Why would they do that? It's a racing/driving game, what exactly is going to be the surprise?
It's the 1st GT on PS4, too.
Imagine seeing GT actually account for wheelspin off the line.Why would they do that? It's a racing/driving game, what exactly is going to be the surprise?
Wouldn't surprise me at all to see a slightly altered DFGT for $149-199. It would place them securely in the entry level category and it's a decent wheel for a beginner.I'm having a fierce gut feeling here.
It pertains to FFB wheels and I think that Logitech or Thrustmaster may pull something out for GTS for all we know.
Maybe something from Logitech that actually justifies its pricetag? I dunno...
Anybody share the same feelings?

What about Thrustmaster T150?Considering it's basically an empty category at the moment they really should. There's nothing that would compete with a DFGT.
It's also probably the best value for money wheel there is, especially considering some of the easy mods you can made to it.

DFGT is the extent of a steering wheel I'd buy. Not due to lack of funds but for someone who really enjoys racing games I find the price of most wheels way too steep for a hobby.Considering it's basically an empty category at the moment they really should.

If you are into sims like iRacing I can see the appeal but from someone who just really enjoys the games and wants a decent peripheral that doesn't break the bank there's pretty much no real options.
Apart from old wheels compatibility like DFGT, I hope there will be a direct drive wheel for PS4 released.I'm having a fierce gut feeling here.

$400 for the T150 is a complete ripoff, I know that some electronics in Australia are typically more expensive but that's twice the price of retail in America as I received mine off of Amazon for $200.It's at least twice the price of a DFGT where I am, for what appears to be a similar product without a sequential shifter.

That's not a competing product, IMO. That's a rip off.
The comparably priced product from Thrustmaster is the T80, which has "Thrustmaster® "bungee cord" exclusive system providing with realistic resistance". That's not a competing product either, because no FFB.

The DFGT is relatively unique in that while it felt like a toy and was built of crappy plastic, it was and is completely capable of delivering excellent FFB at an extremely low price. And to my knowledge, no one since has really managed to build something as capable for such a low price. The only real issue the wheel has is the pedals, and an old squash ball or bungy cord goes a long way towards fixing that problem as well.
There is the exchange rate to consider as well so it's not quite $400 if you convert it, less than $US300 actually.$400 for the T150 is a complete ripoff, I know that some electronics in Australia are typically more expensive but that's twice the price of retail in America as I received mine off of Amazon for $200.
No, no new news arrived yet. We might get some nseaky new info from that GT Sport video that was meant to played at the GT booth at the Tokyo Auto Salon, although I don't expect it.So no news from GTS? I just noted that i have big investment ahead as PSVR is announced to Q1 and supports GTS. Hopefully around 500 euros, 1000 would be too much. When that Japanese carshow will be, where some new/same old video of GTS is shown? Next weekend?

That's not what the thinking was. The thinking was "they're going to hide the gameplay until the beta".
