I think it was number 3 in the series. Was a huge fanboy of the gt series for long time on ps1, so it took a long while to realize gt in the inferior racing franchise. Over the years Forza has dominated GT in critical acclaim as the best racing games on the planet and it won't change anytime soon.

Both are great. Forza delivers better on single player, GT delivers better in multiplayer and gameplay IMO.

I mean, there’s still plenty of things to do offline now, especially now that GT League is here. 

I’m assuming that all of that is now playable offline at least, considering the patch notes said that all modes outside of online and Sport will be available offline.

Forza 4. Actually the best ones are 4 and 6. 5 and 7 are not so good.

Forza 5 is probably the most hated in the series due to all the microtransactions, the best ones are, 4, 6 and 7.

Forza 1 and 2 are pretty much carbon copys of GT, Forza 3 was cool, but things get really serious with Forza 4, such amazing game, at that point Forza takes the crown and GT is left behind eating dust.

When Forza 3 released. GT was M.I.A for too long. They had a chance to turn it around, but once Forza 4 released, it murdered GT.

GT is honestly dead compared to Forza. You want single player play FM, you want awesome multiplayer play FH. It started a long time ago because I never really liked GT I think it was truly overrated. 

Forza is the class and standard that a lot of studios should look to.

I downloaded the whole thing last night, and whilst loading it up for the first time today during the server issues it still said saving cannot be performed whilst not connected.

Even the official site's patch notes from what I can tell mentions nothing of being able to save progress offline now via the update.

Last good GT was 4. 5 was terrible, and 6 was just "ok". Sport was 4+ years in the making and look what they put out. Now that there was backlash and mediocre reviews, they shoe-horned in a small token single player mode. I'm pretty sure Sony forced them to add VR, so that didn't help either. 

I think it's time for Kaz to step down. As a 1st party studio, PD deserves better.

Online only is nonsense, no matter the excuse, players don't want it, we don't need it and they were a fool (PD/Sony) to implement it.

Well then if I’m wrong then I do apologize for the misinformation, i just thought it did say you’d be able to save offline post-patch and, as I’ve mentioned, I’ve yet to sit down and play since the patch came out where I couldn’t connect to the servers.

Oh no someone pointed out that they updated the game to allow more offline modes. They must be butt hurt that they can play more or their preferred game even if the servers aren’t working.

Yeah it does kinda suck that you can’t save offline, but at least it’s not a huge issue. I’m sure their servers won’t be down for too long and there’s plenty of other great games to play in the meantime, including Forza.

I forgot to add my opinion of when Forza Motorsport captured me from Gran Turismo - FM3 for me.

It might have done with the 360 becoming my favoured console over the PS3 at the time. Also, the explosion of online consoles for me, friends of both realms going down the same road also played a part I'm sure.

GT5 just couldn't pull me back. I still have GT6 in plastic. :-/

Lacking proper comparison.
However I did try GT2 and never liked it.
I liked Forza from the start and the big hook for me were the liveries, because I was never a car guy and Forza 3 is where my Forza love ended.

It is Forza 4. Didn't like 3 that much and 2 was okay. GT fell short for their poor chase cam and extremely poor engine sounds. No livery editor and not much to go on. People like to customize too.

GT is like this is what we have for you and you must accept it.

    When Gran turismo came out on PS3 that used in game models from cars that were from the PS2 era, that is when the franchise went to shit. 

    Anyone that tries to defend this is delusional.

    Neither have made a good game since their 4th iterations.

    GT aimed for “quantity is everything” and it suffered, doubly so with their longer dev times. Sport is a really good correction but axed too much content in return. Though it’s realistic multiplayer races are second to none currently

    Forza had the balance PERFECTLY with 4. Since then though they have prioritized greed and shoe horned microtransactions more and more. On top of their ridiculous dlc release models. At least with 3 and 4 ALL car packs were included in the car/season pass, not anymore, all the while GT releases cars for free in patches now. And then they got overboard with MTX First with tokens you could buy cars with to now randomized loot boxes for stupid ass mods and cars. They’ve also started prioritizing “quantity is everything” like GT has and the quality is suffering for it. But overall is still a better balanced title than GT

    Luckily we have other games stepping up to fill the quality void like Project Cars 2 and Dirt Rally.

    Really hope both franchises do a proper return to form. They’ve both been blinded from profits from their respective successes.

    Folks have been waiting for 4+ years for it, it's obvious it will sell, but doesn't mean it's a better game at all. More people buying = more people disappointed, hence the mediocre reviews and PD basically admitting they messed up by adding a small token GT League mode. Still no offline saving. They made a mistake with this one.

    With FM3, Forza never looked back. GT has sadly been dropped from the eyes of gamers as well as Sony. The latest was is just an embarrassment to the brand and the IP. It's time to close Polyphony. Sony has a habit of closing studios, so I am sure it is coming.

    I guess the PSN Store and Gran Turismo Sport is all of PSN? Because those were the only two things down thanks to the popularity caused by those gifted PS4’s and Gran Turismo for Christmas.

    I think it was number 3 in the series. Was a huge fanboy of the gt series for long time on ps1, so it took a long while to realize gt in the inferior racing franchise. Over the years Forza has dominated GT in critical acclaim as the best racing games on the planet and it won't change anytime soon.

    For me it was when I opted to buy an Xbox 360 instead of a PS3...
    I prefer to just play video games rather than worry about which platform/s they release on or how many pixels are on the screen.

    The First Forza was better than the GT at the time... every year since then GT has been playing catch-up. GT4 was fantastic when it came out, but was quickly beaten by Forza, due to Forza having online play. 

    Every Forza has been a better game overall since then.

    The only thing GT has on Forza right now, is a better lighting engine, which makes it look better in photographs you can take in game.

    That's all.
    If what I said doesn't makes sense... it's because you don't want it to make sense.

    Hmm, I had issues on Christmas Eve for sure (even contemplated asking for my first ever refund from PS), but Christmas day it worked as intended.

    It wasn't even Christmas day anywhere in the world at the time reports were coming in that it was fudged up as far as I know, so there must've been a ton of lucky gamers who got an early copy of the game/with console to have that sort of impact? :-P

    It was odd that it seemed to be just that game though. Perhaps there could be some truth in that story.

    FM3 then 2 years later FM4 was even better. GT 4 was good, but the games never recovered from the long hiatus after it.

    My favorite GT's were 2 and 4. FM 4 is still my favorite sim racer.

    That’s weird because I was able to play with all of my friends on Christmas Day without issue. Downloads were slowed to a crawl and often stopped without reason, but Titanfall 2 wasn’t dead at all and thousands of people were uploading screenshots of newbies in WWII all day.

    I guess we shouldn’t trust people on Twitter who claim they took down the servers?

    Forza 2, the last GT I was impressed with was GT3. 4 was ok, but that's when I first noticed issues with the series and its development.

    Maybe. Is this that popular to knock out server access to a game though? I've heard of some celebrating Christmas weeks early because they go abroad for Christmas (save the hassle of presents), but the day before just because it's the weekend?

    We did Christmas dinner on the eve due to the other half having to work a late shift on Christmas day.

    Either way, I'm actually enjoying Sport for what it is. It's no Forza, or ye olde Gran Turismo, but being starved of a racer for so long, it is nice. Breaks up the pew pew from my other recent games too.

    That's generous. I thought GT3 and GT4 on PS2 were the best games Polyphony Digital could ever come up with. What came after was disappointing, to say the least. GT Sport is the most underwhelming release since the PSP version and I loved that one.

      FM3 took over the racing crown and has never looked back in my opinion Forza has "lapped" GT as too many years went by without a proper GT game.

      Gt3 was the last good game in the series. 4 sucked hard, 5 sucked slightly less, while Forza has come into its own and now offers an arcadey version in Horizon to branch out to more fans

      When the first Forza came out. Back then GT was a bumper can simulator and Forza changed that with damage. No longer was the best strategy for cornering to take corner fast and ram your opponent so you bounced off, but to actually think about turning. After GT3 I never went back to that series but stayed with Forza.
