Gran Turismo 4 hits stores 2/23. Oh Yeah!

I've been waiting for this game for about a year since it kept getting delayed.

Here is an actual screen shot. no doubt in my mind this is the best racing game ever.

I never did upgrade my old playstation to a PS2. But when I heard that GT4 was do out soon I decided to get the PS2 just for that game.

By the way my favorite racing game was MCO Motor City Online. Car mods and car dynamics went way beyond what GT ever did.

I'm not that big a gamer myself but my son is a gaming nut...he lives and breathes the stuff...he has more game systems on his Tv shelf than I have dvd's!...he's told me several times about games like this and I've got to admit that the graphics are stunning to say the least. I've got just one problem with all of them...I dont drive with just my thumbs!!!...I even asked him what would be a good quality steering wheel to buy and his response was "they all suck"...so I ain't ready to plunk no cash down yet.

The course at the edge of the grand canyon is jaw dropping. Do a google search for some images of the game. They are just stunning.

Yeah, what he said.
Although you'll need a pic with a high angle, shooting down on the car.

I found these videos that are worth a download. I'm drooling now. Think I might fork over $100 for the steering wheel and pedals, not sure though.

Hit this link, and right click on the button that says "Download". When the menu pops up, do a "Save link to Disk"

I bought a wheel and peddles. What you don't notice with the regular controls is that there is a dead spot right in the middle. The wheel amplifies this dead spot. I felt like I was driving a big rig with sloppy steering. Working the wheel left, then right, then left again... and all of this just to go straight.

Yeah, I noticed the dead spot in the controller. Wonder how bad it is with the new steering wheel. The old one only turned 200 degrees. The new one goes a full 900 degrees (2 1/2 turns either way).

I would think if it's 2 1/2 turns, then the dead spot would be amplified even more, but who knows. The only way to find out is to try it.

I had a couple of wheels for the Desktop I was able to set up the wheel with as much dead spot as I wanted or as little. Are you saying the Wheels for the PS2 you can't calibrate?

I also have a wheel for my desktop, and it works awsome.
The wheel I bought for my xbox does not have any calibration. It was a $40 device, maybe the more expensive ones have calibration.
