Agreed, I will buy a license soon, and thank you to the Devs for giving us so much free stuff in the demo..

I still miss the xrt.

Quote from XCNuse :

Porsche, you have to understand that PCs have caught up with PS3 within.. actually, Apple has been ahead of the PS3 for over a year when it was introduced. Other companies are catching up as we speak.

The PS3 introduced a multi core gaming processor, 3 processors to be exact, which is often split upon graphics, physics, whatever else.

You can buy Dual quad cores these days, PCs are dramatically faster these days, just not at the same price.

Not to mention, Dell makes a WoW LAPTOP yes, LAPTOP, with a full size 5.3" hard drive, a PhysX card, and dual SLi nVidia cards.

So much for 3 cores, and a nice graphics card.

You are thinking of xbox 360 bro.... that was the 3 core

Sony's PS3 cell processor is in a league of its own, its at supercomputer territory...

By the way Gran Turismo's Physics get updated for each release and because of the power of ps3 the physics will be the most realistic than any sim.. yes ANY sim PC or Console alike

Quote from h3adbang3r :

You mean YOUR pc can't touch the power of a PS3. The GT series has been terrible in terms of physics since 2, enjoy your eye candy at twice the price of LFS.

Oh so you have a cell processor in your pc?

News flash... 10-times faster than current PC chips

Quote from XCNuse :

The new cheapest line PS3, the $400 will be worth it. Future of it, Blu Ray, etc.

GT5 will not be worth it, it is the EXACT same in every aspect to GT4, except different cars.

Not true at all. It's completely reworked and in 1080p....

Not to mention the newly added interior car views.

It's going to be groundbreakingly different.

Hahaha I know its much much more... but graphics wise and the cell processor power of ps3 and the physics will be the most realistic sim yet. Bar none.

PC cant even touch the raw processing power of PS3

Ok off topic this isnt a GT5 vs LFS thread but I still really miss the XRT

Quote from Test Driver :

If you look at the cars available in S2, the XRT didn't really make sense in the demo anymore. Now with patch Y the demo has the slowest FWD, the slowest RWD and the slowest single seater to try out. imo this was the right decision , because the demo now shows more what LFS is capable of.

Good point, but what's wrong with the second slowest rwd...

Quote from The General Lee :

LFS is waaaay better that GT5

In some aspects GT5 is better than LFS. No wait. GT5 will pwn LFS.

and I like LFS very much.

I'll buy a license eventually however I have more important things to spend money on...

Like PS3 and GT5

"Years and Years" I've only been playing for about 3 months now.

ROFL hahahahahahhahaahahahhahaha

breathe.

Yeah the FBM is nice but I loved drifting in the game more than gripping.

In the demo it would be wise to display the drifting aspect as well as the gripping aspect.

And able cars that show it off the best

Hint: XRT and FBM

Yeah it's a "Demo" and the s2 appeal is not because of the XRT.

It's because of the 17 other cars and other tracks!!

Come on...

XRT should have stayed.

BRING BACK THE XRT!!!

Ok so the new Y update is cool and everything, the new bmw formula car is nice... fast... However

The XRT needs to come back. Why would you remove that car instead of removing the other two cars that NO ONE uses, or rarely uses?!?!

Hint: GTI or XRG

Who would do something so cruel for us broke drifters that can't buy a license...

Lets face it folks the XRG is horrible at drifting... If you looked at the ratio from x10 as to who uses the XRG compared to XRT the results would be shocking.

IMO the XRG should have never existed.

Same reason that Gran Turismo owns all on consoles. It's the physics that does it for me. That and the ability to change every little part of your car's setup that is important.

Drifting is my thing and LFS is the only racing sim that allows you to do it right. It feels the closest to the real thing.

I'm selling the Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback Pro Joystick oldie but a goody, you could use it as a shifter i guess...

Does anyone else have this wheel? IMO the G25 is a rip off. Way too expensive for what you get compared to this.

Quote from mrodgers :

Name is porschedrifter, and all you show in that vid is BMWs. Except for the last half, which was a POS Chevy pickup truck with a light-as-a-feather rear end with a big high powered V8 doing donuts. I could do that in my extremely undergeared and underpowered 4 cylinder Toyota Tacoma

And your point is?

Name is Porschedrifter because I used to own and drift a 1984 Porsche 944, until I sold it.

It was a BMW car show called Bimmerfest and Bav Auto's Show and shine.

The driver of that truck was on the team that built/released the worlds fastest drag 350z at Sema the following year.

and honestly, if someone was doing the same in a 4 cylinder toyota tacoma, I wouldnt be getting that on video.

Most of the buttons work so far however the LT and RT axis' don't and I need them to work as Brake and Throttle since it is more accurate, all the other buttons are pointless for them.
