As well as now having the G25, I have the equivalent PS2 wheel like yours (have had for a couple of years), I think its called the Driving Force EX (blue instead of red). Its USB so its supported on PC and I can say after a direct comparison, I lap faster with the G25... by about a second or two each lap. Its awesome.... and as much as it may seem like it, i don't actually work for logitech, I just really like the wheel. ![]() |

![]() I don't want anything from a commodore or falcon untill the BA at least because i can't afford the better ones (ss, xr etc..) and the stock ones are crap IMO. For some reason, when the 90's rolled around, holden and ford decided to make the seats in the base model cars, big and soft. That may be nice to sit in but its not very sporty. There are a hell of a lot of 80's seats that feel alot more 'sports car' like than their 90's counterparts. A seat from a BA or newer XT would be good, but i can't afford that either. The camira seat is height adjustable, slides back and forwards, and has lumbar support so it'll do for now. Unless someone has a BA seat they want to donate ![]() ![]() ![]() I don't go round corners fast enough to fall out of it anyway ![]() |

Sorry to post in an old thread, but just wanted to let everyone know the G25'S are on sale for $298 at dick smiths and if their out of stock go to JB HI-FI and get them to match the price. I got mine tonight, the guy at JB nearly had a heart attack when I showed him the price that was in the dick smith catalogue, they still had a price tag of $449, but they ended up matching it. Now I guess i'll go and give the wheel a try.

That is a negative. Microshaft only let you use their products on the x360 thats why you must get their dodgy steering wheel. i already have a g25 and theres no way im getting a shoddy microsoft wheel for the 360. Forza will be played with a controller.

So what are people using for the PS3? These G25's look the goods but it seems they are not compatible with the PS3.
Thanks. Dave. |

I think it was GT3 I used to play with a wheel and never felt quite right, but was fun.. if it's reasonably realistic with the latest, I'd probably fork out for a PS3. |

![]() Its much much more realistic than any of the previous games. The lack of power oversteer has been fixed, you can now push a car into a slide using the accelerator not just momentum and lack of grip. You can slide cars on racing tires if you push them hard enough. Its so realistic that a lot of people are complaining that its too hard. It does start off pretty easy, i've always been preaching about how the GT games are great but way too easy and prologue starts off like the others but by the time you get to the last races it is pretty hard. Might be easier with TC/ABS etc... turned on but i don't use them cause i'm all man :hihi: besides if an F40 doesn't need them the other cars shouldn't. Some people are complaining that the mid engined cars are almost undriveable. Some of them (the GT, Lotus's or Lotai plural ![]() The clutch/h-gate is great though at the moment you have to 'enable' the clutch at the start of every race (by hitting the triangle button on the shifter) because for some reason there isn't a default setting for the G25. This sounds like something that will be fixed in one of the future online updates, i hope so anyway because its a little annoying. Don't worry though, it is 100% compatible. If you change gears without the clutch the car will catch in neutral meaning you have to reengage the clutch and shift into the proper gear again. Heal and toeing is awesome and you can go down though each gear or skip gears. For me, the main downside to the game is the online races and download updates. I don't have broadband (i steal my neighbors wireless but its too slow) so i have to take my PS3 to my mates place and download them there. You don't need to download the updates, though they have patch fixes for some of the small glitches and there will be more cars in future. Anyone that has broadband won't be worried about it though, but to me, it just feels less console game and more PC game. One of the main reasons the i loved the previous GT games is that i didn't have to worry about my PS2 randomly deciding to not work properly the way my computers always do, ie it was generally more reliable than a computer. The updates are free so thats good at least. As for the racing, at the moment you can't choose who you race with. You pick a car and track, then get randomly matched with a bunch of idiots that just ram you off the track at the first chance. Also, the cars are so jerky. I've only played online at my mates place but even his super fast broadband didn't help. Hopefully these things will be fixed in a future update, it shouldn't be hard for polyphony to copy the normal system that online games have been using forever of choosing a host and playing against your mates rather than strangers. If you are after realism (and especially if you already have a G25) i would run and grab a PS3/GT5 prologue pack as soon as possible. They are about $699rrp i think. If you are purely after online gaming i'd stick with your 360 though. I don't have much experience with the Xbox but from what i've read on gaming forums they are still better at the online stuff than the sony. EDIT: Cockpit view, the graphics in general, F40 and F430 Ferrari's are all like sex with several hot women. The sounds are pretty good too. New GTR sucks though, its very 'technology over style/substance' IMO. Rodp, the cockpit view is so sexy you can see the grain on the leather wheels ![]() ![]() Last edited by 3vXT; 13-04-2008 at 08:45 PM. |
