[PS3] Gran Turismo 5

[BigBucs]

Damn. Not a deal breaker but having the Forza customization would have put it over the top. I dont have a 360 so I never got to fuck with it but seeing what people were doing was crazy. As for a 300 dollar wheel....fuck that. Shit aint that serious especially considering that I wont be playing it a whole bunch.

i never understood the love for the wheels. you have to have a great setup to make the wheel feel comfortable...u cant just set it up on a table and expect it to feel right. then there is the pedals to setup too. shit ends up moving around and what not

Yes damage is includeed but i heard that not every car will have the ability to be damaged for some reason.

So far I have yet to see a racing game with the damage system that codemasters has on GRID, Dirt 1 and 2. Their damage affects were awesome!

I really look forward to this game and I am definitely getting it at launch.....I just hope it is fun.

All cars have damage, but only the premium models have interior damage. I also do not care about damage, but tons of people wanted it for whatever reason.

The time trial competition they put out earlier this year on the new game code was a blast, but hard as hell with professional physics on. You couldn't just floor it after every turn/shift or you'd be in the grass.


I think we could have some epic go kart races. 30 minute laps on the nurburgring :bow:

At least we'd have time to appreciate the fact that Polyphony took the time to update all of the graffiti that is on the track :smug:

edit: It appears that we *may* be able to do a rally stage type league, whereas the game will randomly generate rally courses point to point, and we can each do a stage (with audible codriver) for time like in real life

No you don't! GTPlanet has a huge thread on cheap DIY wheelstand setups...my favorite so far is the kids lawn chair+fisher price table :laugh:

There are tons and tons of different things people have come up with that look great imo

I never brought one but I figure no matter the set up having a wheel beats using a controller. With a wheel I imagine it feels like you have a lot more control over the car. If I can find a decent one for no more than 100 Ill get one.

Do they make wheels that work for both 360 and PS3?

The only two wheels that I can find that will work for both systems. I just did a quick search so there might be more than this.

Agree with this 100%.
And I can't imagine having a wheel in the middle of my livingroom.
Admittedly, everyone who knows me knows I'm a damn geek, do I need physical proof in the middle of the livingroom?

Sure! Some people (gamers) go all out... Racing boots, gloves, helmet, suit etc etc. Can't see how that shit makes you a better driver when it comes to a videogame.

Racing wheel does add to the fun factor and adds a lot of realism for me.

 

[BigBucs]

Really, whats not to understand about wanting a wheel for a racing game? Dont be a doofus.

 

[Jagsfan61]

dooo-fuss

 

[Maynard]

i just dont see the point to spending $300 on a wheel. and then creating some custom cock pit so i can use it with any form of comfort. I would rather just use the sticks because they provide you with the same result

More range and control of motion with a wheel...

Those Fanatec's are kickass, the brake pedal vibrates when you lock up the wheels Just a little too much price wise for me.

edit: nvm, the ones that do that aren't compatible with 360

It has been proven on GTPlanet that people with wheels are in a different class of racing times than people on DS3's. They are almost a full second faster on the time trial charts. You have a lot more finesse around turns, and you can pull chicanes a lot smoother, etc.

If you are really bored this guy has a huge writeup on his experiences going from DS3 to G25

I had a wheel back when I played GT2.... :shifty:

I thought it was pretty neat to have and honestly when I got into Forza 2 a few years ago I thought about getting a wheel for it. It just makes things better. Hard to explain. Maybe its because I don't really like game controllers all that much.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

Its like using a controller for FPS amirite

Anyways...the detail they put into Rome is sick (1:15)
