For the most part the pedals make a bigger difference than the wheel. I'm slower using DFGT in GT5 not because of the wheel (a little noisy that's all) but the pedals especially brakes. After getting use to G27 nixim brake mod and CSP it's hard to go back to DFGT pedals. I really like what I've see so far . If the pedals are good this will make it worth the extra cost.
P.S One thing I like about G27 pedals over CSP is the pedals themselves are curved while CSP are flat and rough. I don't care for it gas pedal either. Here I see a nice curved pedals. Looks very promising.
Still I wouldn't waste money on this wheel just for one game but those of us who races on PC as well this could be a deal.

DFGT wheel FFB is too slow as well, it's not as fast as a real cars wheel. Makes it hard to drift properly
We haven't see the Gearbox add on yet, which is most likely way better than the Logitechs

I'm not really interested in a shifter especially for PC as there are nice one already on the market. Plus Fanatec is coming out with CS shifter as well. Shifter are slower than paddles anyways so it nice to see this wheel has a nice set of paddles.DFGT wheel FFB is too slow as well, it's not as fast as a real cars wheel.

Unfortunately I can't see this costing about as much as the Logitech G27.
It looks like the 500$ figure Yamauchi gave was correct

Not about speed, more about fun
Especially if it has a nice rifle bolt feel and not some dinky toy like thing

Don't give up yet. It was stated in Japan G27 went for $450 so it may be in G27 price range.Unfortunately I can't see this costing about as much as the Logitech G27.

- WTF? Is that like a PSP?
ARRRGGGHHH...only 1 inch diameter larger than my Tonka-sized G25 wheel?!?! DAMMIT, I thought one of their intents with this thing was REALISM. Apparently, not so much. Maybe everyone who develops steering wheel controllers drives a low rider with a smaller, welded chain link steering wheel and that's what they think standard size is?
Apart from that MAJOR gripe of mine, it looks rather epic. Now, the question is: WHEN?!?!?!?! Oh, and WHERE TO GET?!?!?!
Me want! Give, give! Now, now! Mine, mine!

I know, but this looks much better than the G27.
I doubt it will cost less than that.
- 160
maybe not less but hopefully somewhere in the ball park. + $50 or so wouldn't bother me too much.
if it does end up being $500, long as it's good as it looks, I'd still most likely get it.
might have to budget a few things around but dang that wheel looks nice.
one cavet though... proper stand must be available for it. (if it does not attach to wheelstandpro or fanatac stand)

Honestly, with the announcement of this new wheel, anyone want to take a stab at the chances of us getting an update for full G27 support? I could get one for Christmas, but I'm not sure it's worth it if it's not fully supported.

But surely that just requires you to set it up in the options?
Oh so the buttons on the actual wheel don't work?

I haven't really looked at the wheel options. If I recall correctly however, there isn't any options for the G27. So how would one go about setting it up?
No, the buttons don't work
With the G25 you were able to use the Driving Force Pro settings to adjust, I guessed it would be the same for the G27.

Im so getting this!
Now whos as anxious as me for a PS4 and GT6
By the way, whats up with the 2 pedal options?
When we buy the wheel and the shifter, are we going to have to choose between those 2 pedal setups, or is it just one pedal unit, which we will be able to configure to our likings? - As in, driving regular roads car - racing race cars - Pedal setup?

Why are the arms of the pedals plastic??? This is high end right?
edit//Maybe they just look plastic they weigh more than fanatec clubsports. But those are aluminum.
The wheel looks nice though I like the paddles on the base.
1080 degree Rotation. That sounds great for that bus simulator mode that Kaz wanted for gt5.

If the G27 doesn't become fully supported soon, I'll defenitaly be getting this. Will it be comptable with a Playseat Evolution?
Seriously they look like metal to you?

Why would metal pedals need those cross supports. It would be cheaper to just fold out flat sheets like the g27.
