The All New Gran Turismo Game!

[N-nigma]

Everybody here knows the game by heart... Heck, I use to have sleepless nights because of this game in the PS1 console. All the nice cars, superb graphics, a "true driving simulator", what can I say it's the mother of all modern racing games! Where can we drive supercars such as the Dodge Viper GTS, Audi R8, Nissan GT-R, Ferrari 430, Benz SL55 AMG etc. Thanks to this game we had the "feel" of getting behind the wheel of such cars!

Now, let's once again get our joysticks (umm...our PS joysticks) and drive ourselves nuts!

Hehehe I am still hesitant to buy a PS3 just for this game though, pero meron naman Forza Motorsport 2 sa Xbox 360 which is kinda like a Gran Turismo clone....

[drey]

Imo, it's not a clone pero a little lang... hehehe.

PS3 - BDL
XBOX 360 - 3RL

OT: The BDL can be fixed albeit quite expensive mga P4k ata yung 3RL paminsan dead na console mo forever....

I saw the site... the cars are awesome!! Few but still, well... the best there is and there was. He he...but I cant help but notice that just like in other popular Japanese made race games where they feature sports to supercars, there is Honda scarcity. Like the popular arcade game Wangan Midnite (have you guys played it? very nice huh?), no Honda at all. Maybe my tsinoy friend who works in a Japanese port is right, Honda is less popular in Japan when it comes to performance vehicles vs. other Japanese rivals-- like Fellow big 3- Nissan Toyota, and other top brands like Mitsu and Subaru.

By the way, I heard before that the GTR proto was going to be the cover of the game.. I guess they now settled to the actual GTR production. Hmm, maybe its because of the delay of the game's launching.

Yep also noticed what you've said regarding that, well I think its simply bec. I think In Japan (your right) mas sporty ang dating ng other brands vs. Hondas.. dito locally baliktad, maybe it's bec. of the availability of performance cars in the market and due to our errr... let's just say conservative buying power.

Anyways I've heard all but good reviews about this game, can't wait to get one of these! and oh I also think the logitech G25 is one of the best vid game steering wheel to date!

Games like this deserve better than a gamepad or joystick. I just bought a Logitech driving wheel/brake/gas pedal for my daughter to use on the old PS2. It should work with a PS3 (my next purchase) as well.


The Logitech NASCAR steering wheel/gas/brake pedals hooked to my gaming pc doesn't have a stick shift. Instead, it has 2 buttons easily reachable by both thumbs. Personally, I like the buttons better.

Uy mukang nakaktempt bumili nyan ah.... Basta di lang mahal....

The G25 is a great system... well worth the money.... we used it at the motorshow last week:


I've only used it with Gran Turismo HD... and once you get used to it, it's great. There's a shifter that can either be used as a six speed manual or a sequential stick... that's the flimsiest part of the unit, though... and feels way too light. The steering wheel has steel paddles that feel much better.

There's also a three pedal box with a clutch. It's got firmer pedal action than the Driving Force Pro we used to run on.

We're going to have a great set-up for the Tran-Sport Show... I just can't wait!

The Logitech Driving Force Pro (pictured) we bought for our kid retails for ~$130.00. The Logitech G25 niky mentioned retails for $300.00!!! at Best Buy.

My old Logitech NASCAR retailed for $60.00 brand new.

We got the G25 for only around $275... and that includes the ridiculous add-on tax here in the Philippines... the price is going down.

Hell... if you're going to do it, do it right the first time...

But the DFP is a very good wheel, too... and the six speed shifter with the G25 feels like a pretty flimsy piece of kit... I'd rather just use the paddles... but the pedals are much MUCH better than the DFP's.

Oh well... as long as it's got a good wheel... it's worth the price... and the Logitech wheels are among the best.
