is there an equivalent to the logitech 900 deg force feedback wheel on the ps2? that's really what made GT3 so cool IMO.

The 360, unlike the original XBox, supports FF, and the MS wheel is supposed to be awesome.
 
Some cars that really stand out to me (and I know most of you guys won't give a damn about 'em)
98 Eagle Talon Tsi ( I have a 95 Tsi AWD )
Looks like it's just the FWD but they also have on the list a
95 Mitsu Eclipse GSX (GSX = AWD)
So that's cool.

Kinda neat to see the Dodge Stealth on the list.

2000 Honda Prelude,.... good choice.

The 1994 Nissan Fairlady Z gets a big :thumbsup: from me. That will be hella fun to upgrade and swing around the track.

98 Toyota Supra is another car you should be able to reach 1000+ HP with.

04 Volvo S60 R, very nice clean looking car.


The one car I'm unhappy with not seeing is the Chrysler 300 SRT8.
Maybe later on as a download?

Overall very happy with the list, and I now I need to pre order.

 
I hated the first Forza (not as much as the entire PGR series, but that isn't the subject here). I don't see Forza 2 being any different.

But every other car you have on there is decent. I'm just happy that they have my car again and if the rumors are true about swappable drivetrains, that will be extra awesome!!!
 
Looks cool.. I love the HDR effect, but spare me the bloom.

Either way, it still has nothing on GTR2
Nothing beats playing GTR2 on a fully decked setup. Feel the rumble of Saleen S7's 7.0L Twin Turbo engine quickly turn to a whine when it's revved to 7000RPM. The sound of it revving as you're heel-toe downshifting.

Who needs Grand Turismo or a Ps3 for that matter 😛

Now only if there was a FF killer or something.

what is needed now, is a better wheel than that MS "wireless racing wheel"

support for the Logitech g25 will do nicely MS 😀

Just watching the replays and viewing the telemetry data showed me Forza had a lot more going for it, not to mention the reviews that said as such (What was it 4x the physics calculations of GT3?). Throw in the damage modeling, and more cars, it was a no-brainer IMO.

it's not about the number of cars that a game has, or whatever number crunching data the game developer claims, or having ferrari, or having custom paint scheme...

i think a driving game is ALL about the physics, the feel of it... forza was aimed at GT4, and GT4 just feels so right that i don't care about anything else... i just want to drive my M5 around the nurbergring and feel the oversteer...

yeah forza had nice graphics and lots of car customisation and good online, but to me it never felt right, it felt sluggish and their version of the Nordshlief absolutely sucked. GT4's nurburgring/nordschlief was a better representation....narrow, bumpy. in forza it felt much wider and much smoother.

also Gt4 for me, was great, i liked the responsiveness on the controls, and i actually liked and could make good use of the pressure sensitive buttons
 
vauxhall VX220 turbo *creams*

now that is a car, the car the lotus elise should of been..... trust vauxhall to take a good chassis, then wedge a nuclear power plant in the engine bay! 2.2 liter turbo....weighs about the same as a tea bag, handles like a dream....get in

AND OMFG.... porsche 959!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a machine that was.

ferrari 512 TR!

wow, got to applaud the guys making this all the obvious choices are in, but they have garnished it with some absolute gems!
 
I wish they'd have more cars like the Accord and Camry.

Sometimes, I just want to drive at a comfortable pace and not offend anybody.

LOL. Yeah, I want to rice those babies out. Drop the '07 Camry and put stickers all over it. Then when I loose control and slide into ditch...people will know I'm serious because of the stickers.

Well GT4 is arcade garbage in the same league with PGR compared to Forza or Forza 2..
as close to driving a real car as you can get on any system.

Sorry but Gt4 isnt even in the same class..
no damage.. crappy arcade feeling physics...no car modding no car painting.. no engine swaps no nothing but eye candy.. and if you ask me its not even that pretty..

I actually have GTR2. Im sure I would like it if I had a racing wheel, and would love it if I had a wheel like this.

I didnt get much into it when I gave up. It just wasnt any fun with the arrow keys. Do you think it would be worth it to get a racing wheel? Like one in the ~$80 range?

Yep, the one thing the 360 has going against it. That logitech with 900 degree turn is just too awesome.
