Best Racing Sim of all time?

[Ex-User (19928)]

PGR3 was wack, PGR4 on the other hand. Brilliant, the sound used to make the hairs on my neck stand up, gunning it across the bridges in NY in a Ferrari F50GT.

Wheelspin in every gear with the apollo in the wet!

Shelby gt500 just sat there!

I can't speak for the PC ones (although Live for speed was amazing imo) but Forza 2 is superb and probably the best at the moment. I used to love PGR3 then got forza 2 then bought PGR4 and traded it almost straight away. Very good graphics and amazing sounds but when you can brake midbend at 140 and still make it round it destroyed it for me. Bits on FM2 like when you are braking slightly as you turn into a bend and can 'feel' the back end coming round makes it for me...bring on FM3!

Forza doesnt rate that highly for me.

setting up a car is painfully slow.
it looks good. but isnt a true sim in my opinion

Those two lines seem to contradict :S If it was quick/easy surely that would point towards more of an arcade game?

Nascar Racing 2003, the last Papyrus sim masterpiece before EA raped another sport.

Still the best netcode of any game I have played too, 43 cars bumper to bumper in an american server with barely any lag.

Forza 2, it owns everything.

what i mean is when i want to change a setting such as the ride hight. i have to wait till the setup loads do the change and then wait for 30 secs for it all to reload.

most other games are a lot faster!

Have you tried it on testdrive m8? Pause the game, tune then change then unpause...10secs all in and you can try it out on the track straight away

^^^ - great clip. Aside from the lack of traffic on the practice lap, it shows GTR2 at its best, imo.

GT4 was pretty realistic to me...........

Forza feels arcadey..... and Grid! wow!, that game is shocking, taking a hairpin at about 110 MPH and coming out the other side FTL!

That put me off GRID completely. The first race I had on the demo, I won by a country mile. Like you say, the physics were out of the window and the cars behaved just so unnaturally.

The drifting bit was quite good, imo.

Stunt Car Racer was awesome back in the day. What about Daytona? That game must have made Sega millions and millions.

Today nothing touches Forza 2, especially when you're armed with the wheel and racing online at 3am.

I've just had a look at some new Forza 3 videos on gametrailers and it looks absolutely gorgeous.

Roll on October, the best racing sim is nearly here...

GTR2
GPL
GP4 (in that order)

racing GPL online was the most fun though, I remember coming out of the last corner of zandvoort wheel to wheel allllll the way down the last straight to win a race by less than a whisker!

 

[superbenji88]

used to love playing TOCA 2.

The only race sims are GTR, GTR2, GTR Evo and LFS

All the others are just games

Race07 with my Logitech G25 Racing Wheel is the best I've tried.
