GRID vs Gran Turismo 5: Prologue
We're not in the habit of taking shots at the PS3 here, regardless of our name, but this user-made YouTube video was too funny for us not to share.
Posted back on April 25, JudgeRice compiled a comparison video of the upcoming TOCA Race Driver game GRID versus PlayStation's premier racer Gran Turismo 5: Prologue. Before the hate floods in, we know GRID is leaned toward a more arcade-style racing experience whereas Gran Turismo is a simulation. Still, we LAWLED.

I love the dumb grammar nazis because it's so much fun to correct the arrogant assholes.
When is the last time you heard someone say:
"Cars is cool!"
That's that I thought.

Hey asshole, I was referring to myself. The verb agrees with the subject, not with the noun in the phrase.
"Racing is cool"
Stupid ass.

lol, video was hilarious...
I'd love to see a serious Forza 2/GT:Prologue comparison vid. A buddy of mine & I compared them side-by-side in dec (he has a Japanese ps3, so we played prologue the second it was available as import here)... anyhow, Forza 2 looked clearly better to both of us, but that was on a TV that could only output a max of 720p...
It's always nice to see GT get made fun of though; what an over-rated series...

K GT5 is a simulation, and not only that its actual gameplay. If I'm not mistaken I'm pretty sure that GRID footage is a trailer. Anyways, you can't really compare, since it's an arcade to a simulator. They both have their ups and downs, just depends what kind of a gamer you are.

Some of that GRID footage is from trailers but it looks like it uses the in game replay function in some of the clips.
It's all in good fun anyway.

Man I did not know there was not a damage model in GT5 LMAO Bumper Cars! bwhahahah
I love Forza2 but Grid looks seriously fun. The only other think I wish Forza 2 had was point to point tracks, open road with more scenery like the original Forza.

I'm sorry but I have to comment on this. I own Forza 2, GT5 prologue and the GRID demo. And let me tell you, GT5 is way, way more advanced than GRID. Don't get me wrong, GRID is a fun game, but it feels like it was made for younger people ("woo! look at the big crashes and loud music!"). FORZA2 is still probably the best racer out there despite the dreadful graphics.
But trust me, GT5 on my 42" 1080p TV changes the way you judge game graphics forever. Anyone who says that GT5 has poor graphics (Especially compared the the great FORZA2) is either a blind person, has a cheap TV or a xbox fanboy.
Don't let the console you own determin what you see with your eyes.

So, what you're saying is that adult games should be boring simulations and children's games should be action-packed and fun?
But if Gran Turismo was a true 'Simulator', then realistic crash damage would have to be a feature as well.
No matter who is playing, these so-called simulators like Gran Turismo and Forza are boring. Forza has fantastic looking cars, but other than that it involves racing around the same, dull tracks over and over again.
That's why I enjoy games like Colin McRae DIRT, GRID and Project Gotham Racing - they have a more balanced mix of realism, simulation and fun.

That was really funny! I have always like arcade racers more than simulators anyway. GRID looks like it will be really fun.

Actually it was comparing the gameplay. Not graphic. I think...

I don't understand why everyone is stating that these are different types of racing games. GT5 has no excuse for not having ANY damage modeling. I think it's pathetic when the silly arcade racer has damage modeling and the simulation racer doesn't. Fucking lazy Sony...

Wow dude that was easily the best grammar and sentence structure I've EVER seen. Wait, maybe I mean the least grammar and sentence structure I've ever seen. Your making all you Sony fagboys look like idiots man. I think he's angry because the only game he gets is MGS4...
