I think Forza 5 deservedly should be top of racing sim's at this time it delivers a great all round experience(what's available in the game)though it's lacking the content that Forza 4 had and day/night/weather which i'd love to see in a later Forza title i think turn 10 delivered the closest driving simulator so far that i've played and did an especially great job with the car/track physics.

It's a simulation racer though not as hardcore as the 1's you've listed.

Maybe it's changed since I last played it, the last version I played was Forza 3 and It never felt like real racing as the races were between 3-5 laps, no qualifying, no cautions or safety cars, and a load of areas on tracks people used to be able to cut without any slow down penalties or disqualification... Driving physics were okay but the actual racing experience was poor.

cfc784402d ago

The physics have gotten a lot better over the whole game since 3 but yes a lot of the things you mentioned are missing still i'd stick to pc it sounds like you need a much more life like racer than what Forza 5 delivers or maybe go to a track day and experience the real thing.

That’s cool! Knowing me I woulda still done the tests, but awesome they had cheats

The article SHOULD say, “BLAST FROM THE PAST! Old school gamers in awe as GT4 cheat codes are discovered after 2 decades. These “cheats” offered free treats for gamers added time savers, additional ways to play, and more. Some magazines had sections or complete issues dedicated to them. Sound strange? Gamers today know them by another name, DLC or Downloadable content…

Sounds like a different article. You should write it. Can you do blogs on this site?

GT4 was my first ps2 game. I loved it, but the disc stopped working before I could complete it and I never got it replaced feelsbadman.

Since not a fan of GT's chase cam choice ... the camera mod is the best one, imo

The last great GT game.
Been playing GT7 and it's alright, a bit dull, great graphics and handling but it just lacks single player content.
