That's simply not true, and your crack about 'the wrong kind of console' hints at an agenda.
Or maybe hints at banter with friends? However what I said is true, I played Forza and was thoroughly whelmed. The driving side of things just seemed a bit wrong after GT - the cars almost felt like they were floating.

But no, you're right, Forza is God's gift to driving games. The issue is clearly with me.

Or we could all be looking for different things....

You want all cars to understeer?

I agree with you bodhi, forza drives/feels like an arcade game, as have the previous versions before it..Forza cars are floaty with tendency to understeer.

not fair to compare the two

Jumped back on after a Skyrim/Spintires hiatus. Currently in a love/hate relationship with the Ascari seasonal, though I managed Silver in the Rocket last night. Love the track, hate the way I'm driving after 3 months away.

Settled on the Rocket, as the XBow just wasn't working out for me.

You're right, most of the cars on GT do understeer.

If you don't drive them properly.....

Seriously, the game physics is way behind Forza. Just terrible.

Not worth reading past the word "rumour" IMO. They could put TT in the feature list on the back of the fking DVD box and it still wouldn't mean it will be in the game.

This is probably a daft question, but having seen just how cheap PS3s are getting second-hand I'm seriously tempted to get one purely for Gran Turismo 6. Although looking at the last page of this I'm no longer sure whether GT6 is better than Forza 4 or not. Anyway, question: can you connect a PS3 to a VGA monitor? I know, it's old hat technology but if it works I'd have to seriously consider doing it.

I believe it can be done but it's not easy as I had the same thoughts as you and it took me a while to work out what to do, I just bought an hdmi TV in the end as they aren't expensive.

PS3's aren't expensive now though, I bought one a few months ago, played GT6 for a bit and have just sold it for £92 so think I have done quite well.

Yes, it's quite easy just have to buy the right hdmi to avi connector cable. I did this for a few years. Only bit to not foget is to set the sound settings correcly with separate speakers (or use headphone).

Forza 3 and 4 are far superior to GT6.
