Forza never had the "emmersion" value o f even GT3 or 4.

Thsi si where Gt5 will blow Forza2 outof the water - because if the "immersion" nature of GT5 in its demo form (which is really not GT5, but rather Gt4HD) then FM2 has a long way to go

Just completed doign a session of GTHD with the G25...

And the sheer pleasure of feeding proper steering inputs into and receiving proper steering feedback from the game is something that silly M$ wheel will never give.

Not to mention the 1080p visuals, the solid wheel models, the dynamic environement - even without damage, the experience is exilirating.

Thats what FM1 and FM2 will probably lack - charisma
Sounds to me like your baseing immersion on a steering wheel and resolution. If you can get past the terrible sound effects, lack of customization and online modes then more power to ya. GTHD is fun and very pretty dont get me wrong, but its the same game we've had for years. Forza 2 will sell more because its a more in depth, different experience and lets face it. Far more people own an Xbox 360
hence why his arguments are always about 1080p and the G25 wheel. It seems the way the arguments are that a game could be like Need For Speed and arcade-like, but because it would support 1080p and the G25, it would be GOD!

IMO there isnt a big enough difference between 1080p and 720p to argue about it. There is however, a HUGE price difference. My brother has a 720p DLP TV, and I'll tell you what, the XBOX 360 looks AWESOME on that TV, so not having 1080p dosnt bother me.

Whatever, to each his own, nothing out of my day :bah:
