If you're going to count the lack of "unique" cars against GT, you might want to do the same for Forza, since a good chunk of the additions are race cars, typically with two liveries counting as two separate models. I'd wager it'd deduct at least 50 cars from their total.

Done.

GT has been making premium cars that are next gen ready since 2005, since the launch of GT4. Forza has been making premium cars that are next gen ready since about the launch of Forza 4, October 2011. Forza 5 launched in December 2013 with 200 cars, Forza 6 launched 21 months later with 400 unique cars, an increase of 200. For GT6, including DLC from GT5, GT added about 130 unique premiums in 3 years.

Forza is making new cars at a much faster rate than GT's historic rate of about 40-45 unique new premiums per year. Over the last 19 months they've produced at rate of nearly 120 unique cars/year. Forza is hands down winning the premium car count race and by Forza 7 they should be well ahead of GT unless PD pulls a rabbit out of the hat, something they've never been able to do on this front.

Ahh thanks Johnny for clearing that up. I knew it was something like that. For instance PD making next gen since GT4 PS3 days - 10 years, wasn't sure and didn't know since when T10 had been making next gen ready cars. So in 4 years they have made 450 cars which within the next year will add another 42 7 car pack.

But do you know how many pure premiums PD has made since GT4 upto GT6? Or does anyone. I was guessing 600. And I knew my maths was a little off but in the right direction. So now I know T10 have been making next gen ready since 2011.

I don't have the exact number of unique premiums in GT but I think @SlipZtrEm does.

Looks accurate, though the gap between FM5 and six is just shy of 22 months. Might want to fix the 19 month bit then.

I'm at work, but it shouldn't be too hard to find on the spreadsheet. I could have a count by lunch. If GT6 has 438 Premiums right now (that's with Chromelines, Stealths, and 15A models removed), I'd say a safe bet would be slightly under 400. Both games have roughly the same number, really.
 
I'm perfectly fine with GT6 car selection. But, I hate to say it, Forza 6 has a couple of cars I really want to drive. IndyCars, Formula fords being the big ones.
 
I much prefer GT6 car selection, the LRV and X2010 Prototype are really fun to drive and experiences that you can't really get on any other car racing game.
 
I don't know if I've said this but another thing to note about Forza is that they nailed the pop culture cars down hence why their appeal is on the ups. GT has a few pop culture cars (talking from the premium side) but it seems they're more focused on historical cars and cars that have achieved great feats (alla VGT) which isn't wrong in any sense but if you want your game to push numbers in sales then you need the pop culture cars stat!
 
For me its GT6, I once had Forza (up and till 5) TBH though I like JDM cars & GT has what I like, as for Forza though been there done that & brought the T shirt (so to speak).
The way I see it Forza is for arty fans and GT is more for the tuners.
But each to their own.
 
its shame for the Polyphony that they have a nice selection of cars and most of them (the good ones) are standard... And of course the many same car editions.... Better one model and premium that 50 and standard....

Tuners? Ride height is still backwards and camber doesn't even work as it should. :lol:

Forza5 and Forza4 is more fair comparison IMO as it was closer to GT6 than Forza6.

It's not about fair. It's comparing the most recent games from both franchises.

Apart from some unique and weird cars in GT6 I think rally cars are also missing on Forza.

Forza Motorsport doesn't have rally tracks. Rally cars would be pointless.

I'd have thought the game with significant body kit selections, engine swaps, and more tuning options would be for the tuners.

Gran Turismo does look pretty though, and has a great photomode, which is quite artistic.

You sure you didn't get those two backwards?

Kind of. You can build them with really bumpers, lights, and mud flaps in the body tuning section and typically there's an option to swap in a rally spec motor. They made more sense in Horizon, but they carried over the tuning to Forza 6.

TDU2 advertised rally a lot before its release. The rally is so BAD. Just imagined it had rally cars in TDU2...but Turn10 modeling rally tracks wouldn't hurt and if it is implemented well more than GT6. Oh boy that would be awesome.

Horizon has rally. I think rally fits better in an open world style game than a circuit based one.

And rally in Horizon is decent, for something that isn't a rally game. I find it better than the death plunges guarded by unbreakable tape that are in GT. But if I really want rally, I go play Dirt 3 or Dirt Rally.

What I mean is design your own liveries, art work etc etc, that's what I mean by arty or artistic or whatever you want to call it.

Yeah Horizon does rally better,but Forza 6 having rally tuning parts for rally based cars. I'm sure Turn10 have something planned,but could be me exaggerating.

That's pretty funny and true lol.
Don't forget about Grand Canyon in GT4. You never die.

True,but it's not lile Turn10 can't pull a comeback on GT with rally execution,but seeing how Forza 6 doesn't have Super GT or a few other Japanese motorsport cars for the license probably being to expensive..I can't imagine WRC license.
 
Forza 6 of course, why? because:
E39 BMW M5
Premium BMW M3 E46
Premium Toyota Supra RZ
Mclaren P1
Ferrari LaFerrari
Lamborghini Veneno
Alfa Romeo 4C
And lots of other awesome cars that are not present in Gran Turismo 6, plus every cars in Forza 6 is Fully-Modeled with Interior and Maximum Details, Forza Vista and no Recycled PS2 Era Trash.

Gran Turismo 6 Car List is also very Outdated, most of the cars are from 90's and early 2000's, heck even DriveClub beats Gran Turismo 6 car list even tough the game also have an unbalancement with most of the cars being European SuperCars, but still it beats GT Car List because atleast DC don't have Duplicates and Cars that almost nobody knows.

Seeing how Forza has more tuning options than GT, I don't get it either.
Click to expand...

Have you played GT ?
The way I see it GT has more options in tuning or restricting cars to a lower PP add ballast, different tyre compounds etc etc
In Forza it just feels limited to what you can do to your cars, but hey that's my opinion.
And yes I did have Forza games but just lost all interest when 5 came out, for me that was a huge disappointment.

TBH we're all entitled to our own opinions in what we like and dislike it would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing.

You like Forza then so be it.

I'll just leave it at that.

I was pretty sure Forza din't have it. But that is something GT is having for quite sometime and is a genuine difference between the two.

Oh it's loaded with it, especially in Forza Horizon. Forza Motorsport doesn't need it because it's a track racer, but it's nice that it has rally parts.

And this is the problem one can run into when they don't actually have any experience with one of the games they're comparing.

Yeah but when your opinion is based off wrong information it doesnt hold much. There are alot more modification to be done in Forza, The ballast is the only thing GT has. You can pretend all you want, and throwing "my opinion" does not make it so. I dont even understand how you think it's limited. In what sense?

Yes you are pretending pal !! You said you've played Forza up till 5 and therefore you should have a lot experience with it. Yet you brought up this whole "Forza is for arty fans and GT6 is for tuners", in what sense like @ImaRobot asked?

How about you actually get your facts straight and not throw false information around like you did above. You started it, you end it.
