Flo_Evans said:In most race series it is banned. Really tricky with the controller though, I will wait till full game is out so I can adjust the sensitivity.
I was also thinking of taking apart one of my old controllers and installing a tougher spring on the left trigger..... :lol
RSTEIN said:Yeah :lol I raced with the Mini and R8 with ABS on. Then I turned the ABS off with the Flying Lizard. I was in for a very rude awakening on the first turn
TheHeretic said:I can't even drive the flying lizard without plowing into walls, its way too punishing. Even exiting the start up line sends you into a complete loss of grip if you punch the throttle.

I have rev1 of the wheel that I bought for dirt cheap on ebay, works great. I really couldn't imagine playing this game without a wheel.sneaky77 said:Does the microsoft wheel work well for this game?

I was the same way. I went out and got a Microsoft wheel and I am very pleased with it. It works very well. I'm still probably better with a controller but the wheel feels very responsive and adds a different element to the game. I say go for it.sneaky77 said:Does the microsoft wheel work well for this game?

jaydogg691 said:So I was playing the demo last night and it makes me rethink that I should have played this game with the controller at E3. Playing with the controller is really good and I think the need for a steering wheel might be a second thought for me. I did some time trials with R8 and the GT3 and got some good results (placed in the top 2%). I'm really impressed and can't wait until launch.
skyfinch said:I actually have the Microsoft wheel in my closet, just too lazy to set it up. Of all the games I used it on (PGR3, PGR4, Forza 2) I've clocked in better times with the standard controller. Don't ask me why, though.
TheHeretic said:Oh Jesus. Yeah driving without ABS is pretty insane, you really have to be careful with the brakes. Is there a technical advantage to not using ABS or is it just an automated system driving competitions frown upon?
jabipun said:You'd be surprised at how many people clock in better times with a controller over a wheel.
TheHeretic said:As far as realism goes is turning off ABS actually realistic anymore? Playing without it is definitely harder but do real race drivers ever go without it?
TheHeretic said:For some reason i've always played these types of games in Automatic. I'm not a big racing fan, and when I do play driving games they are arcade, though I think Forza 3 and eventually GT5 might be the excuse I need to get into the genre.
I drive manual in real life but the switching of gears is a lot more hectic in a racing game and for whatever reason I never bothered to give manual a shot. The first race I played in manual, in Class C with full realism barring ABS and medium opponents gave me a win, shaved 2 seconds off my time and put me in the top 13% of drivers. It was also a lot more strategic (I found myself making some rookie mistakes too high gear going up a hill, was actually losing speed :lol , i'd never do that IRL) AND entertaining.
There's no other way to play it really.
Can't be as we have 60fps cockpits in the demo.soujiro_seta said:Is this demo the one from E3?

NeoGIF said:I think the Demo is absolutely amazing. I had to pry myself away from it. The full version can't come soon enough. Well done, Turn 10.
schuey7 said:The fujimi kaido vid is so good that I started rewatching a few Initial D episodes.:lol.Anyway the demo is sweet and I really had no problems with jaggies.
imtehman said:sO GAF, help me make the right choice.
I can get either the $329 Porsche wheel that comes with shifter and pedals or get the MS official wheel and SF4 tournament edition stick.
Which would you get?

Diablohead said:Lot's of people found no ABS in forza 2 bad? I never or hardly ever locked up by brakes with ABS off, it was forza 1 with the broken brakes which with abs off, would lock at 10% :lol
reaver18 said:man im disappointed. after playing the new need for speed my expectations were very high. sadly need for speed blows this game away. I don't feel like I'm in the car in this game. something need for speed excels at. graphics are disappointing. it feels like the game was rushed. just my first opinions, not trying to troll.

That sense of speed you're talking about... that's in arcade racing games. This is a simulation.
imtehman said:so one of my xbox's came back from repair, and it had a new serial number and on the back says Service Date:2009/09/20
System looks brand new, my question is, is it new and are teh Elites Jasper?
I ask here because the x360 repair thread is useless
