Well considering I drive a 94 FWD Caravan that is not really an option except when sliding on snow...which I have done before and feels completely different from GT. Ive only used the controller because I don't have anywhere to put a wheel. I just don't like the physics the cars feel like they have their physics based in the center of the car.
Now unless they completely changed the physics engine in GT5 Prologue from GT5 Prologue Demo then I am completely wrong. I was driving with all the aids turned off and this is what I felt when I was driving. This is of course my opinion and you can have yours too. But I feel that Forza feels like a better driving game with better handling yet worse graphics.
Its all a matter of opinion anyways.
Thank you for your honest answer (+rep). I understand different people have different preference and I completely respect your opinion. I have never driven in snow having lived in California for as long as I can remember, but driving a RWD car beyond tires' grip level, kicking the rear out on dry surface is definitely not a not a smooth transition. If you're not ready to catch the sudden loss of traction, you will be caught completely off guard which will most likely result in a spin.
Just like you said, cars don't lose control out of nowhere. You feel it before it happens though the steering wheel, through your seat, and how the car body/weight behaves. Under speed, these things happen fast, which is why people track their cars to improve they're driving skills so they know how to cope with these "kicks" as they push their cars closer to the limit.
What I have a problem with, is ahpadt's intention, which I will explain below:
Thanks.
BTW, I would love to make a video just to prove my point (comparing the traction in both games) but unfortunately I can't.
Driving a Murcielago LP640 in Forza2 is like driving most cars in GT5P - tons of grip, but 'till you got to a certain point, it's off (where have I heard this before?)...
I drove with all aids off in Professional mode (whatever that does).
I'm not sure if you realize how flawed your logic is, but you are
still basing your "experience" to FM2 and one-liner description you've heard from Top Gear. You think there's something wrong with how cars behave in GT5P because you are used to something different in FM2, without even considering if cars' behavior (that you swear by so religiously) in Froza is even accurate in the first place.
Furthermore, even after I pointed out the lack of evidence in your claim, you still refuse to tell us what version of Prologue you are playing and how are you are playing it. Lacking such (important) information and judging by your description of the game, I have every reason to believe you are playing the Demo with the controller (do you even have a PS3?). YES, there are number of differences between the Demo and the retail/PSN version and YES, there is a BIG difference between playing with a controller or a properly set-up steering wheel; it's no different to judging a book by its cover.
It is very obvious that you much prefer Froza Motorsport 2 and you don't particularly care about GT5 Prologue (which I have no problem with). What I don't understand is why you feel the need to come into a GT5P discussion thread and continue to bad mouth a game that you are not experienced/familar with nor do you care for.
