Yamauchi: Forza is “different from a simulator”

Heh heh – this will end well!

hahaha

they can’t do much on them consoles that is why

lol

Silly comment really… given his only frame of reference is his own game (having repeatedly said that he doesn’t play other racing games in the past).

Still, at least he’s opening up to new ideas.

“It’s very similar in a lot of aspects to Gran Turismo”

Yeah, no shit.

HEY!

I emailed you guys 2/3 days ago with the interview and got no credit =(

I pointed out that Yamauchi responds to a question about beginners aids saying you’ll be able to ‘reverse your game’.

So… what do you think? Will we be seeing a Forza/DiRT rewind mechanic in GT?

He also says the GT5 has cost $60 million to make as of now.

Well I’m not trying to start anything but I’ve never seen a car do this in any Gran Turismo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iDTXYA_9nQ

Yes you are… and you do realise that when you car rolls you can control it with the left stick? Which is exactly what’s going on there. (I think it’s stupid that you can get your car to move around when it’s rolling, or on its roof but that’s another story)

But the reason you’ve never seen it do that in GT is that GT has never had damage, and it’s never had rollovers. GT does this instead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7OxlIHfc4Q / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ0efdot1sw

Heh! Looks to me like they’re both about as much of a ‘simulation’ as each other.

I wonder if it bothers these guys, that in the absence of the geniune article(GT itself), Forza has done so well. I think if GT would have come out a couple of times here and there, that Forza wouldn’t have gained such a market share. At this point most gamers will probably not find too much a difference between the two. They will probably be happy with either.

Or both in my case OlderGamer… or at least I will be as soon as GT5 arrives (not to mention my Fanatec wheel!).

You have no idea how badly I want one of those Logitech wheels for the PS3/PC. I could play F1 champ ed the way it should be played. I will most likly pass on GT as I did on Forza though. But I want that wheel!

Yeah, they’re a lot of fun. You can pick up the G25 for very little these days too (at least relative to what they launched for / what the G27 sells for).

Well….and again I’m not trying to start anything at least those cars stayed on their wheels while spinning out of control. Having a car going crazy while mimicking a ballet recital on its front bumper is just plain WTF.

and really I shouldn’t say this because I know you think I’m trying to be an ass but prologue is just a demo…something that “isn’t” the final product…..and it still “looks better” than Forza3……even though Forza3 was “released a year after” GT prologue….???….once again I’m not trying to start anything I’m sure GT5 won’t be perfect either.

Never noticed tearing or shonky framerate in Froza 3.
Pricey demo. Easy to look good when the AI isn’t there.
/fails at starting things

p.s. like psycho I’m eagerly awaiting GT5

@12 The driving force pro is still a good wheel to use on the ps3 and you can pick it up for less than £50

Every GT game has had a similar sort of thing to that TEA. You see… if you weren’t trying to start something you’d appreciate that when you have hundreds of thousands of people playing and recording their games you’re going to see odd glitches now and again (ignoring the fact that all the player needed to do there was push their left stick).

But you are trying to start something. Go on, admit it.

(By the way, GT will always look better than Forza, it’s the game’s primary focus)

I like Forza3 btw so yea…

“(By the way, GT will always look better than Forza, it’s the game’s primary focus)”

Zing!

lol

There’s also a flying car bug which happens in multiplayer on Forza 3, which you can see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIeqSEVQzY8 (admit it, there’s nothing cooler than a flying car!)

I can probably find more ammunition for you if you want.

Nice spin on the words there Pat. He says …

“It’s a little bit different from what a simulator is.” – you knock off the “little bit” for effect.

He says …

“It’s very similar in a lot of aspects to Gran Turismo. Some base components of the game are very different from Gran Turismo.”

Which apparently translates as “Yamauchi’s told Autoweek the Forza 3 doesn’t match up in the realism stakes to GT”.

I think the most important aspect of the article is that they are actually playing Forza 3 – which is a very good thing. They seem to have been in a bubble for a very long time and it will be good for them to see what Turn 10 have produced – which is a very, very good game.

theevilaires said: O.G. be careful. This generation of gaming is fast and very competitive try not to get arthritis while playing some of these games.

ZING!

ZANG!

ZONG!

KAPOW?

If we’re doing comedy sound effects, I’ll raise you one of these:

Get out of my patch cabbage, always sucking up me nutrients.

GT smells of oil and Forza smells of rubber, what’s that about?

Always room for more vegetables in here

lol @ “wank” image.

KABLAM!….the nickelodeon 90′s show

Wank? I mean honestly…

glol! That Captain America picture is fucking priceless!

That Captain America pic is amazing.

Even more entertaining is that Photobucket will let you put it on a mug! Ideal for the office!
