Turn 10 On Forza 3: No Game Competes with Us

Forza Motorsport 3 game director Dan Greenwalt is proud of his game. More specifically, he believes that Forza 3 has surpassed all of the competition, most notably Gran Turismo.

Blaze9296069d ago

then yes, they are correct. Can do some really amazing things in Forza 2 and I'm sure it'll just grow even larger in Forza 3.

No game competes with them on that level. But they really need to shut up now.

JokesOnYou6069d ago (Edited 6069d ago )

but note he was ASKED to compare his game with Need for Speed and Gran Turismo....I mean that basicly his chance to sell his game, and tell people you're confident in your product. Its like asking a male porn star, "how does'...well you know.

edit: @Dragun619, yeah thats good, sounds like both men are proud about what their doing, BOTH Forza and GT are amazing racing games, anybody who says different is crazy.

JOY

PistolPumptMonk6069d ago (Edited 6069d ago )

Good point. But to say that no games even COMPETE? Thats a little much. Anyway only time will tell how these games stack up against each other. I will say that I don't think Need for Speed will be up there with the other two judging by the poor quality of the past few.

Dragun6196069d ago

"So, props to Kazunori Yamauchi-san and the PS1 team," said Greenwalt. "That said," he continued, "I feel that he's passed us the baton. Perhaps he hasn't meant to, but we have taken the genre to new levels and they've stopped evolving the genre. So again, tremendous respect to him, but I'd say the differentiator is they're old school." He conclued, "The emperor's naked, and I don't want to, you know, I don't want to slap him around, but no game competes [with] us right now."

Wow, Quite a bold statement even though Kazunori Yamauchi doesn't even know what Forza is.

Eurogamer: One of the things that stood out in Microsoft's press conference was the Forza team saying it was the definitive simulation racer. How do you feel about that?

Kazunori Yamauchi: I don't exactly know what their announcement was about, but we've evolved over 10 years through our history, towards GT5, and I don't know if it's something that can be compared.

ChrisGTR16069d ago (Edited 6069d ago )

forza and GT are really good simulator games,they each have their strengths, i do feel like GT has started falling behind in innovation and just giving us the same exact game everytime just with better graphics. forza has damage modeling,decal customization,body kits, online auction house, and a online mode that lets you play career races online.

now in the new one its going to have a video editor where you can upload the vid directly from the 360 to a WMV file.. thats just awesome right there. on top of that the graphics look WAY better than forza 2 did which i thought looked like crap.

snipermk06069d ago

Isn't it too early in the game to decide who's won?

lokiroo4206069d ago

HA,can i come with you to....

UnSelf6069d ago

jwatt6069d ago

Wow I freaking love this! Competition at it's best.

Why o why6069d ago (Edited 6069d ago )

is for the fanboy ear. You can sell a game without saying such things. It reminds me of the ted price vs cliffy b comments all over again and didnt T10 just admit that their game is 720 upscaled to 1080 after all their 'definitive' speak from a technical standpoint ¬_¬. Stuff like this can come back to haunt ya......just ask sony. SOME took offence to some of their speak and they got their comeuppance even for things they didnt actually say. Anyhow if this is the way he feels fit to promote his game then thats his business I just hope this hyping pays of for you guys because some will not let you forget it if sh!t goes belly up. Show some humility and people will respect you more than if you dont show any especially when you haven't even played the leaders game yet.

@ Darkeyes

exactly

@ iDystopia

lol@u

Darkeyes6069d ago (Edited 6069d ago )

Tch tch.... You see this is what really pisses me off. Have the Forza developers seen how GT5 is? The GT developers haven't seen what Forza can do... So they are keeping their mouth shut... But these arrogant devs can't stop spewing crap from their mouth. Maybe Forza can out do GT5, but leave the conclusions after both game hit the market.

This is just bullsh*t said to hype the game. Just give some respect to the opposition for once. The GT series has been legendary and is around for a longer time. 50 million GT sold says a lot... People aren't fools to buy a GT game everytime it shows up. Ya Forza is the new kid on the block and has great potential. But if the Forza devs can give a definitive reason why Forza will be better in terms of gameplay and graphics compared to GT5, then give them or else STFU.

EDIT: Below
@iDystopia: You are the biggest troll I have seen here. GT4 not AAA.. jerk the game sold more than 10 million greater than any Halo.... Are you freaking serious. GT5P was a demo dumbass and yet it sold 3.7 million copies... Ya you jerks can bring up MetaCritics all you want... That is the biggest crap in existence... Take few scores who give 10 and take few scores who give 7 combine them and you have metacritic...

" Forza is the highest rated racing franchise. ".... Ya that is why GT franchise has sold more than 50 million copies world wide GREATER THAN THE HALO FRANCHISE+GEARS FRANCHISE+THE FORZA FRANCHISE COMBINED.... That is why Racers always prefer GT series.... Man I just want to see the look on your face when GT5 comes out. You guys just pray that the GT5 release date is nowhere near Forzas release date cause a 50 million franchise will steam roll over Forza..

iDystopia6069d ago

"Wow, Quite a bold statement even though Kazunori Yamauchi doesn't even know what Forza is. "

Maybe he should find out....Forza and Forza 2 were AAA rated and Gran Turismo 4 and GT5: Prologue were not.

Maybe he should take some tips, as of now, Forza is the highest rated racing franchise.

We will see if Gran Turismo beats Forza 3.

Hydrolex6069d ago (Edited 6069d ago )

and I believe KIA has the best cars in the world. Lamborghini is a joke, we beat them

They are not confident in their game, they are OVERCONFIDENT

Information Minister6069d ago

... The kind of articles we would be reading by now if PD were half as arrogant as Turn 10.

Why o why6069d ago

thats right....we compete with them ¬_¬

*Grabs the popcorn and sit relax while reading comments*
On topic: everyone can dream, i also dream that when i make websites it is the best in the market and even bill gates himself will admire me. :)

thanks

Bnet3436069d ago

I'm glad they have a lot of confidence. I like Forza a lot. The community aspect is amazing. Can't wait for Forza 3.

JokesOnYou6069d ago (Edited 6069d ago )

The bottom line is Forza3 is Forza2 with a new coat of paint and a few other upgraded features= Quality confirmed, the 3+ mil Forza fans including myself and a at least 1+ mil more will be buying Forza3= All around success ALREADY CONFIRMED. GT series is awesome too and will definitely be both quality and commercial success, so the fact that both devs are going to talk up their games as the best ever really will have little to do with sales, Forza fans are still going to buy Forza3 and GT fans are still highly anticipating and will definitely buy GT5, and the huge racing fans will likely buy both.

JOY

littletad6069d ago

Same can be said for Sony

"Next-gen doesn't start till we say it does"
"We don't care" (referring to what their competitors do)

Or even Nintendo. Seriously now, that's just silly logic. Pride is great, and a nice way to promote a game. And most important, their only made to alert the rabid fans, hence your cue.

aldesko6069d ago (Edited 6069d ago )

GT4 is one point lower on metacritic than Forza 2... is the line between AAA and AA that thin?

el zorro6069d ago

I am a huge racing fan and like I said in another news story Forza and Forza 2 already started to seriously win me over from Gran Turismo and Forza 3 looks so good now. I think it definitely might end up being the better racing/car sim.

Shadow Flare6069d ago

lol did this guy not see the gt5 teaser trailer? The arrogance is almost as bad as greenberg. Microsoft seems to be full of people like that. I'm looking at you Balmer

Jaces6069d ago

and yet GT seems to sell more...huh.

vhero6069d ago

I think they are talking 2009 since gt5 ain't out till 2010 and they might be right since he comparing it to prologue obviously....

el zorro6069d ago (Edited 6069d ago )

Oh please, he expressed how much respect he has for Mr. Yamaguchi and was respectful about expressing his opinion that his studio's game is better than the competition's. He's proud of his game and from what I have seen of it, he deserves to be.

If you want to stretch stuff the way you always do, you could say that Mr. Yamaguchi was disrespectful at E3 by not acknowledging his competitor's work and instead pretending like he wasn't even aware what they were working on. Yeah right. Forza is by far their biggest competitor and ideally he should have recognized them in some way.

I honestly don't think there was really anything worth making an issue out of in what either of them said, but I'm just making a point that it is all how you choose to look at things. I think you need to stop filtering everything through those anti-Microsoft fanboy goggles you are always wearing.

Edit: @ Jaces

Yes GT has definitely sold a lot more and should be recognized for its success and quality. But by the same token I wonder how many of you PS3 fanboys will acknowledge Halo's massive success and quality. You seem to want it both ways. You want to claim GT's superiority over Forza based on its sales success, but I doubt many of you would admit Halo's quality and superiority over games like Killzone 2 based on it's huge sales success.

INehalemEXI6068d ago (Edited 6068d ago )

Its funny you bring halo 3 and kz2 into this. The difference between both KZ2 and Halo 3 , and Forza 2 and GT5P is similar.

Halo and forza both lack the feeling of weight they don't have the advanced physics that KZ2 or GT5P does when you play these games you notice a sense of overcoming inertia , weight transfer realistic type stuff not so much in forza 2and Halo 3. Wont even go into gfx and animation. I owned both Halo 3 and Forza 2 despite my PS3 bias :D Halo and GT are games that drove there respective consoles success, no doubt.

The competition is good MS was shooter , shooter Sony like hey we need more shooter, MS hey we need something to rival GT... MS and Sony ....we need to out due wii mote.. I think both company's go back and forth and can say we out did the other this time and in ways be true. Yet in other ways and times like....this here is a bit far fetched to say you are in a league of your own. GT5 is coming and it will be competition. /mutters still is king of this sh!t IMO

There is a lot of times this hey we improved on this , this and this and the gameplay is damn near perfected.

The other guy say hey we got this co op, this mode and this feature ...but we still have the same gameplay. <- They wont say that though.

callahan096068d ago (Edited 6068d ago )

They haven't surpassed Gran Turismo 5. They're saying that Yamauchi stopped evolving? That's ridiculous, they haven't even come out with their game yet. GT5 is evolving the genre immensely with licenses from NASCAR and WRC. That's huge. You're getting all of your racing content in one box with GT5. Also, nothing will ever compare to the dedication that Polyphony pays to realism. They go out there and they drive every single vehicle that they put in their game. They recreate the exact manners of each car, how they handle, what they feel like. They don't settle for putting you in a car that looks just like the real thing, they want it to FEEL like the real thing. To SOUND like the real thing. They record the audio of every single solitary car they put in the game. Every car sounds different due to the engine, the chassis, the exhaust system, and other factors that make every car have a distinct sound, at every level of RPM at every gear. And they've gone out and recreated that. The attention to detail to make every car look, sound, and drive like the real thing: that's what makes Gran Turismo the definitive driving simulator for true car enthusiasts. And Forza does not even come close to recreating that realism.

silenius6068d ago

Forza 3 looks very cool... -----> i think its been Developed for about 3 years.

GT5 looks slightly cooler... -----> but, its been developed nearly 5 years!!!

So in conclusion, if Forza 3 would have been developed for 5 years instead of 3 i think it would be slightly better... just my oppinion though...

ultimolu6068d ago (Edited 6068d ago )

Lmfao, this is funny.
They seem confident enough in their game, but their level of arrogance cracks me up.

Rock Bottom6068d ago

This statement has as much validity as them saying their game is graphically the best.

Why o why6068d ago (Edited 6068d ago )

its just arrogance doesnt seem to annoy you guys when its done by MS or their affiliates thats all. The rest of what you put i can pretty much agree with. But the commercial success is an afterthought for me. Quality is my priority I just feel they can have commercial success and critical acclaim WITHOUT the downplaying/arrogance

@Rock Bottom true

anyway im back of to the uncharted mp beta:) L8rs

marinelife96068d ago

Some things are so ludicrous its just hard to comment on them.

Susan Boyle

Turn 10 developer statements

Richdad6068d ago

I think Turn 10 is saying too much but yeah, they have done some good job. Forza has customiztion but that is a very small part one more thing that Forza has that it suits anyone from a hardcore sim racer who like very realistic control to a NFS or Burnout Racer.

I have played GT4 and GT5p they were hard to get, good thing was that both were perfect games in every way but still where too realistic but Forza can appeal anyone not just hardcore. Even PGR could get tough but if you are getting hard time in FOrza lower the difficulty use ingame assistance you can catch up. So that why it has larger fanbase plus now it looks really good, the graphics are way too good. Its near the level of GT5.

insomnium6068d ago

"the 3+ mil Forza fans including myself and a at least 1+ mil more will be buying Forza3"

Do you have any idea how poorly Forza 2 sold BEFORE they started bundling them in? A console with 2 free games will sell a lot more than a console without any. So will those games sell more copies. I'm not sure how much water your comment about "3+ mil Forza fans" holds....Just FYI.

eagle216068d ago

It's just sad that people even consider this as competition to GT. I don't care about a superman painted VW! Maybe if you paint speedy on your car, you'll win a race...lol? I do care about physics in my racing and GT is second to NONE. I also don't care who keeps wasting $60 after $60 on false hype and complain you want a $100 price cut?

52 million Gran Turismo's don't just sell on hype alone, they delivered something! GT PSP has 800 cars on a handheld. Remind me when forza does that!

dantheman15156068d ago

He knows what the game is, he is just acting like the other arrogant Japanese developers. In the bitmob podcast, the community guy for Turn 10 (cant remember his name, but used to work for 1up) was talking about how guys from the Gran Turismo team where at there booth taking notes on the game. So, take the arrogant Turismo statements with a grain of salt.

Matpan6068d ago

@Darkeyes 1.11

"You are the biggest troll I have seen here. GT4 not AAA.. jerk the game sold more than 10 million greater than any Halo...."

You do know the game reached that figure after THREE years out in the market, and that it´s time of release the install base of the PS2 was arround 85 million consoles... Don´t you?

Halo 3 did not only sell arround 1.8 copies on release, but reached 8.1 million copies after about 6 months of it´s release. And the xbox 360 had an install base of arround 15 million when it was released and 17 million when it reached those 8.1 million copies (more than a year ago, I´d like to see Halo 3 sales by now... and how will they be in one year)...

Of course... it´s a FPS vs a Racer... but you might wanna check the differences in the actual state of the consoles and the market :P

And Forza 2 Sold almost 4 millions... that is less than half what GT4 did, but then again... 360 had at most 20 million consoles out there when the game released, while PS2 had 4 times that number... So I´d say it did FAIRLY WELL for a second title versus a FOURTH title in a successful and proven series.

See I´m not bashing GT series (a great GREAT racer for realism lovers, I just don´t like any of them) but I´m trying to make the comparissons in a fair ground.

Forza has managed GREAT achievements as a franchise in just two games. But yeah, I have to recognize the statements this guy gives are quite bold. Let´s see the games speak for themselves.

Sarcasm6068d ago

in 720p claiming to have the best graphics

dantheman15156068d ago

Look I know DVD9 is outdated, but what is the big deal about having two discs? If one is used to load to the harddrive, and is never to have to be used again. But no you idiots dont think and decide to flame, as usual. Last i heard Forza is comin this fall, and GT5 was barely announced, I wouldnt be suprised if Forza 4 is out before GT5. I will have fun with my console racing simulator while all you sony lovers can have fun with your portable game with PS1 graphics.

rareairtone6068d ago

We won't have to switch between the discs all the time...the second disc comes with stuff we will download into the hard drive and then we will always play off of disc one.

the downside is, people would have to bring both of the discs to a friend's house and install the second disc for a short time if the owner of the game or the friend likes a car or a track on the second disc.This would only be true, of course, if the friend wanted forza 3 to be on his gamertag...

either way, the way they are dealing with the lack of space is the smoothest idea i've heard regarding shipping 2 discs

Well I for one think this game looks impressive , Dan Greenwal is just happy and confident this game is the best. Notable reaction. Ill be getting this. Cant pass on this.

dustinmacd6069d ago

Game does look impressive yes, but seems a bit arrogant for him to talk like that. Developers normally don't blast their competition too much, i know there's obvious criticism, but not flat out blasting.

Seems a bit like a hey hey look at me look at me attitude.

Gran Turismo 5 will be good.
Forza 3 will be good.

From looks
GT5 better, but im obviously not sure until I play both, which I will. I personally think Car models look better in GT5.

And also, does anyone know how long both games have been in development, id assume GT5 way longer.

KingKionic 6069d ago

Yes you or right. But he is very confident that it will succeed. Also what he`s saying is that its the best right now. He`s not referring to the future. The way i see it is that he sees his work and believes its the best.

Competition is a good thing folks.

XGRaViSmOrSX6069d ago

i just hope they paid more attention to car models this time around. i dont wanna drive around w/ a del sol that has the wrong year bumper on it or a civic thats badged as an Si yet is RHD.....seeing as how the usdm Si coupe never existed in japan.....how?

that is one thing PD destroys anything in, attention to detail.

el zorro6069d ago

Yes, but he also expressed how much he respects Kazunori Yamauchi and seemed sincere that he simply thinks his game has surpassed what his competitors have done.

It's like in a UFC pre-fight interview and a fighter says "I respect him, but I definitely think I have trained harder and am the better fighter". It's the same kind of thing. You can respect someone and still respectfully think that what you are offering is better.

snoopgg6068d ago

but I wish it had more ai racers on the screen at once. Just like gears, the 360 is only capable of so much on the screen at one time or they faulter somewhere else. They should have taken a hit on the offroad sceanery. I mean its only my opinion, but a few more racers to overtake the first position would have been better. This is why I like Gt better. They have more racers to compete against. Eight racers make it seem alittle more real. This is also why I liked Risistance 1 and 2 over Halo and Killzone 2 over Gears 2. This is not a rip over Forza, but something that would improve their game. More racers on the screen at once!!!!! I personally could care less about all the custom paint job malarchy, just a good racer that feels real.

Darkeyes6068d ago

This is where the PS3's CELL comes into picture..... GT5 is running at 1080P+60FPS+16 player+Twice the cars... (twice as many as Forza) on screen... Compare this to 720P+60FPS+8 players.... Even I am not bringing Forza down, but fact remains a fact. GT5 is better looking, with more AI and things happening on screen. That is where the emphasis should be more than over stupid paint jobs.

And just look at the arrogance these Forza devs are portraying... That is what pisses me big time. GT5 devs could have blown this fact in the face of Forza devs, but they keep their mouth shut and are humble.... That is why I respect them more. I just hate when one dev targets the best in the market to make their game look supreme... Cheap way of getting hype.

Let the games come out and then decide which one wins.

Forza Motorsport players slam devs for using 14 year old car model

Throughout its marketing campaign Forza Motorsport has been described as being “built from the ground up,” but some players are skeptical after discovering a reused car model that first appeared in Forza Motorsport 3.

Flawlessmic833d ago (Edited 833d ago )

yep been playing it all day and the newer car models look ok at best and the older models looks downright ugly and out place. im playing on pc at 4k with everything on ultra with dlls performance mode and the cars just look completey off, even the paints looks off, gt7 on ps5 shits on the car models here and its not even close, espcially paint and materials wise!!

its by no means a bad game but it is again another hype job from MS doesnt get close to living up to what it should be.

i genuinly thought this was gonna improve on GT7 in every way, when in fact at this in point after 10 hours the only thing i think is better is the standing start races as opposed to gt7s god awful chase the rabbit races starting 25 seconds behind.

the fuel and pit stop additions to forza are just surface level additions so they could say hey we did it, i am yet to see a meaningful incorporation of either one and the systems that would facilitate it being genuine are not there.

I cant control my power to fuel ratio during the race like i can in gt7, there is no timing hud for the whole grid, so i dont know how far ahead or behind i am or when drivers are pitting so i could plan my strategy, not that pitting is necesarry at all.

rain doesnt cause a slippery surface or aqua plaining nor does it tell you just how wet the track is like gt7 which informs you if inters or full wets are needed, no weather map, nothing.

its really just shinear version of previous forza, if you want proper sim racing where actual strategy comes in to play with longer races, with real pitt stops and having to manage your actual fuel effectively during the race then this game isnt it, go get gt7.

if you want a really simple and basic sim racer then this is for you.

majorly dissapointed, i thought this was the one game from MS that would hit all the right notes, in reality built from the ground up for next gen was a bullshit line and and its not even better than a cross gen game released a year and half ago.

MTRNYC833d ago

One big thing I feel makes GT7 so much better is that they surface mapped all the tracks so they have actual imperfections which means that sometimes the fastest path is slightly off the expected path because you have to avoid the imperfections to maintain traction.

GT7 is by far the more realistic racing game. It's kind of funny because they claim they reworked the whole driving and physics system to compete with GT Sport and Forza's not even close to as realistic as even GT Sport was and GT7 is way better than GT Sport.

Stanjara833d ago

Excellent write up.
I follow SuperGT and in the preview of the game he was not impressed with improvements.
Said it felt the same as FM7.

The whole time I was searching for ray tracing in race and it was not present.

Built from ground up my ass.

(Yes yes I know there is a performance mode and a visual mode I know)

P.s. You can choose your starting grid position. WTF is that in a sim race?

Flawlessmic833d ago (Edited 833d ago )

@mtrnyc

its all the little details, you see the track evolve in gt7 with the rubbers marks, and the marbles from the tyres start building up off the racing line on the side, you can actually see the tyre deformation when racing an f1 car for instance.

honestly, im actually shocked at how much better and more advanced gt7 is than this game, this is literally just a surface level sim racer, it would make a fantastic entry point for someone new to sim racers but my lord does it pale in comparison to gt7 where it counts

@stanjara

yep picking your starting spot is dumb AF for this type of game

dumahim833d ago

"there is no timing hud for the whole grid, so i dont know how far ahead or behind i am or when drivers are pitting so i could plan my strategy"

Wait, really? They don't have the distance or timing splits options for the HUD anymore that's been there from the start, after they add pit stops, when you'd really need something like that?

Flawlessmic833d ago

@dumahin

i will correct myself slightly just opened the game to see if it was option and you can turn it on for single player races, it was set to multiplayer only but again if the races were really gonna need it they wouldve had it set as on but no the races are like i said simple surface level sim racing.

but to answer the question correctly yes it actually does have the option, you just need to turn it on

This! I really hated this for every race it's always a running start and always last. And we all know the reason for that which is the bad ai.

yeahokwhatever833d ago

"its by no means a bad game but it is again another hype job from MS doesn't get close to living up to what it should be" <-- Spot on. I've been playing since the second it launched and I'm a little disappointed too. You're totally right about the paint..its whacky how bad it is visually. I have pretty damn good hardware and the frame pacing is totally jacked up. I wanted a close-to-GT7 game on my PC, unfortunately Forza is the furthest from GT that its been. :-(

This isn't even the oldest models, they are recycling, there is stuff dating back to the 360 in the game.

Built from ground up for the Series S most probably. I mean that's 75% of the audience right there.

Forza motorsport doesn't have that traditional campaign but rather just tick box races. Most reviewers are omitting this

Flawlessmic833d ago (Edited 833d ago )

i dont mind how they have done it but, theres not a whole lot of content race wise which is a let down, and the car RPG thing sucks balls.

i unlock the same things in the same order everytime and make the same upgrades in the same order everytime.

rather than being able to look at the strengths and weakness of the car im using and put my credits into upgrading the weakess im stuck upgrading parts i dont really need cause thats all i can do and by the time i do unlock what i really wanted, lo and behold the 5 race series is over and its on to a new car to rinse and repeat my unlocking and applying my upgrades

IRetrouk833d ago

I remember this being a massive negative for another game a couple gens ago👀

dumahim833d ago

On one hand, that was kind of a bigger deal since the old models didn't have an interior so it was all just a black silhouette inside. But on the other hand, they made no claims that it was built from the ground up and were clear there were premium models that did have the full interior and some without.

IRetrouk833d ago

I agree, it was jarring and not needed in my opinion, but it didn't make the game bad or worse, yet that was the impression around here at the time if you remember.

yeahokwhatever833d ago

i uh....liked the black interiors. I got the perspective without the distraction. I wish it was an option.

10 of the best racing games of all-time

Paul writes - "Looking back over a lifetime of playing games, and racing games in particular, I am moved to consider which were the best that I have ever played. I'm going to be platform blind on this, largely because I didn't have an Xbox until the 360 came out, so many games I played were on the other consoles that were available. In order that I played them, here are the racing games that have had a lasting impact on me and 10 of the best racing games of all-time."

The Forza Franchise Has Exceeded $1 Billion in Retail Sales

Xbox: "Today, we’re excited to share a major milestone – as of December 2016, the Forza franchise has exceeded $1 billion in retail sales."

Overload3259d ago

Pretty much expected regarding Forza Horizon 3 (selling 2.5M units). Good numbers compared to the previous iterations.

Gazondaily3259d ago

This is good news. The best racing franchise should be supported. Glad it is. #forzaplayers

Overload3259d ago (Edited 3259d ago )

Selling more than the previous versions would be good news.

"The best racing franchise should be supported."

It is, very much so.

Gazondaily3259d ago

I know. 2.5 million copies isn't bad at all. Forza is smashing it, critically and now sales are reflecting that too.

I wonder if there will be a racer this gen that comes close critically. If so, we're truly in for a treat.

Overload3259d ago

It is amazing watching sales matter and not matter all at the same time. Same with what they reflect.

Gazondaily3259d ago

Quality matters more than sales. Always. And that's why Forza is at the top of the game. Horizon 3 deserves those sales because we need more games like it.

Kingthrash3603259d ago (Edited 3259d ago )

Great to see some good news from forza! Retailing 1 billion bucks is a pretty good milestone. I remember gta5 did it In like a week or so. It may have taken forza longer to reach this milestone and with 10 games...but hey not many have reached that milestone.

Overload3259d ago (Edited 3259d ago )

@Septic

I thought sales reflected people finally seeing the quality.

"Forza is smashing it, critically and now sales are reflecting that too."

You're all over the place.

Do they only reflect quality or what it deserves when it comes to Forza?

Gazondaily3259d ago

"@Septic

I thought sales reflected people finally seeing the quality. "

Lets be honest- frankly terrible games have seen some strong sales. Comparatively drastically weaker racers for instance have seen even higher sales.

"You're all over the place.

Do they only reflect quality or what it deserves when it comes to Forza?"

I'm not all over the place at all. Weren't you the one downplaying the sales previously? See my link below. Its not rocket science mate. The game's quality is great. Sometimes the sales numbers dont do a great game justice. We've seen that time and time again in this industry.

Forza Horizon 3 is an excellent game and the highest rated racer this gen. Now it deserves great sales doesn't it? Its very simple.

Overload3259d ago (Edited 3259d ago )

@Septic

Let's get real here. 2.5M is great for Forza Horizon 3, but it's not that impressive overall. GT Sport will most likely do that very quickly. Driveclub sold 2M and that had a terrible launch.

1B sounds like a big number, but then you realise GT5 did approximately half a billion at retail alone.

Unspoken3259d ago (Edited 3259d ago )

Artemidorus3259d ago

The best? It's not April Fool's yet.

EpicZinger3259d ago

Best racing franchise is already heavily supported. More than 70 million sales to be precise.

corroios3259d ago

Both of your inicial comments are stealth trolling. Why cant you be happy with the news. Then you say others troll...

You already know that when another game arrived it will surpass those numbers maybe in the first 24 hours....

XanderZane3259d ago (Edited 3259d ago )

@Overload
This isn't about GT Sports or Driveclub. You always need to bring some Sony games into a conversation that has nothing to do with them. Forza games have always sold the 2-4 million even when it was on the XBox 360 with over 87 million units sold. It has it's own fanbase that buy it regularly. No one cares what GT Sports or DriveClub sold. They aren't even in the article. All you want to do is TROLL XBox One articles.

@Unspoken
Yes. Trolling Overlord has returned to another XBox One article when he most likely doesn't even own one. He was doing fine until he decided to bring Sony exclusives racers into the mix. He didn't even go for Project Cars or Need For Speed games? lmao!!

Lime1233259d ago

Fantastic numbers for FH3! Already at halfway of GT6 - the worst selling mainline Gran Turismo game.

rainslacker3259d ago

9 releases, over how many years? Retail sales over 1 billion, is anywhere between 16-20 million copies depending on the selling price(not all being $60).

It's great it makes money, don't get me wrong, but with the number of releases it's had, for how long it's been an established franchise, it's not really that remarkable.

Gazondaily3259d ago

Well if the sales don't impress you, perhaps the game itself will. For those who haven't played it, you're missing out on of the best racers ever.

Kribwalker3259d ago

It is a fantastic racing game, even if you aren't a huge fan of racing games, it's a lot of fun. I will keep supporting this series. Not the biggest sim racing fan so the mainline games I usually pass on, but I've bought FH2 and 3 and got the first one with games with gold and they're great

3258d ago
rainslacker3258d ago (Edited 3258d ago )

Sorry if my putting it into perspective hurt people's feelings.

I'm glad it's making money, and the most recent game is excellent, but 1 billion over 9 releases is kind of commonplace for a moderately successful franchise.

@Dealwithit

If Forza did all that, I'd be impressed.

But for the most part, I'd not be gushing over the sales of any game, with 9 releases, that only made 1 billion at retail. At least not in the way some people here are trying to make it into being the best thing ever and indicative of the game being a high end money maker which somehow is indicative of it's quality, which is a separate matter altogether.

My numbers are sound, and while I find it wonderful that it's a successful franchise, I think too many people are looking at the number, without actually thinking about the rest of the picture.

But, if it makes you all feel better, I'll give you a freebie. 1 billion in retail sales doesn't include digital. So since you all think that Xbox somehow has a 2:1 digital vs retail attach rate, then you can run with Forza having made 3 billion.

Gazondaily3258d ago

"I'm glad it's making money"

You sure? You sure don't sound it lmao. Go play the game. It's wicked. Downplaying the sales aside, this a classic and the best racer this gen.

bouzebbal3258d ago

at the same time when you see what x1 owners have to play....
but yeah, something for you guys to justify the purchase,huh?

MyDietEqualsGames3258d ago (Edited 3258d ago )

Lol. The best. Much like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. There are a few good ones out there, including GT, however this is Forza's moment, so I will try not to take away from it. With that said, Congratulations, Turn10!

IamTylerDurden13258d ago

Overload

Driveclub sold over 3 million. It sold nearly 2.5m physical and with the f2p version it did huge digital numbers. DC is a 3m seller, and well deserved.

Septic

It's funny how u think Driveclub is a terrible game bc of the disastrous launch. If u really were the gaming aficionado u claim you'd know that Driveclub is a different game now. A dramatically improved game and a great racer. Don't act like your not referring to Driveclub in your comments here. U even posted on the PS4 N4G group that Driveclub sucked and Forza is way better. Now i realize it was this article that motivated u to make that comment.

LexHazard793258d ago (Edited 3258d ago )

They mad GT isnt the best racer anymore. So how else to get over the frustration than attacking Xbox gamers with bs...Lol.

rainslacker3258d ago

@Septic

Which one? There are nine games in the franchise. The topic here is about the franchise. If it were about FH3 making one billion at retail, then I'd be thouroughly impressed.

I have played FH3, and several other games in the franchise. But what does that matter to the point I"m trying to make that people are gushing over it, using it as an example of how great FH3 is, while ignoring the fact that it equates to around 112 million on average per release. Is 112 million per game really that amazing?

It's not poor, but as I said, it's not remarkable,or worthy of the correlations to quality that some people are making.

GtR35olution3259d ago

Lol. I like the nice wording of saying the forza franchise is the best selling this generation when there has been a forza game every year since the xbox one release and there'll be a new game(forza 7) this year. Gran turismo sport will outsell them all and be the best driving simulator.

Gazondaily3259d ago

I'd be very impressed if GT Sport scored higher than Horizon 3. Different types of games I know but would be impressive nonetheless.

GT Sport stands the best chance of dethroning Forza Motorsport and taking the crown though. I like what I've seen so far. Has improved dramatically from what was shown at first. Sales wise also, it will definitely dominate. That's a no brainer.

Neonridr3259d ago

haven't sales of Gran Turismo been declining with each release though? You would think in 2013 when the PS3 had a huge install base, the latest game (6) would muster more than 3.5 million in sales..

Overload3259d ago (Edited 3259d ago )

"You would think in 2013 when the PS3 had a huge install base, the latest game (6) would muster more than 3.5 million in sales.."

Gran Turismo 6 Passes 5 Million Sales, Series Climbs to 76.8 Million
http://www.gamespot.com/art...

Gran Turismo 6 launched on PS3 at the same time as the PS4, which was a mistake in my opinion.

3259d ago
GtR35olution3259d ago (Edited 3259d ago )

Gran turismo 6 sold over 6 million copies and gran turismo 5 sold over 10 million copies according to sony. There isnt any forza throne to be taken by gran turismo because gran tursmo is a better driving simulator where forza normally has things done in The game such as widening tracks and making cars easier to drive so it appeals more to people that would try racing a gtr with a civic or a dodge neon.

People who normally talk about review scores and menu system when comparing forza and gran turismo should actually be talking about the games content and which is actually a better driving simulator. Gran turismo games are made to be as realistic as possible to where the cars in the games try to simulate the driving physics of the real life ones. Forza games normally has cars with characteristics that are unlike realistic ones and youll see silly things like stock vehicles ets being 10 seconds faster than they are in real life.

I don't see why this would make it any less of a simulator than GT, especially considering that engine tuning is a big part of GT as well. Being able to race a large variety of cars together is part of Forza's success, some people don't like being restricted to certain cars, and it's extremely rewarding working on a car to make it competitive. I'm sure GT Sport's reliance on eSports and restricted car choices will turn off some GT fans, but that's the kind of niche Sony is selling it for, while GT7 will be the more traditional GT game.

TheCommentator3259d ago

Maybe GT will go back to it's roots, so you can simulate driving on an oval with your analog sticks rubber-banded together! GT: Port is already halfway to it's roots anyways, at least judging by the graphics and AI, so anythings' possible.

mcstorm3259d ago

I agree and I hope the sales for it goes up. Enjoyed 1 and 2 but for me 3 seems to set the bar again for open world racing games.

20live3259d ago

not sure why you are being down voted , Forza Horizon 3 was epic

XanderZane3259d ago

The trolls on here are down voting because they think GT Sports will be better, even though it's not out yet. I hope GT Sport is better then GT5 & GT6. Those games made many fans leave the series. Polyphony needs to come up with something new for GT Sport. I'll continue to enjoy Forza 6 and Forza Horizon 3 while we wait.

XanderZane3259d ago

LOL!! Don't believe me with GT5 vs GT6 sales? Look again. Keep down voting me when I'm right. Sales going down, down, down with GT ever since GT3. Maybe Overlord can damage control this without having to mention an XBox game.

http://www.vgchartz.com/gam...

GT3 sales - 14.98 million worldwide
GT4 sales - 11.66 million worldwide
GT5 sales - 10.70 million worldwide.
GT6 sales - 3.32 million worldwide
Over 7 million gamers suddenly stopped buying Gran Turismo series after GT5? This is on a game console with over 87 million sold.

edeprez3259d ago

I finished FH3, but it really wasn't that great. I really loved FH2, probably my favorite racing game. It's just a copy/paste of FH2, most of the races feel similar to each other, most of the cars are behind a paywall, and the showcases were a letdown for me. Also who wants to customize and name every race/bucket list challenge, i would have been happier with more sets of challenges like in FH 2.
Anyway, i may have ruined the experience for myself by replaying FH2 before launch, so maybe I'm way off base here, i just didn't get any of that "epic" that you noticed.

MRMagoo1233258d ago (Edited 3258d ago )

Sony announced gt6 sold over 5 million so you pulling vg numbers and being wrong makes you look desperate and stupid. Even at 5 million it's double forza horizon 3 sales. 😂

Tell me one thing though.... Would getting 2.5 mil sales on ps4 for half arsed game is difficult? There is no racing game on ps4 that meets forza and the ps4 gamers would just bite irrespective of quality.... Just like NMS. Having 50mil sales but still not a single game is as big as overwatch, GTAV, FFXV..... Talk about that attach rate and quality. There was this talk about UC4 goty and now i hear nothing....

As a quick comparison, the Gran Tursimo series (as of 2015) has sold over 76 million. Lets say the average game is £30, even though GT5 cost me £50..
If my maths are corrects, the GT series has made at least £22.8 billion. GT sport can only add to this. Plus this is GBP and not Dollars.

GT absolutely was king last gen, are you joking? Did you hear about this game they call GT5? It did pretty well...

Last gen alone GT sold over 20m. That's nearly what Forza has sold in its entirety.

I've come to realize that theres no rational in people who only play on one console. Because that series might be all they know. To them its the best thing ever. Yet just from looking at reviews GT has been on a steady decline.

GT hasnt been King of racing since PS2..Lol. Forza is the King Slayer.
Their Motorsports series is great and well you already know about Horizon. Even PGR was better than GT.

Not only are you trolling but your "maths" are wrongs.

76 million * $50 = 3.8 billion

Using a more conservative number, say the average cost of the game over its lifetime was $30

76 million * $30 = 2.28 billion

Now troll elsewhere. This is about Forza not GT (which as a series has been out twice as long as Forza).

3259d ago
343_Guilty_Spark3259d ago

@Basurabox

More trolling.

GT:

More time on the market
Much larger Sony base
Using average cost over lifetime $30 sales are 2.28 billion vs 1 billion.

I'd say sales are pretty even.

Lime1233259d ago

GT has beem out twice as Forza, still last mainline Gran Turismo game was Gran Turismo 6 and last mainline Forza game was Forza 6.

?

rainslacker3259d ago

Why such a low average lifetime price? It's probably closer to $45, since half of a games sales tend to be within the first year...particularly games with recurring incremental releases. Within a year, most games of this nature typically are still priced around $30. Anything after that is probably inconsequential to the average.

Anyhow, at 76 million * $45 = 3.4 billion.

Kind of pointless to speculate though. MS provided full retail sales, so we'd only have to guess at the number of actual units sold to derive the average price, and then forget it anyways, because 1 billion is still one billion dollars.

Stogz3259d ago

Forza has what though, 9 releases? GT has like 7. How does the time on the market matter?

joshljr3259d ago

@Stogz

I think time on the market matters because you're more likely to skip an iteration if releases are frequent.

_-EDMIX-_3258d ago

How is he trolling? Yes, GT has a larger fan base clearly because it is the preferred game.

More time on the market is irrelevant have you forgotten that Gran Turismo 5 literally sold over 11 million units?

At the time of Gran Turismo 5 release it to literally out sold every single Forza game in existence combined!!!!!!

Is Medal of Honor outselling Call of Duty? Well that's older than Call of Duty right?

Seriously buddy get over it , GT is the preferred series and PD always does a good job.

LexHazard793258d ago (Edited 3258d ago )

@ edmix,

Lol...Forza(only Forza Horizon 3 wasnt and I dont count Apex) and GT are exclusives. So being the "preferred racer" is relative to what console you own. So if you own Playstation most likely Gran Turismo is the best. And Xbox, Forza. Not hard to understand...

And are you comparing Forza to Medal of Honor? Forza gets better reviews than GT and is relevant. Where Medal of Honor now...
We'll see at end of yr what racer is better. Forza 7 or GT Sports(Prolouge)..
Go ahead and press that button on the right.

thisismyaccount3258d ago (Edited 3258d ago )

GT launched 1998
19 years old with 6 main games + 1x PSP game and 5 "bigger paid demos called prologues"
76,000,000 x $30 = $2,280,000,000,000 (12 entries at 6.3mill. copies sold each)

Versus

Forza launched in 2005
soon 12 years old with 6 main games and 3x spin offs (total of 9 games).
22,500,000 x $30 = $675,000,000 (9 entries at 2.5mill. copies sold each)

Far from that $1bill. they claim. They either sold more copies or the avg. price (revenue) is higher than $30 per sold copy. At $30 they would have sold about 33mill. copies (< highly unlikely since 2015, to sell 13 mill. copies). So, yeah the avg. price hast to be higher than the $30 for each sold copy.

old comparison done in 2015 https://imgur.com/a/1ASyv

Look, who cares, MS/XBOX CONGRATULATIONS.
GT has been around longer, but has produced less, every year we get a new and improved FORZA either motorsport or horizon every year, this makes it very hard for GT to out match, because when GT improves it's take them 2yrs to improve as with Forza, well every year and there is improvements. But both games have there place, just enjoy it and don't be sad that your favourite game is not the headliner, just play 🎭 your game.

ChrisChambers3258d ago

With the technology available to you there's no way you should've inflated GT sales by $20 billion. If you're an adult you should be embarrassed. If you're still in school you need to pay attention in math class, maybe stay after school sometime and have your teacher show you how to use a calculator.

Apparently playground is opening a new satellite studio to make open world games. I do think FH3 was some of their best work, and a really good racer. We get to play it at work, and they have the nice wheel set ups and stuff and it gets a lot of my time when I have no actual work to do.

I'd imagine their core studio is still going to be working on F:H though.

that last line, you're really asking for it.
better watch out, that console war neutrality might be blown now.
How can people objectively put forza above GT, when forza isn't even recognized by the FIA?

LMao asking for what? All racing fans should experience the brilliance of Horizon 3. It's such an epic game. Have you played it?

"How can people objectively put forza above GT, when forza isn't even recognized by the FIA?"

That's a silly question. Because they like it better ? Cause it's getting better reviews ? Because no matter what the game is, some people will base their opinion on their personal taste rather than on some sponsorship deals ? See, like some put PES above Fifa, how dare they have their own preference!

seriously though, if you disregard the FIA, you just proved you're a casual scrub who knows nothing about cars.
@Aloren which is why i said *OBJECTIVELY*

I don't usually like forza games, because I don't usually enjoy race games, but must say after my gamble on horizon 3 I'm more than 100% happy.

I'm a blood n guts game kinda lover, so this was a nice change.

I think there's really only a couple of race games out that can compete with forza, project cars and gran turismo. Need for speed I thought on some games was going in the rite direction and don't get me wrong now and again it can pull out a surprise game, but it's not consistent enough like forza.
