club_card Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) My Xbox is for Street Fighter, bought PS3 for GT5, and my Alienware awaits Cataclysm! Bring it on. On gt 5 prologue I use the two sticks left for steering and the right for aceleratrion/braking and the L1 L2 for gear changing I hope this is still possible on the new one. Oops I quoted the wrong person. Edited November 25, 2010 by club_card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 That's the thing, I don't understand why people use buttons for acceleration. How can you modulate the throttle? Its either on or off, which for a driving sim, isn't a good particularly simulation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been playing GT5 aaallll day, this game by far kills any other racer out there.. And yes, i have played Forza 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leistonbmx Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 He was obviously talking about x as the accelerator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its either on or off, which for a driving sim, isn't a good particularly simulation... You used to be able to modulate with X on PS2 controllers. It was one of the reasons my mate used to occasionally beat me on GT3, he would never let me use the Sony controller and always gave me the shitty aftermarket one!

ManxTrialSpaz Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Yeah, all of the buttons on a dualshock controller have a limited analogue characteristic to them but it's still bloody difficult when compared to using the L/R 2 buttons or the sticks.

Leistonbmx Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 which is why xbox controllers are better . I find them soo much more comfortable too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 The dual shock is classic, no doubt about it. And i can't see it being beaten. The Xbox still has that awefull dpad still. The buttons are very modulative i found. But guess it doesn't matter since GT isn't going near the xbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leistonbmx Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Evil controllers released a revised d-pad. As did other aftermarket cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran Morrison Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 GT5 is great, I just don't kniow which view to do in my car the cockpit view, or the one where your at the bottom of the car and you can only see the road. Anybody got past level 20 on this yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarf Shortage Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 GT5 is great, I just don't kniow which view to do in my car the cockpit view, or the one where your at the bottom of the car and you can only see the road. Anybody got past level 20 on this yet? I hate both those views. I can only play driving games with the camera behind the car, else I pure fail.

eskimo Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 I knew i shouldn't have bought Black Ops. I think that's it for COD until they sort out their severe problems. Can i get a review of Halo Reach multiplayer? The few Amazon ones i read just covered single player. I never got into Halo 3 multiplayer but played Halo 2 online solidly for a year or so.

forteh Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 I hate both those views. I can only play driving games with the camera behind the car, else I pure fail. This. What you need is trackIR or freetrack (if youre feeling creative and fancy a bit of DIY), unfortunately its not available for consoles so that sucks. Being able to look out the side windows by turning your head makes it so immersive its unreal, helps with flying aswell See PCs are so much better for playing games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 For the dude asking about Halo:Reach multiplayer review; if you liked halo 2, you will like it. Its really good. Only thing is you're a mile behind everyone else now. Will be a steep learning curve... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Cheapest place to get Black Ops online? Either for 360 or PC, not sure which I'll need yet. It's for my bro for xmas. I saw it in PC World/Currys for £32.99. I have to say PC World/Currys have turned a corner on their prices they used to be a rip off but they have been very competitive lately.

forteh Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 GT5 uses the PS3 eye to give you this feature Thats cool! Thinking about it, Im using an old ps2 eyetoy for my freetrack setup Does it track head movements alone or do you need to wear a head tracking device (hat with reflective tabs or IR leds)?

Leistonbmx Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Surely if you're turning your head infront of the tv, it doesn't matter what shows on the screen? Unless of course you have multiple screens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course you have multiple screens. Not sure how the PS3 eye system works but with trackIR/freetrack on the PC it allows you to freelook constantly (assuming the game supports it). It means whilst driving/flying you can turn your head to look out the side windows or behind you (depending on setup) and for fps you can look over your shoulder without needing to turn (independant of where youre aiming), limited use for most fps games but for milsims like arma if youre laying concealed in some grass the less movement you make the better with regards to the enemy spotting you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 This. I find using the low angle view allows me to get a better judge on where I need to be braking for a corner and where my chances are for an overtake. Any of the other views obscure what I can see which is a massive ball ache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
