There is more to being realistic than graphics.

GT5 is considered realistic because it does a good job of modelizing how cars behave and that's usually not what more arcade games do.

Indeed, but sadly GT5 was judged on mostly everything else other than it's main purpose. Need for Speed games have never felt more realistic than GT and I don't imagine Shift 2 being much different.


One example :

Going full on the throttle on a FR car while the car is in the middle of a curve is badly modelized on most driving games ( because it's not 'fun' to be more realistic like GT is ..)

Heck go play with Nascar or Formula one cars in GT5 at low speed and then compare how those behave in other games...



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Need For Speed.... realistic?

Don't really care if its realistic...as long as it supports 3 screen surround resolution on PC and is fun like the first one.

Forza 3 and NFS Shift were the reson why I got back in to racing games last year as both merged fun arcade style in and out gameplay and authentic racing feel.
