Seriously hoping for a midnight release too....

Epic video too... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8WDpwuJmHY

[87GT]

Can't wait. Might even build this when it comes out.

Haha I have the G25 and a playseat as mentioned before and love it.

I have looked at that but feel it's a little overpriced, I would rather put the money in a better wheel... although it would be nice if I didn't have a lot of room for a big tv and stuff.

That is too rich for my blood

[Mr. Jones]

I always said that when GT5 finally made it, I'd consider building a full scale racing rig.

Trying to figure out which direction to go.

 

Full rig like Visionracers is nice. It can be moved room to room, allows for essentially a racing "appliance".

 

Another option is to mount a large LCD to the wall and use one of cheaper rigs pushed up against the wall. Less tidy for sure.

 

For me I'd use the PS3 for nothing but GT5, so a full blown standalone rig wold work for me.

If I had money to play with then it sounds like a good idea. Do it and send me pictures of your "appliance" setup

[Not Brian]

I'd rather just use a controller..

[Draco-REX]

I still have the wheel from GT3 that has the 900 degree rotation. Though I might update for 5. Downside is that the playseat setup I have isn't all that great and doesn't have an allowance for the G25's shifter module.

I bet you like to put it up your butt and make it vibrate too?

[thorne]

http://www.logitech.com/en-us/gaming/wheels/devices/4172 I have that and I'm contemplating buying a STi Seat

[bicranium]

Good sweet christ... looks like I might need to pick up a PS3 for this. Didn't get into GT4 too much but GT2 and GT3 absolutely raped my adolescence. That video was incredible.

[Draco-REX]

Just *peeked* at the first moments of the intro. Weather effects will be awesome to have. I hope GT5 lets me run the 'Ring in the snow. Even better if it'll let me do that with one of the WRC cars.. *drool*

[harmonda]

I have one of these http://www.virtualr.net/obutto-ozone-racing-cockpit-review/ with with a G25. I use the 'keyboard' shelf for my laptop and the 'mouse' shelf for my booze. A friend of mine in Florida has the same setup and we use eyeball chat as a cockpit cam while we are racing with the prologue version of the game. Can't wait for the actual game.

This.

 

Nothing like a grown ass man sitting in his racecar bed playing video games.

[MiDe84]

I hate waiting to play a game for the first time when there's an update. This one is 133MB, and the game isnt even out yet. This should clog the series of tubes pretty good on a release day right before thanksgiving.

Ya the PS3 update will take 2 hours instead of 30 minutes.

[944s2]

BTW be prepared this game takes 50 min to install I hear..... so grab a beer. Soooo much compressed shit unpacking I guess.

I heard you can install as you go with this game actually. Maybe that was a different PS3 game.

[ImUrOBGYN]

I think it's hilarious that after waiting all this time; days, months, years, and you guys are bitching about the install already. lol

I thought I read that about GT5 too....

 

I am going to be picking it up tonight, and dusting my PS3 off. I haven't played it since God of War III came out, so in addition to having to install the game, I will probably have to install updates too, and PS3 updates take FOREVER.
