I must confess to not having read this part of the forum for a while so have missed out on a lot of info... What is the 0-100 time of the 197? Have Evo tested it and do they have the figures in the back of the mag in bold? Where did the new CTR times come from? I thought it wasn't getting a...

I have been thinking about it more and am starting to come round to the 197 and may very well upgrade in September when my 182 is 3 years old. I still think they are too expensive. They seem to be the same spec as the old 182 Cup but with full fat pricing. Also will be interesting between now...

Echo what others have said. Very lucky that it was burnt out. My fathers car was nicked and got recovered from a ditch with damage. It ended up being fixed by the insurance so he got back a car that he had looked after but someone had ranted the f**k out of it for a few days. Also it was never...

Yeah the GT series is a bit mickey mouse compared with LFS, rFactor and the SimBin GT games. I play them when I want a serious sim and PGR when I want a highly playable arcade experience without getting too stupid like NFS etc. I find that the GT games on Playstations fit uncomfortably in...

http://image2.ruliweb.com/data/news7/05m/09/ps3/ruliweb_ps3_gthd_01.jpg Here we go. Now view that at full size and look at the jaggies and tell me where are they in that official video of the Evo? You can see them on the curbs, the cars and the dashed white lines in the distance. Clearly in...

I could never understand why the only PS2 game that was ever able to compete with Xbox graphics was GT3/GT4 etc whereas all the other games looked absolutely rubbish. Wonder if it will be the same this time... I will have to reserve judgement on these things until I see genuine HD footage...

£40 a year but I wouldn't bother unless you are gonna get a 360 at some point. You only have to look in the other tech section to see how many people here subscribe to Live so that speaks for itself. PS2 online is crap in comparison. People always go on about the PS and Wii service being free...

It costs but I'd rather pay for something that works than have a load of useless crap for free!

Buy one of these adapters.

Oh yeah my bro had some connection problems and apparently read on the internet that you need to go into the router options and change the channel to 11 (the default on the router was 6). In my router options it is under SSID which is set to default and then underneath I have selected the...

My brothers Wii picks up our router and the signal has to pass through 4 brick walls because of the angle! Its about 10 metres away as the crow flies.

No you use a Gamecube pad or the classic pad. Debatable as to whether it is worth paying for something you can get for free on a PC emulator. I can say for a fact that the Virtual Console emulation of FZERO is superior to the PC emulation. It doesn't have the high res mode 7 graphics so...

On 5th Gear they said you could get one for £13k? Where?!?! They said the info was on their website but I couldn't find it. I can upgrade in September if I wish but I am thinking of maybe another Veccy or keeping the 182 as the 197 is over priced and under spec'd.

Probably Zelda although I am scrounging my brothers game and he is using it. Funnily enough despite having a 360 and Wii I find myself playing N64, GC and SNES games on the Wii or PC emulators. Currently playing Ocarina of Time again.

Yeah I park miles away from the entrance and use the 2 place trick. I am sure people don't like it but when they learn to drive better than your average 'tard I won't have to do it. What always bothers me is that these people manage to collide with a stationary 1 tonne large heap of metal when...

This geezer is right. Weird thing is that cleartype looks much better on my laptop but I connect my desktop to my HDTV and it looks rubbish on that. Weird cos the TV is a superior TFT to the one in the laptop.

There is nothing wrong with the straps and no one aside from a few insurance fraudsters has had any issues with remotes smashing teeth, TV's or Windows. None of the games require you to swing it about that hard and even if you did let go it is too light to do much damage. This is just a clever...

Amazon have just dispatched mine! I wouldn't queue up in the early hours for one. The only thing worth playing at the moment is Zelda plus the virtual console games which you probably all have on emulators anyway plus of course your old cube games.

My bro (who already has one) noticed that they had them on Amazon this morning at 08:30! So he quickly ordered one for me! I should get it middle of next week! Ordered the pad from them too but had to get a Madcatz component lead from somewhere else. Within minutes of my bro ordering they went...

This guy is right. Upgrading to a Mk1 Vee is as pointless as upgrading to a 182. My mate was going on about them for years and ended up keeping it a few months. I drove it a couple of times and didn't miss it when I got in my 182 but I did appreciate the benefits of my car. Sure it got loads of...

Ah right I was going to ask how much different the Mk1 was to the Mk2. I found the Mk1 to be no quicker than my 182. It felt the same as my 182 whilst driving it and when chasing my friend I kept up with him no problems. I think I had the handling edge too. V6 pulled miles better from low revs...

I will be honest and say I preferred PGR2 to Forza 1. Mainly because I play online and car setup options created an unlevel playing field where you have the sad no-life poindexters on one hand that spend hours setting up cars so casual players that have a life stand no chance in online races...

E.g. Golf is great but as I said wouldn't it be better if Tiger Woods had that control scheme. So Ok EA release Tiger Woods 07 on the Wii. Fine but I have the money yet I am stuck playing Tiger Woods with gamecube graphics using the remote and Tiger Woods with next gen graphics on 360 with a...

To be honest it is like Perodua inventing a new cheap 1.3 litre engine with 1000bhp and getting a patent on it so that the only way you can have it is in a Nippa. 360 and PS3 owners are like the Ferrari and Porsche owners sat there thinking "what a f*cking waste of a good idea". As an £80...

I say it again though you have to admit it would be better if the controller was released for the 360 or PS3. Ignoring the control method it is a crappy previous gen console! I was arguing with my brother today because he was still ranting on about choosing between originality and graphics. I...

Look up Atari 5200 as I said earlier! Its on Wiki. Anyway we have it set up on the widescreen CRT downstairs and it looks miles better. It is amazing how dump it looks on a HD TFT with the standard lead but the colours are back to normal on the old TV! Bowling and Golf were ace. :approve...

It is simple! Other consoles 15 years earlier had an analogue joypad! They may not look like pads of today but they essentially consist of a handheld pad with buttons and an analogue stick that does not have buttons on it - i.e. they are "joypads" and not flight sim style "joysticks". They...

Well you can argue about whether it has to be thumb or hand controlled but there were consoles with an analogue stick on a hand held pad with a number of buttons on it so for me that is an analogue pad and not a PC style analogue joystick. Nintendo just made the stick a bit smaller. Check out...

A couple of consoles back in the early 80's had an analogue stick on the control pad.

The lights of death was supposed to have been fixed on all 360's built this year. My brothers and I have 3 between us and a couple of friends at work have 360's and not one has developed a fault... I played on my brothers Wii last night. My comments are in the Wii thread but I don't think it...
