I find that Forza is to Drifty while GT is not drifty enough. In forza you could spin out in a volvo w/ 10 horpsepower while in GT5 you cant spin worth crap in a 1k hp monster. atm I like Gt4 Better than forza by just a little bit in the racing department and car graphics and customization (physical). While I like Forza better for overall visuals / online and customization (cosmetics). Considering how in forza there were glitches where u could make 500k in like 20 minutes and the "drivatar" sucked so bad it wasnt usable. In Gt4 the B-spec mode was to useful and made the game alot easier if u tuned ur car right and took some of the fun out of the game (it also shortented it). So both those should be taken out completely.
BTW I still favor GT over Forza ![]() |

his volvo spun out of control? Thats almost impossible, you know how hard it would be for you to spin a volvo out of control? He probably knows how to drive its the game that messed him up.

For one I knew how to drive when I had the game considering I had alot of the top lap times within the top 20's before i stopped playing. #2 I turned everything I could off in GT to make it more interesting. Forza uses shading differently than GT because it had to allow for damage on the cars. GT had no damage allowing for good looking cars all the time. BTW GT had more usable tuning options than Forza and the drivatar just sucked. It couldnt win a race even w/ max stats.

Played it since GT1 on the PS1, then GT2, GT3 and GT4 on the PS2. I'm a car fanatic in "real life" also.
Got all excited about GT-HD, but man, I've been waiting so long, and who knows when they will release it. I may get so tired of waiting that I might end up getting the 360 and play Forza/Forza2. At least the 360 will be _much_ cheaper, more stable and I can use it as video/audio slingshot from my yet-to-be-built vista PC.
BTW, to the poster who said they can't get sideways in a 1000HP car on GT4, they need to turn off traction control and stability. I have much lower HP cars that I can basically drift around in on the Nurburgring. Try driving an F1 car around the "ring" with all assists turned off and tell me its "hard" to get oversteer. That comment made me lol.
