I agree with #14, on the 2nd pic the guy driving with “over the car” view wont do as good from inside. In this hyper-realistic contest, only in-car view should be allowed.

Oh, and to clarify myself, I had to respond to Mattsta001′s little jibe about Forza surpassing GT as the definite racing sim of this generation when GT is clearly superior to FM in many regards IMHO, which is fact BTW.

LOL! Are you effin’ serious? You calling me a troll? Seriously? Now that’s a first. Apparently, you must a Lord Of The Rings fan if you’re quoting that crap. Give me a frickin’ break.

His feet are gnarled and cracked,
Manky fur adorns his back,
Saffron eyes to twist and roll.

Foul words escape his maw,
Insipid thoughts which barely thaw,
In short, folks, it is a troll.

@ #16 lxcainxl:

So you’re saying I’m a fanboy, eh? LMFAO. I respect Forza and what M$ and Turn 10 has done, but when you can say as a Racing Genre developer that the only thing you do better than GT is have a better overall car list and (maybe) a better track list, well, it speaks for itself, to quote you directly. Granted, I only played the first Forza, but you can immediately tell that the game was a Gran Turismo homage made by people who had previously worked on NFS games-which, from what I read, is the truth.

@ Mattsta001, who wrote: ” The Forza series has pretty much surpassed GT as the premier racing game…”

While there is a lot of racing to be had in GT5, it is lauded as a DRIVING SIMULATOR. IMO, the “feel” of Forza pretty much sux. To each his own I suppose. The learning curve for GT5 is horrendous. Big fan of Need for Speed Shift, at least as far as turn on your system, slap in the game and start racing online competitively. Haven’t found one single racing game that is a 10 out of 10. I agree that GT5 could and should be better, especially for a game that has been developed for so long, with a prequel release to appease those who not-so-patiently waited and released with so much hype. I understand marketing needs to create a buzz, but often too much hype can’t live up to reality!

ATTN MODS:
Why is it my postings get held up as ‘awaiting for moderation’ … and yet people post things that, well, just read for yourself:

@ #12 Mattsta001: F*** you and F*** Off, man. Yes, GT5 was a disappointment, but not as big a disappointment as you (and some just like you who love Forza and hate GT) make it out to be. Go back to playing Froza, you Xbot Microwhore.”

Give me a break, guys. :)

The guy closest to the camera in the second shot should be eliminated for using the cheaty-slow everything down-girly assistance-third-person view ;)
