Support NeoGAF

[Xplainin]

I'm a car sim lover, and I love both the GT and Forza series.
Turn 10 and PD are amazing developers, and I love to see them push each other to create better games.
Every generation its normally the car sims that set the benchmarks for realism.
So how have both done?
I'm not able to get any 4k screen grabs, so if any other peeps here can add some that would be great.

Forza didn't show any gameplay, so we cant compare that, but we got was some similar shots in the garage and some replay footage.

Forza Motorsport Trailer


GT7 Trailer


To me they both look as good as each other at this point. Only real difference I can see is more Ray Tracing in Forza than GT. Now that could just be a glitch at this point and PD have plenty of time to fix that up.

Whats the verdict so far GAF?

 

[Tiamat2san]

Well the last forza were above GT sport.
Except in the HDR department.
I lost faith in polyphony years ago.
I still have faith in turn 10 even with their shitty mtx because I don’t need every car in the game.

Uh... neither series sets anything about realism. They're semi-sims, not actual racing simulators. They make giant compromises in regards to realism in order to be accessible. The benchmark for realism is set by things like iRacing.

Beyond that, it makes zero sense to compare a game early in development showing cars in-engine only vs one showing actual gameplay.

Nah, makes perfect sense. The two best car devs (yeah I know, Playground are the kings) have put out trailers for their next installments on new consoles.
This comes along once every 7 years.

 

[The Fartist]

GT is the complete package, plus it's got that sweet, sweet velvety Neo-Jazz.

 

[Birdo]

Neither will be out any time soon.

It's going to be a long war.

 

[Senua]

Gt showed actual gameplay, forza showed a tiny bit of in engine footage. What the hell is there to compare at this point?

 

[Yoboman]

Literally couldn't tell anything in Forza

 

[Andodalf]

At this point they both look good and I hope we see at least one by holiday 2022

it makes as much sense as comparing apples to escalators.

"we got was some similar shots in the garage and some replay footage."

Got to start somewhere.

Umm, ok.
Let me know how you go with that.

Forza will be better. Forza has been superior to GT for many years now.

The new GT literally had graphics the exact same as GT sport but with some low res raytracing.

The graphics in the Forza reveal ( short as it was ) were noticeably superior.

 

[RasAlGhoul]

GT is far better on the track and I don’t expect that to change.

It's focusing on a VR experience. I imagine thats why it cant go bonkers in the fidelity department.

I dont know this for sure. But its a good guess imo. Anyways its far too soon to compare these games.

We'll have to be a little patient

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

I....I guess the tarmac has a more rugged appearance in Forza, like the course has been genuinely ran through the ringer multiple times. The shot at 14 seconds in really shows this well. I think the lighting looks a bit more dramatic in GT7 though...but background foliage looks a bit more detailed in Forza?

Aside from that like everyone else is saying, way too little on Forza to do a genuine comparison. Both games look really good though and I think visual preference will come down to small tastes in art direction you might prefer one over the other for.

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Too early, fam

 

[Craig of War]

Gone to go with Forza ever since Forza 3 it has been better than Gran Turismo overall package.

 

[Vasto]

Forza is just on another level.

 

[thelastword]

GT crushes, yet the next time we see GT it will be even more bonkers when PD has full next gen assets in...

PD have always had better details in the cars. But they take their time doing it.
Their shaders for the car paint is always on point as well.
But in the other hand, Forza gives more cars, more tracks.
Really looking forward to playing both of them.

 

[Neo_game]

IMO Forza video was a big letdown. Forza4 E3 trailer had in engine trailer with some gameplay, features and release date. Everything was absent in this reboot video. So probably 2022 game. As far as trailer goes GT7 is more impressive comparing 1 min for both the trailers. The difference is both are probably in alpha or pre alpha stage but Sony still showed the extended trailer with game running on PS5 where as Mircrosoft did not want to show it for some reason.

 

[PleaseDontBanMe]

Whichever one is fully playable in VR is the one I'm interested in
