This is a tribute
We expect to see Gran Turismo 5 before Christmas. No, more than that, we demand it. Demand!
We’ve been waiting for years and the Prologue wasn’t enough. We need the full game, full internet connectivity, racing leagues, hundreds of cars, the lot, all in hi-res glory.
Videos like this, a dedication to the new 458 Ferrari by Gran Turismo’s creators Polyphony, just make us more frustrated.
It’s sensational, of course, and it’s interesting to compare it with Forza’s tribute. While Polyphony’s is artistic, zooms right in on tiny details like the individual bulbs on the tail lights, Forza’s is all about action and drama, and lacks the subtletly of the Gran Turismo effort. But that’s Forza for you – a good game but an arcade game, where GT5 will be more a simulation.
We can’t wait, Sony, so enough of the trailers enough of the dedications, let’s get a launch date and let’s get playing.
A rumour has just broken that it won't be out until March 2010, which just isn't good enough. But that's unofficial as yet, so when the news breaks, you’ll read it here first.
So for now, watch the awesome video...
Want to comment on this?
I'll start a rumour for you: GT5 will not be released untill the PS4 comes out. . I really hope they release it november though, I want to play it allready.

You have to remind yourself at times that it's not live action even though it looks it, the detail and realism is incredible. Is it my imagination or is that a white suited racer with a white helmet driving?

Forza 2 matched actual lap times with same cars in real life and in game "better" than the last GT

FORZA IS THE BEST! I have played all the great racing games but forza is magnificent. The feeling of the driving and the reality of the game is perfect. No other games are great simulation as forza. Also the tunning, damaging and upgrading cars options are awesome. Im really waiting for it and Im advising all of you the FORZA. Its not very easy to play first but when you get used to it, IT will be Enjoyment BLAST!

In GT5, you can lock your wheels and still steer with ease. What kind of simulation is that? Jezus tires? Pity steering physics? Check out "Gran Turismo 5 Tire Physics 101 - Tire Locked Steering" on youtube.

Forza cannot compare to GT5, although i have played Forza 2 and i do like it dont get me wrong, but ive had every GT game so far and i think GT5 is gonna blow Forza 3 away in a cloud of tire smoke.

This is amazing, however try this link even better if you like this sort of thing. Just to clear things up as well, GT5 is not out yet but will be released next March (Confirmed yesterday, 23/09/09), at the moment! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuRMLp_xOz0&feature=player_embedded

OMG... I cant believe the ignorance of who wrote this... "that?s Forza for you ? a good game but an arcade game, where GT5 will be more a simulation." FM ALWAYS has been a major simulation. Handling and tuning is just as SIMULATION as GT, and as far as AI, is wayyyy beyond GT. Hopefully GT5 will have good AI, unlike previous games to match the graphics. Oh and regarding graphics, the Forza video is ingame where as PD confirmed that this video is CGI, although it "should look close". Why not just show the real thing, who cares about CGI when it comes to games. SOny did the same thing for Killzone 2 to get people hyped up. ITS HOW IT PLAYS NOT HOW IT LOOKS PEOPLE...

I'm sorry, but I'm stumped as to why the person who wrote this article decided that they get to classify Forza as an arcade racer...it isn't. At this point it seems entirely feasible that Forza 3's ability to accurately simulate the physics involved could rival or even exceed GT5's. And at the end of the day you won't have spent $40 to play a demo of it beforehand.

GT5 - 950 cars, 70 tracks, unbeatable physics & graphics, March 2010 in Japan, a little later in Europe (n4g.com - search Gran Turismo 5). Forza will have better customisation, if history serves, but Gran Turismo has always been about the cars themselves, and the inclusion of photo-drive and photo-shoot only enhance that idea. As if the cars are works of art, or characters. That's what sets it apart like nothing else does.

Also, guess who just won their class in a 4-hour Endurance race on the Nurburgring Nordschleife? GT creator and head of Polyphony Digital Kazunori Yamauchi. Here's an unbiased (haha, yeah right) quote "In his first racing car, in his first international race, and competing on the Nurburgring for the first time, this achievement proves above all else that training within Gran Turismo is truly effective."

love the car and great vid (with great music!) but got to echo many comments and contest the comments on GT and forza 3 - you just have to play forza 2 or 3 and GT:Prologue and realise that GT may have the looks, the sounds, the cars, the tracks etc etc but it's clearly been outdone by what really matters: the handling and game physics. but this is off topic, and i want to watch this video again!

Fanboy wars are always such entertainment - there's truly nothing like two squads of basement dwellers trying to flame each other until crispy over something so mind-numbingly trivial. As my old physics teacher oft said - no sense, no shame. :) That being said, nice vid...........

GT 5 is out next March, but in Japan ONLY !! Good vid, but I doubt the actual gameplay will look anything like it. I'll stick with Forza 2 and the Forza 3 demo, until Forza 3 is released.

Not suprising that Top Gear are behind GT5 seeing as the track and lots of top gear clips are going to be in the game! Forza is not an arcade style game its a racing sim and a good one at that! Obviously the writer has never played Forza 2! And speaking of Rumors I heard that Sony MAY licence GT5 out - that means it will be avaliable on all platforms! Would it still be worth buying your PS3 then?

Oh and well done to the makers of GT5 for sticking a dodgy soundtrack over the video so as to cover up the fact that they have not developed the engine sound for the car!

Wow. Who the hell wrote this feature? Do your research properly next time. Shame on you TG for employing such a lazy writer. GT5 will not be out by Christmas and from history we'll be lucky to get it by Christmas 2010 if the estimates for Japan are in March. No comment on which GAME will be bettter... because both are going to be massively popular. I bet I'll never driver all 400 cars in FM3 though (unless there's an achievement for it, lol) let alone the 900 odd in GT5.

Forza the arcade game and GT5 the real simulation? Name a car in real life that can crash into a wall head on at 200 mph and come out without a dent? Forza makes you become a better driver within the game. Bunch of Luddites.

On what planet is Forza 3 an arcade game? I'm going to buy GT5 rather than F3, so I am not biased to the 360, but go and play Forza 2 or the Forza 3 demo and rewrite your article, because an arcade game it is NOT. And don't expect this game before summer. March 2010 is a Japan release date only at the moment. I want your job, not only because I like cars and video games, but because I would do it a damn sight better than you. http://uk.ign.com/ Here's a website, do your research. I expect more from this site.

are u kidding, forza an arcade game? First off it is NOT an arcade game but it is the gt for xbox. Forza also has way better damage, it even has roll over in the 3rd game, where is gt damage...oh inexistant until the newest games. Forza had it long ago. Forza is way more physicaly sound to, they even have factered in tire roll why cornering, not even to mention the customization and custom painting. Don't get me wrong, gt5 will be a very good game and while drive great, and is amazing for having the top gear test track...but it is lacking in suficing all areas of cars, its not all about driving

I doubt a game like forza whose physics engine detects whats going on with the car 360 times a second could be classified as an arcade racer. And after playing GT5 prologue and the Forza 3 demo, I give the physics edge to forza. Physics not graphics are what define a racing sim, it should feel like driving a car not just look like it. One last note to the author, the only reason anyone compares these to games is because they're simulations...

The guys are certainly taking their time to release GT5 and as its gonna be released much after Forza 3, I'm pretty sure the guys are gonna smoothen GT5 enough to give it the edge over Forza. Or else they wouldn't keep delaying GT5's release over and over again. They longer they take to develop the game, the better it'll be!

"Forza 3 is just an arcade racer." :| I sir, will bet you 25 pounds that if you went to go play the Forza 3 Demo right now, you will resent that comment. I love GT, I've had every game since the original, but I sincerely believe that Forza will beat it, because of the immense phyics, and the community overall. Everything is so connected in Forza, with the community storefront, auctionhouse, leaderboards and unrivaled online gameplay. Eyecandy isn't everything people. It's all about the way the game feels.

i am definately looking forward to GT5 me and 3 friends got together and drove the 24hr Nurburgring race on GT4 for charity and the game/track has been held in our hearts since. So much so that a couple of us have the game on pre-order for whenever it comes out. 'Good things come to those who wait' GT5 FTW!!! :D

Gran Turismo lost its heart since GT3 the rest have been more about graphical showboating rather than pure simulation glory (AKA GT1 GT2). Sort it out Polyphony!
