considering those great N64 games had a HUGE length of time between their releases, and the almost never ending releases on the PS1 at the time, the PS1 was definately the bette system to own.

 

You had to be part of that generation to realise how boring the N64 was to play inbetween the release of a great game and onother. it wasn't out of the ordinary to wait more than 6 months for another great N64 game. the ps1 had them coming thik and fast.

[QUOTE="ras1983"][QUOTE="LordoverFeind"][QUOTE="ras1983"][QUOTE="mazdero"]You can't drive an AWD car like an FR, unless its a Skyline GTR.LordoverFeind
Thankyou. i recently had the privelage of buying a R33 GT-R, and it is completely different to any racing game i have played. in GT4, the car understeered dreadfully, whereas my car will actually OVERSTEER violently like a FR (afterwhich the fronts will kick in and pull the car out of the slide). just like you stated. i don't find either forza or GT to be close to driving a real car in any way.



The skyline is basically a rwd car for the most part till you approach the limit then the awd will kick in. The reason the skyline understeers at the limit is it's very heavy and the front tires give out reducing the grip. Actually unless you take your car to a track and have decent car control gt4 and forza will seem like bs.

Actually the 4wd kicks in a lot sooner than people think. and no, the GT-R doesn't understeer as much as GT4 would have me believe. GT-R's are quite tail happy, by the time the 4wd kicks in, the car is already fairly sideways(since the rears step out so quickly), and well past the apex. its just a matter of keeping my right foot planted and pointing the front wheels in the direction i want the car to go. it will have to be a very long corner for the GT-R to start understeering (or a few laps).



Okay now I am confused the skyline gtr r33 uses the attesa system to defeat the conditions you described. The gtr r33 v-spec was equipped with the attesa-pro which is even harder to oversteer. Grip driving is the forte of the r33 and you would have to be way over the limit to get the tail out. So how is your r33 gtr "tail happy" ??

The only logical conclusion is your full of it or your gtr has the attesa disabled for drifting.

i think i know how my car handles buddy. take a look at this. its an article about a R32, which is far more tail happy than a R33. Just because you have raced a car in GT or Forza doesn't make you an expert on how the real car will handle: http://autospeed.drive.com.au/cms/A_107753/article.html

My cousins and myself spent countless hours playing goldeneye, wcw and mariokart.

but we also spent countless months playing Gran Turismo.  i think it was just a matter of consumers having to wait too long between great n64 releases.
