They boast that there are 1000+ cars but they still utilise PS2 upscaled cars which is pretty shoddy. GT5 only had 200 cars that were actually modelled and built with PS3 tech.

That said I will still probably buy GT6 to drive Willow Springs and Good Wood.
ya i hate the steering, its really ridiculous. i have a wheel and it doesn't make it any better. i was playing gt3 the other day and the physics were so much better then what it is now. the whole premium car standard car is just pure dumb

Neither do I, but I'd rather drive around the block once than sit in front of some game.

Good for you.

I'd like to play the game and drive my car IRL.

That being said, even in the rain track driving my FRS is the most fun I've had behind the wheel in a while.

Over $600 in my existing Fanatec wheel, clubsport pedals and stand have been rendered useless by Micosoft's new proprietary controller scheme. I will not be playing Forza 5 nor buying Xbone. It IS compatible with PS4 even though it was created for Xbox... hope GT6 is a win.

Gt 6 is confirmed as ps3 only, so if that's the only game you want, go get a ps3 (wicked cheap with the ps4 launch approaching).

I'm getting a ps4 & keeping my ps3. And hopefully going from my logitech g27 to a fanatec setup soon.

I have been on the fence about a Fanatec/Clubsport setup for ages. It always gets bumped lower on the priority list by other things. Maybe once the new games come out, the older stuff will get cheap enough that I finally make the leap. Does it still work for X360 and older versions of Forza?

Oh yes... the setup is absolutely brilliant with Forza 3 and 4, the Formula 1 games, and Dirt, etc. I still absolutely love it. I'm just steamed at Microsoft's lack of support going forward for these setups which many enthusiasts own. It's also PC compatible which has made me consider doing a more serious PC sim rig.

You won't have to worry about that anymore. The Ring isn't in Forza 5

Agreed on the physics - Forza > Gran Turismo.
