I was Sony/GT fan until GT4 which got awfully repetitive. Defected to MS/FM. First bought 360 and played backwards compatible FM1 that was remarkably refreshing compared to GT at the time. Once I got hooked on the online racing, there was no turning back. I still remember one of the first online race on Nordschleiffe in personally painted 1993 JACCS Civic Honda EG6. By FM7 (with the clown race suit) the handling/feel of the cars I felt were lagging behind others (Assetto Corsa, especially).

GTS looked extremely enticing so got a PS4 on sale in 2017. In terms of presentation and celebration of automotive culture, I think GTS is clearly ahead. FM, IMO, has become a little exploitative of the culture.

I am hoping FM lose a bit of Horizon's flare and get back to core motorsport simulation/competition.
