Forza VS Need for Speed, Which One Should You Choose?

I love all types of racing games, no matter whether its a traditional arcade racer or a full on racing SIM, you can be guaranteed that it will be on my shelf no matter what. However, there is one question that many people ask, a question that few people answer. But a question nonetheless that I hope to answer in this article. So strap in, fasten your seatbelts and hold on tight.

This is a no brainer. Forza. all day!

T1ttyMunch3r2997d ago

If they added in driveclub i would automatically chose that. Its the best racer so far this gen. Forza's good but driveclubs on another level!

Barricade2997d ago

man, why did you bring up driveclub in this article? It's clearly Forza vs Need for Speed, no need to start a console war in the comment section.

I'd pick a Forza Horizon game over NFS without a doubt, unless it's the PlayStation 2 version of NFS Most Wanted, which is probably the best racer ever in my eyes (mostly due to nostalgia I suppose).

@phuckinyernan

LOL...there is always one....

The only thing DC has over FH2 or FM6 is its graphics. Ill leave FM6 out of this for a moment as thats a SIM and as such will always be a superior representation of racecraft and car physics over any arcade including DC. Shit...forza beats most sims in that department too...

So...FH2...

superior car handling and dynamics to DC.

Superior car selection .. You dont get porsches or the vast selection of ferraris and rare/unique/historic cars that FH2 has in DC..

Superior track selection....more varied..and those roads interconnect and go on forever.

one minute you can be drag racing on highways in porsches:

The next you might be rallying:

http://forzamotorsport.net/...

http://forzamotorsport.net/...

http://forzamotorsport.net/...

Cruising with freinds around the open world...cant do that in DC..what you gonna do? just drive laps over and over?

http://forzamotorsport.net/...

http://forzamotorsport.net/...

http://forzamotorsport.net/...

Superior online suite: more varied events..higher player count. Its an easy win for forza horizon...and it does all of that with the superior car handling model too.

And DCs car editor is nowhere near forza levels. fact. Wake me up when you can make something that looks like this in DC:

http://forzamotorsport.net/...

http://forzamotorsport.net/...

http://forzamotorsport.net/...

http://forzamotorsport.net/...

http://forzamotorsport.net/...

So on what level is DC comparable to forza, other than being a game about cars? stop your baseless hyperbolic fanboy nonsense. I just gave you a wall of text as to why Forza horizon is the superior game and why your claim that DC "is on another level" is absolute rubbish. DC looks fantastic...but its a hollow game. The cars handle like shite compared to forza and the game simply dont have the depth of forza. so please spare us the DC crap in a forza thread.Its the weaker game. Your only propping up because your programming in your fanboy brain compels you to comment here, with your baseless, unwarranted FUD.

and yes. I have played both. Owned DC at launch.

Forza...it's been my favorite driving game series since Forza two.

I actually prefer the Horizon series to the original now, as I get to race in tracks & open world racing and it gives more freedom.

Only complaint it the Auction House.

Bring it back now! That was the best part.

herbs2997d ago (Edited 2997d ago )

Forza is an excellent racing series among the best in the racing genre including sim and arcade styles. It seems to get a bad rep lately likely because of jealous Sony fanboys also NFS is not in the same league as Forza in terms of quality.

Need for Speed Underground 2, nothing touches that game, nothing.

GHOSTxx4202997d ago

It was a great game really but ill take forza all day too. Mainly due to me liking sim-arcade racers which nfs wasnt.

Abnor_Mal2997d ago

Why is PS3 and PS4 in the tabs? Afterall its not like owners of a PlayStation console can play Froza to be able to compare it to Need For Speed. Thats like comparing NFS and Driveclub but then put Xbox One and Xbox 360 in the tabs. If all three games were being compared then its understandable, but as it is, I dont get the reasoning. The article doesnt even mention PlayStation at all.

tonyjames4042997d ago

The reason Ps3 and Ps4 are in the tabs are because NFS games have been released on those two consoles and this article will show up in the Ps3 and Ps4 sections as this article is about Ps related games :)

n4rc2997d ago

Forza all day.. Turn most assists on and its a fun casual racer.. Tho I'd say horizon is a better comparison

Tho I agree with the first comment.. U2 was one of the best racing games of all time imo

Sainox162997d ago

I was huge on nfs but once I played forza horizon 2 for the x1 never really looked back at nfs.

I wonder what the next buzz word they'll slap in front of AI to make it sound exciting next? "Generative" as if it's creating its own content. Lol.

Cacabunga39d ago

EA is already dying a painful death..

peppeaccardo39d ago

i have a better idea .. why the whole exec team doesn't get replaced by chat bots ?

just_looken39d ago

Though i agree the ai thing is already in other forms of media there have been ai translations/scripts/voice over and even full ai commercials aired on tv. Ubisoft has created a ai game creator story/vo/music except the building of the game

The new unreal engine has auto terrain creation tools

In the world of greed in which it is winning without any major blow back ai is our future.

everyone want's biden dead on the mic or a criminal instead of a woman and now we are getting ai everything because no one will stop watching/playing ai created media.

GamerRN39d ago

Maybe they should just focus on making good games?

Just a thought...

Kiryu199239d ago

Exactly EA are just pure evil. When they are beating Bank of America to be voted the worst company to work for that’s saying a lot

Good thing I don’t buy their games day one and wait for deep deep sale years after launch (the select few games I am actually interested in)

Gaming is making so much money yet the greed of these companies is never ending

CEO’s and people on board making millions yet cutting jobs to those who are actually making the products

EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.

EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'

I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.

ChasterMies39d ago

I having a feeling that most of the layoffs in the industry are based on the idea that AI will do the same job for less.

DarXyde39d ago

Very likely, yes.

Made worse by the fact that the execs aren't changing their compensations.

My deepest fear at this point is that we are now in the capitalism endgame.

At this point, we really should just burn AI to the ground. Executives cannot be trusted to do the right thing.
How are those people expected to support families if everything gets automated?

Barlos39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.

No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.

CobraKai39d ago

Exactly. If or when games start becoming more AI than people, im done with gaming. AI and companies like EA can suck donkey d***k.

just_looken39d ago

Though i agree remember this is no ps3/360 era were we got up to 3 games in one generation from on developer like gears/halo/bioware/sony/ms

The people today are pro esg/sweet baby for the most part AAA gaming is imploding right now.

We should be stepping back re evaluate everything as a whole this year xmen 97 written/directed by a woman that is nuts and its also being made by a group reshaping bodies to be less sexual like wtf. A dam famous cartoon from the 90's is being rebuilt with millions spent to be worse in everyway.

Gaming/movies/tv shows made today are worse than what we had 7years ago ai won't change this but that ai is also being made by these groups so either way we are screwed.

Eonjay39d ago

Don't be of afraid of women. Sexy characters in games and movies still exist. Got my Stellar Blade on preorder!!! Everything all the time doesn't need to be sexual...that's stupid, childish and dull.

Chocoburger39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

SSX Tricky / SSX 3
Def Jam Vendetta / Fight for New York
NBA Street
NFL Steet
Mirror's Edge
Bad Company
Burnout 3 / 4 / 5

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
