If rain physics made things fun I would just drive while it's raining.

Anyway, I usually don't like pure racing games, which is why I'm unsure of Driveclub. I like the open world of games like NFS MW/Carbon. I'll try out Driveclub (getting part of it for free, so why not), but not sure if I'll actually buy it. Forza looks more interesting, but I'm also skeptical on what there'll be to do in the opne world. If it's just races, I'll pass. If it's like Burnout Paradise, I'm in.

I have been seeing a lot more of these "open world" racing games comments pop up of late. Personally I think its just a cop out. Or maybe its cause i prefer the traditional idea of a racing game and never really liked open world racers except burn out paradies, which when you think of it, once the racing started was not really open world anymore.

I am want to start a racing game, pick a race and race. Don't see the point in driving around to get to a race and driving around after the race. Its like open world racing games replaces the speed of  menu with having you drive from menu option to menu option. At least thats how i see it. Don't see what the technical benefit of a racing game being open world is.

Having said that, I think both games look good.

Well, everyone has different preferences. After playing the open-world NFS games (Most Wanted, Carbon) I realized just how much I loved the genre. Never got into closed racing games like Shift, Gran Turismo, or traditional Forza. We'll see though, Driveclub might end up blowing me away.
