This or GT7?
I do have a PS5 but I game here and on PS5 I have to pay another amount for the PSN. Which game is better now?

Hello,

Before giving my opinion, I want to say that I love the Forza Motorsport series, I had Forza 2, 3, 4, 7 and currently the "8"/reboot. For me the best Forza is Forza 4 (I didn't have an Xbox One and therefore I didn't play 5 and 6), and I don't understand this big step backwards compared to Forza "8"/reboot compared to those on Xbox 360, I mean even Forza 2 had more content... and a better multiplayer lobby system, and Forza 4 was just perfect (for me).

Concerning the Gran Turismo, I had 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and currently the 7. My favorite GT is GT4, by the number and different models of cars, it was amazing for the PS2 era and graphically it was almost as good as GT5 on PS3 (putting aside the image aliasing). After GT4, I quickly preferred the Forza Motorsport series and it started with Forza 2 on Xbox 360, I spent so many hours in multiplayer and I met friends with whom I still talk.

Forza 7 was my return to the series but on PC, since I didn't have an Xbox One to do Forza 5 and 6. I started to be disappointed with Forza 7, there was no more engine swapp logic by car manufacturer like the old Forza, and I found that apart from the graphics there was a step backwards in the series, but at least I still had fun and I enjoyed playing multiplayer on track, in drift and in drag racing. Whereas Forza "8", how can I put it... It's boring... I don't understand? For me Forza "8" is a betrayal to fans of the old Forza Motorsport games, it's austere, the menus are the worst in the series, the multiplayer is the poorest in the series, the choice of cars is the worst of the series, the ridiculous choice of circuits compared to Forza 4 (good old Fujimi Kaido and the other circuits), giving the impression that it is not Turn10 who developed this reboot of Forza but amnesiacs who do not know not the license? Maybe the developers are coming back from Lost Island? The developers have been replaced by Terminators? Give us back our developers (joke)!

So yes, there are microtransactions in GT7 but at no time did I feel obliged to buy credits, because we quickly reached races which allow you to earn 200,000 credits + 50% in the event of a perfect race (without hitting other cars, without leaving the track or taking shortcuts), so after a while it's quick to get +1,000,000 credits by doing 4 races.

I would also add that since the launch of the game, we have had new cars for free with updates without needing to buy DLC, notably JDM cars, racing cars, and even a Renault 4 (long live France , haha!). Besides, all cars have interactions, turning on the headlights, the indicators, the horn/siren, which gives a little extra.

GT7 is not perfect! Some cars are unfairly expensive compared to older Gran Turismos, I mean when does a GTR R34 or Honda NSX have to cost between 400,000/600,000 credits? Whereas in GT4 it was like 30,000 credits, but as I explained before it's quickly easy to obtain 1,000,000 credits, so we'll say that it compensates and it forces us to choose our cars better.

For me GT7 is so much better than Forza 8 in every area and in multiplayer it is possible to drive freely on the Nürburgring and for that alone GT7 was already one step ahead.

Now, I hope Turn10 will do what's necessary and give us the Forza "8" we deserve! Because Forza Motorsport has long been important to me, and I'm not a Gran Turismo fan boy.

Excuse me for my english (translator) :)

I really wonder why people say GT7 is more realistic.
I have been playing GT since GT2. Maybe I am too used to it.

Playing Froza (this is my first one), I was suprised.
IMO the physics are waaay better, cars dont glue to the track, the sound is better.
The small details make it for me. GT7 is too clincal for me.

GT7 has better AI but that's it.
Just from a grind perspective, I would go for Forza.
Have fun farming credits in GT7 and driving the same track 20 times just so you get one car that you spend 15 million credits on.

As I said, maybe I am too used to GT, but Forza showed me how much GT can improve upon smaller details and general game economy.
So far I'd say FORZA.

but so far I have seen many saying GT7 has better physics and more accuracy than FM and players like super GT are recommending GT7.

GT7 if you have a wheel. Forza if you play on controller.
GT7 multiplayer is way better.

GT7 considering the amount of content the game has.
This game, a year later, still bare bones.

GT7 for sure or honestly any other Motorsport game other then this one Turn 10 doesnt bother to fix their game more then half the people cant even play and when you can its the same as launch just optimization is x10 worse which makes no sense

i havent tried this Forza but i have GT7 and the thing i like the most is the "care" on car details inside and outside, cars sound and feel somewhat different
now with track details and weather effects i think GT7 lacks a bit and this Forza have more beutiful enviroments

They call it Forza Motorsport, yet in the single player its all road cars (or was before i stopped playing) 🤦🏻‍♂️

GT7 is miles better than this trash, if only it was ported to PC.

That is not even a real question :D GT 7 is far better.

I didn't say GT7 was more realistic. I said it was better.

If you have a console, GT7 100 percent.

This here game hovewer, should be avoided, even if youre constrained to just PC. There are other more fun, better (and cheaper!) titles out there.

I just don't play racing games anymore. I wasn't into the racing so much, as I was into the wide selection of cars, and using them casually on open track days. There's nothing to do with these cars in this version.

This game is so bad, I just don't play any racing games now. If I had a PS5, I'd play GT7. As it is, I only play BeamNG now. At least regarding driving games.

GT7, they have a finished game and they haven't lied in their marketing material.

GT7 (High quality content every month or two for FREE), Assetto Corsa/ACC, Forza Horizon 5, and Automobelista 2, are way better than this turd.

Ifi you do choose GT7 but beware of the grind or pay real money to even think of buying the supercar you want to drive. Singleplayer is just as bad as Forza and you have to pay to play online, then you get stuck with all those stupid imaginary VGT cars so Sony/Polyphony can avoid paying real car licenses. Less buggy than Forza but I wouldn't call a full time job grinding for credits a better game. Also don't make me talk about the invitation only to buy "rare" cars and stupid ways of buying "limited" rare/supercars.
