Already bought the Microsoft Racing Wheel. Just waiting for Forza 2 to come out

 

i am a LONG time GT fan. i've been playing the GT series for, shit almost 10 years. forza is no where near the driving feel of GT. not even close.

i.e. on GT4 at the "scuba" circut i can run 1:05's all day with a stock AP1. no driving aids, on street tires. my modded(NA) S2k's runs from the 59sec range(full bolt ons) to the 54sec range with the opera performance s2000.

on forza i cant run even close to those times. the game smiply will not let you pitch the car into a corner, tail brake, brake deep into corners, and sustain a anykind of high speed cornering. to me the game sucks. i would almost rather play GT3 over forza.

 

I said looks realistic.. you might want to read what people actually post before you reply.

 

I loved the online competition on Forza. There is no game in exsistance that does not have kids yelling and screaming and talking trash but it seems compared to Halo, or other online games the general demeanor of the players is a little better. I just kinda had to get decent and find the good racers.

Comparing times is tough with mods, but just for *hits and grins I ran the R8 in forza on Laguna Seca and compared it to what the R10 ran on the ALMS series. VERY convincing that if i had put some time into it I could have gotten down to what Mcnish was posting in qualifying (I was 1.5-2 seconds off).

I played Tourist Trophy recently and it was a decent game but it sure did have its flaws. I guess im used to the online community and that ANYTHING goes, regardless of the games flaws. In TT we were trying to post decent times on Laguna (me, a guy from work and a few other of his friends) just a friendly contest. My friend and i found out if you crash at certain points it will set you back on the track at a VERY advantageous position and took 2-3 seconds off our laps like that. Of course we wernt going to win by cheating so we let the other guys know of that glitch, some of them had found it. That wouldnt fly online and there would be people exploiting a lot about the game. ESP the damage issues in GT i believe.

When you said "Forza has a lot to offer a lot of people, but im just not buying what Forza is selling" I think that is VERY true and the Forza VS GT issue shouldnt be an issue at all for i feel they are different, and appeal to different people for different reasons.

I'll play GT cause i like cars and it looks pretty, but Forza is fun to me and I can and have played it hours on end racing people all over the world....cannot get enough!

Well said Nate...

 

ferrari in GTHD doesn't look as nice as Forza2 Enzo.

 

i read in GT planet. GT5 will have online play dont know how accruate it is but GT5 prologue will have it. its gonna come out in 07. full GT5 will come out 2008.

 

My bad, but look at what you wrote. In your first line you bash forzas online play and driving physics. Then you go on to say how great GT looks. When i read your post i associated the two sentences together, implying that forza sucks in all aspects to GT. If you look at what i wrote, i was just stating a commonly accepted fact that GT's split screen engine is glitched out. I was only responding to your opinion with my own opinion, supported by fact.

I don't think its my lack of reading as much as what you implied. So instead of playing word games with you i will simply state that the GT franchise has made many promises in the past and has failed to deliver. Making assumptions about a game that will likely be delayed till Q4 2008 is just stupid. The same goes for FORZA but at least we know for sure that it will come with a online mode.

 

wait wth? there're gonna be ferraris in GT?

 

yup. GT just added ferraris
