Omnius - as for your short story you sent me in a message over PSN (lol!) about the G27... It is a fantastic piece of kit.
What I'm hoping for is that the wheel overall is an improvement over the DFGT (this wheel as good as it is, still felt like the DFPro that came before it)
Where I have seen YouTube clips and the G27 sounds alot quieter and the added bonus of a 6 H Shifter and clutch seem to offer an increased realism.
As for using a wheel on GT, I've been using one since GT3 (along with all the other PS driving games across the years) so as far as 'driving' is concerned, its become second nature using a wheel on my PS3.
The G27 - I was going to order one today, but I'm still not sure until Spec 2.0 arrives to see/findout what PD mean by G25/27 support - will ALL the buttons now work, is there 'other' things that currently don't work as expected? If all these things are addressed, I think I will upgrade, the price for the T500RS + Shifter is just mental! As good as GT5 is, its just not worth £389 + £129 with an additional optional Ferrari F1 replacement wheel (£129) for a Thrustmaster (no offence to anyone who has bought one) I'm just wanting something new as I've had this DFGT since Prologue came out and it just feels worn these days (the gearing inside)
As for the G27 shifter, I'm hoping it has a nice solid feel compared to the DFGT +/- Mirco-switched Shifter
So prehaps if anyone has anything to add or when Tuesday comes and the update is installed, drop back on here and update us on what the G2x Support actually means 👍
The only thing I'll miss is having a 'Official' PS wheel, I'm just so used to having the PS button at hand and the standard DS3 buttons on the wheel face for quick use (I know they are sort of on the G27 Shifter pod) - its the PS button really I'll miss...
