You tried the new wheel for Forza? Bloody horrible!
Need to get one like yours with pedals.
I'll wait till I upgrade the 360 to the Elite with Kinect.

Works and plays on track
Mines ok for about Ł40 but the pedals aren't sensitive enough and not enough movement so they don't offer enough control. So it's almost as though they're on or off if you get me.

Ive had 3 xboxes now, none of them rrod, ive just sold them as i didnt play them, ive had 2 ps3's now and the first one got sold, the second one was purchased for gt5 and gt5 only, im a die hard gt5 fan ever since the first one, well you know what, i sold the ps3 a week later. GT5 is shite. Ill stick to forza any day and i used to hate xboxes.

It's down to personal choice and what you want to get from a game. I thought GT5 was really disappointing. They'd sapped every last ounce of fun out of the game in the pursuit of the 'perfect' sim. I was really close to buying a PS3 just for GT5… until I played it! If I wanted that kind of game I'd have bought an F1 sim.
Loved Forza 3 to bits though, thought it had just the right blend of gameplay and fun could play it for hours and never got bored of it – but Forza 4 is just awesome! It's like 3, but better in every area. There's no way (IMO) that you can compare GT5 to F4.
I don't actually have an Xbox, or PS3, and the last console I bought was a PS2, but every week we have a 'lad's night in' which involves a lot of Xbox. While we play a range of games, we always seem to go back to Forza, and now 4's out I doubt any other game will get a look in for quite some time.

i prefer forza also tbh
i have both consoles and both games, i basically brought another ps3 solely for gt5 and although i have enjoyed it forza 4 has more to offer imo
forza is the new daddy of racing games and i cant see gran tourismo bettering it for another 5 years at least

I personally think GT5 and Forza are focused at different parts the market, I love GT5, I have been playing it now since it came out for me its the perfect sim, Forza is a racing game not a sim, and before people say how can it be a sim when you cannot change the brakes, you just don't get it.
I have now moved to the online aspect and I cannot get enough of it, the version 2.0 upgrade has made online so much more fun.

ive played the forza 4 demo at a mates house and it barely seems different to forza 3
at home i have ps3 with gt5. If gt5 was to sort out the tuning properly i.e engine changes, turbo/supercharger swaps for ANY car and brakes, and then change standard cars to premium, itd own forza hands down imo (this is just from playing forza 3 and forza 4 demo)
Forza is more for people who wanna tune their cars up to the max and piss about with loads of mates online
GT5 isnt about modifying cars at all, its just about driving them... nothing else. Its purely and simply a drivers game
Fuckloads of people dont like gt5's handling as its "unrealistic" and "forza's alot better" .........its gonna be years and years until they can make a game thats as close to real driving as possible
Both good games tbh, it just depends what you wanna get out of the game

how can you ever call GT 5 driving unrealistic, its just won award for being so realistic, i have spent a lot of time on forza 3 and for real driving it does not come close, we all knowforza 4 is just a patch not realy a new game
A mate who bought a ps 3 just for gt5 and has a xbox as well says and i quote
forza 4 is no step forword, the graphics are better, but still not ad close to GT5, as a racing sim ie driving GT5 wins again
he has playef it for a week, but he was online last night onGT5
Says it all!

So no, it doesn't say it all. Infact, surely you quoting your friend means you don't even own forza 4, so how can you comment on it?

Now I don't own Forza 4, I have a xbox up stairs and I have Forza 3 and I am making a assumption, but from judging from all the my mates and all I have read on the web, it is just a tweak no more.
I am not going to buy the game, but I must admit I was tempted when I spotted it at Sainburys today, but my logical brain kicked in, I am just not into chucking graphics onto cars just bores me, I like to race people on line, what I tend to do is not fuck around with a car to much, like the racing cars in GT5 they are perfect anyway all it will be is changing gearing and wing to suit a different track.
Road cars need more tweaking, but I don't normal do road car races, Race cars from Jap GT to proto type is the game I play.
each to there own!!!

One thing i have noticed is ride height and camber only visually change in races. in the garage the cars have pre determined ride height etc as it is a different game engine.

chop there does seem to be a lot more game modes on line, but I cannot see me playing tag or cat and mouse.
on GT5 you have normal race or shuffle that's it.
but there are so many things you can change in each thing, making sure you only can race say FF with power points of 300.
Power points are great, its a score of what the car can do not power...
so you could get a road car give it racing everything, but it will still be a road car, so if I used a race car on the same event, I could only join with far less power to keep the power points at the same level. so the road car would pull away on the straights, but the much extra down force of the race car would make the difference in the corners.

JohnnyB dont get me wrong, i like gt5 but its not finished!
The guys who make forza have done a better job with forza 4 compared to polyphony who spent 5000000years making gt5... which still has a shitload of bugs, the car tuning is pretty shit, the car selection is shit (mainly japshit, still no porsche etc), and the whole thing about standard and premium cars is so bloody annoying!
why cant they just do what forza do and make every car properly, instead of copying cars from gt4 into it and in actual fact on the comparison vids, some cars look even WORSE. Polyphony have been fucking lazy in designing gt5. The actual driving itself is great, but the rest of the detail is lacking compared to forza which has taken fuck all time to make compared to gt5 so im wondering what the fuck polyphony have been doing for 5 years....
They need to sort gt5 out properly, make it a properly good game. Either that or forza will be number 1, it was mighty close to beating gt5 with forza 3 ffs

It depends on power to weight, tyre compound, aerodynamics etc.
GT5 added "pp" in an update.
