just wanted to know if anyone would be able clarify this (im thinking about buying either forza 4 or gt5)

but ive been reading a lot of comparisons/ reviews where it seems foza is more of an arcade sim whereas gt5 is the closest thing to a racing sim we will get on consoles. Particular because of the physics engine. Can anyone who has played both games clarify?

The differences between F4 and GT5 are so small. F4 just gives you the option if you want to play more like arcade sim or pure sim.

 

Yeah. Forza can hold your hand if you want it to or you can turn everything off and it'll bite off your hand instead.

Physics are only part of the simulation for me. The audio and the visuals which are unmatched are also deciding factors on the total immersion.

I can't imagine what F4 would be like if you had a 7.1 sound system, 42"+ HDTV (or even better yet a 3 screen setup) and a top of the line steering wheel. God that would be so incredible!

After playing for a bit last night I remembered why I hate Amalfi Coast. I've also noticed I keep getting American muscle cars when I reach a new level.

I have the 50'' HDTV, a 1700 watt 7.2 surround sound........ I'm just missing the wheel.

I'm looking into getting a Fanatec Forza wheel at the moment!!

Well my luck ran out :(

Fanatec don't ship to Australia.

Any other recommendations for a good belt driven wheel??

I saw the Porsche wheel in 2 online-shops, (gamesmen and penta.com.au) but both want nearly 800$. What a ripp-of.
The next best to Fanatec ist the Microsoft-Wheel, perhaps the new Thrustmaster Ferrari F458 could be useful.
