Is it right to include GT5: Prologue? Forza Horizon still feels like Forza, and although affects like going off road, or sideswiping other cars have no negative effect on the game, has this ever stopped GT5 from being a Sim? Forza Horizon is still Forza, and it's still a sim.

Did you played Forza Horizon? There is nothing about Forza into it... and no, it's not a sim (but I think you don't know what a sim racing game is).

Yea, don't start this again, everything that they did to Forza Horizon, to make it feel like an Arcade game, are exactly what hurt GT5 as a SIM. You can't say that sliding against walls, not being slowed down for going off road ruin the SIM experience of this game because GT5 is notorious for this. I have won countless races in GT5 just by pinballing myself off another opponent in a hairpin corner.

I own Forza Horizon, and a lot of aspects are altered to give the game more of an arcade feel, but the core gameplay still feels right, cars handle like they should. The Viper is a demon in a straight live, but understeers in corners, where a BMW M3 sticks so damn well. Compared to any Free Roaming racer, this game is like asim.

I know it's not the same as Forza Motorsport or Gran Turismo, but it still feels right, Forza Horizon is nothing at all like NFS: Most Wanted or Test Drive Unlimited, and really not that far off from GT and Forza Motorsport.
