It's all good. You have a point though, if it was necessary I would be very pissed off, why waste money on a body kit when I can buy a perfectly good Turbo.

In fact - when replaying GT3, I really enjoyed the challenge of completing races with fewer and fewer mods..

This really tested your driving more than your budget skills in buying the best mods.

I think those game programmers are just not making the 100% use of X-Box hardware. X-Box supposingly have better hardware in every single way than a PS2 yet graphics of GT4 is stunning in every detail while games like Fronza still appear to be a bit more arcade(ish).

Those body kits and AI design, I really don't think it will be needed in GT4, for most ppl who buys GT4 are going after the fact it is the next best thing than driving the real deal. Ppl who cares about appearance of their cars can always buy NFSU2. They are just making a clear cut of their market. That is quite clever, for Fronza will never be able to steal much sales from GT4. Polyphony and Sony dumps tons of money into R&D and testing real cars, and real cars with mods, I doubt Fronza have done the same. This alone makes it apples and oranges comparison IMO.

^^^ have you even checked out the screen shots for Forza it makes GT4 look like PS1??? I don't see the arcadey look either? when you watch this vid of Forza they even show you the suspension and the tires working on bumps and turns.

People who buy Forza do it for realistic everything from looks to mods to physics to gameplay to AI. And Forza won't need to use all of X-box. Having power is not the same as using power I don't think there has been a game to use the whole power of a console ever. BTW the GT4 pics that look great are in replay which is buffed to look better. Plus Forza doesn't need to compete with GT they're on two different consoles and SRS and Juiced suck compare to Forza hands down. Being on a different console gives the game a whole different community to sell to and only 20-30% of that community has xbox and Ps2 and 50-60% of the are getting both, 8-5% of them are getting Forza alone, 10-15% aren't getting racing games, 17% are getting GT4 alone.

how can you even compare the graphics.

your going to compare these:

GT4:











http://www.gamerswave.com/ps2140503.htm

with these:

Forza Motorsport













c'mon how can you compare?

The ones that look like PGR2 on GT4 are replays not in game these screen shots all of them are in game.

GT4:







Forza:

see what I mean by arcade(ish)?:


I don't see how the physics engine comes into play here, clearly there's no body roll in those 2:

5vz-fe like I have said those are from replay not game play. Forza doesn't arcadish that pics shows the depth and look of the background how does it look arcadey.


Pics don't show physics watch the video please.
