Thanks for the response, and that YouTube is nuts. There were a couple of times I had to double-check that I was looking at the game version or the real one.SolidSnakex said:GT5's cockpit view isn't as active as Shift. The camera will shift forward when you brake hard or pull back a little when you hit the gas, but it's not as violent as Shift. As far as the sense of speed goes, it all depends on the car you're driving. When you go into the GT Life mode (the replacement for the GT Mode) you're going to have to start from the bottom with slower cars. Shift automatically throws you into some somewhat high end cars so you get a nice sense of speed right off the bat. You'll have to work you way up with GT. But once you do you'll end up with cars that give you a very nice sense of speed. For example

The cockpit view there also looked very workable, so that's a check on my list. But the sense of speed? Its hard to tell from that video. All I know is that Forza feels incredibly slow to me, even with the faster cars. Driving at 120mph in Forza 3 feels like driving 60mph in NFS.
So for now I get most of my playtime in NFS, but I'd really like to play with more fidelity to the driving physics and more realism to the make and model of the cars in terms of performance.
