GT is the best driving 'simulator' ever...nothing can touch it and that is why it's recognized around the world so much

for just for fun race game, NFS hot pursuit 2 + Burnout is better imo

Can I ask considering this thread is debating this very issue. What makes GT the best simulator?

You may think it's insignificant, but the most important part of making a realistic simulator is how many times you update the physics to your input. GT4 and GT5P have both had much less than FM1,2 and 3. FM2 for example had 360 hertz physics against GT5P 120 hertz physics. Hell even FM1 had 80 hertz. This makes a difference of feeling the roads bumps within 8 metres to not feeling them.

most important part to a physics engine is not how many times it updates itself, but rather how accurate the data is being manipulated during those updates. to that end, I think both series are shit, and as long as you are having fun, it shouldn't matter. want a real sim, stay on PC I say.
