Best PC game?

What's the best GT4 style game for the PC?

Cheers

There isn't anything like GT4 on the PC, the closest you get is Need For Speed : Underground 2, but that requires you to bolt on tat and offers limited tweaking of the settings.

apart from the tweaking of settings, there are little similarities - you don't have to earn wonga to buy cars/ do them up etc.

You can't add stuff to the cars either (i.e. turbos and the like)

In short GT4 is an arcade game, GTR is a simulation.

Something like Toca Race driver 2 might fall somewhere in the middle - I loved it when I first got it, but got bored with it as it wasn't expandable...

not sure about being like gt4 but sports car gt is worth a mention, i know its old but its a cracking game.

Agree, an amazing game. Might be a bit difficult to find a lot of the addon stuff now though

But is it not a good pc racing game?

Need for speed Porsche 2000 , its a cracker

[docevi1]

but GT4 it is not.

The hook of the Gran Turismo series is completing races to earn money to upgrade your car, buy new cars etc. GTR is a simple case of "you get a race car, you change the settings and race on a limited number of circuits". You can't change your car to gain a competitive edge over others (bar setups).

As FWD said as well, it's a sim, not an arcade game - it's not for everyone.

Try live for speed, you can get a free demo version and the full game is only about £12, quite a lot of people playing it online, only downside is that you have to race hundreds of times before you can afford enough credits for the better cars. It's pretty realistic and not bad work for a small team of coders.

Cheers guys, what would be a good street racing game like Project Gotham?

[docevi1]

Need For Speed : Underground 2 has street racing.

Toca Race Driver2, GTR, et al are mostly tracks.
