not much on car design i've seen which seems forza's big on. GT's never even had a paint shop in previous games.

neither have weather effects. GT5 should be more complete since it's pushed back after forza 3 was released. They should have plenty of time to put what forza offered in the game. I find it ironic how we didn't even hear about forza 3 untill GT5 was supposedly almost out.

i heard FM3's physics are too slipery making drifting stupid easy.

not saying thats bad, but its gonna suck that enthusiasts of FM3 are gonna think its realistic, and flame everybody.

Are you sure?
I've heard there's one in GT4, but it can only be unlocked by cheating with an Gameshark.

with that much of a lack of accesibility i dont think it should really be counted as "there"

I'm not sure, I know the data was about 3 months ago, most people have already been hearing about it probably before E3, I just found the information.
Many people have other things to say, but i think this could be the most legit.

I think you are right.
Weather effects (hello Kaido) aren't in either game, and I've played both demos.

It might just improve.

Currently at $100 saved up for the (used) PS3.
I need about $400 since I will be getting two contollers and the backwards compatible used one.

Don't go on GameFAQs, there is so much flaming going on in the GT5 boards about this people are getting banned left and right.

one thing that sucks about forza. there cockpit view doesnt even have 900 degree steering.

guess it doesnt matter in 3rd person or bumper view. no fun of seeing cool hand over hand drifts

Same
no backwards compatable

txrdriftking · **Posted:** Wed Nov 18, 2009 3:32 pm

The real reason I want the backwards compatible version is because the hard drive's memory is bigger, which from prior experience, is something I need.
BTW It's the 60g version.

but that means you have to get a memory card adapter to transfer all your data then.

What's the point if you already have a ps2?

txrdriftking · **Posted:** Wed Nov 18, 2009 7:02 pm

Reliability concerns.
The PS2 I'm using has a few problems:
Mainly it's won't read memory cards made by someone other that Sony, which ruins 3 of my cards, and that the 2nd controller slot doesn't work.
Most of this was caused because it dropped down the stairs

(not my doing BTW)
