Hey with those wheels, what is it like to use on lap? Impossible? Impractical? If I got one I couldn't see myself making an elaborate setup for it or sitting at the dining table to play GT4

It's extremly uncomfortable as the bottom of the wheel has clamps for the table, and it's also quite hard to turn the wheel if its not fixed down. It definatly needs to be clamped to a table to make proper use of it.

i once had some crapy wheel given to me as a present (for the ps2) it's got a ferrari sign on it, but i can tell you now that it's rubbish. I've played on the standard driving force wheel and thats not too bad.

my personal opinion being if you dont get either the driving force or the pro wheel, it's probably better to just play with the control pad. Thats what i did with GT, 2 & 3.

I just can't see springing $300 right now no matter how much I want a wheel...

I'm such a hypocrite - about 2 hours after making the above post I went and shelled out $300 for the wheel...

Anyway I was trying it with GT3, goddamn it's like much much harder than using the controller???!? Granted I don't yet have a good situation set up for using the wheel/pedals...but I really really hope this is just a matter of getting used to the steering sensitivity etc because otherwise this sucks lol...I can't even win basic races with the wheel at the moment and with the regular controller I can win the toughest races in the game!

OK revised opinion: I tried the wheel with GT4 prologue and it rocks!! MUCH more intuitive than with GT3, the 900 degree rotation is awesome, as is the way the wheel fights you as you slip into a drift, feels fantastic, I think anyone who tries this wheel with GT4 is gonna love it.

Now I just need to figure out a decent setup for it...

LOL, yeah, it's just a matter of getting used to it, but it's definatly heaps better in prologue than gt3.

did anyone else see GT4 at the melb grand prix?

was in the superstore at the top of the track. just one systems with no sign or anything! played the nurburgring for 1 min and grand valley. nur graphics were great, better than gt4, buit grand valley seemed worse than GT3. maybe it was because it was an old track?

as for handleing, it felt good but only played for 1 min

No, I wasnt having ago at anyone.

You seemed a fairly certain about ProII and I thought you may have some proof, so I asked to post any links. (as no one else has been able too).

I think people get mixed up because there was the Driving Force (released with GT3) and now the Driving Force Pro.

So while there is no Driving Force Pro II, the DVP is kind of Driving Force II.

On another note, I heard that players with a GT3 save are going to be able to transfer up to 100,000 credits at the start of the game. So what are you gonna buy with your 100k?

I think I'll stick with a sonic silver 1996 Skyline GTS25t Type-M :P Want to see if it feels like the real thing with the new wheel....

I think 100k is too much personally, you could make up a pretty unbeatable car at the start of the game with that.

Anyone know if this launch is gonna be like the GTA San Andreas launch where some stores start selling at midnight

I don't know. I tried to look at the EB website but the Oz network doesn't have one. I ll try googling.

EDIT: Couldn't find anything. Might give EB a call.

EDIT: EB at Castle Hill are NOT doing a midnight launch. They said it would be there at 8:30 in the morning.

I just gotta a call from eb games, they told me that i can pick up my copy of GT4 at 9:30 am tomorrow.

I assume most other eb games will be the same. however maybe Grace bro. or k-mart might be open early?!

anyways gonna need a good sleep before i pick it up, cause i think i'm gonna be running off coffee for the next few night :coffee:

There is no R33 GTS25T in GT4. Unfortunately..... There wasn't one in GT3 either.

Dammit, that really sucks! I was hoping with 700+ cars they could at least fit that in jeez!!!!!! That seems ridiculous, no doubt they'll have all sorts of useless crap cars and can't even have a 33 gtst...grr.

Is there a list of the cars they have somewhere? GT2 is the only game that has a R33 GTSt as far as I can tell and it's starting to look, very very bad graphics-wise.

WTF?! why a 32, every gtr variant known to man and no gtst....

Should'nt have much to complain about as out of the 700 odd cars, there are 57 skylines... now thats huge.

btw here's a list http://www.complex-solution.de/gameaction/...cars.html#japan

that list you got is missing a few, i think there are a few tuned ones as well, such as the mines R34, the carbon R & a blitz one if i remember correctly.

lol nice try tho!

As for the R33 doing burnouts...what a petty little man! I say we take R32-R34 GT-Rs and GTSt's and go do burnouts at PD...see how popular he is taking all those out of GT5!!

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30掳 silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30掳 silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
