Got GT5 and a PS3 yet, Ian?
I'm waiting on the PS3...I have the older version of PS2 and a new one (still in the box...got a great deal on it) and apparently they are bulletproof...the verdict is out on the PS3, as several guys I know that have them have had issues after using for some time. Later models may have been upgraded.
If you believe the forums, the game-play in the Gran Turismo 4 is considered more fun (and, in
some ways,
more realistic) than GT5, although the latter's graphics are incredible...but, it is all about how playing connects with the player. I know I still enjoy it immensely.
I use a
Logitech G-25 Steering wheel (leather wrapped) with
real metal pedals
and shift paddles, plus a 6-speed shifter...it is an awesome controller, and makes the game so much more realistic and challenging.
GT4 has the Nurburgring track,
very accurately modeled, and the rest of the game is still pretty cool.
Finances will be the consideration as far as getting the PlayStation 3, especially if it isn't that much better play-wise.
If I go with the Tyros4 as my personal keyboard, I'll wait on a purchase of the PS3...if I go with a PSR, I may make the buy earlier.
The wheel is what makes both games...
especially the G-25...you can even feel the change in
texture of the track surface!
Sure came a long way since the Vic-20...ha ha.
