Gran Turismo 5 vs. Forza Motorsport 3

2009-09-24T23:53:04-05:00

So in your personal opinion, which of the 2 racing franchises do you see becoming more successful? and for what reasons?

Best Le Mans 24 hour game/sim?

2009-09-28T10:52:44-05:00

I'm really into this race & am looking for the best 24 version of this race, any platform. I'd like a day/night sequence, weather & a decent sized grid. I have the old PS2 Le Mans 24 & it is pretty good but dated. I have GT4 but after almost 300 days I still cannot do more than a 2 lap race, which is a waste of my time.

Any advise on where to look for another version of this race?

Guess how much it costs to make Gran Turismo 5

That....is a LOT of money for a video game.

Anyone race GTR?

2009-07-20T14:33:43-05:00

I was wondering if anyone here races in GTR 2 or GTR Evo for the PC? Been looking into joining some leagues again. Took some time off due to band and work duties the past couple years. Anyone race in any or race in the game in general?

Need for Speed: Shift—Discussion

2009-09-15T05:04:59-05:00

The Need for Speed franchise (currently owned by EA) has a notorious history of being crammed full or tuner cars, custom upgrading and arcade-style police chases. No longer, which is why I'm posting it here. With the series being dead for the past three years after a precision driving and togue title, for better or worse they're going in a completely opposite direction.

This year, the offering is substantially different-- it's advertising itself as a Simulation game. ...It's worth noting that they don't say it's a true sim in the style of Forza or Gran Tourismo, but that they want to balance 75% of the sim experience with a "little" arcade feel so that people can pick it up and enjoy it in any settings and that they won't kill themselves every time they enter Eau Rouge a bit off. Their "gimmick" is visual 'enhancements' depending on what's going on in your driving-- if you brake heavily the view shift forward with the Gs, sides of the screen get a little blurry at high speed, etc..

Cars include commuter-sport such as the MX-5 or Cobalt SS... entry level sports cars like the RX-7, LanEVO, Z370, BMW 1-series, etc... before entering supercar range of 500hp+ machines with R35 GT-R, R8, 'Vette, etc... cars you'd see in DTM... and finally a selection of "ridiculous" cars like Zondas or the Bugatti. The total car list is in the 60-80 range, I believe... but all performance cars.

Tracks offered include Spa(!), Silverstone, Road America, Laguna Seca, and a lot of other fairly well-known tracks that haven't been available in other games, such as Brands Hatch and Ebisu. All the tracks have been faithfully simulated. The pre-release known track list is around 20 GP circuits.

If you have questions about the game, feel free to post and hopefully someone will be able to answer...

Any news on a Nascar game for 2010 or 2011?

2009-10-18T00:44:55-05:00

I'm surprised there are still no rumors or anything about a new Nascar game for XBOX 360, PS3, etc. I know all about the Nascar cars in Forza or GT and I know all about Iracing but that doesn't count. I'm talking about a game for all the consoles that is a 100% Nascar game only.

I was sooooooo excited to see EA Sports not renew the Nascar contract. With looking at great XBOX 360 games like DIRT, Forza, GT, it makes me so frustrutated that Nascar doesn't have a game out like that. Could you imagine how cool a Nascar game on 360 or PS3 would be if made like games such as DIRT? I think a game like that is coming, just don't know when.

Anybody have any news or rumors at all?
