Just pre-ordered GTR2

[Darren S]

ETA 16th September - get in!

Only £24.99 from Amazon. Getting bored of the demo now. I's wants me a Porsche, I tell thee!

[ollie]

i aint even played the demo yet : (

I've got more than enough to play on 360 next month so I'm not going to order it yet. I want to get Broken Sword 4 for PC, so I'll probably play that at work.

I was playing a bit of GT Legends at lunch today. I love that game.

 

[Nik]

About bloody time! Will pre-order it tonight.

From the demo it does look good but I still think i'll prefer GT Legends, the cars of that era are just more fun to drive.

 

[ollie]

broken sword 4 : O i still aint got round to downloadin 3 yet.

loved 1 + 2, mint games !!!!!1111111

I really enjoyed the GTR demo but I never did buy the full game. I never did know if I should buy a wheel. Now, I normally hate wheels and I have never used one that actually made me feel it was steering the car. It's always felt a little bit driving a CTR (no offence to owners)

I'm open to suggestions though as I think the GTR games deserve to be played with a good wheel. Or can anyone recommend a good PC joypad. I've used my Xbox pads in the paast but they are a pain to setup and install drivers etc.

 

[Nik]

I've got one of these:

Best wheel i've used and i've owned 4 different wheels over the years.

There's better if you want to spend silly money on some hand built really serious bits of kit but this is will do nicely.

 

[ollie]

i got that wheel to, best one ive had quite durable to!

 

[Rasclart]

Cant wait for Broken Sword 4

 

[Clart]

I've been rinsing GT legends lately, its a quality game, bit hard to play on the keyboard though

 

[Darren S]

I think GTR and GTL need a wheel to be played properly. I've got the veteran Microsoft Sidewinder FF USB wheel - cracking device even if it is years old now....

D.

 

[Nik]

^^ Agreed, the Sidewinder was my first wheel and is very good. Unfortunately the rubber grips eventually all broke off (a bit like a clio) and it was the gameport version so not much use these days.

 

[Munson]

Oooh I think that could be quite cool. GTR2 in 1680x1050 20" Widescreen with that wheel and headphones could be pretty amazing

Cheers for the heads up, I might read a few reviews. Shame my oven blew up last night and I've had to spunk a load of cash on a new one today :evil:

i played the PC demo of gtr2 and it is so bloody difficult if you have all the driving aids off!

Probably a bit like driving a GT car

 

[Munson]

So do most racing games detect and configure properly with a wheel? Specifically the analogue pedals?

Yes, you usually just need to configure the buttons on the front and the shifters.

 

[Darren S]

The weird sh1t thing about GTR2 (maybe just the demo though?) is that it doesn't have a default FF profile for the Microsoft Sidewinder wheel. Logitech's mentioned a fair bit, but not the MS device. A bit strange as it was available in both GTR and GTL.
