i have never played forza so i cant really compare, i have been a gt fan all my life and i hate xbox and their stupid controlls so i will also never be a forza man, im sure forza would be fun, and possibly more entertaining as a day to day game, but in the terms of driving i think the gt series at the moment would be hard to beat.

im not sure how many settings and what settings can be done on forza and i have seen alot of people say that gt5's settings dont work on the cars, but that is absolut bolloks, if i purchase a car and fully modify it, take it to a track as it is, there is atleast 10sec in alterations that can be done.

from the videos i have seen, the graphics are a little ordinary, and it is a proven fact that forzas lap times with the same car, tyres track ect are 5 -8 seconds quicker then gt5 and also about the same 5-8 sec faster then real life. i also think the physics int gt5 are very good, nothing can be like real life but revs over bumps and all that stuff are there, id like to know if lowering the pressure of tyres in forza actually decreases tyre wear very very fast around the track, because if it doesnt then its a bullshit option.

the damage on the cars in gt5 doesnt show very well sure, but its new and needs perfecting, forza crash's dont look amazing and real either.

i also saw a list of cars for forza a few pages back

2 rx7s

1 gto

standard 32 33 34 gtr v specs

4 standard sti's

4 evos

no nismos

there are heaps of interesting cars missing

i have a fully modded

89 rx7

92 rx7

99 rx7 bathurst

00 rx7 rz

02 rx7 spirit r

thats just rx7s, lets not get into the 12 different year and model gtrs with different max powers at different rpms, im not even including race cars, then theres evo 1 - x, about 15 stis

i do like the sound of some of the cars in forza, its cool to hear something different, i also must agree for the first month of gt5 it was a little painful, but once you get going, the different cars and different options gets me on there pretty often

iv won every race and ive had most cars, the fun for me is racing against my ghost and perfecting my laptimes

i can see how forza would be fun, but from all the videos i have seen it is simply too arcadie compared to gt5, arcadie wins with %90 of the public, but for the true driving experience i beleive gt5 is the winner

its like the age old fifa vs pro evolution, fifa sells bucket loads more... but what do the footballers play???

A few things.

You haven't played Forza.

You're guessing at the 5-8 seconds, the test was done with a pro driver and a 'veteran racing gamer' in Forza 1. Unlike GT, the physics engine in Forza has actually improved with every game.

You list cars that are in the game as missing.

Yes, even old Colin Mcrae Rally games shit all over GT5 and Forza 4 for realistic damage but at least Forza 4 generally makes sense.

yes its true, i havnt played forza, it looks like fun it does, but from the videos the graphics dont look as good,

as for the car list, iv searched and found the same lists, it only states 3 sandard rx7s, but lets not compare the amount of cars in the game... its silly gt5 has 1031

also if a game comes out originally with poor physics, there is more room to advance the next game,

this is a silly debate on my part i guess as i havnt played forza, but i find it hard to beleive that forza will ever trully compete with gran turismo, the gt5 network is massive, racing teams are willing to put a person who wins a gt5 competition behind the wheel of le mans cars for crying out loud. and they have won...

from what i have read and my thoughts on x box, i cant see me enjoying forza more then a hard battled online race of gt5

CBF reading rest of thread.

Got both GT5 and Forza 4 at release dates........

gt5 has its merits, it's a little... more realistic in different things.... but...

Forza 4 is better, and will continue to get better with later releases....

and I've owned all bar the prologues of GT series....

/thread.

been playing rivals - drift mode around maple valley...... absolutely love it, currently time is consumed by bf3 but as of mid last week was top 3% of A-class 373kw car around maple.

Fair enough yes they play real football, and basketball players play real basketball, but don't tell me you think sportsmen don't play their sports on consoles

Come on maaaateee

they probably do, but not as a 'simulator'. they wouldn't be expecting any sort of realism from it

GT5 has an impressive number of cars but christ there is a lot of filler. Seriously, the Ford GT with no stripe is a separate car? In that case Forza has an infinite amount of cars.

i'm a GT fan and i will gladly accept that as a big flaw. they didn't need to put in 360 different versions of the rx7 or mx5 or even GTR.

lol, this guy needed some burning.....who starts a comparison with "ive never played the game but"

but as per usual you always drag your opinion into it, and spout some shit that just aint true. GT5 physics are faaaar beyond what they were even in gt5 prologue.

The important bit there is 'with every game' I didn't say GT never improved.

^does it show you your time and where it ranks against the xbox community.

It shows you your best time against every single online users best completed lap in that race, including what assists they used, what performince index their vehicle was and you can download their ghost to see what they did.

Well, a bit Sandra Sully on this one but better late than never.

http://www.autoblog.com/2012/03/05/turn-10-talks-forza-motorsport-4-porsche-dlc-with-autoblog/

The most interesting thing will be Porsche vs RUF. I have the season pass so I think I get this one for 'free' too.

Ive had 1,2,3,4 and now 5 of the gt series. They are unbeatable as a simulation and ive spent so many hours on GT5 over the last 2 or so years, however there seems to be a lack of fun at times when comparing to some street racing games such as Midnight club and the earlier need for speed's. Obviously these games do not have the longevity or proper phyics like gran turismo, but they have some good features like the customisation, free roam racing etc.

It looks like Forza is probably the most complete game on the market. Such a shame its on 360 as i hate xbox controllers and i will never get one.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
