Yeah true. I got a very good deal on my g29 when I bought it, but at 240 it's too expensive (bought it for 165). But the t150 is a solid choice to start out with, and you can always upgrade down the line.

So waiting for a good deal for the g29 might be worth it?
I´m still a bit undecided if it´s really worth the investment, it´s a pity that i dont know anybody with a wheel to try it out ^^

For anyone picking up a T300, make sure to get a warranty. Lots of horror stories when it first released.
The pedals on mine are getting that brownish rusty look as well. Stunning wheel other than that.

Balancing will be done by PD with their Balance of Performance system. It'll be applied automatically in Sport mode, but I think it'll be available also in other modes (lobbies, arcade?) because you can select "BoP (Oval), or ‘BoP (Circuit)' from a pull down menu in the car settings.
For post launch support I'm expecting free tracks because the current list is very thin (which is a much bigger problem than car list or career mode, but whatever) and surely they don't want to split the userbase...
I'm also expecting car packs done by groups, so something like "Group C cars", "Super GT cars", etc. all with their BoP. Would be even better if there was 1 free car for each group - again in order not to split the userbase with new online events.

F1 is part of FIA regulation. Every car has to adhere to strict rules and regulations every year. This includes body design dimensions and engine power. The purpose of this is balance and fairness in a race, none of these cars are clearly better. How good an F1 cars reliability and performance is based a lot on skills of the engineering team. Oh and vital milliseconds by driver skill (but that's the same as playing a game).

I am well aware by the regulations, but manufacturers are constantly trying to get ahead of the competition while still sticking to the rules by playing with aerodynamics and power delivery of the engines. Two engines making the same amount of power doesn't mean they deliver the power the same way. See how Alonso couldn't cone close to Vettel and the others this championship, apart from engine failures he simply couldn't keep up.

Very true, which is why I said it's the skills of the engineering team and driver that shave milliseconds off qualifying times for the leader on the track to pole. There are minor differences in design of Redbull to Ferrari, and of course Mercedes in best way they see fit, but there is still no clear better car. Also by that logic, Bottas should be right behind Hamilton, both Mercedes cars same performance, as a Ferrari and McLaren Honda are clearly different according to you. It's down to the the driver and setup they choose for the race in these situations as Vandoorne was far better placed.
GT Sport allows you to to make adjustments for yourl race anyway to make faster lap times, like downforce etc outside of the BOP system. If you're unsure the stuff thats locked is yellow, blue can be changed during qualifying if need be or before, or can save custom sheets.

I think F1 is perhaps the worst example of a series where "none of these cars are clearly better." Just ask Fernando Alonso
You didn't like the ad for GT6 PS4?! Shocked not shocked.Nice of you to keep everyone up to date though. Not buying it, slag off at every turn, yet still keep us informed of things 8). That's quite an obsession.
I moved recently so I just put together my T300 + wheelstand pro again to play some Forza Horizon 3. That just got me more pumped to play GT Sport when it comes out. I really hope this game will be a great overall package (since I have it pre-ordered). Even with Forza games finally coming to PC, the microtransaction horror stories of Forza 7 will probably mean that I'll just stick to GT Sport for the near future.
I can't see them charging for tracks, especially as they need as many as possible for FIA events.

Are these real life footage? My word, never saw the people in the background before and they move so lifelike too.
Man, those 90 days of polish is bringing GTS to all sorts of levels. PD said they never had such time to polish a title and it's showing. This seems to be eclipsing Motorstorm Pacific Rift in the amount of polish it received from demo to final release....
Best looking/most realistic graphics in a racer by far. All they have to do right now is show some weather and ensure the framerate is great..
ATD ladies and gents, like I have been saying ATD....

Yup. F1 is probably many times more massive than all other FIA sanctioned series combined so it has leverage that other series don't and won't (like Gran Turismo).I think F1 is perhaps the worst example of a series where "none of these cars are clearly better." Just ask Fernando Alonso

The new wheel is called the T-GT
http://www.gran-turismo.com/us/news/00_8907168.html
It retails for $800...
Two friends who I regularly swap track times with have ducked out on buying this at launch, which is really killing my buzz. It's sort of like a tradition with GT games for us. We don't even really keep in touch all that much in real-life since we've gotten older, but they're so into the racing scene it's kind of been our thing. This is aggravating.

Are they out of their minds? Who are they expecting to sell this wheel to?

It's a direct drive wheel to my knowledge. Direct Drive wheels for PC go for $1000-$1500 right now. More for the hardcore Sim fans.
Edit:
I can get a beater in Los Angeles for less than the cost of X1S + Forza 7. What's your point?

You can buy a driveable, but maybe really old and high mileage car for that price in the UK. Get a real steering wheel and pedals 👌 (and the rest of the car).
17 days until this
Is that from a in engine replay or from the intro?

Oh then never mind. That's an insane price for a belt drive!

My bad!

I am not saying the price point isnt justified for the hardware. But that price point is for high income hardcore sim racing fans, and those are going to be playing better simulators in very expensive PCs.

FH3 on PC or did you find a way to use that wheel on your Xbox?
Kinda sucks I need to buy a wheel and can't decide to get a PS4 or Xbox compatible wheel.
Replay
You sure about that? the car seems to go into slow motion as it whips back onto the road as if the video was post processed.

It is replay from the beta and indeed it is post processed by SunshiLegend in order to create this gif.

It's edited with a few layers of post-processing by Sunhilegend, including the artificial slow-mo. I love his short-form stuff, but I have mixed feelings seeing it used to promote games "as gameplay." It's like an artistic bullshot. He's got a crazy-good eye for moments, edited or otherwise.
It's a SunhiLegend gif, made from replay and then edited to add effects like the slow-mo drift.
The dude has got a serious gift for making games look good. Your replays? They won't look like that.

It's really not when you compare it to something like a Fanatic Clubsport WB V2.5 at $500 where you get no wheel or pedals. The price soon mounts up adding those components. There's a lot of nice features in this wheel & pedal set.
http://www.isrtv.com/thrustmaster/thrustmaster-t-gt-wheel-announced-need-know/
But it is for hardcore sim racers, that's who it's aimed at just like Direct Drive wheels bases which is just another crazy level of cost. DD units are $800-$900 starting price for just a base right now. Though it'll be interesting to see the price on the one Fanatec are working on but I doubt it'll be cheaper than the Clubsport.

These are 3 GIF's I made from the replays in the beta. No fancy edits/post processing. Only thing I changed was cut the top and bottom off the GIF to give it a wider looking aspect ratio without the replay symbols (it's actually this aspect ratio in replays but with black bars), these are camera angles and shots you'll get from GT Sport during replays. They've probably improved a bit since the beta also.

Best post I've seen in a GT thread thus far about Sport.
I regret not getting into GT6 now that I know where we are going with the series, but a man had to abandon the PS3 platform after 7 years of abuse with that OS.
Best wishes.

I feel like tracking times/stats with the community/friends is what GTS will excel at.
I agree. Not to take away anything from them, since they do look gorgeous, but they are in a way dishonest, creating a greater sense of graphical/stylistic quality that just isn't present when you actually play it. I still love them, but yeah, HZD simply never looked as good when I played it as it did in his gifs.

Because many(most?) people won't want to play two campaigns so then you have the age old problem of player bases being split. And with the SR system, players are already being split to begin with.
In GT5&6, the online was a sort of end game where people show off the fruits of their collectathon and have a random race around a random track. GTS seems to be aiming for something much more involving and comprehensive than that.

For those of you who want something in the quality range of the G29 but are put off by the price, G27 should be dirt cheap at the moment if you can find them and I've had great success using it on PS4 with a self-built GIMX adapter. The FFB is perfect, just as if it was natively supported, and everything just works. Tried it with F1 2016, Driveclub and Dirt Rally and it's always perfect. I'm assuming that'll be the case with GTS as well since the PS4 detects it as a G29.
Forza 7 may be a fantastic looking game, but it still looks like a game. Somehow gimmicky and like toy cars on a toy circuit. And that's mostly down to lighting.
But GT Sport? Damn, that looks fine as hell. It always astonishes me how realistic the lighting looks in this game. Some replays really feel very lifelike.
If we could have a Forza with the graphics of GT it would probably be the best racing game of all time.

Lexus LC500 confirmed
And a nice look at the final version of the Tokyo track
https://youtu.be/jKeF6dzSk8U?t=1783
PD worked some magic on that compared to the beta. Their city tracks usually look fantastic, but for whatever Tokyo looked rather bland in the beta. Now it looks like what you'd hope for.

It's only dishonest if it's used to advertise GT Sport by Polyphony, and them saying it's real time.
As it stands, it's just a fan creating GIFs of his favourite moments.
I'm not sure why some of you are so pissed about it really. It's pathetic actually.
