Glad to see I'm not the only one who like "old" cars :D

As well as proper "old" tracks :P
we like the cars, just some of us don't like the game. :P

The game is fun, but it has serious issues.

The first, and by far the worst, is the handling. It's not with slower cars, but when you get up to hypercars and such, the perpetual understeer and inbalance of the cars is unbearable, and a worked tuned Porsche Carrera GT for instance is just a pain to drive.

Second, the AI is stupid. The difficulty level doesn't change their speed, it just makes them more annoying, they block way too much, hit you off constantly, and if you get together side by side with them, they drag you off with them like your in open wheel cars.

That's why I don't want that game...

Handling and A.I. agressiveness...

It's fun to play online with friends, and parts of the career are quite fun, but unless you've friends to play with, it's not worth it.

I don't have that much of an issue with the handling. I don't find it too different to PGRs handling. It's not quite as refined, but I don't mind it. I spent about 3 hours last night racing with a couple of mates and the AI, it's good fun, and that's all I care about.

In other news, Flashpoint is also very awesome.

The AI is really annoying though, it's like they were meant to constantly block you, I swear.

Yeah? Did I ever say this was a sim?

PGR had fantastic handling. That is a fact.

Shift 2's handling makes PGR's look like Forza/iRacing style handling. seriously.

Yes it does, the handling in Shift 2 has but one mode, imbalance. Most cars understeer a little, and then they can snap into oversteer at random points. It's controllable, and the AI is so dumb it's not too tough to win, but let me tell you, driving a works converted Carrera GT around a tight street circuit, at night is terrifying.

It's meant to be terrifying. The handling is fine. The cars don't understeer horribly. Or they don't for me, so maybe you're just driving them wrong. PGR was the best racing game that sits in between sim and arcade, but this is by no means bad. The only thing that makes it look weird is the way the driver moves the wheel, which gives the illusion of it being floaty and light. I drive from the bonnet and it is fine.

If I'm driving a supercar around a street track at night, I want it to feel terrifying.

Now the game refuses to let me win an invitational to drive an MP4-12C at the 'Ring. No matter how much I feather the throttle and let off early for corners, it always blows the engine on me, usually around the final straight, wtf.

get miles ahead, then by the final straight cruise to the line with just enough of a gap to spare! Seems strange that your engine would blow though, what do the ai cars do differently?

It's a Mclaren you could drive it o the moooon and it wouldn't find it a struggle, Shift 2 probably modeled the cars in Venus' atmosphere thats why the engine explodes they also probably used Plutos gravity hence the lack of ummm..... car on road like feeling.

Well no engine in the game has ever blown for me, which leads me to say:

YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.

I can't fault their track selection, if nothing else.

Bathurst, Monza, Silverstone, Spa, Donington, Brands Hatch, a ton more...If it was announced that Forza 4 had the exact same track list, I'd be ecstatic.
