Hi, I Bought Forza Motorsports yesterday and it is on hell of a video
game. It is the best game that i have ever played. I bought it last
night.
It has the best version of Road Atlanta I've seen in a video game. The
only downside is the steering wheel issue. This game is begging for a
high quality wheel, and I don't want to spend $150 on a wheel that does
not support true force feedback and will be obsolete in 9 months.
The best part of this game... It has AI. Do you hear that Polyphony?
That's AI. The computer cars actually acknowledge your presence on the
road. Novel concept I know, but maybe something you'll find room for
in GT5. I think Polyphony has been promising AI in the GT series for
as long as the West Brothers have promised to deliver, well, anything
at all.

I LOVE this track in this game. Really shows off the AI too ... you
can use real racing techniques like over-braking on the long downhill
straight, letting the AI pass you on the inside going in hot, then
nick past them in the chicane and out-accelerate them. Nice.

That, and the damage model really add up to a racing sim (where GT4 is
only a driving sim ... got nothing to do with *racing.*)
Furthermore, the Forza driving physics are better. Much better. You
really have to think about braking, and carefully work the analog
brake/gas. This is easily the closest thing to a PC-quality driving
sim ever to hit the console market ... with gameplay that, as you
point out, is way better than anything Polyphony's ever done. Very
impressive piece of work.

I heard that some virtual competition is taking place alongside the
24h race this weekend, apparently using GT4 as Sony is some kind of
sponsor. I wonder how they'll simulate a 24h race if GT4 doesn't
support "racing"?
cheers, uwe

I believe GT4 supports local-area network play. So with a collection
of human drivers, and a good force-feedback wheel setup, you could
have a great race ecperience there.
