i wish forza did something for me, but it just doesn't.
looks pretty great graphically though.
I'm starting to get that way too. I'll still buy it for sure, like a crazed Madden or CoD player, cuz its tradition. But I'm honestly almost more excited to see/play the Need for Speed game. Those crazy arcade racers with fast paced music and bright flashing things are more my speed nowadays.
i really REALLY hope somehow a new burnout is made for next gen. burnout paradise was one of my favorite games of the current gen, as was burnout revenge. nfs is getting tired now too though, they are so rehashed. i was a fan of forza horizon though, but i never did finish it.
yeah it is the first FPS in years that has me intrigued because it is actually different.
well i shouldn't say the first, im going through far cry 3 right now and it's incredible. if they have a far cry 4 on next gen i'm getting it day 1.
I didn't get I to far cry 3 much...granted I play a ton of fps games and found it lacking compared to some others I have played. Both in story and gameplay. It wasn't a bad game to be honest, it just got repetitive to me.
I loved the burnout games. Lots of fun challenges to complete.
Am I nuts for wanting to get this primarily for Forza? That's pretty much my only motivation for wanting one right now.
If you get the value out of it, why not?
If you even play for 100hrs, that's $5.60/hr. About the cost of going to the movies... 50 times lol.

You mean 56 cents an hour. Vidya games are cheap!

Need for Speed Most Wanted, the one that recently came out is made by the same people. It was pretty fun.
yeah, but need for speed most wanted was also a 360 launch title. no clue why they remade a 360 launch title ... on the 360. that alone turned me off of it. but there was a previous nfs that was made by the ex-burnout guys that was also fun. i forget which one it was name wise, since they now churn out nfs games like it's madden.
They were different games no?
They reuse the name way too often.
I used to love racing games when I was younger but as it is now, I drive way too much everyday so I am not all that interested in coming home and doing more.
that is probably part of the reason i dont like sim games anymore, they are too "real" and i'd rather the racing games where i can go 200mph and it feels fast as shit!
I like the racing sim games because I can upgrade the components. Forza allows engine swaps, superchargers, etc.

This is pretty much how I feel. I prefer to get down with upgrades and tunings to see what is the best. Nowhere am I going to be able to change gear timings on a Ferrari and then abuse it on a track in real life.
People who like sims are people who dream about doing that thing in real life. If I had an unlimited amount of time (and money, for that matter), I'd be racing cars.one of my big gripes about sim racers is they never have a good sense of speed. i like to play 3rd person view, and it just never seems like you're going that fast in sims. and when you finally get up to the top speed, you hit a hairpin turn, have to slow to like 20mph to go around it, then speed back up. and usually by the time you are going like 90-100 it still doesn't feel fast, but in reality that is fast as shit! you're just not at top speed with fast cars a lot in the sim racers. plus a lot of sims feel like just grinding and grinding. just not what i enjoy in a racer.
i'm not into tuning cars and stuff so i couldn't care less about that stuff. i prefer racers where you never let your finger off the gas trigger and can hit 90 degree turns by pulling the handbrake to get around it. it's just more fun to me. i wanna be at top speed 90% of the time, not 10% of the time.

Unlike you, unrealistic racing games do nothing for me. Except Burnout. Those games had some sort of magic to them.
Race, yes; actually work on, not one bit.People who like sims are people who dream about doing that thing in real life. If I had an unlimited amount of time (and money, for that matter), I'd be racing cars.
