GTXLR,
Glad to hear you like the G25. I'm using the DFPro right now, but have my eye on the G25 as it appears to be a more realistic set-up. I'm happy with the feel of the DFPro and the force feedback, but again, I like the more robust looking set-up of the G25 with the realistic shifter and clutch peddal.
The only concern I have in buying the G25 is the lack of any Force Feedback for GT4. Has no FFb made any difference in your game as far as cornering ability, lap times, or even fine tuning the car?
Thanks
The Feedback issue should be fixed soon, now Immersion and Sony have anew deal!👍
The G25 is a big leap in terms of control, its much smoother movement and larger wheel, feel much more realistic, it enables me to be more precise.
I dont have a PS3 yet in the uk, but since i got the G25 have gone back to GT4, a new, on my PS2, so far im only going through the license tests, but instantly ive found it possible to hugely improve my consistancy and times, often trouncing golds by quite large margins.(all gold first 4 licenses so ar) the quality of the wheel is matched with the vastly superior pedals, my old DFP pedals suffered regularly with the common fault, requiring much time dismantling.
The first benefit to me of the pedals is the move to right foot braking/accelerating as opposed to using both feet with the old DFP, this to me gives greater control as the lift off in moving to brake makes very subtle difference to the balance physics , the bonus is im learning to heel toe too.
The pedals are very solid, and the resistance in the brake pedal is excellent.
The forcefeedback is much better than the DFP, it doesnt feel as violent with the bigger wheel with the setting on high, and the nuances of grip balance and weight transfer are much more distinguishable to me now,ive been able to slipslide my way round the grand canyon so much better and with complete control in the slides, something i couldnt consistantly keep up with my DFP.
Im loving my G25 setup, im even re visiting TOCA3, surprised to find so many still online (look out for Lumpster).
Redoak, i feel what you say. Fingers crossed that somehow Turn10 can get the drivers for the G25 into Forza2, please microsoft!!! Ive even bought the Microsoft wireless wheel, but in comparison to the G25 it feels so flimsy, the feedback is lame, and it feels like it may break as soon as it gets any serious use. It would be a huge Plus to be able to hook up the G25 with FM2 this summer, My xbox360 deserves it
