surely not more than SMG...?

The OT is going to be a miserable place with the inevitable Ami backlash from disappointment :p

not even Super Mario Galaxy. Because even though I was anticipating it, it had been a long few years of subpar Nintendo efforts so it was until I played the demo unit shortly before its launch that I was really super hyped. And by then, the game had a 100% definitive launch date so no driving myself crazy.

GRAN TURISMO 5 has no peer. It's sick. Fucking sick
 
Hey guys, need some advice. Thinking about purchasing the Driving Force GT. It's ON SALE and has a $30 REBATE coming out to $70 on Amazon.

Would you recommend it as a steering wheel?
I know there's no clutch and 6-gate shifter. Do you think it takes away from the driving experience?

It's a great wheel. The only way you're going to get a wheel with a clutch and an H gate shifter is to pay around $300. So if you aren't willing to pay that for a wheel then the DFGT is the best one out there.

yes, it’s good.

it’s not as awesome as 200+ dollar fanatic or G27 wheel but it’s [I]great[/I] for <100 bucks (or even for a bit more than 100 bucks) and I recommend it, having used it for around a month now

It was briefly discussed on the last page, but yeah, I would definitely recommend it. Especially at that price.

Perfectly able to grasp the inherent value of the fishing game.

If you do not have a wheel, $100 ($70 after that rebate), and want a wheel that is assured to work 100% with Gran Turismo 5, buy it right now. I bought it for £72 which was a good price in the UK.

Sure, the G27 is better, but is far more expensive.
 
I can't remember what podcast it was, but they were pondering whether Gran Turismo even had much of a following anymore. Might have been Weekend Confirmed. Well, fuck me if the internet didn't just blow up because someone claimed they had a copy. :lol

So what are you guys looking forward to the most in Gran Turismo 5 exactly? I'm really want to have a ton of tracks to race on! I also wonder how many Ferraris will be in the final game as well.

Also i might go for a G27 Wheel, I already have a Driving Force Pro, back when GT4 came out.

This game will sell multi-millions in Europe alone, it's one of the biggest reasons Sony has dominated Europe (especially continental Europe).

Night racing. It's a totally difference experience in almost every way.

God damn. I'm strongly considering getting a second DFGT at that price. It would be awesome for when I race against friends.

I can't afford a second wheel but just out of curiosity, was it possible to hook up two wheels to one ps3 and play splitscreen gt5p like that?

Tails is in, I don't know who this Sonic guy is you're going on about.
He's the blue knuckles knock-off they introduced this generation to try and re-energize the Tails franchise. Not well known.

I'm trying to find that out now. If it doesn't, I still wouldn't mind having an extra one for LAN racing.
