Why consoles will NEVER get a real racing sim like the PC does.

Play FM4, play GT5 in a full matchmaking room. Can you even get 10ft down the track without a big pile-up?

I swear the consolists have to be THE WORST drivers ever seen and what really stinks is that the devs like T10 Studios and polyphony digital will never correct it because then 3/4 of their userbase will go right back to need for speed.

I had that happen sometimes on GT5 but not enough where it killed the experience. I found most of the players on there to be older than players I would hear in other games

Why I realy don't care:

The only type of racing games I enjoy are Kart ones.

I don't even play those games. hell I hardly play racing games at all aside from the occasional game of Mario Kart.

F-Zero X (N64) and F-Zero GX (GameCube) are more fun than any PC racing sim anyway.;)

But by all means play what you enjoy... I am not sure why you would care if consoles get a "real" racing sim or not.

It could be because I own both consoles as well as my PC...

Consoles are getting Project Cars. your thread is invalid

I wonder why I hardly have that problem when I play Forza, PGR, or Grid? I guess y 360 works different than yours.WarOf1993

pwaahahaha re you stupid? look at the past 20 years we went from 8-bit to stereoscopic 3D 1080p. in 20 years consoles will be powerful enough to do realistic racing sims no doubt. NEVER? man, people can just be so ignorant at times.

You really have no clue what makes a game a sim. RPGs can be immersive, that doesn't make them "simulations". Sims are about realistic recreation of the life activity they're emulating, with special attention to detail.

And while I can't comment on iRacing, Forza totally trumps GT in that regard.

learn a lesson from someone who knows.

grand prix legends. heralded as one of the most realistic racing simulations of its time.

my father, was the 1990 formula ford champion for auckland in a field of some ~20 drivers who qualified for the championship.

we would set up lans sometimes and race (with others too) every race, if you were winning, you had to watch for my father punting you off. he just didn't care. eventually, others realised too that sabotaging others is a legitamate strategy to win the race in a computer simulation.

it is not about bad driving. it is about the fact that you are in a racing simulation with no consequences.

it is like the difference between playing poker with no money, and playing poker with a $20 buy in.

personally, i would like to see multiplayer racing games do away with collission because of exactly that. in colin mcrae rally one, the multiplayer cars would superimpose over one another without colliding. so all racers are essentially performing a time trial against live 'ghosts'. less fun? maybe. More fair? definitely.

If they actually were "good" threads (or in some cases made by users of level 10) they wouldn't be locked ;)
Still its nice that my participation is appreciated :cool:

because sims are kind of boring and too time consuming? And that's comin from a guy who played lots of gtr2 games like dirt3 are perfect blendJigglyWiggly_

Somtimes Sims can go too far from gaming. Which is why they aren't popular on consoles. Personally, I'd rather play Forza with my mates, than spend a few hours driving around a track where every little mistake can cost you dearly.

Simulators have never been my choice of game though and that includes people, racing, flying, train driving or farming....but road sweeping, now that's a different matter :P

ITT: raging hermit thinks if it doesn't require a wheel and tons of hours put into it (both, driving as well as fine tuning) it cannot be a good racing game...

GT and Forza are a great blend of arcade and sim, something most PC racers lack.

You didn't have a good sim/arcade racer since NFS5 (the TD:U games are just decent), hence you're jelly why the consoles do have them...

(or you're not but you're dumb anyway. To each his own, be it arcade or sim or a blend of the two)
