*crickets*

Man, I had so hoped this guy was the real deal - but I fear may be just another Interwebs pretender

Wait....I thought he was saying that even though the game developers artificially increase the amount of grip in the game, players still complain that the cars (in the game,) are still too slippery? Right?

If so, then that's correct. On the Forza 2 boards that's one of the most frequent complaints from noobz. NOOOOOOBZ!!!!!


But wait...aren't you banned from that board RC? Troublemaker.

I mean...I know what you're saying, RC. But I was just trying to clarify what he was saying.

I hear what he's saying as well

And the slippery nature of "stock" tyres modelled i say Forza is about correct.

With my car at 120mph I can spin up the stock tyres just by double clutching.

But what I am saying is that real-world increase in grip to DOT slicks is not as apparent in the game...

With a 660bhp C5 Z in game with Kuhmo DOT slicks, you better pay attention as you apply the throttle in a straight line or you die.. in the real world you can actually be viciously brutal in a straight line and all you do is go forward at an insane rate of knots

Yeah I see what you're saying, RC. I don't have any track time, unless you count dodging cones in an auxiliary parking lot at the airport

I was just seeing what was up because I feel like the game gets a bit too slip-happy as well.

Then again, since I bought Assassin's Creed and CoD 4 I haven't really been playing Forza

I must say though, today it elt like I was driving my car in Forza2 - stock tyres, 50 degree cold air, 45 degree cold roads - 2500rpm in first and the tail was stepping out like I was a Japanese Drift Pro yanking the emergemcy brake

Blip the throttle while at freeway speeds in 4th gear and the tyres spin up like I was in a cheesy video game with an analog controller
