One thing I did notice, I recently bought an xbox and forza and I like how the cars can actually go off track by themselves. On GT and this GT the computer controlled cars look like they're on a rails. So poor.

GT is Forza for people who wish they'd bought an X-box instead.

This. They really need to close the gap to Forza, and with a seeming 'lead' in the next gen race (in terms of pre-orders / sales) and a more powerful console in comparison to the One, they really do have every opportunity to make it great.
+1. Lol
But Gran Turismo is really good to look at, and has a stupendous amount of content.

lol @ console boy. You obviously haven't seen my PC.
GT is a Simulator
Forza is an Arcade
I have both so I'm not taking sides..
However,
Racing drivers use GT5 with their £££££ setups, GT5 is more of a serious game when playing online against good people however does have it's bad points: Sound, AI..
The everyday person would enjoy Forza more as it's more hyped up, more fun and less serious.
They're both very good games with their own strong points and weak points.. But it's still stupid to compare as the makers have different criteria around making their game.

I'd argue Forza can be a simulator as well, you've just got to turn all the assists off. I think everyone is pretty much in agreement Forza's physics to date atleast are better.
True, for racing with mates online I go on GT5 as when Online on forza, one slightest tap your stoved into the wall. I also race Karts IRL so I also have a bash too..
For racing offline it's without a doubt Forza.

Anniversary edition arrives tomorrow from ShopTo and seriously can't wait
played the Academy demo that was released in the summer and was really impressed with the changes made to the physics etc so this should be very very good imo. Seems they have squeezed a lot of content in and more than enough to keep you going for a bit... they can stick that credits for money thing up their arse though, will be doing as I done in all other GT games and earn credits by playing the actual game I will be buying car and track packs as they are normally pretty cheap around £6 per pack. Most tracks now have day to night transitions and variable weather conditions which is a nice bonus. Really looking forward to hammering Brands Hatch as I have driven on it lots of times in my own cars so will be good to see how accurate it is in game but from vids looks damn fine:approve:

Might get this in the new year,watching that first hour gameplay vid - they put you in a Clio RS straight away for the training - good choice hehe! The improvements in the AI and physics in-race are encouraging for me.
Looking at this compared to Forza 5 makes me think there isnt much of a leap in terms of graphics for the next generation atm? Anyone thinking the same..

Lol, back to the PC then. Actually looking at the car list it's not even that different to GT4.

Id say its more positive than negative - its near an average of 8. I suppose if your a big fan of the GT games then its a must buy. As i said,talk of improvements to the AI is the main thing for me,as the racing was just so boring in GT5. I view it as driving game more than a racer,i hope that aspect has improved.
Photo mode and just collecting the cars are major draws for me. Track variety is also good.

Taken from Gamesradar review (which gave it 9/10) :
''However, the AI is not better at all. The AI drivers do kick up some dirt as they venture off-line and there is a modicum of defensive driving exhibited by the leaders, but they’re still faceless and robotic. The oddest problem with their behaviour is the way one or two often dash off at the start into a 12-second lead then appear to wait for you to catch up on the last lap. You can see them taking corners at a crawl on the track map. Madness. The AI isn’t up to the quality of everything else, which makes it stand out all the more.''
And GT Planet Hands On :
''Once the races started, though, it was immediately clear that there have been significant changes to the artificial intelligence of the other drivers, as confirmed by U.S. Gran Turismo producer Taku Imasaki. They no longer drive as “ducks-in-a-row”, as we saw in almost every race in GT5. They were actually racing with each other, going two – and once nearly three – wide into corners. When challenged with a pass, they didn’t put up too much of a fight, but some of them (not all drivers exhibited this behavior) actually fought back to pass me again, despite no major mistakes of my own.
This gave the racing a different and more challenging feel. I felt like I would need to push and drive defensively if I wanted to get ahead and win.''
Which one to believe??
This is what is putting me off it - the actual racing...why cant they improve the AI?
P.S. i wouldnt trust some of the 6/10 scores it is getting - one was reviewed by someone who confessed he didnt like racing games lol. :S

If you're using a Control pad theres no contest, Gran Turismo is utter shatment. I blame it solely for my PS3 being a massive Dust magnet and nothing more. Chances are, I'm going to buy this though. Just to check if its as god awful as GT5.
If you want a proper sim, you get a proper PC and run iRacing or the likes. For Console sims, Forza has lead the way since GT4 imo. I do hope GT6 is better though, because I can't be arsed shelling out all the money they want for: Xbox One, Forza, and the mountains of DLC I'll inevitably need.

Well mine turned up today and am really enjoying it, had it on for a good few hours and didn't even think about the PS4.....
I am playing this on a Wheel and Pedal/ Playseat set up so probably not how everyone will experience it but for me the changes are very noticeable over 5 , the handling of the cars is brilliant and each one has its own characteristics, the tyres and suspension have also been improved for the better. Taking Paddock hill in the Clio is very realistic , can feel the car get loaded up as you approach the bottom and want to understeer slightly, they seem to have got it bang on imo Willow springs is another very good track , never driven on it before so good to see what its like... Best part so far for me though has been the Goodwood hillclimb challenge in the X-Bow R... Mad car but when you get it under control is loads of fun blasting it up the hill sliding round the corners There are a few things that piss me of one being the units they insist on using for Torque which they do in kgfm what ever the hell that is.... lb-ft or Nm please I like the fact you actually have to play single player 1st and obtain an A license before going online, that why will hopefully keep the idiots at bay:dead: but pretty impressed so far if you can't tell
