Forza Motorsport Comments by Kristan Reed

FPS is not an important issue as long as the game doesn't stutter - which it can do for a game running from 20 fps to a game running at 120 fps. Forget about FPS - it's a stat used by Graphics card makers and engine writers to sell their shit.

And I believe that when you compare two games that have similar gameplay, you have to give an edge to the game that not only addresses the AI issue, but also offers an extra gaming avenue: online.

Had Polyponic got their netcode together with GT4, perhaps the argument would have been who's 9/10 review was better.

"zerob_cool, are u the same zerob_cool that was bashing forza many months ago, BEFORE it was even released?"

Yep, it's the same sad person, and looking at his posts on the forum makes his comments here nonsence.

He's a GT4 fanboy. That's the REAL reason he has problems with the Forza review (regardless of what he says here). He was hoping for a negative review, but instead it's positive, denying him an opportunity to post here with smug satisfaction that Forza isn't as good as everyone hoped.

The review here (and practically everywhere else), has rated Forza equal to or higher than GT4. A bad time for GT4 fanboys. ;)

i have to say that going by the way people are talking on the forums, i am really looking foward to Forza Motorsport. This is my personal opinion on FM, and it is this, it is everything the GT4,3,2,1 wanted to be. Quality AI, visual tune-ups, under the hood upgrades, literally everything that the GT franchise aimed to be. And for me I am tired of the things that GT is giving. I now have something to look forward to designing my own car, something that I WANTED SO BADLY ON GT4. i hope that i have not waffled. but bar the Force Feedback wheel, i I would say that FM's good points have really been what the GT franchise should have been from the get go.

Where the deuce is the Forza competition winner listed?

I think Forza Motorsport is the best thing that ever happened to Gran Turismo fans. GT is still the best looking, best sounding, most comprehensive and most realistic (handling of the cars) driving game there is. But in particular the AI is not sophisticated enough. I personally don't really care about damage to the vehicles. If it can't be made as realistic as the rest of the game, it should be left out, like Polyphony did. Online is also low on my list of priorities (as it is for the large majority of gamers), but reviewers, hardcore gamers that they are, almost always give extra marks for it (Halo 2 anyone?).

With Forza, the guys at Polyphony Digital finally have to do more than creating a better looking and better sounding driving game, they also have to make sure it races great. I think GT fans in the end will only be better for it.

Probably as perfect as the technology (console, physics engine) allows at that time.

Zero-whatever, you're an idiot. Give it up, Forza is better. At WORST, they're equal. Which, to use football jargon, leaves Forza as the happier manager at half-time. Forza was a debut. GT4 was the FOURTH game in its series. That Forza is at LEAST on a par with GT4 is poor, on Polyphony's part. VERY poor.
