Message: [QUOTE="Tenacious D, post: 6018505, member: 63189"] I just spent some time fussing with "that other game," specifically Forza 3, doing a race. I have to do some homework in it before I get around to playing Forza 4 to be sure I get all the goodies ported over that I want. And I didn't like it. The MS Wheel is crap. I'm reminded why Playstation is such an excellent line of consoles, which let you plug in whatever the heck you want, and what we can plug in are stellar wheels made by great companies, USB drives for saving data, replays and pics, etc. Forza is just... strange, really strange. Any PC sim, any Gran Turismo... any number of games I could list, I can get into the car and drive off fairly comfortably and feel like I know what I'm doing. Even Ferrari Challenge, which feels very much like Forza, is laid out and even has elements [I]ported directly in from Forza[/I], has a leg up on Playstation by having the Logitech wheel available. Toca, which has terrible wheel support, still feels lucid and comprehensible in the early to middle power ranges. Not Forza. For some reason, this game folds its arms at you and demands you give it what it wants before your car runs around the track the way [I]you[/I] want. Communication from car and tires is terrible. I barely feel like I'm in a car at all. It's a very numb, disconnected feeling. Replays look flat and fake after Prologue and GT5, as if I'm watching some Pixar film version of the race I just did. In fact, the race looks the same way. Engine sounds... yeah, loud and roaring. So? I may have made a big mistake buying Forza 4. I really needed this exposure to refresh my memory and give me contrast to what I have in GT5. The best console racing experience by far, as good as my PC sims, to me. The feel is remarkably similar to my sims. The car list piddles all over any PC racer's list. The variety is unmatched. You can call me a fanboy or whatever you want, it's irrelevant to me, in the face of my own experience with literally dozens of games. This game is darn good. [/QUOTE]
