Forza has also had better driving dynamics. GT5 is better then previous versions, but theyre still late to the game.

The V8s sound like V8s too

if by better you mean more arcade-like, sure.

I agree on the sound tho, that's something GT was always lacking at. They have done better with GT5 (especially certain cars) but still need work. Finally fixed the gawd awful tire sounds.

talking about handling and feel. btw, the ultimate realism is on a PC, not console.

and, plenty of arcade games have damage modeling and have had it since the 80's, so not sure where you are going with that.

to the body, some... to the engine/handling... errrr

careless wall smacking and car bashing are nobody's idea of realism.

and we arent discussing differences between console and PC.. just two console games...

again, I'm talking about handling and feel - two things much more important to me than damage modeling. because what am I doing for the majority of the race? that's right - DRIVING.

oh for real, I didnt know thats how it was in Forza. So if Im in the middle of race in Forza and I slam into a wall, I'm done? Race is over? That is pretty realistic I admit.

It's also an option to decrease damage or turn off miz:wink:

The damage is also progressive, if you disable the car in one hit, you're either trying to or you're just terrible

While that is realistic, that just ruins the fun of the GAME if I wanted realism I would play a simulator on the pc or he'll take my car out for a drive!

Rewind sounds great! Didn't do so hot one lap, just rewind and do it again so you can have a perfect race.

Except that it does show up in the race results, so if you use rewind and get a fast lap followed by one slightly slower, yet clean lap, the slower time would be considered your fastest.

I believe there is a way you can turn off that feature as well. Or you can just not use it. I dont.

Has the guy who is complaining about GT5 vs FM3 not played FM3?

I have both...GT5 sucks, period. I really wanted it to be fun, but it's not.

The only thing I hate is not being able to tint the windows since this design is locked.

We already know how awesome it is. You dont need to confirm our beliefs

Seriously though, I got GT5 the day it came out and it just isnt addicting. Theres nothing there that makes me say I need to play the game.

One major gripe I have with GT5 is all the cars arent unlocked in arcade mode. If they were, Id want to unlock them in career mode so I can mod them.

By modding them you mean by doing cool things like adding decals, body kits, and brake upgrades right?
OH WAIT...
