I just got it back from SR after having to send a faulty wheel/game pack back, and, it's brilliant. Before I sent it back I had only played the Arcade mode but now I have had a little go on the GT mode, and even after only finishing 6.3% of the game, I'm hooked, so you wont see me about here much for a little while.

right okay.

too clear this up.

i done a test today.

In my Corsa, I decided to take a sharp turn on a roundabout in third gear with my foot down on the acceleletor. And guess what, the wheels span. But i kept it in control...just. I was only doing between 20-30mph. Just thought i would clear that up anyway.

The only way I can see the GT series going one stage better is by having realtime damage. Look what it done for the codies touring car game?

Ok it was pretty hard, but this is one of the reasons that made the game such a success.

So come Mr manufacturer, it'll only take just one to say, OK damage our cars, then I think the rest will follow suit.

Cars do slide like that, you're not pushing your real car hard enough. Buy a viper and trackday it sometime.

I'll definately come with yers!

Ah well, I don't know what you are basing your experience of GT3 not being "right" on, but I drive, and it feels fairly sound and realistic to me.

yeah they did it very well in GT3 and the beetle's are forward wheel drive and they react differently but it's still not perfect, maybe the Japan version has it right because it's faster i dunno but it doesn't stop it from being an excellent game.

MSR was basically the same wasn't it??

Anyway, the cornering on a mini and a fast car, say the Viper on GT3 is far diferent. The cornering all depends on what wheel drive the car is, how powerful the engine is, and how fast you enter the corner. I found it very realistic. No matter how good your tires are, if you enter a corner too fast, you are going to have understeer.

yeah i'm pretty sure too but even with the little mini, beetles and them yazi cars i think they're called that go about 20mph, they have the same system. How do you think fast cars stick to the road, strong gripping tyres that grip!!!


The way you turn a corner is GT3 is to slow down, brake and accelerate a the same time but it's just too sensitive on the friction, MSR did it better although GT3 is still a damn fine game.
