Just wanna add, I'm not knocking DFP. Its fine if you have it and play with it, just don't bash the DS2. Weather your using a DS2 or DFP, your still miles away from real life.

First off you need to unwad your panties...

Secondly you need to realize your buying a 50 dollar game, for a 150 dollar console. And your not going to get anywhere near real life by throwing in 110 more dollars.

I don't have to finance anything for you because I am not the one who is obsessed with realism. When I get GT4, I'm gonna invite a few friends over, were gonna snack on chips and drinks, and have fun. If you wanna sit there in your racing chair with your DFP, and rock back and forth pretening that your really driving a Ford GT or whatever your driving, then by all means go ahead. Just lock your door 👍

Ok, so you're a casual gamer, that's fine with me, i just gave you my reasons for wanting realisim and they are just as valid as having your friends over to goof around playing GT4, no need to get offensive, i don't think i offended you in any way, so cool it.
Listen, just because you like to play your games a certain way doesn't mean evryone should. See, the difference between you and i from what i can see; is that you're just a casual gamer, and will probably stop playing GT4 in a few weeks, on the other hand i'll play it for years, i'm a fan of cars, and enjoy driving a lot, and driving in GT4 (and other sims) is very fun to me and countless of other people,
the driving experience is very enjoyable in GT4, and if i can get a virutal drive around nurburgring for an unlimited ammount of time for 150 for a DFP, 150 for a console, and 50 bucks for a game i'll do it.
just listen to what you are saying, you're saying that it's a waste of money to get a DFP to play GT4, well, howbout you? you "wasted" 150 on a PS2, and plan on "wasting" 50 bucks on the game, whats your excuse?
Oh yeah, you don't need one, i don't need you to tell me how to spend my money either.

I know this. and i don't think anyone on his right mind would ever confuse GT4 with real life, if i want complete realisim i'll just hop into my car, and drive realisticly (as in, drive, not race.)

We're getting way off topic here, i never "bashed" the DS2, the DS2 is fine if you want to just play GT4 with out spending the time to master it, but you need to understand... the DS2 does provide a lesser experience, it's just tons more fun with the wheel, and challenging. but then, that's not for evryone.. that's why the DS2 and DFP both work with GT4.
and what i'm trying to get you to understand, is that the more real the game gets, the more fun it is for a LOT of people.

Well the added "I didn't think so" at the end of a few of your comments were rude. I've never heard anyone say that in real life and not sound sarcastic or rude.

I'm not a casual gamer, I played GT3 for nearly 8 months, and the only reason I quit playing it was because I heard GT4 was coming out soon (3 months ago).

No, I'm not a casual gamer. While I am new to the GT series (didn't play 1st or 2nd), I am not a casual gamer when it comes to racing games. I'll be playing GT4 until the PS3 is released and GT5 comes out.

Please point out to me where I used the word waste? Don't put words in my mouth. 👍
 
SaintKamus took "wrong" lap times of specific car and compared with GT4 and started thinking that GT4 isn't real. But in fact, its BM lap times with M3 at Tsukuba aren't so real. (e.g. maximum).

M3 CSL goes 1 lap at nurburgring about 40sec faster than latest evo (evo 8 or evo 9). But in BM, its evo that goes 3 sec faster than M3. Now there could be many explanations like "new car, that is unfamiliar to those drivers" or "this car isn't japanese so....political reasons" etc etc. They were testing evos and imprezas all the time at tsukuba, they reached maximum and when we compare laptimes with these cars - everything is OK! (n3 tyres). When we take 20 other cars, smaller ones (s2000 and so on) everything is OK! So there is no point in sticking to only one car (for which we don't have enough RL info) and then shout that GT4 is wrong.

No, everything is fine, your comparison is wrong.
 
This thread is starting to get way out of hand. What everyone including me, needs to realise is that millions of people are going to get GT4 and all are looking and wanting something different. Some just want it as a casual play on the ps2 when real life is getting a little hecktick, and just want to chill. Others want it and take the name of the game literaly (realistic racing simulator) and wish to pay an extra £100 for the DFP to make it more realistic. I may not agree with this, as it is only a game, that extra money can be spent on more important things in life! PD have to make a balance between all these people, make it realistic but fun, from what i have seen they seem to have done that! At first this thread was interesting as i thought it would tell me which of all the tires realte best to real life, just for curiousity, but now it is in a sense getting a little nerdy and taking the game to seriously!

first of all, when did i say "GT4 is all wrong"? you're not even reading my posts i said SOME cars are all wrong, and you STILL THINK N3 tyres are the closer to real ones? god, you wouldn't belive your mom has having an affair if you saw it with your own eyes, i can beat best motoring time on nurburgring of 8'14.xxx (i did 8'10.xxx) with N2 tyres with the Evo VIII MR GSR, and you STILL think think this.. amazing.
And you're assuming all that crap based on what exactly? where's your proof?
what you're saying here, is that best motoring is somehow making the M3 look bad in ALL the tests they have ran, and then go on to say that because an Evo is faster in tsukuba, and slower in Nurburgring (when compared to M3) ... just goes to show that you know absolutley nothing of what you're talking about, you've had many chances to shut up, but you just keep going adding flames and uneducated guesses.
the F40 does 1'03.xxx on tsukuba.. about 1 second faster than an evo VIII MR GSR right? now... lets change the track, and lets go to a faster circuit such as suzuka circuit or Fuiji speedway.. all of a sudden the difference is no longer 1 second.. but a lot more.. wonder why this is? easy, it's a faster track, and the Ferrari can finally put those extra horse power to work, same goes for any other car that has more than 280 HP.. all of a sudden the Evo lacks power (along with evry other JDM car), the same thing applies to an M3 CSL, nuburgring is a VERY fast track compared to Tsukuba, the added weight of the M3 CSL is less of an issue here, and the M3 CSL can finally strech it's legs, so is it surprising that it would be faster than an Evo on this track? hell no, it's EXPECTED!
just run a test by yourself, just to see how full of crap you are.. just take a corvette C5 and take an NSX-R for a lap on nurburgring. (assuming you can even do consistent laps... which i doubt.) those two cars perform about the same when it comes to lap times.. but, you'll see intresting behaviours.
the NSX will take the lead early because of it's lighter weight, but on the first straight it will catchup, and even leave behind the NSX because of the added horsepower. (the straights are very long, specially when comparing them to Tsukuba.)
the Corvette will mantain that lead because the track has a fast pace.. that is. untill you get to the slow part of the track (the part with lots of "S" curves, that starts shortly after the karrusel.) and all of a sudden the corvette will start to lose ground, and get passed by the NSX-R, the vette will be left behind by quite a bit... untill you get to the last straight, then the corvette will catch up again, and they'll both finish at around the same time (like i mentioned before, i think the corvette performs better than it should, i can get around nurburgring on a C5 in around 8 mins avarage and could take it down at least 2-3 seconds more if i drive with out significant mistakes, the C6 gets around nurburgring in about 7'56.xxx)

this little test will show you.. once again, that you are full of it, and have no idea what you're talking about, Tsukuba is a very slow track, a Lotus Elise can run neck to neck with an M3 on Tsukuba... but try this on fuji speedway and the lotus Elise will get left behind on the first straight, and will never get close to the M3 again.

This just shows that you are in fact.. either too stupid, or a liar, or both... why i'm i calling you a liar? i can't concive that some one who has viewed 50+ Best Motoring DVD's didn't know that some cars perform a lot better on a fast track than they do on a slow track, this is one of the first things you notice after viewing a few different battles on different tracks.

i'm typing this not just to explain it to you, i don't care what you think, you're too arrogant to understand anything of what i said, but this will help other people undertsand the effects of power / weight ratio.
Also, in a slow speed circuit like tsukuba AWD brings huge advantages when coming out of a slow speed corner, but then, why would you even consider that? evrything has to be the way you think it should be, nevermind the facts that are publicly available. You didn't even take into account the fact that the difference is big because the track is so long and fast. (there are lonly like 3-4 low speed corners in the whole nurburgring track!)

--- Mods, this is getting out of hand, i'm sick of having to shut this guy up time and time again, this guy is just spaming the forum flaming, and pretty much missleading people with out any hard evidence of anything of what he says.

Ok, first off, notihng of what you mention has to do anything with the thread...
secondly, it's not YOUR money, and what you say it's contradictory, you're saying people shouldn't spend £100 on a steering wheel because they could use it for more important things in life... RIIIIGHT, as oposed to spending 150+50 to play a game? hey, dont do it, there's more important things in life than spending 200 bucks on a game! i think i made my point clear, this is enterteinment, you are NOT required to spend any money on any of this, you buy it because you enjoy it and want it, there's really no other reason behind it, so you wouldn't enjoy GT4 with a steering wheel, but because you won't be enjoying this, other people shouldn't either? riiight. it's up to them, we don't need advice on how to spend our money on our enterteinment.
 
First off it isnt my PS2 and secondly i am part X an old game so i will get GT4 for like £10. That means i have spent £10 on "entertainment" (called being sensible)while you with more interest in GT4 than real life has spent over £300! Oh dear! I think this thread can actualy stop now, as it seems to be the general opinion that N1 oe N2 are the closest to real life tyres! That is assuming that every other fariable in GT4 is accurate, e.g. track length, (to scale) if 300bhp in gt4 is realisticicaly the same as 300bhp IRL. etc! When you look in depth, it is quite impossible to get a game as realistic as Real life. they are getting closer, but it may be a long time till it is the case!

It isn't your PS2.. and you'll get GT4 for £10... good for you, if i could get a free PS2 and a GT4 for 10 bucks i would, and now. so, because i spend more money than you in this (and other things) i have more intrest in this than in real life... yeah ok buddy, maybe i'm just not broke ok? thanks.
