Forza vs GT

[Indy_aka_Rex]

Its left turns in nascar. With how much you defend it in GT, one would think you would know that.

It's called a joke, no need to get your pannies in a bunch!

I realized my mistake after posted it, but then I also realized "eh, 'left turn,' 'right turn'? who cares, they only know how to make one."

They have road coarses too, again something you should know. lol

E3 Trailer for Forza Horizons



I see we're still going to Imagine the Carnage (tm).....

[michealo]

night racing is cool now, too.
weather is still unnecessary.

[Ergo-Proxy]

60 or 30fps?

[evolone]

I hope its not played like a NFS game. LOL @ dave holding on to comments from over 2 games ago. Really guy?

Have you ever enjoyed a cat and mouse race? Probably not, but its a good way to burn time racing without being serious. Oh well I guess with the gimped online physics cat and mouse would suck for gt5 anyways.

Microsoft are the ones holding onto it.......they apparently cant release a Forza without playing to the Halo crowd.

Played?....yes......enjoyed?....no.

But yet another feature GT5 is perfectly capable of if your into that sort of thing.

and hey...it looks like Forza might actually let you race at night for the first time......but, I thought Dan had said the 360 wasn't capable of that without unacceptable performance hits??? strange.

Oh dear God

Sony unwilling to allow Microsoft to monopolise the worlds dumbest racing controller market for another year.

I did not know they made tri-ldos.

Don't even pretend dude. You damn well remember that one night when I walked in on you, Coldfoot He Who Shall Not Be Named 3, and Dave and had to leave the room in a haze of vomit and smoke.

I can still picture it in my mind and cry that I wasn't invited that I had to witness it.

Jalopnik: So, what's the big difference with Forza Horizon?

Alan Hartman: It's a fundamentally different take, it's about music and car culture, the fun and the style of the entire scene. There's different road surface types, not just closed racing circuits— even off road. There's plenty of racing, in the form of challenges and formal races, and even a number of special challenges, like racing a '70s era Boss Mustang against a P51 Mustang.

Jalopnik: A P51? As in the WWII fighter plane?

AH: Yep, that one.

Jalopnik: Finally!

AH: And, nighttime! There's so much that happens in the street scene at night, and we wanted to make sure you could drive at night.

Jalopnik: Are you still using the Forza 4 physics engine? Has anything changed?

AH: It is based on the same physics engine, yes. We did tweak things to allow for more "stylish" driving, though.

Jalopnik: What about the visuals?

AH: It's based on the Forza 4 engine, again, but with some significant changes. All of the cars had to be rebuilt for Horizon, since they're going to be doing a lot of different stuff. Plus, we had to do things like making the lights work. We're also using a lot more scattered light effects compared to Forza 4, and have many more different lighting environments. Much more bounced light for atmosphere. We have what we've been calling, usually in a British accent, "UberLOD"— LOD meaning "Level of Detail."

There's also big vistas you'll see as you drive. Views that go 20 miles out— and you can drive to any of them.

Jalopnik: What do you mean?

AH: If you see it, you can drive to it. Well, maybe not some of the mountaintops, but still. You can drive into the Rockies, then look down off the side of the mountain and see the festival below. The map is full and huge and there's many miles of road to discover.

Jalopnik: Can you import your cars from Forza 4?

AH: Not really— they're different cars. Some special ones, yes, we'll have Horizon versions of them, but not all of them.

Jalopnik: So, in this big open world, how is everything structured?

AH: The basic premise is you're attending a festival, and your goal is to become King of the festival by gathering fans. You do that by winning races, risky driving, stunts, special challenges and events.

Jalopnik: It looks like there's now actual humans at these festivals. Much like some actual car shows I've been to.

AH: Yes! Interaction with people is there. There's a story and everything, but as always, the car is still the star.

Jalopnik: In Forza 4, I love that I can kill 10 minutes waiting for something by quickly jumping in and playing a quick race. Will that sort of easy, casual play still be possible here?

AH: Yes— we still want to offer a casual aspect. You can hop right in and start driving, just drive around if you like, or find a challenge for a race.

Jalopnik: I banged into a bunch of non-player cars when I tried it out. Most seemed to be Priuses. Are there any repercussions for, you know, vehicular manslaughter of innocents?

AH: Uh, nope. In fact, we have a sort of informal minigame seeing how many Priuses you can knock off the road. Don't let Toyota hear that, though. We love Toyota.

Jalopnik: Oh, I won't tell them. How many cars will be available? Any nice weird ones? Vintage ones?

AH: There's a LOT of cars. I can't give a number now, but it's huge selection. All road cars this time, no pure race cars like in Forza. They're an eclectic mix, cars you'd take to a festival.

Jalopnik: Any message you have for Jalopnik readers?

AH: Thanks for putting in all those wild cars!

Forza Horizon will be released on October 23, and I'm looking forward to it for one specific reason: I've always thought the best part about driving games is giving the player the chance to do the sort of inane, stupid, and dangerous things they'd never do in a car in reality. Forza Horizon looks like a great place to drive like a dangerous idiot.

A mini game where you have to destroy as many Priuses as possible???

Some Imagine the carnage (tm) we can all get behind

I don't understand why you are so butt hurt over Forza all the time. I thought you were a car enthusiast not a sony fan boy.
