GT5

[Brazo]

The sound of two cars colliding in arcade mode is like closing a wheelie bin lol! Lets hope its not the same in GT mode!

Actual cockpit view? Or just camera-on-the-nose view?

 

[Brazo]

All the cars presently but only a fraction are unlocked so I suspect the std's are yet to be found, just enjoying drifting an rx7 around forest raceway, too much power on the turn in, rear end swept wide, opposite lock and caught it very nicely

[canky]

loving the tyre smoke

 

[Matt Cup]

Mines nearly finished installing.... Wasn't expecting an update as soon as I put the disk in though :S

 

[canky]

im so dissapointed just feels tosh even with the wheel as its not really officially supported i cant seem to customise any of the buttons. i like to feel weight behind the wheel and every time i turn the corner i dont want the wheel to decide to turn back the other way :dapprove:

I thought you said you had a G25?

 

[Seedy172]

Apparently, I have a preorder for game from about 2 years ago. It's a midnight launch. Plus it's pay day tomorrow, and I'm now have the day off. Things are looking pretty good!! Can't actually wait now

 

[john.med]

I fail at multiquote. Fact

 

[canky]

yeah i do and the g25 is awesome, but cant get it to work very well with this.

That's pathetic. Surely they've sorted out G25/27 support since they released Prolgue. If it's the "Real Driving Simulator" surely they expect people to use a decent wheel and pedal set-up. I tried Forza with the Fanatec Porsche wheel, with Clubsport pedals and a gated shifter and it all worked perfectly. I couldn't drive it for s**t, but it worked.

Looks like I'll use my old GT 4 wheel then rather than lifting a G27 out of the office this evening.

 

[quik97]

any one know what time parcel force deliver till. it says when i track it that the parcel should be delivered today but im still waiting

 

[adam1942]

@quik97 7pm

and they did sort the issues with the wheels apparently as the clutch works and all at the start of the games etc.

it might be ok for some people i dont know but i have tried to customise buttons in the menus. but you can only seem to do this with the other wheel types they have like GT pro or such things. The g25 works obviously but has no way near the same feeling as f1. this may be noobish but on f1 i use the left foot for breaking (far left pedal) and throttle as normal. ive turned all aids off. i hope someone can prove me wrong. As you say it seems you have got to buy a cheap steering wheel to get the best out of the best race game ever yeah right.

 

[adam1942]

sorry but you are complaining because you bought a wheel that isn't officially supported. fair enough it should have been supported but it isn't. buy one that is and button up

I have http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001IWR9JY/?tag=cliospnet01-21 and I've yet to find anything wrong with it (in prologue)

 

[Lee]

A lot of people use the clutch as for the brake when playing F1. We have one of ours set-up like that as the part of the stand makes it hard to hit the middle pedal.

I'm still amazed they've not sorted that since Prologue. Supporting the two best wheels on the market should be a priority.

The point is it should be supported.

 

[sneeks]

I have the G25, will post here later with my experience of using it with GT5. I also use the clutch pedal as the brake in F1.

excellent mate hope you can share your experience. for me using the middle pedal as the brake on this is killing the game for me lol, especially as some of us might be using the wheel stand pro?

Why would they support it when they can make a quick buck out of selling their own wheel? Or am I just being a bit cynical...

 

[Turkish]

McLaren in "sounds like a hedge trimmer" shocker.

 

[lamborgini8]

Mine was waiting for me after work and its finally finished installing, funny enough it took exactly 50 mins.

Why are people judging the sound on dodgey videos, im about to find out for myself first hand but there's people on here saying it sounds crap... of course it sounds crap when someones put a camera in front of their tv.

 

[Turkish]

Not all the videos online are taken with crappy cameraphones. Some are capture card efforts. There's also the issue that there have been plenty of other driving games video'd with a crappy cameraphone which sound a hell of a lot better..

[Turkish]

Seem to be a lot of people opting for an EK9 lol

More Type R

 

[Cookie]

Went for a 30 minute run, it's still installing :/

 

[Scutch]

I dont know if the update I installed had this big an effect or if I am just now 'getting it' but I take back everything negative I had to say about the handling, its superb.
I went back to my '97 Civic Type R and it felt like a tank, exactly how I would expect such a car to feel after driving the Nissan GT. I could really feel the weight, it was very heavy and I could tell that it had stock suspension with the way the weight was transfering from left to right. It felt very spongy and quick steering adjustments were not possible because of it.
I was not breaking enough into the corners and the heavyness of the car was very apparent the way it just kept on going deep into the turn, the feeling of inertia was very good.
At times I felt like I was on the edge of the tyres grip levels, just to check if this was just a feeling I pushed a bit harder and started to slide.

Very pleased with the game now, graphics & AI aside.

Infact, it's stuck saying 3 seconds to go at the end of the bar.. nice :/
