Gran Turismo 5 vs. Forza 3: Ferrari 458 Face-Off

Wow, they both look really good, but I was more impressed with Gran Turismo 5's version. Maybe it was the taillights that did it for me, haha.

Wow. GT5 looks amazing!

Interesting that Polyphony Digital's video was a passionate an homage to the car, while Turn 10's appeared to be merely trying to show off their own game...

this is retarded. they are trailers and not ingame captures... obviously allowing prerenders

Love the tune in the GT5 video, very thoughtful of them to give music credits at the end, bought it on iTunes, it's excellent. Really awesome tune, love the melody and singing as well as the beats.

Wow. I watched the Forza3 one at first, not knowing which it was, and thought "omg, that looks pretty dang good."

Then I watched the other one for GT5, and uh; Yowzers. Both look really damn good, but the emblem on the PS3 version is more detailed, and the lighting seems... more sophisticated? It looks amazing. Although the lack of burnt rubber on the PS3 video was suspicious.

To be honest, both look so good! Everyone is a winner!

Comparing two pre-renders.... really?

Protip: When a console game shows zero aliasing in the trailer, there's something going on that's not in-game gameplay.

So getting a PS3 when GT5 comes out. Looks amazing plus you can beat the G25 support.

I was more impressed with GT5's car, but Forza 3's environments.

Lets real here there are a million racer now for PC, 360, ps3.

Its gona boil down to three things in my opinion:

- road detail, normal mapped high rez textures
- road side details, no flat cardboard, nice trees leaves, etc
- damage models
- car handdling and gameplay.

To me everyone has mastered the car models we all know they are pimp, I am only concerned about the top three points that have lacked, point 4 has been fine for the most part.

Racer have come a long way, finally I may see real detailed roads and environments for the rest has be perfected. I guess damage models would be nice, but this is not new so it should be a standard.

Example FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage has some amazing damage models and physix and that game is $9 for the PC as well cheap for the 360 and was released last year. It sort of funny how GT5 is barging about damage models its not new at all allot of games have years ago.

I can't wait until a racing game comes out that actually looks as good as these renders. The Forza video looked a bit more realistic but they were both obviously not representative of what you will see while playing. After the absolute bullshit PSP GT videos came out showing amazing PS3 quality graphics on a PSP, and then the game was released and we see what it REALLY looks like, I have basically lost any failth that Sony can develop any marketing materials that don't totally misrepresent a games visuals. I guess Turn 10 thinks they have to market at the same level so they don't look like the less visually splendid game.

Actually it's TURN 10 STUDIOS

A few years ago I would've said that the GT5 trailer was all pre-rendered. But now I don't know. The PS3 is incredible when the game is built totally around the PS3 hardware.

Both models look pretty amazing, but GT5 has the right lighting (assuming it wasn't pre-rendered). It looks like they went out of their way to simulate HDR lighting, which makes a huge difference. They also made liberal use of DoF, which always adds another visual dimension. There may be a lot of post work done to it (GT5 trailer), but that's hardly out of the rules. When it comes down to it, any "tricks" they can pull off to make it look better is fair-game.

GT5 == DNF!!

Long live DNF!

I hope GT6 and Forza 4 has at least 1920x1440 resolution. 720 is pure crap in our current consoles.

Does the PS3 have hardware tessalation like the 360? The reason I ask is that I'm sure I can see some flat parts on the wheel arches and wing mirrors up-close on the PS3 video. Could just be the quality of the video though...

Either way, both videos look amazing!

cars go vroom vroom

iracing.com is better then either of these..
