    It's situational really, theres plenty of times i've been driven in to in both games, and plenty of times i've been driven around.

    whats wrong with the forza 3 graphics? where is the ugly stuff?
    gt 6 is brighter because forza 3 is is shadowed behind a mountain.
    But this video isnt like its 720 or 1080p res its 380 so its grainy anyways.

    Been nice if he used the same car view for both versions... instead of in inside cab and other over looking behind.

    from what I have seen from GT5 its pretty poor in comparison to Forza3... Forza is way more fun, the graphics for me are better too...

    I dunno... gt 5 has some good looks and its more like a trade off. Some things look different. Like ps3 has brighter grass kinda a turf look and forza has kinda a bland grass look. The road on forza looks darker and the driving line on GT is bright. GT has more detail in some maps though, like banners and use of color.

    I own 1 of the sports cars in forza 3 and its damn near spot on in detail. the inside is damn near perfect match of may car.

    But GT should look better it took 5 years to make and its brand new vs forza 3 thats been out a while now and had less dev time since forza 2 was released not long before it.

    I'd actually like to agree with you on the graphics aspect, although in Forza the cars look a little plastic like it’s quite a well-polished presentation. I feel GT5 is inconsistent, some tracks look like direct ports of the PS2 version and the same is almost true of the standard cars. With Forza at least it looks good more consistently not just if you look at the rear of a premium car!

    Also the menu system is horrid from a UI design perspective and when Forza doesn't have the screen tearing and frame rate issues I've experienced in GT5

    doesn't matter if forza is smarter the prettier one always wins. Have you ever seen a dude pick a smart ugly girl over a dumb as bricks pretty girl? It's the same with video games. People who don't care about how well a game works will only go for the pretty ones that look real.

    Generally yes, but not always the case with a video game, different priorities with different genres. It would seem to me however that prettier graphics appeal to the audience more in this racing simulator's context.

    I havnt really had any big problems with GT5's AI after about 15 hours of playtime. The only "problem" (i use quote signs since i just had to restart the race once, not a game breaking deal for me) i had was when i was trying to do a license test and one of the AI cars rammed me like 3-4 times which led to me being disqualified lol (probably because of some collision detection "bug"). But that said, it wouldnt hurt if GT5's AI gets improved. I think that Polyphony will keep working on GT5 eventhough that the game is released, so i am interested to see what they will do further on the game


    When it comes to the graphics comparison between GT5 and Forza 3, i am not really going to say much about that since often graphics are in the eye of the beholder. Someone say that "this" looks better while other will say "that" looks better. I think that the graphics in GT5 looks really good and from what i have seen from Forza 3 videos (unfortunately i havnt played the game myself yet), the graphics looks pretty good too.

    There is one thing that i feel that is often overlooked in the "Forza 3 VS GT5" comparisons by the way, and that is that it is possible to have 16 cars on a track in GT5 compared to Forza 3 who can have 8 cars on a track. For many this doesnt really matter much, but from a technical standpoint i think that it is quite an achievement to get 16 cars on one track while keeping the physics the same and having great graphics as well

    Well it's not like the owners of GT5 gonna complain about the shabby AI, as there is still the free online multiplayer which is a bazillion more fun than AI racing compared to the payed gold xbox live account, even though this part is not that polished yet people could still hope for improvement for next updates.
    The only thing that bugs me is the commitment of polyphony digital after delivering the game, would there be more improvement through update or are they keeping more significant improvement for the next version (like a more polished online experience, more car customizations like paint jobs that would make your car unique online ).
    No really in this kind of game I have little worry for the AI, I only feel sorry for all the guys that hyped tthis game so long in their mind only to be bashed by xbot.

    Disclaimer : I am an xbox owner and love to bash GT fans who expected gold platted glittering unicorn out of this game.

    Maybe that's why the AI just seems to follow the racing line and not pay much attention to anything else. I can only assume that if you have more complex AI, you'll have to decrease the maximum cars on track.
