Bought Driving Force GT for GT5 and I was having a great time. Does this wheel work as good in Project Cars? I loved force feedback in GT5.

PC version ofc.

I don't know about GT5, but DFGT works pretty well with this game. Specially if you mod your pedals :-D

Still, you'll be missing the joy of H shiting (the joy of losing ground because the gear didn't enter xD)

So how are the default controls on the PS4? I remember that NfS Shift had it all wrong and you had to tweak the dead zones etc. yourself. I'd also like to play with as many assists off as possible using a gamepad.

Had my first race, ran pretty good did notice a little tearing in one part but overall seemed to run smoothly. To say it's only running at 900p the IQ is pretty damn clean which I'm glad with. I hate games that have piss poor IQ.

Trying another race now with rain and 35 cars and only 2 laps in out of 6 so the rain hasn't kicked in yet but I started with Haze and will finish in a Thunderstorm so lets see how the ending goes.

Noticed a few people complaining elsewhere in regards to the xbox one version. Saying frame rate issues and juddering especially on corners. Is this true?

Can some that have had the game on PC list the graphical effects that are CPU driven. It is likely the weak point in my rig (i5 3.5 ghz and gtx 970). Might help me get to optimum settings quickly instead of fiddiling around with them. thanks.

As every other game: shadows, LOD (car quality and track quality) and reflections. GPU effects are resolution, Antialiasing, motion blur, Aniso, env. quality.

I'm gonna hold of on buying this for now, the reviews seem good but i have an R9 280x and the benchmarks that are around really don't inspire confidence (a 660ti beating an R9 290x for example).

Hopefully its a driver issue and is quickly fixed, but no way will i be buying this until something is done for AMD cards, if the benchmarks are correct its flat out broken for AMD cards IMO.

I've been playing it with a 280x and can't remember any major performance issues lately, though I haven't been able to play much in the past few months or looked at benchmarks. I'll try to test it tomorrow and see what kind of settings I have been using. Sucks that AMD hasn't been very good at providing up to date drivers lately.

So the lovely guys at Gamersyde just had a PS4 livestream with Andy Tudor:

http://www.twitch.tv/gamersyde/v/4756621

Among many questions they asked whether Logitech wheel support for the PS4 version is possible in the future. (at 49:30)

The answer from Andy: "Our list of supported wheels are not final, please hang in there [laughs]... We have the answer, but we just can't tell it right now".

That's positive, right? :)

Edit: damn you Steiner :p

Can´t find the game on PS Store at all. No Preloadind, not at "coming soon" section, no media.... What's going on?
US store?

It's been addressed...when they moved back the release date, in the process of going gold they missed the deadline to secure a spot on the US Store for a Pre-order/preload...

So you'll have to grab it on release day..BUT they did confirm that the digital version will include BOTH the modified car pack (Pre-order) and the limited edition car pack (there is no physical limited edition in the US so its the only way to get those cars)

Sony making them hold back until they announce more wheel support at E3 alongside GT7.

Tales from my ass.

Yep. So long as that platform is PC.


Consoles update whenever the hell they feel like. I seriously doubt the PS4/XB1 will be at midnight exactly. Even then it doesn't look like there's even preloading.

UK has pre-load and does say midnight but I thought that it was the 8th. Shame mine still has 6hrs downloading to do :-( PSN is so slow right now!!!

Try changing your MTU on the PS4 to 1473.

I was getting a very slow download, googled this, made the change, now it's maxing my connection.

So this being the first game I've preordered on PSN I didn't realise that the ps4 wouldn't turn itself on automatically to download the game. I turned it on around 8:30 pm tonight and it started downloading immediately, there was the day one patch, a 3.8GB file and now its doing a 19.9GB file. Will I be able to start the game at midnight off of just the 3.8GB file?
19.9GB file showing 7 hours til completion!

I think there's a race/single circuit and car unlocked.
