All this talk of GT4 being made for DFP is BS if you ask me.
The overwhelming majority of PS2 owners would not own a Steering wheel at all let alont DFP. Why would anyone software company make a game for such a minority of people. I think the game would be much much more enjoyable with the DFP or other but saying that GT4 is crap without it or that GT4 is built for a steering wheel controller is misleading.
PS great pics pimp racer. I just wish they hurry up and bring the damn game to AUS soon.
The DFP was made for GT4, and GT4 was made for The DFP.
Polyphony and Logitech worked in conjunction to provide a device that gives that gives the most realistic simulation on PS2 to date. FACT not BS.
PD made the game, to give the most realistic simulation when using the DFP.
The game is not made soley for use with the DFP that is why you can use Your DS.
Using the DFP is the ultimate and best way to enjoy GT4, its designed that way.
PD had to use steering assits to make the game playable for DS and other wheel users.
As to if that makes it crap without using the DFP really depends if you want the true simulation for your game experience, or you are quite happy to enjoy the assisted DS experience.
Its your choice!
DFP= Full implemented Physics/Handling engine, (truer to RL)
DS= Lower level Physics/Handling engine and assists, (more Arcadey than RL)
But to get the best out of the game, the DFP is the only option, as it provides enhanced physics over the DS by extending the games physics engine, it does this by moving the wheel, to simulate the cars movements as the weight transfers, this can not be simulated when using the DS, as there is no way to feel what the vehicle is doing, and no way to hold or counteract these movements.
Add to that the fact that using the DFP is the only way to give precise control with the ability to hold constant steering input, (not possible with the DS due to assist), means that for those who take driving experience seriously, will get much more out of the game, as an experience than DS users.
KY has delivered a title, that can be enjoyed on a different level for those serious players, who are prepared to make a little investment in how they play it, while it can still be enjoyed as a game, for those that dont really care about getting the best out of the physics engine by using the DS.
Of course some people will be good with a DS, its just youll be missing out on much of the new Physics without the DFP.
. I'd like to see the Nissan Be-1 or Mirage 1400 GLX.
