz thinks it should be.Forza isn't what it should be.
Gran Turismo isn't what it should be.

Such a try hard. From what I've heard, Forza's physics are BY FAR, much better than GT6's physics. So go ahead and blindly believe anyone, even a little kid, that players play Forza for not its physics when I myself and others heard the opposite.The physics in GT6 are far better than F5. GT6 feels like there are more physical actions and reactions taking place. As if there is just more going on; ie suspension travel and the tires reacted to the road and vehicle.

How have you arrived at this bold conclusion?Forza is definitely less of a simulator than GT.

Its an opinion like yours, I think its a more accurate one than yours too (because you said "by far")How have you arrived at this bold conclusion?
What kind of people would question which is the better game in the technical aspect? And that includes the gameplay too of course (better visuals and no FPS drops). Having a much newer and much powerful system implies that the game has so much possibilities of being better, that it is not fair. Its like they wanted to trash the game on the older system on purpose (in this case, GT6)But people do compare in situations like that. They want to know how much better the game on the newer system is.
So it's based on nothing then.Its an opinion like yours, I think its a more accurate one than yours too (because you said "by far")
Then it's a real shame PD or Sony made the choice to handicap the game so much compared to its direct competition. Still doesn't mean it isn't competition.Having a much newer and much powerful system implies that the game has so much possibilities of being better, that it is not fair.
Hi, I'm 332i. Oh, sorry. Forgot every post shows my screen name. What are you doing liking forza then, if you're all about zeh physics?Hi, I'm Imari.
Now you've come across someone who likes Forza and thinks that physics are very important.
I've told you before, people on other forums have like-minded opinions on you, too. Even reddit. You quote my posts, expecting that I will address what you've written. We both figured out that was a waste of time a bit ago. Not even going to bother disecting the above. Your arguments turn into train wrecks lol.Such a try hard.

Its based on my impressions and reading many opinions (opinions of mature, non-fanboyesque people, who have knowledge about driving)So it's based on nothing then.

People get miffed over GT6 being on PS3. The sales were mediocre with GT6 on PS3. How do you think that would have gone on PS4, of which has very few games released and therefore - far far far far far far far less PS4s are in the homes of people, compared to PS3s, which are a dime a dozen. Putting GT6 on ps4 at that time would have made GT6 the last GT game and possibly the last PD game. Being released at the same time as forza is irrelevant. If someone has an Xbox, there is a good chance they bought forza5 anyways, because there are no other racing games that aren't just NASCAR or a cartoon for that console.PD chose to release on the PS3 and release at around the same time as Forza. That's their problem.
Congrats? And I am sure there are many, but not in the grand scheme, considering GT6 and upwards as far as physics go. Did I say there are not any people interested in Forza, who are not interested in physics? Nope, sorry. I said everyone I've come across who raved about forza, doesn't care about physics. Verbatim. Would you like to rave about how fantastically forza is masterpiece? If so, please tell us what is so incredible about forza and it's physics, sans graphics and sound. I want to hear you rave about the meat and potatoes.Hi, I'm Slip.
Now you've come across someone else who likes Forza and thinks that physics are very important.

Its not about handicapping, its about releasing the 2nd game of the PS3 platform which many people have (in comparison to the PS4) therefore many more people can enjoy.
Nice try though

GT3 is too long ago. The market is far different. PS4 hasn't kicked off anything like the PS3 did. Sales did well...no one uses them much lol. Consider the fact that they were working on GT6 before they could develop for PS4, too. Because you are not..@332i and @NixxxoN - Stop double posting, the Edit button and multi-quote features exist for a reason.
Right. So, like Tornado said, still nothing then.
If GT6 is so far in front of the competition in simulation aspects, you really shouldn't have any trouble at all explaining why that is.
It is about handicapping. PD might have chosen to release on the PS3 for the reason you suggested - we don't know that as fact - but regardless, as a first-party developer, we do know they've known and had access to the PS4 for about as long as any party could have. Not utilizing the power available to them is choosing a handicap. Deciding to up the resolution in comparison to a game that already struggled to hit its performance targets was also choosing a handicap.
Yep, because GT3 released within a year of PS2's release date, and that game was a definite sales failure. Oh, wait.
There is no upwards. There is GT6, a game which FM4 still has licked in most simulation aspects.

Forza4 licked GT6? Lol, ok. You funny, mang. I have no retorts for that, because it is that far fetched. Having played both and many other sims, that must be satire.
BTW, I'm on my phone. Multiquote doesn't work right for the mobile version with mine. Idk if it is my browser or what, but I'll just wait a few and see if more replies come or copy and paste.

-What would really be handicapping is releasing the game for the PS4, because of the PS4 system sales. Handicapped in revenue that is. Also the fact that PS4 has not free online compared to the PS3 is also handicap aswell.
Sometimes I have the feeling I'm on ForzaPlanet rather than GTPlanet, with all this anti-GT comments and pro-forza comments, its funny.
I wouldn't be surprised regarding rival vs seasonal events that FM5 has around about 5-10% of the entries compared to GT6 seasonal events. I will check later today to see entries for some of the events as it will be interesting to compare situation now.Irrespective of personal preference around Forza or GT offering the least-bad-compromise in terms of physics (I just say buy everything and enjoy it all), I will say one thing for staying power:
I ran GT5 regularly for 3 years, and Forza 4 likewise regularly for 2 years. I clocked up around 10,000km per year per game according to their indicators. In that time (before Forza 5 or GT6 release) I saw Forza's rivals challenges dwindle from 200-300,000 entries per month to barely 15,000 entries. GT5, despite being a year older, was still pulling an easy 100,000+ on each biweekly time trial. Sure, it's just one metric, but it's an easy one to check.
That level of commitment from the GT gamers is seriously impressive, even when everyone will admit that PD doesn't make it easy to enjoy GT with all the clunkiness of the interface and gaps in functionality. It tells me that a whole bunch of people appreciate the core gameplay (buy car, tune car, drive car, enjoy physics/FFB and pretty pictures).
I do wonder how many people play Forza 5 regularly just 1 year after launch, as compared to GT6. Anyone?
Did I say there are not any people interested in Forza, who are not interested in physics?

Good summary.If I had to describe my subjective experience of the difference in a short sentence, I'd say that Forza errs on the side of making the cars too frisky, and GT errs on the side of making them too stable. .
Lol I really don't even know how to respond to this. Plenty to say, but not worth the time to retort. I play GT6, but I'm not a GT franchise fan, let alone a fanboy before you outsmart yourself on that one. The upwards bit is true, because yes gt6 is it. I misunderstood, be cause I've never seen someone use the word upwards as a noun.http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/PlayStation_2 vs http://www.loadthegame.com/2014/10/12/ps4-vs-xbox-one-sony-keeps-widening-gap-passing-month/
The PS4 is slightly behind the PS2's uptake rate, though I'll admit the PS2's is skewed by the delayed worldwide rollout. That being said, 11.5 million within less than a year is mighty impressive for the PS4, and considering the utter dearth of racing games on it so far, one could only imagine what percentage of those millions would've grabbed something like the headlining Sony racing franchise. 50% of XBOne owners have played FM5, and I personally see no reason that wouldn't have been a similar situation for the PS4 and a hypothetical GT6 on that system.
Nope. Since GT6 is the current release, we're comparing GT6.
So which is it? You want reasons (of which there is plenty of discussion - right here), but will dismiss any opinion that isn't pro-GT as satire or impossible. Yep, I can foresee nothing but balanced, unbiased posts.
I too post plenty on my phone. Use the original GTP12 method of multi-quoting (hitting the Reply button on every post you'd like to respond to) and it works fine 👍
That causes as many problems as it solves.
I see nothing substantial. Use your words. "So and so said x game is better than y" doesn't amount to much.
See above PS4 sales discussion. With regards to online play: you get what you pay for.
Yep. As someone who's so disgusted with some recent community issues with Forza that I've changed my mind about owning the system for the near future (where I was originally going to be picking up a One around the holidays), and am considering trading in all the previous versions of the game too, I'm definitely pro-Forza.
Sometimes I find it funny that some members see racing franchises like wives, only willing to stick with one. If a game has a weak aspect, criticisms are one of the better ways that aspect might be improved. I've grown up with GT, and some parts of it leave a lot to be desired. It's a far more honest approach than something that equates to roughly "Oh GT, some people are saying other games have better physics, but don't listen to them, you're beautiful!".
To me, FM5 and iRacing are probably the worst driving simulations game I've played over the last year. I think both games could do with big improvements in their tyre models and get cars to have more mechanical grip.
You say it as if it's fact, which is clearly not the case.I can see from here that you just like to argue, so I'll let other people continue to remind that f4 and f5 can't take it to gt6. Looks and sounds. That's all it got on it's side over GT6. Any other train of thought is jaded.

More than 50% of all XBONE users have played FM5. It's not a massive number, sure, but at least they're headed in the right direction and at least the XBONE has a driving simulator on it. The PS4 has none.GT3 is too long ago. The market is far different. PS4 hasn't kicked off anything like the PS3 did. Sales did well...no one uses them much lol.

If PD released GT6 on launch for the PS4, I guarantee PS4 sales would've increase, just look at Fm5. Deciding to release on the PS3 did not help because not only are sales low but future reception and reputation has been damaged as well. Look at all the complaints on this forum. You think if GT7 turns out to be GT6.1 that peeps will still buy it?People get miffed over GT6 being on PS3. The sales were mediocre with GT6 on PS3. How do you think that would have gone on PS4, of which has very few games released and therefore - far far far far far far far less PS4s are in the homes of people, compared to PS3s, which are a dime a dozen. Putting GT6 on ps4 at that time would have made GT6 the last GT game and possibly the last PD game. Being released at the same time as forza is irrelevant. If someone has an Xbox, there is a good chance they bought forza5 anyways, because there are no other racing games that aren't just NASCAR or a cartoon for that console.

They're out at the same time, aiming for the same market. They're bound to be compared. The PS3 and XBONE are not too different technically sans the better specs on the XBONE. Remember that FM5 vs GT6 photo mode thread? GT6 had the edge because of its great lighting engine.What are you talking about? This is completely irrelevant. The systems are totally uncomparable on so many levels no matter the game's launch date. Its like comparing PES 2010 on PS2 and PS3 when they were both launched together. Different systems, one is much newer and much more powerful.
GT is not what YOU think should be, it's what Kaz thinks it should be.
More or less the same for Forza, but they are probably more "sold out" to the audience
Edit: sorry double post
There it's is.Lol I really don't even know how to respond to this. Plenty to say, but not worth the time to retort .
