Since GT4 got so damn boring that nobody "plays" it anymore so much as experiences it. That's the whole problem with the GT series, the devs got away from what makes something a game. That's okay though because the fanboys think that boring is a mark of authenticity when it comes to sims.TWITCHDOCTOR wrote:Nah...no steering wheels for me. I never thought they worked with a game well enough to warrent a purchase. Plus, most wheels have too much play in em. I'd rather use the original PS2 Dual Shock for racing anyday.
Also, steering wheel setups really suck, unless you have some place to mount them. Because balancing the wheel on your lap sucks really bad! Not to mention the floor unit with the pedals sliding around.
I have seen some impressive setups on the internet though...I just feel I'd play better with a controller.
Oh, I'm about 50% done with GT-4 now...damn its boring!!!!
The LONG assed endurances races have now officially killed the game for me.(as always) I can't even imagine 25 laps at Nurburgring (Germany), let alone "1000 Mile's"
No, I will not use B-Spec mode with x3 speed...that is not fun. (watching the game play itself...and there is no garuantee that your car will even win)
Watching Nascar on TV would be more fun, and I dislike Nascar racing.
Oh well, the first half of the game was enjoyable.
Since when did video game developers decide that it was "fun" to leave your console on all night long only to play itself?
When Gran Turismo 3 finally came out in June 2002 (for the USA market), I was thinking about getting the original Logitech Racing Force Steering Wheel but decided to wait a little bit. Then in September of 2002, Logitech came out with the 2nd generation Logitech Driving Force Steering Wheel with a built-in PS2 D-pad + the usual PS2 game buttons layout which gave it a much better access to the game controls (and not having to reach down to get a Dual Shock 2 controller off to the side when playing with the behemoth that is the Driving Force Steering Wheel setup). I decided to buy the 2nd gen released model and was very happy with it...set me back at $100.00+ USD just for that setup alone. (It's cool to watch the Driving Force move by itself with it plugged in + using a Dual Shock controller at the same time during an PS2 racing session of Capcom's Auto Modellista game.) ^_~Ganelon wrote:Too technical for me. Have you tried it with one of that expensive Logitech wheel built for the game?
I've never really missed the 1080i mode mostly because it's fake and makes things all jaggerific. It's a nice extra to have but I'd rather the dev team take it all the way. It would be like a 60 fps version of forza with all the slowdown and graphical hickups. Sure it would be nice but why be half assed about it?MSZ wrote:I have the GT3 wheel(Driving Force), it works great with GT4.
I agree about the boring part in the game, but I just can't stand Forza. Mainly because the NSXs in GT4 looks a lot more realistic, plus GT4 has 1080i mode.
Thats just me I guess, but I would rather take a 60 fps and widescreen 480p supported version of Forza over the current one. I have been spoiled by the racing games in recent years, so it has to look good on my TV.(that means 480i just doesn't cut it.)The n00b wrote:I've never really missed the 1080i mode mostly because it's fake and makes things all jaggerific.

That is one reason I got bored with the game. The only thing you can really do is forget about the long races and just screw around with the different cars. I had an idea that would make the photo mode more useful too: Pretend you're a car reviewer and write reviews and post pictures on some website for other GTers to check out. Just a thought.TWITCHDOCTOR wrote: Oh, I'm about 50% done with GT-4 now...damn its boring!!!!

The grafitti is actually there on the real life nurb.TWITCHDOCTOR wrote:Still, without its LONG tedious endurance races, GT-4 is still a good game nontheless. There's plenty of racing to do with all those cars...not to forget about the 'dealership/club" races
Like I said before, I mainly consider the endurance races to be somewhat of an "extra mode" anyway.
About Nurburgring...
I've never seen this track before, only untill I bought Project Goth 2 when it went down to $20.00
Anyway, whats up with all the grafitti(spelling) in the road? To me, its seems like some forgotten test track thats been vandalized, and now somehow came back from the dead.
Nah, not OutRun 2. I'm afraid I simply don't have any interest at all in beating the clock on a linear road, as OutRun and many classic 2D racers were. I'm all about tracks, attaining fastest times (even though I don't like playing for score in shooters, go figureThe n00b wrote: What about outrun 2?
), making the perfect drift through sharp corners, and placing first ahead of better equipped cars. And that's what RR in particular excels in.Are you talking about outrun 2 for the xbox? Because all that stuff is in outrun 2. Not disparaging your opinion or anything, because the RR series are great games, it just doesn't sound like we're talking about the same game.Ganelon wrote:Nah, not OutRun 2.

I suggest finding a Ferrari F355 Challenge cabinet. It is near perfect simulation for a circuit course time attack. Yu Suzuki + Sega...in fine form.Ganelon wrote:I dunno. Is all that in OutRun 2?
