Muffleman Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Yup, I've been playing a 'review copy' for a week or so. I actually quite like it, it's not a real simulator like GT4, but tbh GT4 isn't really any different to GT3, so Forza is a nice change. It has some nice touchers though, I was being tailed closely by an AI car, and I left braking into a right hander VERY late, managed to stay on by the skin of my teeth, but the guy behind went off cos he'd been tailing me so close ! Plus having damage is cool, I bumped someone early on in one race and had to finish with the car pulling to th right because of damage. Might have to buy a full copy and get on Live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I've got it on pre-order, will be on live after a week or so when I've built up a few cars no doubt. I play PGR2 a fair bit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends on which screenshots you look at, highly rendered promo shots or in game footage http://www.xbox.com/media/games/forza/sim-forza-0015.jpg http://www.xbox.com/media/games/forza/sim-forza-0007.jpg http://www.gadgetophile.com/wp-content/forza-1.jpg http://www.gadgetophile.com/wp-content/forza-2.jpg Compared with.... http://www.bonusstage.com/images/media/gt4-07.jpg http://www.bonusstage.com/images/media/gt4-20.jpg http://www.bonusstage.com/images/media/gt4-39.jpg http://www.bonusstage.com/images/media/gt4-36.jpg Just look at the detail on the low res pic of the Skyline above and compare it with the shot of the Audi from Forza. Forza seems promising and the damage is a welcome addition, not sure I'll be buying an XBox just yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraLuigi Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 But is it worth buying an XBOX for? Will there be a PC version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 i dont think any game is worth going out and buying a console, on ps2 there is GT4 and other great racing games but now on xbox finally we have forza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you need to have a look at the in game footage of Daytona vid doing the net with both games compared side by side. Forza kicks GT4 into touch! There's another one comparing Forza to actual footage and it fecking close! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently downloading but on a slow connection (work link is slower than home!) - I'm happy to be shown the light, from what I've seen of Forza it looks good but I've not seen much evidence of it against GT4 other than the usual XBox owners vs PS2 owner banter Anyway I'm on 16%, I'll get there in a bit....

SkyJawa Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 LMAO!!! Its quite a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 The Forza clip certainly looks "cleaner", the rubber on track combined with the texture on the hills surrounding the track makes it look nicer. The res on the GT4 clip looks to be fairly low though, it certainly looks better than that at home But yes Forza does look nice, if it's GT4 standard plus damage then it's a winner in my book... I'm still not sure I'll be getting an XBox until they make them smaller though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I got Forza today and have had a little play. It's pretty good and not at all easy. Some highlights so far: Getting owed while driving a Supra mkIII; Drifting a Nissan Silvia around Tsukuba; Finding out that the Blue Mountain track is pretty much the track at Bathurst; Winning my first race. As soon as the missus passes out I'm comandeering the TV for some more race action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supradibbs Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 i have a copy waiting for me to pick up lets just say it did not cost me high street price and i did not buy it on the high street Played the demo and feel in love cant wait to get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Get ready to lose some hours. I was up until three this morning. I am very tired but now have a Supra running low 11's for the 1/4 mile. However, it doesn't want to go round corners although I'm assuming that is realistic LOL Also, the amount of companies missing from the modding section is a shame. No Veilside, no Racing Hart, no Blitz. You can put stickers on from more manufacturers tha you can buy. Maybe they only become available later on.
