"Shift beats Forza 3 to AutoSimSport’s Best Simulator 2009 Award"

http://www.slightlymadstudios.com/2009/12/shift-be...

I had to turn off Shift the other day because it was so annoying... what is annoying me more is that if i could use my G25 on Forza 3 it would be bloody wonderful..

"...and support for community mods helped push Shift into first place"

Not that shocking a result tbh.On the pc at least, it runs better than forza, looks better and already has mods to make it handle in a far more realistic manner etc.That's the downside to consoles I guess.Take nazi zombies on the 360, we loved it, but then realised that instead of buying an addon map every 6 months, we could go and grab well over a hundred for the PC and all for free.

The graphics on Shift are definitely better, but when I played it the handling was a bit crap. No game is going to be realistic to driving the real thing though.

wtf? Why didn't rfactor win? It's by far the best sim available at the moment.

Was this a public vote or a panel decision?
Either way if they preffered Shift then why is that mad? I haven't played Shift but I owned Forza 3 and I hated it, so I can understand people not liking it.

For me..Shift graphics are good, just a tad behind FM3.
Sound is better than FM3.
Handling is quirky but livable after heavy tweaking.
Surely EA`s clout in the industry may have coloured any awards that came it`s way, what with the masses flocking to turn 10`s masterpiece.

I think it still looks good, get the HDR mod if you have a powerful PC. smile

It's smells like hairy nut sacks to me..

As a sim, Rfactor is better, Iracing is much better, GTR EVO is better, Forza is better..

Are they basing this on the fact someone at home with thick glasses, curly hair and possibly ginger made the handeling slightly better on the PC version.... Why not give the poor kid with a skin condition the fecking award!!

Either that or sexual favours...
