I've played it for a bit, if you're not sure whether to buy it or you can ask me anything and I'll glady help you out.

How is the handling, like is there steering lag or is it precise. If you don't know steering lag is when you move your analog stick and it takes time for the game to respond to that action.

Thanks:dopey:
 
Is the FFB better than Shift 1? (Assuming you are using the wheel) How does the wheel feel in the center? Is it tight or loose like Shift 1?
 
How does the racing feel?I'm not talking about the handling of the cars either.

Does it keep you on the edge of your seat like they have advertised it would do?
 
A few folk have reported it's very easy even on hard difficulty when you have upgraded your car, you finding the same?
 
The only deal breaker (sp?) for me would be; the Force Feedback (as mentioned by FuriousDemon), prior to GT5, I owned Shift 1 & already had a DFGT...Shift1 didn't do the DFGT justice! Thus, I traded in the game. :(

If the DFGT/FF is up to GT5 standards (or better than Shift1), I'll buy it!
 
I think we all have one burning question, and that's how the game feels. If the handling feels good, I'm picking it up for sure.

Fortunately for us Aussies, it doesn't get released here for another 2 days, which gives me time to make an educated decision as to whether to buy it or not :)
 
Do people really have it already? I thought the official release date was the 29th (tomorrow). I got my pre-order confirmation call from GameStop today to pick it up tomorrow morning.

The games are already in the stores around the world, and certain people can get them out early if possible. Don't tell me you forget the leaked GT5 discs. :sly:

Damn-it.., I knew I should have flirted more with the manager at my GameStop. She was diggin on me.., but it never crossed my mind to throw a little back for possibly getting an early copy :dunce: She was also freakin hot too.
 
how do you select manual? appears to be stuck in auto and cant find transmission option anywhere.

edit: lol nevermind

Really? It told me there was no in-store pickup for this game! Obviously there's a disconnect here.
 
Alright Ill answer as quickly as I can since I have to run to the buss in like 10 minutes.

The game is amazing. It really is. The feel of the driving is the best I've ever experienced in a game.

The handling is very sensitive, making slight adjustments is quite hard as the tail pops out quite alot.

They've imporved the damage system ALOT. I've uploeded a video so you all can see:

My Driving Force GT broke down yesterday so I couldn't use it. :( Gonna try again today.

All in all, this game is frikkin awesome. The new helmet cam is quite disorienting (imagine your view shifts side to side while inside the car, makes it quite wierd to turn) but it's still awesome.

All due respect to GT5 (I love it aswell) but it doesn't even come close to beating the driving feel of Shift 2 Unleashed.

Sorry for short reply!
 
Ill have to wait another two days before im able to pick this one up (whih im fairly sure i will).

I would just love to hear what the multiplayer has to offer though. I know about the autolog, which isnt doing it for me tbh. But the races, are they just quick one-shot races or can u do some kind of tournament/league/series?

And what options is there for online, is it true you cant force handling and aids difficulty in online? If true, its just soo bad...
 
Yes I'd like to know about online multiplayer too. If it's a random lobby system like in Shift 1, I'll be giving this game a wide berth
 
How cool is the disc artwork? And do(es) the RX-7(s) come in that stange blue green that has been on them since underground 2? Random questions, but you opened that door... and that colour is one i really like. Lol

The FF is beyond my expectation, you can feel the gap between slabs of concrete on the road surface.

What system, what wheel?

Maybe a good idea for people to state this when stating opinions.
