Oh man, I guess it's finally time that I give in and get myself an Xbox 360.

Have you ever tried GTR2 rFactor or iRacing? Have you ever heard about rFactor 2 and its new tyre wear/deforming model? Do you know what rFactor Pro is? Seems like real life physics has already been simulated.. Find it in an affordable pc it's just a matter of time.

They do cost in other resources such as ram as well as development time. It seem PS3 ram limit is one of the main thing held GT5 back.
(P.S plus at least on the PC better the graphics harder the game works the CPU)
You do have a point graphics and painting your car is the main selling points of console game vs PC sims. I saw a gaming magazine made fun of this which had had a diagram of "do-to-list" for racing. The whole list was about painting and tune the car while at the very end it got to the racing part: Start race, turn first corner , win. With the right upgrades and tune the car I won most of the races in FM3 after the first corner.

Lol, looks like you're average race in GT5. Start at the back and crawl your way forward.
OT: It's a great circuit and would love to give a zonda R a go on it! Hope they put in in FM4

i wish i could use my g27 900 degrees with my xbox so i could play & enjoy this game..better than that i wish i could play this on my ps3
i heard about a convertor a little while ago that was doing the job , connecting the g27 to xbox , but i heard its 200 degrees & has lag

Seems people here don't know the pc sim racing world too much, an exhample of customized skin in a PC racing game, Shift 1 on PC with a 905. Not to mention how much better looks the last racing games in a proper pc, F1 2010, Shift 2 60fps rock solid, amazing details, complete hardware support, tons of mods availables. Now the main selling point of console vs PC is... Money. Consoles are still cheaper than a Pc, of course they can't offer the performances of a now days personal computer. The problem in consoles is developers are pushing graphic details too high for the actual hardware.. Gt5 shadows, Shift 2 bad frame rate.. not a good idea imho. They should reduce details a bit and offer a proper gaming experience without any issue, expecially because you can't change frame rate in consoles.

Than i advice you not too move lol
It looks like it might be nice with a 3 screen setup. 👍
But until I buy the other 2 screens and the kinect I'll practice on my cheaper 3d version. Hop in my minivan and run on Full Simulation. I just have to figure out how to pay the body shop with credits after a accident.

He He, spread the world lol.
Holy..... (!BIG FORZA FAN!). Damn, why am i finding this on a GT Forum?
Looks like Forza 4 is the racing game nummero uno! ON THE XBOX 360.
GT5 was great, but this will be amazing!!!
Just played 3 ours Forza 3 today. Damn my Fanatec is ready!!!!

There's an adapter out now, supposedly you can.
It will be interesting to see. I think they can do it if they don't let the suits screw them.
I hear what you're saying, that's pretty much why I've picked up a used copy of Race Pro for the 360 about a month ago and have been having a blast with that game. It's not going to win ANY beauty pageants but I love the RACING in it.
No , more like the mods and site owner(s) are adults here and seem to have a passion for all racing. However don't let that fool you. I've seen some head shaking behavior from some guys in the general GT forum. I swear I almost went and had a rabies shot after reading some of it. lol
The good news is that they will have 16 players online now. That's cool. Have to admit though with the group I race with we never came even close to having that many participating at one time.

Woosh... straight over your head. A few things (off the top of my head) that those games don't have: tires that blow out, rims that bend, consideration of elevation/air density/moisture, how heat dissipates and metal expansion, the intricacies of moving engine parts, any form of water physics whatsoever... I could go on all day... wind or weather, track debris... A gentleman's bet that none of them calculate the temp of the road as different in the shade versus in the sun.
Why don't they have these things? Because the things they *do* have like resistance, traction, all the car tweaks, and weight/mass are merely close-to-life representations, and are not based wholly on real physics models; only fragments at best: just enough to give the perception and keep the frame-rate up. If it had real physics, they wouldn't have to program an exception for a tire popping, it would just be an occurrence within the physics model of the tire when the air pressure got too much for the mass of the tire wall to contain. But instead, it's just polygons, textures, algorithms and conditional statements like all other computer code.
There's a reason why you have to push gas to go, there's a lot of constant forces holding a car in place. All that data being calculated by a computer (or a network)? Not in our lifetime. Your "sim" racing game is to real physics as "The Sims" is to your real life.

Doesn't one go hand in hand?
Also I'm looking forward (and sidewards) to head tracking.

Head tracking is hardcore. We wanted it in GT and we want it in Forza.
Tire simulation improvements are physics improvements. In fact they are one of the most important physics.
