Best Racing Games, Period

[R34_4_life]

I think Forza is good, Forza 2 will be great, but it still didn't make me want to stop playing GT4, I can't get enough of the Gran Turismo Games!! Forza looks too... well.... the tailights look too shiny to look real, okay GT4 is a bit pixelated but, in my opinion Forza tries too hard!

I don't know how many times I have to emphasize this...oh is this the first time?...anyway, this thread is not about Forza and GT4, it's about PC games. PC games cannot guarantee looking as good as console games yet but those game mentioned will probably NEVER feel like racing sims. What I mean is they don't have real factors like accurate tire temperature, pressures, aerodynamics in every millimeter of the game, in those games there's no blowing engines, no damage, is there fuel use where your laptimes and weight transfer gets better as you lose fuel? This thread is about RACING SIMS.

We need our own subforum!!! I just finished playing the GT HD demo on my friend's playstation 3 (with controller) and when you use soft slicks you can DRIFT...

So why on Earth you call the thread, Best racing games, period!! Not racing sims!!!! Besides, I play race games to have fun & do things I can't (legally) do on the road, if I want tyre temp, fuel usage etc I'll get in my car & go for a drive, not sit at my PC!!!!

(oh yeah, it probably isn't realistic, but GT4 has fuel depletion!!! As does the Formula One games!!)

PS I agree with GTHD demo, it sucks!!

The title isn't your guys favorite racing games either,it's about the world's best racing games, here's why they are not console games, because the developers make a fun AND EASY game for people to jump in and play. In sim racing, if you don't know how to drive something, you will without a doubt in my mind, will crash. It takes practice and tuning to do anything, and that is what real racing is all about. Now in my opinion, the best a game can be based on a theme is the closest it comes to that theme...wow did that come out of my mouth...simulation for the win!!!!

Not only can you drive better cars in PC games but you can setup them up as well, but compared to driving your car, think about the immersion factor of any game, immagine you're a pro race car driver in an important race that if you are an experienced sim racer, you can jump into and have fun, and all those things you can do to your car..almost everything you can do to race cars, actually probably ten times more then you think to race cars. The reason for that is because while driving is more important, driving the car, the car itself doesn't get stressed and overworked until it's at the limit 'hotlapping' so you tune the car, or your friends help you tune it to recieve more stress and even push it farther, faster.

I play these games because I can't do it in real life...yet...and some pros play it because they have in real life so they've mastered the cars.
