Man, I would say TOCA is the reason I do gravitate towards more sim/sim-esque games..
But, you lose, no FM4 on there makes you just a casual
I haven't stumped up for C.A.R.S. yet.. too little time, but it looks very promising, although I need more feedback about the physics, I've not been a fan of Shift, so need confirmation it's not gone in that direction..

I've played more then those listed, including Forza. But not enough to count. I don't have or plan on having a 360. 1 console per gen, always been that way always will. Hard enough to find time to play all the games I want with just the PC and 1 console.

So now LFS is not a "true sim" for "true sim heads"?
Because it's the PC sim I've enjoyed the most, maybe I'm a casual or something
Oh and GT5 may be lacking in some aspects of the simulation, but using a high-powered car with little aero and comfort tyres is not exactly "arcadey" or just "fun". I find it almost as hard as LFS, to be honest.
Oh and I also like/love Ridge Racer. WHAT NOW, UH?

Come again? Did anyone mention LFS?
LFS is a good sim IMO.
And yes, I agree, some aspect of GT5 is similar to more hardcore sims, the high level snappiness to the cars does tend more towards classic PC sims, I've always commended GT for that.. Of course, if you look at the entire breadth of physics, that's where you see a gap between the sim-cades and sims'.. even Forza does a lot right at the lower levels of physics IMO, but that's not what most people see on first inspection..

What the... I had a 360 before I got a PS3 and I also prefer GT5. I doubt it has anything to do with that in MM case and in general.
Snubbers said:
I thought maybe people in here considered LFS a bad sim... it wouldn't be the first time I've read it, really. And I'm glad you agree with me, and yeah, that's what I was talking about. A lot of people that like sims are usually unable to appreciate that there's a good level of simulation on consoles too.
shinn, my man, I was just joking. No need to argue over this one. You post silly looking back streets from GT tracks, I post a weirdly and silly looking picture of FM4. It's all we do in this thread after all, no?
lol.. looking back streets? You have just to look left or right. One of the buildings is in the track itself.Risk Breaker said:shinn, my man, I was just joking. No need to argue over this one.

I meant "silly-looking, back streets". I've seen at least a couple of those while I was cruising around Madrid paying close attention to all the streets. The way they have to cut corners and use plane images as streets on the sides of the track is cute.
Understandable though, imagine PD modelling the entire area. ETA 2020.

Yeah, just look left or right.shinnn said:
As if those photos aren't taken at an altitude higher then the cars.
Also why would you post Madrid shots when they were comparing London?

Does Forza 4 (or 3) have any city tracks?
Are there any reasons to take bad pictures with the photomode though?shinnn said:

Lipstick on a pig sums up most of GT5.
That pic you posted was weird though with the GT logo the wrong way but the houses the right way.shinnn said:
Next thing someone will say that they always drive looking to the left and that ugly bitmap made them throw up so they returned the game after playing it for 5 minutes. ;P
Yeah, every track looks like that from every angle. It's pretty hard to know what part of the screen is supposed to be the track and what part is supposed to be a car.cjelly said:
Congrats btw, you have soon found all the ugly pics. Post a Berlinette too

The 2nd picture actually looks pretty good in my opinion (besides that the road doesnt align properly).cjelly said:

If you could go through buildings in photomode like noclip you'd do it and complain there was nothing on the other side.
Pro-tip: you can noclip through cars and get the weirdest shots ever. Take pics of that and complain that's how the game looks on your screen.Metalmurphy said:If you could go through buildings in photomode like noclip you'd do it and complain there was nothing on the other side.

PGR4 is a 30fps game. Having the game run at 30fps means that there are possible to use the free hardware power to other things. PGR4 looks good indeed, but i dont think that this is that fair of a comparision. But why did this thread start to go GT5 vs PGR4 instead of GT5 vs FM4?

Maybe because Forza 4 doesnt have any city tracksDibbz said:
But honest question, does Forza 4 have any city tracks?It doesn't (not even the old ones from F3), because from what I understand the new lighting engine didn't work right for the city environment.test_account said:Maybe because Forza 4 doesnt have any city tracks

GT5 is not even a 60fps game. Having the game run at sub-60fps means that there are possible to use the free hardware power to other things. GT5 looks good indeed, but i dont think that this is that fair of a comparision.test_account said:

The point is you can post good and bad pictures of any game if you so choose, you have chosen to only post bad pictures of GT5. If you want to help your case you should post both the bad and good instead of going "[Pic] lol".
EDIT: And is being "Larger" a good thing when it comes to recreating tracks?

Ok, thankschubigans said:
You're mixing 60fps VS locked 60fpscjelly said:
GT5 is a 60fps game. If it wasnt a 60fps game, it would meant that it dont run at 60fps. Yes, there are some framerate drops a few times, but 99% of the time it is 60fps. And the reason why the framerate drops happens is because the hardware is being pushed too much (or that the code isnt optimized good enough).So you're saying i'm not a true sim head? Or are you saying GT is not a real sim? Because when i switched from GT to iRacing i had very little trouble getting up to speed.Snubbers said:True sim heads won't be playing either game, or they wouldn't be true 'sim heads'..
When I want something proper 'sim', I play iRacing or similar.. when I want sim-esque with a fun slant, I pick up GT/FM, more FM at the moment, but still have SPA waiting to be downloaded for GT, so will no doubt get back to it at some point..

You are being as vague as anything, what constitutes looks. As far as i know PGR's weather effects are still unrivaled, and that can be considered as looks. But do the cars look better than GT5's premiums? that's another area that can be considered as "Looks".
