Clutch in GT4

[Solid Lifters]

People are still asking if GT4 will have a clutch or not. This should do it for you.

From the October 2003 Issue of PSM Magazine


"Yes, I considered the option of a clutch or clutch pedal in the game, which is technically possible, however, the clutch operation relies on the gravity the driver feels, and gravity force has been difficult to simulate, so there is no clutch." - Kazunori Yamauchi

Indeed gravity should be hard to simulate until we get some neural connection to the PS that can mess with our balance organs.

10 years? 20 years? When will the PS5 Braincap be released?

Regardless of the Gravity issue, How about just hold a button down on the Steering Wheel for a second to slightly mimic the simutlation of gearchanging like reality.

Yes that mabye could satisfy some clutch-fans. Personally I don't want a clutch. The gearshifting with LR buttons is enough.

Except that is not like reality.

Once technology get's to that extreme point they'll do it...

still it could just make it more diffucult and stressful than actually enjoying the game.

ZEE - have you ever driven a stick car on a track? Its damn well fun. With a clutch it would really make the experience geniune. This way you could really get some practice. Another reason is am sure when I hop on the game imma be moving my left foot and look like a fool .

The clutch thing should be thrown in but should be able to be turned off.
