Gran Turismo Sport: General Discussion

If Fanatec were to come out with a licensed PS4 wheel for less than $200, I might consider it.

Then you'll be waiting an eternity. Fanatec are well known for pretty high end gear. And what quality of wheel would you really expect for less than $200?

That sounds really positive for people with Fanatec wheels. I hope they make a GT branded direct drive wheel at a competitive price.

G27 support dream continues to be emulated. I wonder how well the G29 has been selling because at that price it seems easier for any of their past unsupported costumers to switch brands.

I think we'd all like someone, anyone, to make another DFGT. Which was usually priced between $100 and $150. And while it was a bit plasticky, it was as competent a controller as pretty much anything.

 

[CSLACR]

DFGT served me very well, especially for $99.99. My $280 Fanatec GT3RS with CSR Elite pedals was substantially nicer, particularly the pedals, but the DFGT was perfectly competent, and still works, which I can't say for the GT3 wheel. (CSR Elite pedals still work)
I see no reason someone can't manufacture a decent DFGT or better quality wheel and sell it for $100 to $150.

Considering I've currently got a Fanatec Carrera that retailed for $150 when it released, I'd at least expect something similar to that. I have no interest in spending more than half of the price of what the PS4 was when I got it just to have a racing wheel. At that point, I'll just stick to the DS4 and find something else to put my money into.

That was back in the day when peripherals were still toys. Seems to me that the peripheral market has changed significantly since then. I think you guys might be waiting quite a while to see a wheel at that price point again. If it was going to happen I think it would have already happened. Just doesn't seem to be a manufacturer out there who is interested in that end of the market unfortunately.

 

[GTPorsche]

Peripherals are not toys. That's a terrible mindset, especially when it costs $100+ for it.

How much does the T150 sell for in the states? I picked one up new in the UK for £110, I would put it on a par pretty much with the DFGT and fully PS 3 & 4 compatible.

Plenty of things that cost that sort of money are considered toys.

T150 is $200.

New

I find this particularly interesting. It's quite a bold statement if legit. In North America the last "special" themed console released was the COD3 in November, and a quick search didn't reveal anything in the works or up for pre-order (except plain black console bundled with a new game) in the near future. Could a special GT Sport livery console be coming next?? If that's the case I'm willing to sell my COD one even if it means loosing $100.

If any game was a system seller I would say GT would be it so I wouldn't be surprised to see a big hoopla made about a GT console.

Alrighty then.. (but it's not a racing game ). But like many special bundles they're often limited to one region too, so we'll see.

That Uncharted PS4 is North America, UK, and Europe. It's Sony's 2nd largest franchise so they're not going to restrict it to one region.

Talk about desperate for news to the point of making things up... lol.

Ah yes. I remember this behaviour of making up news or speculating. The good old (not really) days of being a desperate GT fan

Can't say I miss it. I'll just go play around with my Porsche collection in FM6

Pft. I'll play with my real Porsche on the local B roads!

Spoiler

I wish!

Same here man. 👍 Been busy playing The Crew, fun game is fun and free from PD's hands (if ya know what I mean ).

It's currently $200 on Amazon.
The G27 was running around 225 with 3 pedals and a shifter before they became scarce, so it makes the 200 tag seem pretty steep for something like a DFGT.

 

[georgetigra]

Every year on Nurburgring 24h race we have something new from PD..
I'm sure!
And i sure too that Kaz knows better English than me..

That's not the verified page though.

Look for a blue tick in a circle next to the main name heading.

I must say, from going on facebook and looking at that picture closer it doesn't appear to be taken in GT6. However I have seen some extremely realistic looking photos from GT6 and people have doctored images further after taking them.

It is definitely an unofficial/fake page though without even looking for the certified check mark.

Yup. GT's Facebook page is just called "Gran Turismo". If you search that and check what was most recently posted, that image of the Mazda LM55 doesn't appear anywhere. The most recent post was about the GT6 Seasonal events.

I believe it is a real world promotional photo using the full size LM55 model Mazda made and have shown off at various motor shows around the world.
