Key Facts

  • Forza Motorsport will be available on PC and Xbox Series X/S on October 10, 2023.
  • The graphics of Forza Motorsport surpass those of Gran Turismo.
  • Forza Motorsport is a pure racing game without an open-world aspect.
   

Comparison of the Two Games

 

The YouTube channel “ElAnalistaDeBits” uploaded a comparison video of the two games on June 15. You can watch it directly above this article. Below, I will provide a brief summary of the video.

Lighting Conditions

 

The video starts with the lighting effects of the game. In a direct comparison, it becomes evident that Gran Turismo is noticeably darker and lacks significant sunlight within the game. In contrast, Forza Motorsport 8 features bright lighting that illuminates the environment. As a result, Gran Turismo appears relatively dull in comparison to Forza Motorsport.

The reflections of sunlight on car surfaces during races are also more prominent in Forza Motorsport, depending on the position of the sun. One can even be temporarily blinded by it. In Gran Turismo, the sun’s reflections on vehicles are minimal, resulting in a less impressive effect.

 

Vehicle Models

 

In Forza Motorsport, it’s immediately noticeable that the vehicles are much more detailed and have a higher resolution overall. In comparison, Gran Turismo 7 cannot compete.

 

Weather

 

The weather in Gran Turismo often appears as a mere reduction in colors, and for example, the rain is poorly resolved and simply doesn’t look good. On the other hand, rain in Forza Motorsport significantly limits visibility and even affects the camera, which makes the game experience much more realistic.

 

World

 

The game world in Gran Turismo lacks detail. Both the surrounding vehicles and the spectators are not high-resolution. Even the stadium buildings are often simplistic. In Forza Motorsport, the spectators are also simplified, but they have more modeling than those in Gran Turismo. Additionally, the stadiums in Forza Motorsport are much more detailed compared to their rival.

Reflections

 

Reflections, such as on the car hood, are present in both games. However, Forza Motorsport performs significantly better in this aspect as the reflections in Gran Turismo are only blurry images that may match the “real” world but are far from being high-resolution. In Forza Motorsport, all reflections are as sharp as the “real” images without reflections, which further demonstrates its superiority.

 

Interior Design

 

The interior design is relatively similar in both games, with the distinction that Forza Motorsport pays much more attention to details, such as small indicators on the windshield wipers. Gran Turismo hasn’t completely neglected these details, but they are implemented poorly due to the lower resolution in their game, making them less discernible.

 

Conclusion

 

Forza Motorsport surpasses Gran Turismo in nearly every aspect when it comes to graphics. However, both Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport have a large fan base, resulting in both games being highly played.

In recent years, Forza has also gained many new players and impressed them through their Forza Horizon games. As a result, they had to meet the high expectations of their new fans in the new Forza Motorsport.
