I just got done playing TDU2 for a couple of hours. As far as driving goes it is a total POS. Anyone who has ever driven a real car would be having issues with the handling of the "cars" in this game. If you want a video game crossover experience (The SIMS meet Forza) or are looking for something to achieve simulated greatness then this is your game. If you like to drive and want to experience different cars stay away from TDU2.
I don't enjoy racing in the rain either nor does ANY professional racer in any motorsport I have ever witnessed in person or watched on TV. but it is a part of some competition and an added challenge to driving your car, or at least making it around the course on your bike.

I don't know, I was watching the Daytona 500 shootout on Saturday, and the cars were gaining almost 20 MPH extra from drafting.

Well, not all of us can afford to spend more for a controller for a video game, than we did for the actual game itself. You shouldn't have to buy extra peripherals and whatnot to enjoy the game. Then on top of that, you'll most likely have to shell out more cash for some sort of table/seat thing to mount the wheel and pedals to, or you can build something yourself.
My point is that I just can't justify spending upwards of $150 for a controller for a video game, no matter how much more enjoyable it would make the experience. Now I'm not sure if that's how others feel, but to me, if they couldn't make the game equally as enjoyable with a DS3, then it's their fault they are getting these complaints...
That being said, I still am enjoying the game very much so with a Dual shock 3. Recently, I've been doing laps on the Top Gear track with stock cars and comparing the times and how they drive. I am quite sure that I would probably enjoy it more if I had a wheel, but I have other priorities/bills that come first...
Oh, and sometimes I like relaxing on the couch laying down while I play...
Can you do that with a wheel?

I was bored of Prologue a while back and decided to take the plunge and buy a DFGT. One of the best gaming decisions I ever made, I never got bored with it again. It did make the wait until GT5 was released more painful though!
Whenever I get a couple of hours to myself, I set my wheel up and just go cruising around my favorite tracks with no HUD. GT5 isn't complete without a wheel.

this post is semi-useless, but, the new update is on my birthday. Good things usually happen every Feb. 18, so, the update should fix a buttload of things, i hope before I buy GT5. I see it as a birthday present from me(0.000001%) and PD(99.999999%) to you guys

It happens to be my mums birthday on that day too mate.
I'm not a NASCAR fan, but this is the truth. 10-20 lead changes a race is normal.
I watch the first lap of an F1 race - then the rest on fast forward because unless it is raining nothing is going to change!

I think the Nascar organization will be flipping out if the cars reach 240+ mph.
The ACO thought those speeds were dangerous on a long stretch of highway, so imagine going at those speeds in a oval, with crowds lined up on the sides, and the competitors lined up next to each other.

I am done with GT5*
*(for this week only, I will resume my GT5 addiction when the new patch is in place. I hope it can iron out some quirks I have with this game, and help me achieve some gold medals with common sense that shouldn't leave me at silver after 100 attempts)

Why is it so hard to find a car to run a race with? How about some suggestions and I mean more than just bhp and weight, which rarely tell the full story.
The "menu loading-having to constantly go back and forth" navigation issue is my biggest gripe.As far as replays, I was stunned when I tried to do what you mention above. I can't believe you can't t find a particular spot (or even lap) in a replay.

Well, I've been grinding it on B-Spec (Last Expert Championship), to get the F1 and do the challenges... and shopping for cars for my collection in between runs.
That made me re-run the game, which was otherwise stalled.

I thought the 'typical opponents' list was a nice addition to the game for A-Spec races.
I got the driving force pro for GT4 (know idea where it is now 
) and that completely changed the game for me it felt amazing and Im sure it would be with GT5 too.
I think what he's getting at is the tuning settings, tweaking these in practice without leaving the drive should be possible I reckon it makes life a bit easier thats all

What does QTF mean ?
Yes i can do that, i take my controller ,press the PS button sit on the couch and play
As for the 'I m not buying a wheel that costs more than the game' - Fair enough but have you thought of ALL the other racing games you can play with it ?
Dirt 2 & 3, Shift 2, GT5, ANY PC sim, TDU (if that way inclined), WRC, F1-2010&2011 i'm sure there are more i'm not mentioning. Price of all these games vs DFGT price ? - You do the math
Here is the killer though, you said " if they couldn't make the game equally as enjoyable with a DS3, then it's their fault " - WOW did u just say that ? Did you think about it before you wrote it ?
They can't make the game as enjoyable as with a wheel, it's an impossibility with the DS3.
Comparison: Controller - You have 2 thumb sticks you move 1 inch up,down,left,right.
Wheel - You have steering wheel which turns 900'degrees ( maybe 50-100x more movement than the stick? approx.) This wheel also fights your inputs when you go over bumps,rumble strips,lose traction,get understeer it really is an amazing immersive experience. ( no more falling asleep with controller in hand )
And that's without even talking about the pedals + shifter, there just is simply no comparison in enjoyment between DS3 and DFGT/G27

What I meant by that statement in my post was it seems they must have developed the game with the steering wheel as the main controller. Well, not everyone can afford to get a steering wheel, or not everyone has it. So those of us with a DS3 don't enjoy the game because they developed it for a wheel? I don't know if that's the case, but maybe they could have made a GT5 bundle that comes with a wheel?
Or let us use the motion technology in the DualShock 3's to steer the car?
I guess my main argument is that you shouldn't have to buy extra controllers or anything just to enjoy a game that you already paid $60 for...

QTF - Should be QFT; Quoted for truth.
I never thought I would ever buy a wheel, but lapping Suzuka with a DS3 is nothing compared to lapping it with a wheel. I don't always use the wheel, but it really does add a hell of a lot to the experience and is most certainly worth saving up for.

Same here. I never wanted to invest into a wheel myself. I was always a controller guy and felt that I managed pretty good. Well last summer I had a co-worker tell me how much fun he was having with his G25. So I went ahead and invested in a G27 and GT5P for practice until GT5 released. I even made a custom racing seat and I will say that it definitely adds to the experience. The upside to this is that the set up is for any PC or PS3 game that will support the hardware of your choice.

If the simulation works accurately wouldn't you just assume it works better with a wheel as a default? Imagine driving your real car with a DS3.
I know plenty of people using controllers that enjoy the game. Just look at our Star in a Reasonably Priced Car thread. Only two so far have used wheels. But a wheel does make it better. I got my wheel for GT4 and I can tell you that I could enjoy the game before, but it was nearly full immersion once I had the wheel.
It is not just Gran Turismo or racing/driving simulators that the peripheral thing applies to. It is any game genre where you might be willing to dedicate the majority of your gaming to it.

Exactly , everyone talks about GT6 when and where. When Kaz is more interested in GT5 which is a good thing.
I love the way Kaz owned the reporter and just said "meh i don't really care whether there was hype or not"
Also not a new interview but one many wouldn't have seen. 24 minute long but you kinda feel like you get to know Kaz better and his way of thinking. http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/01/12/interview-kazunori-yamauchi-creator-of-gran-turismo/

Hey guys does anyone have a idea when the update will be available down here in OZ,i know it`s the 18th but it might be the 17th or 19th to us down here. Any ideas? I have to lug my ps3 to my brothers place to hook it up online and don`t want to do it and find it isnt available here yet!
You're entitled to your opinion and I'd agree that it doesn't need be (or belong) in GT but I wouldn't call it "Ho Hum" racing.
43 cars on a 1/3 mile track is pretty much all action all the time.
Many Americans don't really care for F1 (but everybody best respect their skills) because there is very little 'overtaking'. NASCAR also gets my vote for best in-person racing because usually you can see most or all of the track. Non-oval racing leaves a lot to the imagination when you're at the track, esp. if you don't have a portable TV/Radio.

Not sure where you all are getting the notion that I'm comparing NASCAR to F1. You don't even know me jack nor do you know what type of racing I follow.
Sure I do follow and like F1,....and WRC....and LeMans.....and GT racing....and DTM....and BTCC......and our grassroots racing here in the US via the SCCA.
And THAT'S why I think NASCAR is boring.
