It's over. Gran Turismo is finished.

This is the second review I've read that has said nothing but the best about one of the most anticipated racing games of the year. I remember back when I picked up Forza 2, my friends laughed at me and said that I was a "fag" for liking it! The nerve... They were all too busy with their Project Gotham Racing.

Well fuck them, and fuck you Sony fanboys. Polyphony Digital simply won't be able to beat Turn 10 this time. I feel like I'm punishing myself for not going out and buying this when it's released later this October; I'm gonna try to force myself to wait until Christmas so I don't have to spend money on it.

Any other hardcore racers on SP? Mario Kart is allowed.

I once got a 10.55 second lap record for Wario Stadium, Mario Kart 64. This is seriuz buzness yo!

//yes really. My racing days are over though.

My friend is in the top 10 rankings in the whole world in Mario Kart. Seriously.

Woo, mario kart.

That actually looks pretty beast - I'll be sure to pick it up when I get my 360.

I've beaten Diddy Kong racing...

Twice.

Does F-Zero count?

[COLOR="Red"]I read the title and thought they actually finished Gran Turismo 5. LOLJOKES.

Forza 2 was amazing enough, I remember mulling around Forza's forums back in the day around Forza 1 and 2, I used to be pals with Che and Dan. *sigh*...

Forza 3 would kick the shit out of GT5 even if it did manage to get out of it's...six? Seven? Year development.

Finally something I agree with Greg on. *Print Screen* [/COLOR]

Does F-Zero count?

Oh man, the staff ghosts were INSANELY hard to beat!

Best game, or bestest racing game

I have Forza 2, but only because it came free with the 360. Well, actually, it cost me like -20$ since it was cheaper to get the box that came with it than to get a no-game box. Go figure.

That said, I played it once for like 3 hours and never touched it again. I find racing games to be rather bland when they're more simulator than arcade.

Ok, I tested Forza3 on my xbox... results:

Graphics: 10+ (No really, best graphics on 360 so far)
Sound: 9
Controls: 3-

OMFG THIS GAME TOTALLY SUX BALLS, just one word:

[SIZE="4"]UNDERSTEER[/SIZE]

FFS, YOU CAN'T MAKE A NORMAL TURN WITH 80KMPH?!?!? ITS A FRICKIN SPORTS CAR DAMMIT, NOT A CHEAPASS ICECREAM VAN!!!!

ALSO, WHY THE FOCK DOES MY STEERING TOTALLY JAM (?!?!?) WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES 30% AND I HAVE ABS ON!!! THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN FFS!!!!

DID THOSE PEOPLE EVER RIDE IN A SPORTSCAR BEFORE?!?!?... -.-

Anyway... Race Driver GRID is -WAY- better, controls are so much... more controllable...

P.S. Hopefully it was just the demo... maybe the full game has an option to set the steering ratio to more then 5%... :o

Mario Kart 64 is the only racing game I ever played... never interested me much. Oh wait, my bad. I have the first Gran Turismo game, actually.. lol! <<;

Ah... This reminds me, they have to release a new F-Zero.

The Game Cube one was gorgeous. Then again, I couldn't compare to other 3D ones...


Oh also, the story on story mode on that one sucked big time. Hardly made any sense.

[COLOR="Red"]What the hell are you talking about? o.o It depends on the kind of car you're driving. If you're in a rear-wheel drive car, use the accelerator to get rid of understeer. If you mash on the gas in a FWD car, of course you're going to understeer. Any grip that's being used to accelerate can't be used for turning.

Of course your car sucks at the beginning of the game. That's the point of a sim.

Silly Paul. [/COLOR]

It was a frickin' Porsche!

Hmmm or was it... it was the Sportscar from the demo... I really thought it had RWD... I must be mistaken then... :o

P.S. Maybe I'm a bit spoiled IRL with our RWD BMW on the freeway... xD
