Of the games available for PS3, which would you consider the most realistic simulation, or at least most valuable for learning lines?

the only sim on PS3 is NASCAR 09 so you have to wait for GT5
Nfs: Shift sadly is the closest you will get to a sim and it's 1/2 an arcade racer. grid is more sim but you can only drive the cars they give you and there is no tuning, same with dirt 2.

Any of the GranTurismo series, hands down.

you need a ps2 to play them, can't play ps2 games on a ps3 unless you bot the $600 lunch version in the first 6 months of release.Quote:

IMHO Forza, looking forward to #3
For PS3, check out Formula 1 Championship Edition.
Psssssst. Forza is only on xBox... :rolleyes:Quote:

I like them all. It's hard to beat the GT series, and like everyone, I'm waiting (impatiently) for the full version of GT5 to come out. There are a ton of real tracks -- including the famous Nurburgring -- and the driving dynamics seem pretty good.
- GranTurismo 4
- GranTurismo 5 Prologue
- Need For Speed: Shift
The NFS series has been mostly arcade games up to this latest version, NFS:Shift, which is surprisingly more of a true simulator. The nice thing about NFS:Shift is the damage modeling. Crash your car, and you "feel" it, and you even see things like cracked windshields and buckled front hoods. The interface is a little arcade-like, with all kinds of splashy graphics and noises, but once you get into the car, the dynamics seem good. And you can customize the heck out of your cars -- both mechanically and visually (in the GT series, all you can do is pick from a few different paint colors) -- so that can be mildly entertaining.
So if I was only buying one, which would it be? Because of the damage modeling, and the fact that I can drive a Porsche Cayman and a Porsche GT3RS in NFS:Shift, I'd probably get that one. But I'd also put money aside to buy GT5 when it finally comes out (I expect that sometime in 2015 or so... ::Censor::).
Cool. Thanks. I'll have to check out the Indy games. I picked-up GT5 Prologue at a pawns shop for $20!
The Indy Car game I have is the worst game (not just the worst driving game) that I own. Avoid it. Or better yet, buy mine. ;)Quote:
