Forza Motorsport 3

[maca]

I love doing those sort of races.
Audi vs bmw in the same spec.
Touareg vs Q7 etc.

You will get GT5 eventually but they keep pushing it back.


I put the V10TT into the golf for a laugh.
Upgraded everything on the car and it goes to R3 class but the power delivery is not the best as it drops off quite quickly through the rev range.
Still handles okay thougha nd you can do inside view for it

Yeah, I'll ask it as a 30th birthday present from the VWW community. (I'm 19 atm).

I have no idea what you're on about, so I'm going to assume you're drunk.

Hmm, just got the R20 and chucked every (relatively sensible) mod at it. lots of fun.

Maybe try some more tomorrow night.

not to rain on anyones parade but ive just read somewhere recently that gt5 has been canned indefinatly after some kind of licening rights dibarcle with sony. appologies it is off topic , just thaught id say it here instead of starting a whole new thread. looks like we are all going to get forza now

GT series, Forza, they're both arcade and have crappy physics engines.... For realism, you need a simulation.

For Realism you need a Real Car........

Simulation or Arcade you can never replicate it (unless you are an F1 team).

Both Games serve a purpose and i can happily spend a couple of hours playing around as can most..

Uggghh for real? That sucks so bad! I was really looking forward to it.. Even though I'd probably never have a chance to play it.

If i wanted a realistic racing experience, i would go and do a track day.

If i want to put my 790kw riceline sideways down a japanese drift mountain then Forza is the game for me.
Plus i can use my TT V10 Golf R or do point to point races in a v8 supercar.

Games are meant to have an element on un-realism otherwise why bother playing.
Most of the time i play to escape the rules of reality. (see Tony Hawk, Halo, Red Dead Redemption)
It gets boring having to follow normal rules when playing games.

I understand your point though, that is why they make games like GTR and Race Pro

My thoughts exactly. Forza has enough "simulation" to make it a semi compelling driving sim but its not a total recreation of reality. The developers never positioned it as a super-realistic driving sim either. But... its the best thing going for easily living out your megadollar petrolhead fantasies. I will probably never get to punt a Porsche Carerra GT around the nuburgring IRL, so this is the best I've got.

Now if people could DRIVE PROPERLY in online mode then i'd be set. So sick of people rear ending me when I brake late.
