Lol, no it isn't.

Available for consoles and compatible with the most games, yes the G25 is the best wheel. Obviously the PC market opens up a huge variety. What wheel for X360 or PS3 is better?

Only graphics can be compared right now (since the feature set of GT5 isn't known and Prologue is obviously limited in gameplay and online) and I think both GT5 Prologue and GT5 have the clear edge overall.

Car models in FM3 are very close to GT5 Prologue quality as far as exteriors go, but interiors aren't nearly as detailed as GT.

Lighting and reflections are much more realistic in Prologue.

Forza has more track detail since it's all 3D, but GT tracks still look more realistic, due to the lighting, while Forza tracks have a cartoon-ish look similar to GRID and NFS games.

Both run at solid 60fps.

GT5 Prologue renders in 1280x1080 while Forza 3 is 720p.

GT5 supports up to 16 cars per race and Forza 3 supports up to 8.

come on, whichever turns out to be the super awesome game, single platform owners forced to 'settle' for GT5 or FM3 are hardly in for a rough time.

Yes. Confirmed on B3D.

GT5 ferrari vid = pre rendered using the engine
FM3 ferrari vid = replay mode

does this mean the GT side can no longer use this comparison? sadly, probably not.

You said it was the best wheel available. Period. You didn't qualify it by saying "for consoles", so you were rightly corrected.

Until we have details of GT5 regarding upgrades, this whole premium car thing, weather, day/night cycles and all that malarky, it's a bit hard to say anything other then graphically one has very realistic lighting/model shading, the other seems so far to have very pleasent scenery..

Wow, what an awesome conclusion..

I really just want to drive cars in both, it's mad I know, I really can't be arsed with comparing how either look in anything other then actual in-car gameplay whilst actually racing other cars on an actual track..

Having just looked that word up, I'm not sure I get your meaning. Are you saying that one game comes closer to reality than the other?

But that doesn't even save him in the end. There are better solutions available on the consoles.

Yep noticed that as well. Especially that track with yellow-brownish rocks on the side of theroad. Looks really gaudy and out of place.

gran tusimo and forza 3 are actually designed to brain wash children into becoming CAPITALISTS. you have to buy things from the FREE MARKET. ironically, forza 3 and gt5 are not realistic at all because their economies do not suffer from recessions and high risk banking that capitalism is well known for.

you know what the solution is? mario kart. mario kart allows the player every kart at access, which a strong focus on liberalism to enhance the players freedoms and rights. in mario kart the production of karts is decided by society itself, leading to a happier place.

Sorry forgot I was in the PC thread for Forza v. GT Clearly when someone is saying that GT has a leg up due to the compatibility with the G25/G27 line they are in the realm of the consoles. I am well aware that there are pedal sets that cost 400$ alone for PC's. You can build a near perfect cockpit on a PC, but consoles, the list for fully supported wheels is a much smaller pool. And for the price point and compatibility, G25 ftw.

Resolution and more cars = better gameplay.

It's cool if you think otherwise. No need to get your feelings hurt though.

I'll still make the point about GT screenshots looking better and processed videos of one car looking better. The question is why does Forza look better and not dull in actual gameplay videos?


You can talk about numbers all you want but until we see something from GT 5 gameplay that matches the gamersyde FM3 gameplay videos then I don't think there is room to talk of numbers that don't prove a thing.


It's that simple

"rubber-banding," as it is so termed by reactionaries, is actually a way to help the third world (racers who did not start out early or get good items, as opposed to the racers in front, who are nations which regressed through industrialization and exploitation of natural resources of other nations through imperialism)

no other game includes this revolutionary thinking feature

put forza and gt against the wall for the sake of the mario kart juche

He didn't say that. Can you read?

Maybe you should stop rolling your eyes and focus them on the moonspeak characters that display themselves on the monitor in front of which you have so graciously sat.

Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo S wheel is better than the G25 or the G27 and only $20 more than the latter. You can use it on PC, XBox360 or PS3.

You can even keep your G25 pedals.

I wonder how GT5 is able to do this? Besides PD being gods in their craft of course. Has PD ever divulged anything about their physics engine? Turn 10 seems proud of their 360 FPS refresh rate of their physics engine, suggesting perhaps that their competition isn't doing the same.
