The more the better - always wanted to try this 👍 I spent the money to get a full sim set have my T300 with TH8a and WSP arriving tomorrow and T3PA-pros arriving later this month. Was thinking I might be building a PC next year with part of my tax return.. but if there are enough good racing games on PS4 (looks like there will be) and I still don't have the room for triple screens.. seems like there will not be a need.

I hope that the guys from Kunos pay attention to the utter mess that pCARS' beta release is rigth now, specially on consoles.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, Gran Turismo is dead.

About time. Smart business and good economics bringing it to console. Now I just need ARMA to come to the PS4 and I'll want no longer.

I don't think that will be necessary, although that doesn't mean they won't do it of course
It takes some getting used to if you are coming straight from console games to AC like I did, but the "getting used to" part is more of de-programming bad habits learned from inaccurate physics. Things like braking hard with ABS on, deep into corners while the car remains almost perfectly balanced. Fairly easy in some games, you can drive most of the time just burying the brake pedal at will, extremely tricky in AC because brakes-on pitches weight onto the front tires, and so long as you don't exceed the grip threshold and transition into understeer, you will have immediate oversteer from the added front grip. In AC you just adapt by using real world driving techniques like doing most of your braking in a straight line and conservatively using the brakes to balance the car on entry and mid-corner just like you would in real life. When you get the hang of it, you find you have so much control over the car and you rarely get surprised by anything because the FFB really gives you so much information about what is happening with the car. It has the best "connected to the road" feeling I've ever experienced in any game, ever.CodeRedR51

The Dev's have already said they won't dumb the physics down as it's their major selling point.
I just had to unlearn a couple of things GT taught me to get used to AC. It didn't take long and now I find it pretty easy to drive quite fast (I'm no alien)

I don't get the "sense of speed" comments in any sim. Sense of speed mostly comes from FOV does it not? It's fully adjustable. It also has fully adjustable motion blur, at least in the current version. Also fully adjustable g-force affected head movements and camera shake in cockpit. Also in the current version, FOV is adjustable on the fly with a pop up menu while driving. What is missing from this list that helps with sense of speed

AC just seemed really slow & dull to me (was in a GTR on The Nord at the time). I don't think sense of speed can be as easily quantified as being just FOV & motion blur etc. For example, DC has a great sense of speed (even in dash view), but I can't say exactly why that is. GT not such a great sense of speed, unless in Normal View.

All of the adjustable settings that @Johnnypenso mentioned do make a huge difference though. Even changing the FOV alone back in GT5 made an enormous difference in my opinion.
You really can set everything to mimic real life very accurately and you can easily change things to be very gamey too.
I would hope for the console players that all of the settings that can be tweaked on PC transition over to the console versions, more driving games really need to make adjustable seat, camera and effect options a standard.

But it is just FOV, motion blur and the other things, although AC's lack of crowds and other race atmosphere details might have something to do with it. DC just happened to make that a priority in their game so the default settings are the best mix for sense of speed. In a sim it's left up to you to put things together the way you want them either towards a more realistic feel or something more gamelike as Lewis suggests.
