Gran Turismo 5

Based on that video I'm wondering the same thing. I don't know if the guy was doing it on purpose but the steering wheel was shaking all over the place and it was obviously a nice smooth surface.

Go Karts are fucking bad ass though. What doesn't thins game have?

It was the force feedback on the G27 wheel

Its not an arcade game like Forza

After this I :didntread:

I didn't know people were this hardcore about sim racing...$500 for a custom made F1 replica wheel on your G27

They are all custom wired, but I believe they only work for certain games, like F1 2010 (PC only), and Ferrari Virtual Academy (PC)

PC only? Blehh

So I was just told that 500 on that wheel is nothing...the ECCI ffb wheel is 2699

I remember when I used to be in the retail computer part at this store I used to work at I became known as the flight sim guy because I was selling these crazy machines to guys that were playing microsoft flight simulator.

I'm talking $5000 to $6000 computers to play a freakin game! One of the dudes spent over $10,000 on this multi plane control thing which could be setup for whatever type of plane he was flying.

That is craziness...reminds me of this thing that costs like 13k

in forza, jms is probably one of the best gamers in our community. i know guys like helisan and casino are in another league when it comes to these games.

but to your comment, i hope you were kidding cause forza is not even close to an arcade game. That game is tough....too tough for me to seriously get into because the car physics are so accurate and makes cars hard to handle for the casual fan.

those screen shots u posted look amazing. Im sure this game will look stunning, but dont be fooled by screen shots that make it look better than it really is.

2 questions:

Will this have paint customization like Forza?

What are some good steering wheels to get for this shit? If I get this I will have to have a racing wheel.

I was just trolling. Its not an arcade game. True Sim? Debateable. Its a great game though.
