(I finally played the kart racing specials today, and man are they fun!)


Barely? -________-

 

But yeah, I'll agree with most peeps here: GT5.

Sure there's a shitload of things in the game that'll frustrate you but it's still awesome. Not buying it because you don't have a wheel is silly. The game will definitely keep you busy and Kaz still plans on updating the game for "months to come".

Two other racers I really liked are Grid and NFS:Shift.

One thing that I really love about Shift is the sense of speed - the game is definitely intense. Part of it is thanks to the awesome engine sounds.

GT5 easily for me.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit is awesome stuff as well! Split/Second also has it's share of being a fun racing game but NFS HP is wayy better.

Driving a car above 200mph shouldn't be easy, and to do a perfect lap can be reaaaaaaaly hard, if you drive in real life you now how hard is to do the things you try in GT5, and it's "so life like"...

But newcomers will love the Assists, altought for the Challenges you will have to turn them down as is impossible to beat those times with assists (they make the car slower and harder to drift, because prevent whell spin and sliding).

With time and patience you'll honey your skills and maybe like it.

I know that driving a car at 200mph shouldn't be easy. I'm well aware. I haven't raced any of the super cars in GT5, and I'm not saying GT5 isn't doing a good job of simulating the real world. However, driving my crap honda 100mph I shold be able to break it down to 40 or so and make a corner without too much trouble since I can in real life. Nor was I arguing that I should be able to make a perfect lap. However, I should be able to make a decent lap, but it takes me forever to get it down in GT5. I think my biggest problem with the most realistic racing sims is that I don't feel the car. Without feeling the car I have no sense of speed and from there everything goes downhill.


Yes this can be a problem and need some adjustment... but the great problem is if you don't have a Logitech GT25 or 27 (must save my money to them =[) driving with controler can be hard, you have less control and feeling... but if you train hard you can get the feeling about doing a good turn or not... this is how you shave 10 seconds of a lap, it's really troublesome...

But drive a real car with a controller would be really hard also... probably Kaz think everybody should buy a wheel for his game...

@parasitic: the strange part about people saying about the "feeling the speed"... how many here have ever drived a car above 200 mph to know exactly how it's? Because even in F-1 races, when the cockpit can is on I don't feel as extremaly fast... it's all about looking close enough or far away.... most sense of speed in game are fabricated, unreal and just to please arcadey and aesthetic taste...
