Which game offers best car selection?

FM6 has a better car selection overall. I mean, I like the selection that GT6 gives me minus the duplicates and standards (although I like the improved ones), but Turn 10 once again triumphs with its car selection in FM6 by having a lot of the same cars as GT6's premium car list along with so much more.

Although, that doesn't mean I won't come back to GT6 as there's some cars that I like in that game.
 
I think it speaks more to a disatisfaction of a 2 yr old game vs. a 2 day old game, one based on an old engine, old hardware and vice versa yadda yadda.

I have no doubt Kaz and PD have got an xbox one and forza 6 and are taking notes so they can counter with GT7.

I think the people who have moved to the Forza side are even more pessimistic than the people who have stayed with GT6.

People are very susceptible to fashion and the 'shiny newness'. I know this myself... my interest in GT6 dropped off a lot when F5 FH2 and F6 hit... but even though F6 had got me now, it doesnt take much for the VGT stuff to get me back.
 
Haven't played FM6 yet, but I've seen the car list and it's way better than GT6's.

More isn't always better. Quality over quantity wins every time.

Edit: I should add that I say this as a PS4 owner who does not own an X1 and has no plans to buy one, so I'm definitely not biased towards Forza, I'm telling it how it is objectively in my opinion. :)

Car modeling from scratch generally means they scan the car again and start from the beginning. The is the literal meaning of starting from scratch. So if you're saying they started over from the beginning, where are the interiors of these Semi-premiums since all the cars they've modeled for the last 10 years, except for the VGT's, have had an interior?

Since there is no interior modeled for the "semi-premiums", I think we can safely conclude they just brushed up the older models and didn't actually start from scratch.

Thats why the word semi-premium was created? They're similar as the VGT Premium from the outside but no interior.
The quality difference is very big, dont think you cant just take an old standard and improve it and get such good quality. No, i'm pretty sure they indeed started from scratch.

I would have expected that result in the Forza Forum, just not here:sly:

GT fans love to bash GT and Kaz/PD but in the end they know they will end up buying PS4/GT7/GT8 and so on :sly:

You're so right and its silly. People who own the PS should simply stop paying so much attention to the "GT copycat" franchise that is forza. Sounds like a little bit of digital diogenes syndrome, and one game from one console is never enough. Its like... Oh, that girl is a bit hotter and younger than my G/F, lets drop my current one and I'll get her!

Not every so called "semi-premium" is made to the quality of the Ruf models; nor do people use the term to only describe the ones that were done to the quality of the Ruf models.

I wouldn't go as far as calling this poll bashing. It's only here to check people's opinion. And as you can see, so far (rouhgly) almost 4 out of 5 people will tell you that F6's car list is more appealing than GT6's (which is not a matter of hardware or console generation). Nobody's bashing PD here.
I know I won't be buying GT7 as of now since I kind of feel let down by GT6 and PD collectively.

Except I'm not in a romantic relationship with one franchise/console or another :lol:
Jokes aside, I see what you mean - the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence :) But it's not a matter of hating something. It's only natural that we often regret making one of two choices. "Damn, I should have bought DLC pack #1, not #2 :C " and so on...
 
Im one of those guys that hates Forza. Why? Because i play Gran Turismo :p
But sadly, FM6 wins this, simply because i love the LMP/GTLM series that are run around the globe, WEC, TUSCC, ELMS etc etc, and sadly FM6 has my favourite car and GT6 does not :( Corvette C7.R :(
Still hopeful PD can make something happen with GT7, but if they don't..... uh oh...

There are GT fans who will blindly buy and defend whatever is released just because the GT name is on the cover? I can't imagine who that'd be...

Both games got enough cars to have something appealing to everyone and most players will miss cars at some point. Both games suffer from quality differences that make some cars more appealing than others. IMO it is pointless to compare car lists alone, games shouldn't be played for content alone.

I'm not sure why that would be, what seems to be said here is more about just the cars, rather then the console, hardware, or engine.

People are very susceptible to fashion and the 'shiny newness'. I know this myself... my interest in GT6 dropped off a lot when F5 FH2 and F6 hit... but even though F6 had got me now, it doesnt take much for the VGT stuff to get me back.

I was quite the opposite, really. Or are you saying that all the liking for Forza is just because it's new? I'm not so sure that's the case as FM5 was a big let down to a lot of people, so I'm sure there where more people that where more cautious going in, and even held back, then there is people that just jumped at it because of it being a fresh face.

Why would they start from scratch only to end up finishing half the product? That wouldn't make sense and would just be a total time waster. I'm also not seeing how you can say that a Semi Premium is hardly different compared to the new VGT's. They are miles apart.

If it's good, yeah sure, I'll buy it.

Did you forgot that GT was not the first racing game? All they did is copy someone elses idea too, so I'm not even sure why you'd go that way :lol:

Are you really comparing two different games to a human relationship? I see now where your problems are stemming from. :lol:
 
Forza 6 more appealing ? Yes

But

GT6 more interesting (midjet, VGT, sema show car, kart, and other weird stuff)

Also Plymouth XNR, Hudson Hornet Mario Andretti, and my favourite car, Corvette Sting Ray Race Car.

Also the recreated car, Isuzu 4200R and Jaguar XJ13.

Because they could always finish them doing the interior, and doing only the exterior is faster. I think you should figure this out yourself.

Are you really a robot that you cant comprehend stuff out of literal? ;)

Yeah, but they haven't even finished the exterior to get to the same levels of quality from the VGT Premiums you are comparing them too. I'm not sure why they would rebuild a standard, to make it a slightly better looking standard? That would be a waste of time.

That wasn't a literal statement though, you are comparing two games and saying its like cheating on the other to play a different one. What exactly is literal about that statement?

Its still better than the old standards... or would you rather keep the old standards than those improved ones?
How is improving them a waste of time exactly? You mean that they should do them in full premium or nothing? I completely disagree.

And it was more of a case of "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" I suppose its been understood even though the G/F thing was not the best thing to say.

Keep the standards as is, and give me premiums. That would seem the most logical, especially with the jump to next gen coming.

It wasn't understood at all, because its actually showing why you have such a problem with Forza. You act as if you are cheating, if you play a different game. So with that in mind it brings to light your views, and why you may dislike something else.

It's not cheating, people have both consoles, an people have enjoyed both games just fine without any repercussion. Like I have as well.

The most logical would be to all be high quality of course, but PD as we know are slow, so its better to improve those standard cars rather than simply dropping them because of obvious lack of quality, at least for me.

Maybe you are rich but in the vast majority of countries, and the vast majority of people, have only 1 console per generation.

Because even a passing glance at most of the ones they messed with for GT6 makes it obvious that they were improved in a way that they are going to have to redo them completely anyway.

I was talking about improving them in the RUF, Seat Ibiza quality. This is not a waste and its good quality, it just lacks the interior that could be added in the future if they wanted.

No I'm not, but if I really want something I'll save up money over a period of time and get it. That is not a good reason, whatsoever, to not like something or to talk down the people that do like it.

Annnnnnnd you missed the point completely. I guess I'll just drop it since I can only assume that the language barrier is stopping you from getting what I'm saying. Still, It's dragged this topic far enough off topic.
 
Mr Grumpy
I've lost sight of this discussion :(

Are we comparing 10 year old rehashed cars from a 2 year old game on an 8 year old machine VS a 2 day old game on a current gen machine or are we talking about which has the more appealing car selection (regardless of quality) ?
Click to expand...
It's not entirely off subject to find a car list more appealing because it has the same consistency througout, regardless of generation. It started getting off subject with the whole immersion subject, though.

Yeh true, I make you right.

Just started to feel more about the presentation of cars instead of the type of car available that's all
 
Just to say, this poll has an obvious flaw, it assumes the answer must be one or the other but what if the answer, in your opinion, is "neither"? Since both games broadly speaking have cars I want equally to see in the other I can pick neither one nor other.:sly:

You are all entitled to your own opinions of course, but that's mine.
Now, carry on amongst yourselves... :lol:

EDIT - I voted for both as that is permitted by the poll even though it's grammatically impossible :lol:
