SMS acquired the Indianapolis 500 and the Dallara-built DW12 open wheeler license.

Not my cup of tea either but I will still really enjoy some oval racing with the real car and real track instead of using poor substitutes and faking it. A real coup for SMS

 

[Johnnypenso]

Who is this tidux guy, does he have some connection with either of the two companies? Or just a random dude posting stuff as fact on the interwebz?

Found this:

Well known industry insider Thuway and Tidux has shared pretty interesting details regarding next-gen consoles war between Xbox One and Playstation 4. On May 15, Tidux in a hidden tone teased some improvements coming to Playstation 4 in future...blah..blah...blah...

And this:

These industry insiders [Thuway and Tidux] have pretty good track record of leaking information way before its official announcement, so we just can't completely ignore them.

Logitech and Sony are working together to get wheels support
https://twitter.com/Tidux/status/469599420842258432

Sony shooootss and scores! Yet another goal for Sony. Where people who bought an 500-800€ wheel for X360 feel raped from MS with the Xbox One. I feel sorry for them. And I am not trolling. I sold my GT3 wheel and bought an GT2 only for X360 and FM4. But after FM4 I decided that I am pretty happy with GT and dont need Forza. Its not my thing.

You're forgetting my Forza Motorsports CSR wheel will run on PS4 then also probably ,price is 200 bucks for that one though.

If all wheels eventually work fine on PS4, it might prevent me building a pc this year seeing PCARS will run fine on it and AC is rumored to be thinking about a PS4 port also.

By the time those 2 will arrive you probably will be able to pick up a PS4 for 300 €, which is half of what i would have to spend on a pc that can match it's stats.

My words, I also was going to build an PC for 500-600€. But I asked here how Pcars will work on an middle range PC and the answer was that it will work not very well. That was it for me. I´ll get it for my 400€ console instead of building an 1000€ PC. I can pass that few mods they will come on PC.

 

[mister dog]

I mailed the link to Fanatec
(Know it's just a rumor, but the more people stalk them about it the better).

There is nothing wrong with that logic. I went for the expensive build a PC option though, as there are other great PC sims too such as Assetto Corsa that I wanted to race with, plus I've always wanted a good PC.

 

[Myles Prower]

So apparently the PCARS DW-12 will be Honda powered?

AC on PS4 (rumored) and wheel compatibility would make it a done deal for me.

Don't know where you read that, hasn't been stated as far as I can see. Also, there is more to come in regards to this deal....

 

[wicken]

Indeed.

Yes, we have full rights to the series, all the cars, teams and best of all OFFICIAL INDY500 SPONSOR, so its an officially endorsed product. You cant get better than that!

Let me just say that there's more to come soon from this license announcement.

The word 'tracks' comes to mind.

 

[Samus]

Shouldn't really post those quotes here @wicken .

It's on the public section of the forums so there is no harm on that.

 

[Myles Prower]

I read those quotes on the public part of the WMD forum

 

[Samus]

Ah, forgot that section is public. Carry on.

IndyCar means more than just ovals.
Also I am 100% sure you'll be able to drive the cars on whatever track you want.

...AC is rumored to be thinking about a PS4 port also.

Really? Now that is interesting! I can't imagine GT surviving for very long if there were 2 great full on sim racers to choose from on PS4, that would then make GT a 3rd rate game.

 

[FuzzyFassbender]

I sure wouldn't bank on that rumor, they are a very small development team with a long way to go on the PC. Your chances are much better with the lottery, or GT7 next month

PC is the best choice, but if AC would come to PS4 i would save half the money and effort, and still be able to play the 2 racing games on it that are on top of my wishlist.

I have the luxury of having time on my side; PCARS is only for the end of the year and with a bit of luck by then we will have certainty about wheel compatibility and whether or not AC is coming.

It's only a rumor...

let's hope that is more than a rumor 👍

GT has built up such a huge following from the casual crowd that PCars & AC would only make a small dent.

That may have have been true in 2010; Now? Not so sure.
