This game touts its amazing recreation of real-life physics and its photo-real visuals.

Could this be some decent competition for GT4? Discuss.

At a different forum I visit, there has been a thread on this game for over a year now. I'm still amazed that it's slipped past most peoples radar.
I think it's looking pretty good, everything I've read about it says the physics are incredible. There is a wheel being made for it, but it'll only be released in Japan. Don't worry though, it also supports the Driving Force wheels everyone has.

I'm looking forward to it, since I'm losing interest in GT4.

Acutally, Enthusia Professional Racing looks pretty good. More competition means more fun for us consumers.

the thing is GTR may be more of a simulator, but it does not have the RPG sort of get the license and buy the car and tune it up as GT4 doeas. What I mean is that its not enought to have the great physics to the game. After playing GTR I still take GT3 over it. It may be a better simulation yes, but GT3 has more cars different stuff to do (like rally) and well, I just think they need to give the user more options to beat GT4. Its not only a matter of graphics and physics.

I think it goes both ways...I only care for physics. Some people like SEGA GT2002, Gran Turismo, PGR2 type of game play were you have to achieve stuff...

I get the kicks out of spending hours twaeking my setups and hot lapping for days...

For me the ultimate game would be something with GTRs physics and cars of GT4 *drools at the thought..................or something like NFS 3 with some hardcore physics :shock:

Yeah, considering that the CGT in the picture is warped weirdly so that it looks bulbous and bloated, I'll definitely choose Forza over GT4...oh wait...was that a Forza screenshit? Sorry, I think GT4 is the game for me.

actually the ingame looks alot better than any screenshot of Forza out there. (I do have the demo). But its just the opposite for GT4(modded and taken in action replay screenshots). Forzas screens do not give the game justice at all.

I've played GT4 and while it doesn't have quite the poly count of Forza or this game, but the gameplay is quite impressive, esp. with the 900 degree Logitech Driving Force Pro wheel. Even though the poly count is lower, the dimensions and renderings of the vehicles and scenery look more realistic than the screenshits that keep getting posted of Forza.

My quick two cents: Good looking graphics from those shots, but it lacks the time-bred pedigree name of "GT," and for that reason alone it will not be serious competition for GT4 although it might rob a few sales from it.
