Poll: What Type Of Simulator Has Come The Furthest In Gaming?

what's the most realistic type of sim out there? which has come the furthest in 40 years of gaming?

I would say flight sims are the most realistic, driving sims are the most popular.

I think that Flight simulator X is the most realistic game i played.

Can't decide between driving or flight. All the other ones not even close.

TBH I don't think flight sims have come very far from games like Jane's F/A-18 except in terms of graphics.

I love how dating/life sims is in there. That got my vote just for ****s and giggle.

Flight Simulator is the only correct answer.

I think flight sims thanks to Falcon 4.0

Garbage Truck Sims

Racing Sims are definantly the most popular,I think that flight sims are themosst realistic though, but I have never played one.

How about Fork Lift Simulator?

I think driving simulators!

Flight Simulators.

iRacing is the same for racing sims, but it's one lonely game in it's genre that displays this level of realism.

No it's not. DCS' A10 is the new king of flight (combat) sims:

We trained in my country's armywith Steel Beasts Pro, so I would say it is the most realistic game I've played. Not a big sim fan, though.

Live For Speed has the best physics imo.

i wish my computer could run that :cry:

Train simulators... they're the most realistic IMO because well, you just have to hop on-board and contemplate the landscapes lol

The first thing that came to my mind was flight simulator. Then I thought GT5 and FM are sims right? so I'll say Driving. Either that or, well, Sims 3. lol

I can't tell the difference between Forza 3 and real life, so I'm going with driving simulators.

Play NBA live 98, pay NBA 2k11, and the difference in realism is absoulutely massive, especially if you adjust the sliders so every basket isn't in the paint, lol.

Id say driving Sims like Gran Turismo. Sure there is no damage, but the sheer amount of cars and meticulous detail given to each individual handling is excellent. I would say flight simulator except for Falcon 4.0. It released in 1998 and is still considered as accurate as you can get for fighter sims. I dont see how flight sims can be discussed as coming along much further after that game.-ArchAngeL-777-

Driving sims more than anything have come the furthest, both in profitability and realism. It's easier to simulate something that can only be controlled along two dimensions (mostly) as opposed to something on 3 dimensions. I prefer flight sims though.

Flight sims are far more complex imo.

Not really. Arma II is just OFP on steroids. It's still the best military sim though.

magnax1

I'm not sure about other sports like Madden that seems the same.

Fifa has changed over the years aswell and got better.

I'm only going be EA Sports games.

And second...ARMA II had to be playable, that's why all the vehicles in it are very simplified.

Yes, but I said driving sims have come the furthest in terms of actually simulating their specific niche.PC_Otter

Good points, I think like that too. There'll never be a "perfect" military sim anyway. Real war is totally different to what we play in games.

I say flight sims. I have x-plane 9.62 (mypc can barely handle it on its lowest settings [withaircrafts that came with the sim, itpractically dies when Itry to use downloaded content])and plan on getting x-plane 10 whenever it launches.
