As many other players, I bought at the hype that surrounds Gran Turismo 5. I bought a Sony PS3 only for that game (even though I told the wife was for sampling above BluRay player), and patiently waited two years for the game be released. When GT5 was released, after a series of innumerable delays, players began to notice some flaws. The physical damage, Polyphany Digital insurance we would just like real life, not (at least not initially). The detailed images of the cabins and controls were limited to premium cars, which account for a fraction of the total cars available. Even the content seems a bit disjointed: trying to be everything for all fans of racing, Polyphany essentially disappointed fans of concentration, the fans of NASCAR and even TopGear. What is the sense of including the Top Gear test track, when you can only drive in "special" events?
At E3 this week, activate 10 had released the following video of claim for the next Forza Motorsport 4. If the video images are any indication, all hail the new King of driving games. The images are impressive, including grisly detail of the cockpit and engine bays. Turn 10 has scrapped the physics engine of Forza 3 and through a partnership with Pirelli, now perhaps the most realistic driving of any game experience in the market. Through Microsoft Kinect, a camera will follow the movement of the player: want to search for left? instead of pressing a button on the controller, simply seeks to left. Similar to driving a real car, only without the ridiculously high cost of gas and the paranoia involved with painting of trade. Watch the video to see what I mean.
I am not selling my PS3 yet, and I can not afford me an X-Box 360 unless they sell a real car or duplicated parts of the body. You can go see the release of Forza 4 (set for October 11) with some interest, and if it turns out to be as good as the hype, it may be time to start selling blood plasma. Do readers need a new kidney? Can I have it for sale?
