Game mode, career wise, real car damage and physics etc. GT5 is obviously graphics are superior its a new game on a new console.

But the character in Toca surpasses the GT5 one.

Also note that all of the pictures above were not taken in game, so saying that cars in race don't look as good is a moot point.

Are you accusing me of accusing you of photoshopping a pic? If so please show me ANYWHERE in my thread where I said that. If you can prove otherwise please do.

You still don't get it. So you're telling me in those GT5 photos there's a guy driving his car from the "in front of the car with no view of the road ahead" camera?

Huh? I was asking you a serious question, and then affirming that I did not photoshop that picture.

I'm not sure what you mean by "in front of the car with no view of the road ahead" camera, but all of those pictures were roughly from the same camera angle, which was my point.

What is your point? I'm not getting it. What I'm saying is to get the good pictures on ANY of these games you have to stop the action. Once you stop the action and go into the photomode of any of these games things change. You're not "in-game" any more. You're in their respective photomodes which are two different applications, if you will.

Ok, I see what you mean now. So this is what you wanted?

GT 5:

Spoiler

Forza 3:

Spoiler

As someone who hasn't played Forza 3 in a long time, someone tell me if that isn't the right game. I still think GT 5 looks better, but that's purely an opinion.

[randombrother]

That's exactly what I mean. As you see neither game has the same look on the cars as they do in a photomode. GT5 no doubts looks better but it isn't leaps and bounds above FM3. There's but so much these systems can do. And in my opinion, and it's purely my opinion, if I didn't have any system I couldn't justify shelling out 299 just for that. If the PS3 was exactly the same price as the 360 I'd go PS3 all day for the game. Honestly though, I'd have to think about it. The A.I. in GT5 really isn't that good and honestly at times had me wanting to bang my steering wheel. I never had that with FM3.

EDIT: Don't know why PD insist we have all that junk on the screen. I like to drive like the FM3 screen shot, with nothing on screen. It's kinda hard with friends though because when I want to call out position I don't know who's car I'm looking at sometimes. lol. I like the horn feature in GT5 because I can just blow the horn now. But being that they have names over top of the cars with all other stuff it makes the horn moot. LOL. One game has horn but it's absolutely useless, the other doesn't have it but absolutely vital if racing in the purest form with no HUD.

I don't know if I would justify shelling out the cash for a PS3 just for GT 5 either, but I don't want to enter a console debate.

As for the intrusive HUD, yeah, I agree. Hopefully it can be patched.

Well you know how that goes so for the record neither whitesox or I are talking console wars people need to keep that away from here thank you. I think we're both talking about the value of a dollar these days, lol

I hope the HUD can be patched also but I don't see them doing that. I think that's their "trademark" and they may be too proud to take it off the screen. Besides, Sony doesn't make plasma TVs anymore so they don't care.
