There is always one!

I somewhat agree. I'd love a good forcefeedback wheel, but I'm not gonna deprive myself of a great game because I have to use a gamepad.
Well - my though is that there are so MANY sorta-decent games - why not have a slightly higher criteria to use to make the final choice...

This would be something that might force me to buy a Xbox. I like the realism of my GT3 but don't care for over 50% of the cars offered. There is too much bias toward Japanese cars with endless variants of Skylines and Evos and the like. Sure they are nice cars but who needs 10 of them...

The PGR2 has an interesting mix of cars and looks like Forza does too...

I alsolike the fact that they have Nurburgring circuit...

Enzo vs Carrera GT vs SLR vs Mclaren F1(apparently is in) at the Ring in likely the most accurate racing sim on a console to date.

Sounds good to me.

It will probably look better then GT4 but with the sheer number of cars in GT4 plus online play theres realy no contest is there? GT4 all the way!
As for other hot games at E3 what about Juiced from Activision that looks damn hot as well! A nice mix of NFS Underground and GT4

Forza is going to be fully online, and considering the way Xbox live is setup it will probably be a better experience if the gameplay was identical.

Also the sheer number of cars is not that great an advantage. I do enjoy a lot of cars, but you could drop GT4 from 500cars to 250 cars(keep in mind that would be made up of mainly civics, eco cars and the odd 100hp concept) and if I could just get a few Ferraris I would be happy.

I do realize there is a difference between evos from different years and that is good, but in this case there is going to be a tradeoff, and in the end I'm going to get more out of Ferraris, Porsches, and others including the Koenigsegg and Mclaren F1(road version).

Yes Forza is going to be a great console game, specially it having more exotics than any other racing game yet. But only time will say whether it lives up against the Mighty GT4 or not?
I personally don't have Xbox/GC. I play games on a highend - PC and a PS2..
So please tell me if a game is so worth, that causes u to buy the console. Coz after watching trailers of Resident Evil / Zelda / Metal Gear Solid : Twin Snakes, I was almost ready to buy a GC, but will change my mind if Forza turns out a GT4 beater..

I'm all into sim games. Right now ToCA Race Driver2 is what I have been playing a lot of. Finally, a game developer using real auto engineers to design a game. Nice to know that this game has real-life consequences if you drive too hard. Brakes fade, tires wear, damage;etc. Will even up the playing field online. It sucks to play Project Gotham2 online and some 13 year old kid walks by you in an Enzo that more than likely doesn't drive like that in the real world.

The game does look promising, better not have shallow gameplay and short. It was cool when I saw it via LIVE coverage from E3. I also liked he XNA demo they showed with the Saleens on a head on collision.
