Hey all
My first post here - I've been a Gran Turismo (and racing game in general) fan ever since the original on the PSOne. Only recently have I experienced the joys of playing racing games/sims with a steering wheel/pedal/gear shifter set (G25).
Some of the games I've played since getting the G25 are GTR2, Race07, rFactor, Gran Turismo 4, Gran Turismo 5: Prologue Demo and as soon as it's delivered, Gran Turismo 5: Prologue.
I've got to say I'm loving the supreme level of control that the G25 can offer - I don't know why I didn't ever invest in a steering wheel in previous years!
Now onto the topic: correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think any of the previous Gran Turismos have had clutch support? And hence the ability to turn auto-blipping of the accelerator off? This is a technique that I've been able to practice with the G25 in games like rFactor - it's immensely satisfying racing around the track using the heel/toe technique effectively, knowing that if you didn't, there's a higher chance you would lose control of the car under braking and downshifting.
So, how important is it to you guys personally, that GT5 has the option to turn off auto-blipping, especially with a mainstream product like the Logitech G25 now being available? For me, I would love to have this option simply so that I could get the satisfaction of doing well in a race knowing I worked hard on it with all driver aids off and using advanced techniques like heel/toeing. This satisfaction is what makes me return to games like rFactor again and again! Anyone agree?
