GT5 is arcade if you try any of these titles: iRacing, GTR, GTR2, rFactor, Race 07, GTR Evolution, Live for Speed, Netkar Pro, Richard Burns Rally, Grand Prix Legends or GT Legends.

Hey, Richard Burns rally is available on consoles, right? Well, there it is, the only sim on consoles that I can think of.:woot: If you like rallying try to find it in a bargain bin somewhere, its easily the best rally game ever. None of the Colin McRae titles comes close.

[rant]I dont hate consoles themselves, I dislike the games made for consoles. In particular when nice games like Race 07 have to be raped (IMO) to be launched on one. Its like 99% of todays Hollywood movies, the makers assume the audience dont have the time or the interest in learning something, it must be easily accessible, with a very flat learning curve, instant action, more about effects and presentation than depth, and in the end gives me nothing back. [/rant]

My brother had a PS3, sold it 2 months afterwards .... enough said
He sticks to the PS2 he has, more fun to have on that one.

complaints:

Games - Overpriced they cost 30€ more then the PC variant
Perfomance - Not impressed, it wasn'ts stable and sometimes it was showing trouble keeping up with the games demand..for its overhyped processing capability I could get similar games running on max better on my PC then the PS3.
PS2 compability - his PS3 model didnt had that option...may I ask why the hell did sony put out so many models?! it just makes no SENSE!

in my opinion..PS3 is a overhyped flop.
the PS2 back in the days was good, and it still is for its game library.

a Console is a good choice if you like Action/Adventure/RPG's/race games.
but Sims? they belong on the PC.

RPGs come in different forms, some fit consoles and some do not.

It all depends on the game. Look at oblivion/fallout/half life2 etc. Which are great on the consoles and the PC. Sure you have games that are very flat, but you still have some great games out there on the consoles.

As for simulations needing more keys than a console has, a keyboard still works with a PS3, its just no one codes their games to recognize the keyboard. And you can easily reach the same number of keys on a keyboard if you had certain keys bring pop up menus, or alter the way the keys work. Example: Silent Hunter on the PS3, X could be periscope depth, D-pad could control the height of the periscopes, you could use the analog sticks and click stuff, and if you press R2 the speed menu pops up allowing you too choose which speed you want. etc.

Oblivion sucks, i is jus something shiny with very little actual content. Fallout 3 simply does not compare to 1 or 2, is pretty much oblivion with guns, though at least it has some conent compared to that earlyer sack of shait. And playing any shooter without a mouse is like dentisry through the anus.

Ppppt... Guitar Hero.
THIS is Guitar Hero for MY generation (and much more fun in my opinion because you can take it anywhere)
