boro92 said:Question though: aren't you guys greatly disappointed when you drive your car in a game and realize that the handling traits are nothing anything near what the real car behaves like? I know it's a lot to ask for from a game, because they likely have only 1 suspension model for all their cars....but still

TMSBOSS said:For about $500.00 you can fix that, amazon.
Wheel, shifter and pedals $300.00. Seat with mounts $200.00.

FWIW, I picked up GT6 today.
The sounds for engine/exhaust are not that accurate, and the tire squeal noise continues to be very digital sounding.
On the car's handling: For me, it's not a matter of not having a controller and pedals. It's the inherit characteristics of how the car works in your hands.
In real life, the Boss is generally neutral corner entry, followed by not so fantastic mid corner bite (but modest amounts of mid-corner rotation should you need it), and wrapped up by needing the patience to wait and roll into the throttle for exit or too much traction is lost. The car has tons of vertical motion, and likes to raise/drop the nose during shifts and on/off throttle. The car has lots of brake dive and can get some tail wag under really hard braking...
None of those characteristics are present in this game. The car has mild push on entry (even when trail braking), it has moderate push mid corner and playing with throttle inputs doesn't really fix it too much, and on exit you can hammer on the gas like it was awd. That..........is not very Boss 302 like at all
Oh and PS - the game has impossibly excellent brakes on all cars from factory, and tire heat management doesn't seem to be like a thing in the world of GT6 (can you tell that I'm not that thrilled about the game?). Maybe I'm asking for too much, but IMO, even Forza4 was a much better job from a physics perspective. Sniff sniff.
A bit off topic but do you think Forza 5 will be released for X Box 360 after the holidays?Brandon302 said:Nice that they got everything right on it, too bad it has to be in GT since Forza is a much better game.

I'm also thinking my son needs the Logitech G27 wheel setup for Christmas. ;D
