Gran Turismo 5 fans!! Break the Silence

here is my opinion on both forza3 and gt5 (note i have every gt game ever made and both forza games). they will both be great games and gt5 will probably look better than forza3 but forza3 has better mechanics. i have come to like forza alot more because of one simple fact, the controller. now assuming you aren't using a steering wheel to play either game then forza definatley wins. this is because on an xbox controller you can actually feather the throttle by using the triggers for gas and brake, where as on a ps3 controller all you have is an x and b button and its either press button on don't no half way there. another thing i should say is i feel that forza is much easier to pick up for someone new to the simulator genre, with the racing line and whatnot, plus no stupid driving test you have to do. i would also like to say i have tried the steering wheels on both games (forza2 and gt4) and seem to always go back to the controllers. my xbox steering wheel seemed to be calibrated wrong so i took it back and got another only to have the same problem. the logitech wheel i had for the ps2 worked better than the xbox one but i could always do better using the controller. one other note i would like to add is that gt5 will have nascar in it.

Technically you can use R2/L2 for gas/brake if you want digital control. But that being said, I totally agree that the 360 controller rocks the socks off the PS3. THAT being said, I don't use controllers on racing games. Wheel FTW.

I am waiting to see how well the Slim does performance-wise while playing Bluray. I am not in the market for it, seeing as I already have the 80gig backwards compatible unit, but for some reason I don't feel like it will have 100% of the processing power that the big brother does...Maybe I'll be wrong.

And seriously, the XBOX 360 is not a God System. It is needed by an avid gamer just as much as the PS3 and the PC.
