GT5 Without A Steering Wheel Is Useless

[TwIsTeD_83]

It's not uselles but with a wheel the game plays on another level

I've been playing GT5 with the Move controller for nearly a year now. For the most part, steering with it is definitely more responsive than using the wheel.

So have you used a wheel? Or are you just making this up? Do you get lots of forced feedback?

Wouldn't exactly say that.

Reason i say that. You do not feel the feedback. Also can you turn the wheel 900 degrees? And lastly can you cut your wheels all the way over while driving

Errr, it's probably a good idea if you test a 900 Degree wheel first and compare it. I doubt that it's more responsive than using the wheel. Does the controller shake??

No poll? Amateurs! *speaking of the thread starter* lol

No poll? Amateurs! *speaking of the thread starter* lol

The original post doesn't seem to be intended to elicit a variety of opinions and discussion on the subject. It appears to be much more for the purpose of declaring that everyone should simply accept the fact that GT5 is an wholly different game than its ancestors and that it has very little value when not using a wheel.

So adding a poll would seem rather redundant and counterproductive unless it was one of those with options like:
1 - Yes! GT5 is too serious and lifelike to be played with a little joystick!
2 - Yes! You can't compete with wheels on DS3 so there's no reason to play with one!
3 - I'm too poor or old-fashioned to get a wheel.

That's understandable, but I was looking for a simpler poll. An "I agree" and "I disagree" poll.

And to be clear, I didn't mean to convey any ill-feelings toward the thread starter.

I really didn't mean to show any ill-will either, though I suppose it could be seen that way. Just having a bit of fun as I think I've been here for a little too long and seen a little too much a few too many times. It really doesn't seem like the sort of opening post that is looking for varying opinions though.

I may have been trying to avoid going to work for five more minutes too...

I disagree as I stated earlier, but I have no problem with anyone having their opinion.

I mean "unless you have a wheel GT5 is not enjoyable" statement I disagree with. Some really do have fun without a wheel. I did too before i had a wheel. Would I ever go back to a controller? No just no. Specially won't even go back to a DFGT. Too many advantages/capabilities to the G27 (or wheels with clutch and H-Pattern shifters) that you cannot do with the controller/DFGT that going backwards would ruin the driving experience for me.

 

[rzeosz]

SOMEWHAT useless. Think about it. The game GT5 is meant not to be a semi-simulation like its predecessors GT1, 2 or 3, but a full-on hardcore sim, which it kind of fails to do anyway. So, logically, what's the point of a supposedly hardcore driving simulator when it looks and sounds like the real thing but doesn't FEEL control-wise like the real thing without a steering wheel?. Also, supposedly, according to some, playing GT5 with a steering wheel is easier and more fun than a controller, realism aside, anyway.

Load of cobblers.

So true with a Logitech G27 it just completely changes everything.

AH! So then, you and I are very alike. At least where this thread is concerned. Pretty sure I agree with most of the things you post in the GT sections as well. Just fyi.

Peace and love, peace and love. lol I don't know.

I don't have much to say except for that GT games aren't made for "sim racers" and "sim racers" only. To each their own, so why would playing GT5 with a DS3 be a pointless way of "playing". I use quotation marks too often .

/thread


To me, it's as simple as that.

GT5 Without A Steering Wheel Is Useless
is the biggest true i read here in the gtplanet!!

 

[Lock2Lock]

I feel that the wheels are more useless than the DS3 in this case.

Haters gonna Hate.

The DS3 is far more versatile than the Wheel.

The term useless is a little extreme I give you that. But for starters I am not hating on you or anyone with a DS3 for that matter. Just am going to provide some insight for you.

How do you say wheels are more useless? Fail to see the logic there.

==================
900 degree Wheels with clutch and H-Pattern capabilities.

1. Have actual feeling of the car
2. Cut the wheels all the way over whenever you want. Result is more steering through the corner than a DS3.
3. The ability to engine brake when you shift down (like a real life car).
4. Clutch being able to match RPMs while heal-toeing to make for better control of the car.
5. Not really the most important thing (but i love doing this). Being able to shut your car completely off and also having a Nuetral gear.

Just those things in my opinion is a logical and factual way of disproving your statement about which one is better and versatile than the other.

I know all that.I accept that the useless part was a little extreme

I'm not talking technical stuff,I'm talking about accessibility and general comfort.I don't care about engine starts and actual feeling,it's a game gentlemen.We don't need to make believe more than we already do.It's like making engine noises with your mouth and pretending to hold a steering wheel as a 7 year old while riding shotgun in your dad's car,you feel like it's real and it's fun to pretend,but it isn't and will never be until you get behind the actual,real,legit wheel.

The OP is the actual useless thing here,the DS3 is for the classic spartan gamer that grew up on GT and various racing games as a child.Who also can't afford a wheel (as in my case) or just prefers to use one.The wheel is for those who want that extra oomph out of the games physics and to make the illusion much more closer to reality,it isn't something to hate on.We must stop fighting over DS3 vs DFGT/G27 (the best wheel) etc.I am wrongful in the DS3 being superior in versitality so forgive me on that.

 

[Lock2Lock]

I know all that but still I don't want a make believe object cluttering up my easily accessible game experience.this is GT guys and I'm not hating on the wheel and I accept that the useless part was a little extreme

Yeah i agree with your part on the term "useless". But what you won't understand is how much they wheel gives you in the game comparison to real life unless you own one. And as far as it goes the closer to realize in the game is by playing on the wheel. Pretty much it is just like real life except the feeling of the G forces

I am just so glad that this isn't a balloon sculpture site.

I understand that the wheel allows for a better driving experience but still the DS3 isn't useless as the OP refers to it.The whole point of this thread is that the OP thinks DS3 is useless for GT when we'd had it for 15 years and still use it.This thread to me is just another waste of my finger power.Sorry about my rants but I just lost my marbles back there.

 

[Bowtie-muscle]

To each their own, I personally don't find the DS3 useless as it is all I have. i have managed to gold all but 1 license test and it is silver, bronzed all Vettel and have silver or better on all special events. I have been lvl 40/40 for quite some time and am 36/35 on a second account all with DS3. I long for a wheel but right now family comes first and have more important things to spend my money on. Besides, I have played all the GT series with controller and got 100% completion on all but GT5 because I have not done the 24hr races. If all you know is a wheel than a DS3 might seem useless to you, but not for all the rest of us.

 

[chug-a-bug]

Please, don't mind this USELESS thread. GT5 IS useful with a controller. This thread is useless. Ignore it. And if you're an administrator or moderator for GTPlanet, please lock this thread. Thank you.

Nice retraction. lol.

for the record, I don't care. Do whatever suits your choice/budget. I've only recently acquired a wheel due to budget/space restrictions but I still managed all 60 golds with a sixaxis never mind a DS3, so wouldn't call it "useless". But a wheel is probably a more realistic experiance.

 

[WannaRaceMe]

DS3 isn't exactly "useless". The wheel is much more fun in my opinion, but i had to jump in this conversation because i was reading comments like the DS3 is better or the wheel is easier. really? I understand everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But playing with a controller to me feels like driving a nice car with the cheapest tires money can buy, or masturbating to playboy magazines when you got the internet. Also, any record set with a controller and/or aids on is null and void in my book. Imagine if GT Academy players where using controllers.omg lol

Look at 20th and 52nd.
