i got the logitech wheel that spins 900 degrees. the game is f'en impossible with it. if you think the license is hard to win with the controller the wheel is like 10 times harder.

its not quite exactly, althought the force feed back is a nice feature and gives you some feel you don't feel the lateral movement of a real car. you don't have a real feel of how much its rotating and how near the limit the car is. you get a little of the feel from the car's reaction on the screen but its just not exactly the same. if you have the wheel already try it out you will see what i mean.

Picked it up after work today. I spend about 30 minutes just looking through the cars in arcade mode and messing around with them. The M3 and M5 are SICK!

Taking a break to watch the MD game.

If you win gold in the licence test, you will get 3 prize cars.

All gold in S-licence give you a goddamn Ford Model T...

Turn on the traction control for ALL RWD cars. Especially the LeMans cars which all have 800+ hp in the game without mod.

I'm picking up the GT4 and the Logitech GT4 steering wheel/pedals set tomorrow at Best Buy. Apparently in my area, they don't get the game in 'til tomorrow morning, and on the shelves until early afternoon. I played for a few hours at my buddy's house tonight, though. We used his old Logitech wheel and pedals, and it was fun. I can't wait to get my shit tomorrow.

does the gt4 wheel actually help when playing? and is it that much better than a controller? and do you know if it'll hook up to a comp? like by usb since it's made by logitech? or is it strictly made for ps2?

I think it will help because the game control is so fine in this release.

Oh yea, not having played Forza.

GT4>Forza


I Just dont' see anyway that forza will be able to match the realism in GT4. Physics engine is amazing. If yer a graphics junkie....forza is your thing but if you're a simulator junkie than I don't see how you could ever pick it. All this with lesser hardware.
