E3 brought some onslaught of new, killer racing games such as Gran Turismo 5 and Forza Motorsport 3. These games will surely heat up the console war for racers. The true pit of choice and resentment exists by having two ultimate racing games being offered. Which game do you want? Would you switch from the console you currently own to play the other racing game?
Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)
The game was first announced at E3 and there haven’t been many details released just yet. The reception of the game at E3 has been very warm, even becoming nominated as one of the most anticipated games from E3 for the PS3. This game has been delayed since last year, when the game developers took a different road by releasing a “Prologue” to Gran Turismo 5, and we are finally getting to see some completed sections and the game nearing release sometime this year.
From what we see, the developers of the game stay true to their franchise by planning to offer many aspects of racing through licensing agreements from NASCAR and the WRC. From the sounds of this, the game will engulf gamers with race culture from every angle.
The game also offers great visuals and, as always, the huge lineup of cars to sit in and vast amount of tracks to drive on. This game… looks… fantastic. The video below is testament to this:
Forza Motorsport 3 (X360)
The game has become the racing simulator for the Xbox and has evolved from nothing, into creating a great community of racers. Forza 2 offered quite a lot by allowing gamers to buy and sell cars at auction and had great tools for creating insane car paint. We can be sure the same features will be offered, and Forza 3 will be more refined and offer new tracks, cars, and other features that have yet been revealed.
So far big improvements in track offerings (since Forza 2 lacked in this area) and AI are to be strong points for gamers. On top of that, the developers have been working on “certifying” players’ track times. This means that cheating by having a faster car push, drafting another car, “riding walls,” or taking shortcuts is out of the question to get the best times on the Xbox Live leaderboards. Great!
The trailer for the game, while not nearly as exciting as GT5, is somewhat promising and we’re hoping that it doesn’t quite do the game justice.
Compelling Enough To Switch Sides?
Even if you own both PS3 and X360 consoles, it seems there will only be room for one game. Certainly, being a race aficionado and enthusiast, you’d want to be playing the best racing game even if it means you’d have to switch consoles to do it. Would you switch to get the best game (whichever it turns out to be)? Which do you think will come out on top?
