GT5 is a real driving sim.

Forza 4 is a driving sim for everybody.

Forza is too arcade like for me. Physics in GT5 are better, if you cant drift in GT5 then you dont practise enough. I can tsuiso basically every track. Feels like the car is on ice in F4 compared to GT5.

Forza 4 graphics and sound quality are awesome, GT5 have alot of catching up to do sound wise.

Having played both back to back this morning I like driving GT5 more.

people have gotten too used to drifting in games where any 12 year old can hold a slide for ages. that is far from realistic. so now when they play games that make it realistic (read hard) to hold a long drift and accurately link corners they have a sook and say that the physics are crap. the physics of real life are also crap.

Funny how a game that was in development for 2 years came out to be better just a year later than a game that was in development for 5 years. Good work polyphony :down:

oh not this old chestnut again. GT5 wasn't in development for 5 years. first they made GT5 prologue. then they scrapped all the physics and started over, plus they also made GT for PSP at the same time as GT5. so realistically GT5 was only in development for about 3 years. secondly, did polyphony say that they started developing GT5 the moment they finished GT4? i think you will also find that turn 10/microsoft is a bigger company, with more staff, than polyphony

I stopped playing iRacing just after the NTM came out, really should get back into it, but it gets so fkn expensive after a while when trying to run in a full round.

LFS physics aren't that crash hot, even GT5 is better than LFS now (it was tip top all those years ago tough)

LFS physics are mainly screwed by the weird tyre grip but drifting in it is the closest thing to real life there is, steering technique's are 99% the same you use in real life, i learned how to drift playing LFS and use it to practice because of that

in GT5 it feels like its not the tyre's turning and pushing the cars, so when drifting the car feels weird, stuff like spinning both rear wheels while turning around a corner and not getting a hint of the car getting sideways

i can drift good in GT5 but to do it i need to change my driving style to something that isn't realistic to get around the flaws in the physics unlike LFS where i drive pretty much the same as i do in real life, drifting like that in GT5 wasn't fun so i stopped playing

whilst down-shifting? clutch is RB, accelerator RT, and uses the right thumbstick to shift up and down.

that's not double-clutching, double-clutching is when you clutch in, put it in neutral, clutch out, clutch in, change gear then clutch out

exactly. that's simply rev matching. no racing car driver double clutches..... unless he also drives the transporter to the race track.

I am not sure what you are saying here as the guy is having a sook that Forza 4 is 'too hard'. Then again it's for drift so...

Yeah, that Polyphony "mum and pop" outfit, always struggling to get by as a subsidiary of Sony. Turn 10 actually have less full time staff but more overall staff were working on Forza 3 as they outsource a lot of art work.

just bought this game after playing for a few hours im impressed , it improves on forza 3 graphics and sound wise... i do wish there were more oldschool jap cars.

i have played gt5 as well, and i prefer the forza driving physics. gt5 fell short of my expectations after waiting for it so long...

Finally got an Agera. :D

It's pretty brutal. Destroys almost anything in a straight line, and it's better than a Gumpert through the corners.

And I just hit level 48. Pretty soon I'll have to start buying my cars...

what wheels can you actually use?

Fanatec

Microsoft

MadCatz

Thrustmaster

Fanatec make the best and very much most expensive wheels, their new one for Forza 4 seems to be a lot more resonablely priced, or should be, never know by the time it gets here.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
