Gran Turismo 5 Options

[manphibian]

Who here has or is going to buy a racing wheel for this? I used to have a Logitech wheel with my PS2 but I would have to sacrifice some motorcycle parts to be able to afford one for the PS3 before the game comes out.

see couple pages back <<<<

i got this one: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-PlayStation...1867&sr=8-1

it is PERFECT!

^ Yarly. That's a good deal as well.

I'm going to buy the game first, see if I like it, and then pick up a wheel. Or if I feel like I have loose change rattling around, I'll get it all at once...but I have a feeling that I won't.

please tell me this is coming out for 360, otherwise i'm going to have to kill myself. (or just sell my celica, buy a ps3, and then get gt5 and be all set! HA! not!)
that would be a major facepalm if i did that.

Baller!

Sh!t. I want to get it sooo bad. Hmm maybe I could see if I can get a PS3 for my birthday haha November 8th!

Logitech G27!!!!!

Y'know, that wheel looks really cool to me. The things that bother me are that I'd have to get a cockpit for sure, so it would all get crazy expensive. Then I also wonder how good the "clutch" is anyway...I figure it can't really relegate a unique feel from each car, so I don't know if it's really worth it? Plus, there are some modern cars now with over 6 gears (SLS, for instance), so that would make the shifter useless.

Either way, I'm going to kick a puppy if November 2nd doesn't come soon. I want it.

Luke, and anyone else interested, we should start organizing a 6GC GT5 club soon!

All you do in your life is drive anyway, might as well start virtually doing so.

I vote that they should have kept NASCAR out...and replaced it with twice more of this stuff:

AMEN
If I wanted to get NASCAR experience, I'd just drag a Hot Wheel across the floor really fast in a circle. That's gotta be at least 300mph to scale, right?

Yarly. Hopefully they didn't put too many required NASCAR races in there...

Yeah hopefully.. I'd rather spend my time doing rallys and F1. I was sad with GT4 because there weren't as many rally races as there were in GT2, but it got traded off for the super awesome F1 car that made me a happy guy.

^ I can't wait to do some WRC stuff...but mostly, I can't wait to race 6GCers on the TG test track. I just can't wait.

[manphibian]

That was such a great idea! I'm gonna scour the used section for a GT-Four. I had one in GT4 and it was a GREAT car. No street car was better than my Amuse S2000 GT1 though lol

I loved the sound of that thing. Real deep.

Yeah me too. But imo, nothing beat the sound of that V12 TVR. Holy balls, that was scary. And I LOVED the AE86's idling sound! "wingawingawingawinga" hahaha
