Forza fans, rejoice (Xbox 360)

CBRich

Alright, Devil Z goes to darklocust. I'm looking for my next pick. Get those hands up, who wants to join? LOL.

I'm not sure that taking longer is a sign of a higher quality product but we just won't know until GT5 actually comes out. Either way I'll own both and I'm sure they'll both be great. And RROD has taken down two of my boxes so far.

To sum up: PS3 IS THE SUXOR, 360 TO THE DEATH!!!!!!!

Devil Z

CBRich lmaooooooo

What's your PS3 PSN tag if you have one?? mine's Babylon_

Add me if you play Battlefield BC, or GT5p

CBRich

I'm TheDarkAnubis, when I get home I'll have to add you.

Devil Z

I sent you an add, so hit me up if you ever down to play some shooters or sumthin

Devil Z, you are my savior!!! I agree with everything you said. GT5 will be amazing. Forza 3 looks good but still looks like an arcade game. NFS has disappointed me lately. Pro Street was OK but Undercover wasnt good at all. So im most likely not going to get Shift (thats what i say to every game but I still end up getting it )

My PSN is ihc95

Devil Z

LOL It's funny when I saw NFS Shift I just started laughing. EA is the GM of Entertainment gaming, just release the same crap over and over again. I heard a rumor GT5 will be announced sometime between Sept 24-27 during the TGS. I'm on PSN all the time so ima add you =)

EA sucks. They had a stranglehold on the NASCAR license for a long time and churned out nothing but crap. Finally they don't have it anymore and NASCAR isn't doing exclusive licensing so there are a few companies out there that are making NASCAR stuff... GT5 included, which is really cool.

I'll stick to the 360 side. Frankly, having played Forza 1 and 2, and also GT1, 2, and 4, Forza's straight system of modifications and relatively tame tuning was fun and easy to comprehend for the gamer and immersive for the true enthusiast. GT was great, but seriously, it's just ... too realistic. I don't buy racing games so I can drive tiny European econoboxes that don't even make it past 90 mph on a three mile straightaway.

Also, I only own a X360, lol.

ahh..doesnt have the sports package...im not buying it! haha jk. not that u have to heel-toe..i guess index-middle finger in the game lol. i cant wait till it comes out. i also considered a ps3 for gt5, and for bluetooth...but i dont think its worth it. the only thing i didnt like about forza too was aesthetic modification.

Actually, I think it is sport package, the wheels seem eerily similar, even though they're blurry. Missing a spoiler though. There probably is a 370Z with a sport package available for purchase, lol.

I hope the game feels less sticky grip and gets mechanics like RaceDriver GRID. You could drift through turns and it had a beautiful physics engine. I hope a similar engine makes it to the FM3.

From everything I've researched Forza is a simulation whereas GRID is more arcade-like, though well done. The physics in GRID make it easier for someone to jump in a car and drift it, etc. whereas Forza the car needs to be tuned properly to get it to perform. GRID does give you the feel of speed better but is not realistic whereas Forza the numbers are more accurate meaning 100 mph is 100 mph covering a specified distance of track in specified time. Without peripheral vision due to the TV the real physics don't feel as real because we depend a great deal on our peripheral vision to "feel" speed. GRID compensates by making the experience "feel" more real but the actual physics/speeds are adjusted for feel, not for accuracy. There are tuners in Forza that tune cars according to real world specs, and make fine adjustments from there, that's how close Forza 2 is to reality. It's not perfect, and feels like the physics are more off once the car breaks significant traction, but it's really a good physics engine, best out so far as I understand(pre-GT5). I can't speak for Gran Turismo, I've not researched it as much. And I play Forza 2 a great deal and you can drift.... it's hard, but can be done, there are people who do it flawlessly. I on the other hand drift good for maybe a lap then wreck it or stall the drift. When I started Forza 2 I was super frustrated until I got some help with tuning and learning car physics, in fact, I learned more about suspension setup playing that game and learning from others in it than I had anywhere else. I've never had a tunable suspension on a real car...... that WILL change.

I agree, the only thing with Forza 2 I didn't like is that cars couldn't go airborne, or, if you did a headon with another car, they didn't get taken out. Granted, it's billed as a racing sim, but at least make it fun for someone who gets totally frustrated to get a little steam out before trying again.

I do have to say looking at the g-force meter on a 180MPH+ head on collision with another car also going around 180MPH+, is pretty funny...

Awesome picture and its in my color too!
