Dear readers and followers, I'm very tired of hearing the fanboy wars between Gran Turismo and Forza series for a long time so this inspired me to write this song as a parody of Black or White by Michael Jackson.
Lyrics:
I took my race car to a race circuit for a test drive and tuning session The Gran Turismo fan is that Forza Motorsport fan with you? Yes we're one and the same
Now I run with the race cars And the motors has happened tonight
But, if you're thinkin' about race cars, rally cars, and road cars It doesn't matter if you're Gran Turismo (PlayStation) or Forza Motorsport (Xbox) fan
They post my message on Saturday and Sunday I had to tell them I ain't second to none
And I told about equality and its true Either you're wrong or you're right
But, if you're thinkin' about my race car It doesn't matter if you're Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport fan
I am tired of this drama I am tired of this elitism I am tired of these toxic people Travel through the roads when the going gets rough I get stressed from reading these fan wars I will avoid the toxic fans of Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport Both games have pros and cons Racers, when the going gets mean
Protection For the fanbase Causing grief in the car racing community Its arguments are very immature like 12-year-olds or under I'd rather love both games See, it's not about your favorite product of choice It's your behavior and karma Where your loyalty comes from Is where your space is I've seen the roads get rougher I'm not going to spend my life being loyal to only one franchise
Don't tell me you hate on me When I saw you throwing dirt on my race car
But, if you're thinkin' about cars It doesn't matter if you're Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport fan
I said if you're thinkin' of being my idol It doesn't matter if you're Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport fan
I said if you're thinkin' of being my pit crew It doesn't matter if you're Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport fan
Ooh, ooh Yea, yea, yea now Ooh, ooh Yea, yea, yea now
It's Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport It's tough for you to drive (yeah, yeah, yeah) It's Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport
It's Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport It's tough for you to drive (yeah, yeah, yeah) It's Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport
End of the lyrics
Bonus facts:
I've seen some people compare from a driving game to another with having different sub-genre such as Gran Turismo to Forza Horizon or either Assetto Corsa vs Forza Horizon, which doesn't really make any sense because each sub-genre, has different gameplay.
Want something that makes more sense? (No matter if its a first or third party title): Why not compare Forza Horizon to Test Drive Unlimited or The Crew series instead? because they're open-world arcade racers. Meanwhile comparing Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport makes sense because they're both simcade circuit racers. Also comparing Assetto Corsa Competizione to rFactor 2 totally makes sense because they're both high-end sim racers.
Repeat! Forza Motorsport is a simcade racer while Forza Horizon is an open-world arcade racer!
P.S I'm not a fan of Michael Jackson but I just wanted to write this song to encourage gamers not to commit this kind of fan wars.
Ugh, both consoles' library of games is drought at this moment, apart from playing PS4/Xbox One games via backwards compatibility.
It's up to you to buy them by the next shipment or Christmas 2021 then add them to your gaming collection, but make sure you are capable to wait for more games to come.
Here are my reasons why these two are my most dedicated 1st party IPs of all time because:
Having good realistic driving physics for the simcade standards but both definitely not as realistic as higher tier sim racers such as Assetto Corsa, rFactor, GTR (Sector3 Studios), Race (Sector3 Studios), and Project Cars.
Having a good roster of playable cars and racing circuits.
Having tons of car upgrades to choose from.
Nicely designed menu UI.
Good menu soundtracks.
Realistic timing in pit stops.
Decent career mode until the release of GT Sport and Forza Motorsport 7, but I hope both GT7 and Forza Motorsport Reboot will have a better career mode.
Circuit racing is my cup of tea in realistic racing games in general.
The driving physics wise for these two, both are more accurate and realistic than Sega GT and Sega's Ferrari F355 Challenge.
Bad things with these two at this moment:
Rammers in online racing matches are so rude.
Some cars are absent (Due to licensing expiration).
Forza Motorsport series still lacks proper pitstop animation.
GT Sport and Forza Motorsport 7's career mode felt underwhelming compared to previous ones plus lacking qualifying mode before the main race.

For Forza Motorsport Reboot and Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, I guess both may get delayed until 2022 so their respective developers can have extra time to polish them.
