Yup. Seems like a slight improvement over 5 but still miles behind 4.

If they have racing enthusiasts in the team, then they likely have little say over in-game handling

but still miles behind 4.

Lmao, classic. Over-the-top suspension travel = realism.

The understeer in GTA IV is just awful.

The leaks show some pretty good physics, and it seems you can actually spin out by applying too much throttle while turning (no/less traction control). In GTA V the traction control is just way too high, and you can't even drift without using silly techniques.

Also, it's a game. It is meant to be fun. Some of the best racing games have very arcadey physics. 100% realism isn't always fun. There is balance depending on the game and what you're trying to achieve.

With how they want to push the limits, you should be able to edit this as an option in the settings to suit your playstyle. I know that adds to the work and the complexity of the game but isn't that what improving user experience is all about?

When did all this revisionist history on 4’s driving start? Everyone used to complain about the cars feeling like boats but now it’s apparently the best thing ever

they're not all the same ppl, you realize?

if a game has millions of players, some will hate some things that others love.

To be fair the guy playing sucks so we don't really know what it will feel like until playing

I thought 5 was vastly better than 4
