Just to throw the Forza fans a bone, I'll have to say that the Forza 3 demo felt like F2. The game itself felt a little better. The F4 demo is supposed to be the E3 version from months ago, so I expect this one to feel like F3. Having said that, I don't expect much difference between Forza 3 and 4. If the "one button" drift kids couldn't do the same thing in Forza 4, I'm sure there would be a huge riot.
On that subject, plus, I have a few more points.
As to GT5, one thing I've been meaning to discuss is the matter of turning off ABS completely. A few posters mentioned that doing this made the physics of the cars more realistic, at least offline. I can attest that there's some difference, and cars will spin out much easier, and not just from wheel lockup. I was always afraid to try this because I just wanted to race, and it's so blasted easy to lock the wheels without ABS set to at least 1.
But I finally tried it Friday, had some spare time so I played with it. If you go into the Brake Balance menu and lower the settings to around 2 front and back - on front engined cars anyway - the feel is subtly different, and you have to be more careful how you tackle turns. Oh, and put Sports Soft tires on your race cars! It's added a thrill to the game which wasn't there before, and I spent well over a dozen hours just in Arcade Mode chasing bots down Laguna Seca, and having the time of my life.
If you guys can't enjoy GT5 in some form or fashion as it is now pre-2.0, I'm not sure what Kaz can do for you other than buying you a real life car.
I think it'd be weird without. I know many many people disagree, but without it, wouldn't there be an empty car during replays? Plus, I actually think it's a good thing and with being able to change suits so you can change glove/sleeve color, which is simply nice to have. Better than nothing.
I agree. Not all of them were, but the significant ones were really unexpected and added to the usability of certain things and replayablity, of course.Nobody knows what this update will include but I know it will be good (all the others have been)
Thing is, Spec II for Prologue came out only 3-4 months after the game was released. It's going to be 11 months by the time we get Spec 2.To be entirely honest, I don't think the Spec II patch will bring tons of cars and tracks, I tend to believe it will bring revamps on physics ( perhaps equalling online and offline models ), corrections on shadows, lighting, some improvements on resource usage to make the game run smoother, more events, a handful of standards converted to the premium treatment and a few more small features which were asked for ( in-race saves, rally events and so on ).
That said, the DLC packs may have the really good stuff, like new cars and tracks. At least, this is what I'm hoping for.
