Forza Motorsport 7 Is Already Being Compared To Gran Turismo 7

Why does it matter? Both look good. And both are fun (I'm assuming GT is fun, I've never played it). I'm looking forward to the new Forza game, hopefully this year

Why is it being compared to a 5 year old game? Lol . Gt sport came out close to the same year is fm7 it should be compared to gt sport.

I feel like Gran Turismo has always had poor graphics. I played a bit of Gran Turismo 5 on PS3 back in the day and the cars/tracks looked okay but the environment was terrible. People looked absolutely atrocious and the vegetation was like paper cutouts.

Played through Forza Motorsport 6 these past few weeks and it still looks gorgeous. Can't even imagine what the next Forza Motorsport is going to look like.

Both games look amazing but Forza has the edge as it always does, Forza is just a visual masterpiece at this point no matter which version. GT7 so far has been great for me but i do think Forza surpassed GT back on 360 to be honest.

@LtSarge The last GT game to have stunning graphics was GT4, Forza just got better each entry.

@WallyWest Exactly. GT4 was quite something at the time and is still imo the best GT game. The franchise has been going down since. On the other hand, Forza did the opposite. It just got better and better with each release. Haven't played GT7 but considering the track record since GT4, it's just not a priority for me anymore.

GT 7 looks to be an excellent racing game and I am sure a lot of folks over on PlayStation will have a fun with it.

Forza Motorsport 7 was also pretty good and a lot of folks had fun with it as well.

My preference Assetto Corsa Competizione is also fun for me. I spend a lot of time playing and racing on it.

The nit picking about what looks best or feels best when it's doing this, that or the other is well it's tiresome, boring and gets pretty childish at times.

At the end of the day the important point is the fun part and you play what you have fun with. You should be polite enough to give the same courtesy to other folks without being derogatory of their choices.

Me I am happy that PlayStation and GT7 have had a good positive launch. It's brings more folks into the genre and just generally brings more positivity to the racing genre. This is a good thing for all genre fans regardless of your own preferences or platform choice.

This would be a good time for Microsoft to officially announce FM8!

@LtSarge GT5&6 are by far the low point of the series. 1-4 were revolutionary at the time, then they seemed to hit a slump and then brought it back. 7 is fantastic true return to form imho. Hopefully FM8 pushes the boundaries even further.

Getting GT7 today and looking forward to it, but it is pretty impressive how well Forza 7 stacks up being 5 years old.

Forza Motorsport 7 looked amazing when it came out on One X and holds up incredibly well almost 5 years later on Series X. GT7 looks great on PS5 and I would give it a slight edge after playing it this morning.

Both games are great and gamers are lucky to have options. 🙂

I loved FM7, cant wait for FM8, but in the meantime I will play Gran Turismo 7. Forza is the better serie but GT is not bad.

Lets be honest, they both serve their target audience with the 'best' racing games for their respective platforms. There is no need to buy a PS5 to play GT7 if you have an Xbox and can play FM7 and vice-versa.

Its also testament to the quality of Turn10 Studio's and what they achieved with Motorsport 7 - It won Best Racing Game of the Year for a reason - beating GTSport. However, GT7 is a much more complete package now and looks to add more Dynamic Weather -something FM7 has too.

Personally, I prefer Forza Motorsport to Gran Turismo because Gran Turismo takes itself far too seriously which can take the 'fun' out of the 'GAME'. I say 'game', but GT is much more like a 'sim' and expects you to 'drive' to the 'strict' rules of racing. Its not like you are 'endangering' anyone if you dive up the inside and use the car ahead to get round the corner - fun in Forza, punishment in GT.

That's perhaps the 'biggest' difference. Forza Motorsport offers the 'same' Sim like handling and visual quality but doesn't forget that its a 'Game' too. GT has always been more towards Simulation and gaining licences to 'race', strict enforcement of racing rules etc - which seem more 'weighted' against you than the AI drivers who cut you up, hit you from behind etc and somehow, you get penalties against you.

Some may prefer the more Sim style that GT offers, others may prefer Forza that allows you to be as Serious or as 'fun' as you want your Career path progress to be.

Both are the 'best' track Racing 'Sim' Games on their respective platforms though regardless

Both are GREAT, no point in this besides fanboy baiting

Car models look much better in Forza

GT 7 looks stunning on PS5, a proper next gen game. I will wait to see what Motorsport 8 looks like though. And I suspect that’s a few years off yet.

From what I've seen, beyond just these clips, GT has superior lighting, materials textures, and fine details when you zoom in too close on the cars, but Forza has way more cars and a better third-person camera. Nitpicks, really. You can't go wrong either way (except that you can't actually purchase Forza Motorsport 7 if you don't have it already)!

Excited to see what they have in store for the next Forza, though. It's been a while since that teaser trailer!

I don't know what's worse, fanboys flaming wars on forums, or the people constantly crying about the media, the media, the media, and that articles like these are "fanboy/click-baiting" ... lol. Lighten up.

I own both games, on the next-gen systems, with a pretty fancy wheel & pedal setup. And while I do most of my gaming on my PS5, the simple fact that you can still compare these 2 games graphically (yeah, even despite the fact that GT7 was built on the PS4 game engine), is a testament to how great a game FM7 was, how much of a powerhouse it was, how ahead of its time it was ...

@LtSarge that was a crap one. GT4 was a gem, not as much hype as GT3, but I think that’s the pinnacle of the series. I’ll play GT7 when I can score a disc system for $350 on Black Friday

I just wish F1 looked half as good

The goofy Twitter comparisons act as an equalizer for graphics due to low resolution and compression. Disappointing to see them posted as a news article here.

Would rather some thing comparing content and gameplay differences.

That is such a biased vid obvs posted by a fanboy!!! Forza does look great, i’m hyped for the next one but the GT7 vid shows the game during a slight drizzle. I have the game and the weather is incredible an it effects the performance of ya car. In torrential rain it looks life like!!

Came thinking well obviously gran turismo will look better ...but Forza actually did in that clip

Forza is definitely my go to for racing. Great series, saying that, I'm having a good time with GT7. Definitely the best in the series for quite a while now.

People try to jump on anything anymore.

The Dualsense motion controls are where GT7 brings it into the next gen, so fluid and responsive. Unlike any experience I've had aside from a racing wheel.

Having missed a few few GT entries & favoured FM, GT is back, like in the old days back. GT1 vibes with huge memories. I like playing race games and GT has an unique vibe that makes it totally worth playing today. Circuit Superstars, Hotwheels Unleashed, Grid Legends, FM7, FH5, F1, Dirt 5, Project Cars 3, GT7, Horizon Chase Turbo Senna DLC, Rally Rush Origins & even RR3 on iPad, all have something unique imo (if you like race games). Playing GT7 with the DS is okay but not that remarable imo but the game gives me a whole blast from the past (sounds, replays, licenses, ...). It looks awesome! (Scapes are cool). You can only look forward to see the first gameplay of FM8 (+ new engine).

Microsoft should release a series x/s patch out of pure spite 😆

I am still thinking about getting GT7 but I am just not impressed with it. Great looking cars, but poor environments. Since you have to look at those environments over, and over again, that should have been a priority. They could have spent a little less time on the cars and they would still look great, and spent that time elsewhere to make the visuals more consistent. The environments look like crap, straight up. Would love to feel the gyro steering but the visuals will not keep my interest long. Not to mention the frame rate problems, occasional as it may be, and always online.
