Physics aside forza has something pcars will never have.
Fun factor.
Fun factor.
I reckon fun factor is probably one of the most subjective traits around
Of course there is no steering rack in my wheel, that's just stupid. However, the rotational forces that are felt in a real car steering wheel can be simulated in my toy wheel but not my toy gamepad. I didn't claim the physics where more realistic because I play with a wheel. I was saying that judging the physics with a wheel was better than trying to judge them with a gamepad.
And you're right, I'm completely blinkered because I have negative things to say about Forza. Check my posting history and see all the positive things I have to say about it. There really is only one group of people in this discussion who have the blinkers on, those who can't accept any criticism of 'their' game
Fair enough that's your opinion and the one that matters most for you
Yes mate. Luckily my Fanatec wheel works on all three systems (PC, PS4 and XBone). I've been that impressed with PCars that I decided to buy it on all three systems as I didn't want to miss out on any of the comps that the various different groups I game with were running! Pretty sad to be honest but gaming turns me back into a kid!
Idk. I don't play PCars a ton, but when I do, I end up losing 3-5 hours just lost listening to the sounds & doing hot laps. The selling point was allowing me to use my G25 wheel/shifter again.

Have to agree about hotlapping in Forza. I'd hate to think how many hours I spent chasing that tenth of a second to get ahead of a team mate!

However, with a pad I'd agree with you. With a wheel there is no contest to me and that's when the PCars physics come to life, as you would expect.
At the end of the day it all opinions
I thought you were done with the discussion? It is not even close and there is no contest in my opinion. And by the way you're not some sort of guardian for Forza whose job it is to 'call out' those of us with differing opinions to you. If you don't agree with somebody else's opinion counter what they are saying with your own well thought out arguments. That's what debate is all about. You do know where the word forum originates?
I thought Darin was simply happy to be playing the new game but now you've put a different spin on it I can't look at those videos in the same way again.Anyone looking for footage of COTA can find it in the ISRTV 2-hour video posted above. It's about 2/3 of the way in if I remember correctly. I think Darin is in love with his new co-host
As far as the controller vs wheel debate, I've played every Forza with a controller, switching to a wheel about 5 months after FM5 was released. The controller simply does not translate as much information as a wheel. A controller vibrating at just beyond the peak of traction vs. losing resistance in a wheel are completely different experiences. On a wheel, the first thing that happens is you're going to briefly turn the wheel further into the turn (you're physically pushing the wheel in this direction). On a controller, the only resistance you're fighting against is the spring in the analog stick which has zero bearing on what the tires are actually doing.
Won't argue there. The hot lapping in FM5 is a ton of fun, and the simplicity of getting in & go is much more appealing. As said, it's the ability to use my G25 again where I still really like PCars. If I was up for buying a wheel set for the One, it'd probably be the end of PCars for a while, but I have no desire to do so when the Forza series is still fun as it is with a controller for me.
