Gran Turismo 5 fans!! Break the Silence

I have not read all the pages in this thread, but have had a lot of seat time with both games. The physics on Forza are waaayyyyyy better than GT. GT looks waaaayyyy more clean than Forza though, and they have good force feedback steering wheels (G25), which gives them the win in my opinion. What's the point of a racing sim without a USB FB steering wheel?
The buttons on the PS3 controller are pressure sensitive, but the wheel, pedels, and FB take it to a whole new level of simulation. Pair that with a sim cockpit, and digital TV, and the fun factor goes waaayyyyy up.

I think Prologue was a cash grab that was way overpriced for what we got. I was more than seriously disappointed with it. Polyphony really has taken too long to bring this game to market. Every fall the rumor mill starts that the game is coming for x-mas, or spring, and it never does. I agree that this launch has been an epic failure. You can't drag out the launch of a game for 3 years, unless the game is going to be the second coming.... And I truly hope that it is. I hope they finally get the physics right, and that it's not just a re-hash of GT4.

All that being said.... I'm sure I'll be in the sim seat in time attack mode the first week it comes out.

Your opinion is exactly what I respect, I don't want to argue points and go search up topics to prove points. I'm glad you see the two games the way you see them and have an honest opinion about both. In my eyes I believe GT5 will change video games and racing sims to the point we have wished to see. PD have the all the credit and sales to prove it, but with 5 years in the making i'm am more then sure this game is not your average game. This is a game to set new limits TRUST ME I promise you.
