Just had a look and it's actually pretty cheap, my Google-Fu is telling me my driving force GT isn't compatible?
Have they patched in support since release?Gouda Jouji

No, the G25/G27/DFGT don't work on 360.
I would love to see a side by side of The Ring in real life, GT5 and FM4 using bumper view under roughly similar lighting conditions (as close as one can get). I think we, well most of us, would find there is something strikingly wrong with the later game.
iRacing would be pretty crap from a driving perspective without its laser scanned tracks. The tracks are more than scenery, they are just as much a determinant of how the car behaves as the physics. This is one of the main reasons why, iRacing (at least on oval format) feels so good. This is the reason why I can never fully enjoy FM4. The quality of the tracks models is severely lacking. I do not mean level of detail or appearance, I mean the accuracy of the track surface. What good is a fancy tire model if what the tire is in contact with is not accurate?

Why don't we do one on Laguna Seca or Indianapolis as well!
And no matter how fanboy, no one who plays Forza would say it's Nurburgring recreation is accurate. We know this. We don't try defending it until the cows come home.
I remember when I made a gif exactly the same as that
But on a serious note, get a Fanatec wheel. It's better than the logitecs and compatible with all 3 platforms.

wtf. I recorded that footage today. Promotional video. lol.
Oh, and to the person who asked if we're still supporting Forza Motorsport 4 with community events then that's very much a yes

Oh that's cool! Good to see that community support, nice work.

That would not go down well with my partner, lol. She bought me the DFGT as part of my birthday present just before GT5 came out.
Those Fanatec wheels do look sexy though. Maybe a couple of years into next gen I might be able to get away with a new wheel, next gen GT and Forza should hopefully be around by then. This thread will probably still be going too, ha!

I'm sitting here doing some work, and left GT5 playing it's demonstration runs.
Seriously, if you haven't done it, just pop in the disc and when it gets to the main screen, hit Circle and let it play the demonstrations.
So far it has played a historical Le Mans race at dusk. A rainy run on the Nurburgring by a GT-R, a WRC race on Madrid and a production rally car on Toscana.
It's just splendid. I could sit here watching this for hours. The lighting, the details, the soundtrack. Polyphony's efforts have a tremendous appeal to my sensibilities as an automobile enthusiast.
Anyway, check it out. I might capture some of these and YouTube them.

The blacks are crushed because it is in shadow. Only way to fix that would be to overexpose the rest of the photo(increase aperture width, iso, or decrease shutter speed), or take multiple photos at different exposures and create an hdr image. Has nothing to do with contrast. The gt photo you posted is uniformly lit so the dynamic range is not going to cause issue.

This jiff makes me want to play GT5 again. The subtle movements of the car on the bumps is so well done.

Special version Ferrari F40 was given to MS due MS and Ferrari's special relationship.

I wanted to say I love your posts. The other one in particular where you said "I guess I'll bite" or something. You speak the truth of both the pros and cons of both games.

Shaders and lighting is indeed better in GT5, but that FM4 shot looks awful. The guy who made it took the worst scenario ever for FM4.
Did you color the Forza wheels black?
Edit: Yup.

"And so the eternal battle continued, as Spring turned into Summer once again"
I thought I,m the only one doing that
seriously, there's something "magical" about the replay scenes on GT5. Never got bored watching it. Can't wait for the next game!

All that talk about the F40 and Enzo reminded me of these videos, the F40 is such a beautiful beast

GT5 fans won't be happy before the list states:
1. Xbox and M$ are trash, they like to earn money and are evil. Sony only does it for love and Japanese honour.
2. Forza is complete trash and should never even be played, ever. Will it die soon?
3. GT5 is perfect and gamers shouldn't be able to play anything else.
4. Everything branded with the Sony logo is perfect and the best. Cell 4 ever!
5. Everything branded Xbox is trash and shouldn't even by played and will be pre-hated before even tested.
6. Polyphony is a God and should be worshipped like one, daily.
7. Turn 10, lol, can't make games.
8. Nobody shall ever criticize the GT series and GT5, it is holy and perfection and GT fans have very touchy feelings that need to be taken in consideration if any criticism is considered to be posted. The criticism of GT5 is of course always wrong, GT5 is perfect.
9. Everything is wrong with the Forza games, they are virtually unplayable.
And so the thread can settle.
Us that don't give a shit about brands and companies can continue playing both and this thread can die.

Wow, nice work ResidentDante, you managed to compile an absolutely perfect and undeniable list of shit that no one has said in this thread.
Thumbs up!

Thanks! What are airbrakes again? I just can't get my head around them yet!
You have may not of said it but you Metalmurphy are one of the main posters that have certainly implied everything on that list over the years.

Well, this is getting more interesting.
Now this is an interesting turn. Jesus tells his followers that the word they preach as his is bullshit. Jesus = Brian?
but GTfordguy told us you are a Forza god and we are all measly peasants..

I want a comparison of direct feed shots of both games.
Aren't people getting the Enzo and the F40 confused here? No serious claims were made about the F40 being a 'special' car, I think that originated in a joke post from the GT side, no?
Still interested to hear the Enzo story, though.
And those here who doubt BADNED's credibility need to seriously wake the fuck up and do some research. The man is a gold mine of accurate insider information, although he's also the biggest prick-teaser on the interwebs...

Came here to post this.
Also worth noticing is how The Gathering™ is done.
All people are here.
We should now take serious efforts in getting Nirolak out of his crazy idea to merge all racing games into one thread and kill this (and this type) thread.
We are already planning in making PC Racing #2 thread (if McLaren manages to come back it will be even better project to work on), new Gran Turismo and Forza games should be out by the end of this year and dedicated threads for them will be created, while this thread was doing wonders for keeping the spam out of the main threads.
Also, other racing games will get their threads too probably and only good solution I see is creating some main Racing Games thread that will cover all those (including this) separate threads in the OP via link but also not kill any of them - especially this one.
I honestly think we have successfully avoided many derails thanks to this thread in that fact solely justify its purpose - while its existence should remain unquestioned ever purely because awesomeness of its substance.
you know, those cars in forza that are not 100% true in detail, they are just gifts from t10 to the community.
its just that t10 is more ..stingy, so they only gifted us like 5 or 10 of these models, while polyphony on the other side being generous they gifted us ..810!
;D
p.s. this thread has the purpose of being entertaining. lets keep it that way.

Just to pick up on this. You sure about that, GT specifically ?

There's plenty of direct feed shots of GT in this thread, in game and photomode GT is well ahead of Forza in the graphics department.
There are quite a few people (myself included) who find the frame rate and the screen tearing in GT5 a little too distracting. I guess it doesn't bother you so much?
