Need for Speed Shift OMFG!!!!!!

IMO it's the same as the rest of the NFS games. Graphics are so so, car selection is weak and like all the rest it suffers from poor driving dynamics. The controller only provides feedback (vibration) if you run off the track, crash, brake. It does NOT give feedback on progressive tire slippage, altitude changes, imperfections in the track floor, etc. I think a member on another forum I frequent summed it up best - imagine lapping the 'ring in a plane. IMO GT5/Forza 3 will be the driving sims to buy, NFS games... just rent 'em.

Gran Turismo owns anything NFS has ever or will ever do, if youre into real cars and real racing that is.

Meh.

Both this and GT5 pale in comparison to Forza Motorsports.


Dude, no contest whatsoever.....Forza is the way to go. I mean, c'mon? What other company DYNO TESTS ALMOST EVERY SINGLE CAR THEY PUT INTO THE GAME? What other company GETS PROFESSIONAL RACERS TO BETA TEST THE GAME?

They brought in a seasoned Le Mans driver, and had him run the course. He said he has never seen anything like it, it is EXACTLY the same. He was mentioning that Forza even picked up on little bumps in the road that you would only know if you drove the track. How did they know? Oh yea....because THEY DRIVE, WALK, AND EXAMINE EVERY SINGLE TRACK THEY ADD TO THE GAME. (Besides their made-up tracks, of course.)

And we aren't talking like 20 cars and 10 tracks....no no no. "Forza Motorsport 3 will include over 400 fully customizable cars from 50 manufacturers and over 100 tracks." (wiki)

I have to agree with you, nothing compares to Forza Motorspots. Forza is on another level when it comes to simulation racing.

forza IS NOTHING next to GT 5

I guess we will see when both game's are released, that is if GT5 will ever be realeased. But as of now the Forza franchise is leaps and bounds ahead of the GT franchise.

Play GT's last game, then play Turn 10's last game. No comparison.

Seeing as both companies have not yet released their newest installment, we only have their last one to go off of.


GT is nothing compared to Turn 10.

Here you go....Alex Wurz (2009 Le Mans WINNER) talking about Forza 3.

And let's NOT turn this into a PS3 vs 360 pissing contest. They both are amazing machines, there is no one better then the other. They are just better in their own ways.
