Logitech G25 with Gran Turismo 5

[Demersynth]

So I'm thinking of getting a G25 for use on my PC, but I also plan on picking up a PS3 next year for games like GTA4 and GT5. My question is, does anyone know if the G25 will work with Gran Turismo 5, or is that just too early to ask?

Loads of people are playing the GT5 Prologue Demo with the G25 so why not?

[Demersynth]

Cool, I didn't know that. I've just recently started showing interest in the game, I didn't even realize there was a demo out. Heh. -_-

[sundayx Veteran]

Yeah but the demo was released only on the Japanese PlayStation Store (PS3), and it's taken down.

[EnzoFX]

they took it down? why? weird, it is a beautiful demo.

It was set to be a timed demo. On December 13th Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is expected to come out. Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is a shortened version of Gran Turismo 5. Many people don't really like GT5P because you are going to have to pay for it when it's not even the full game. But the full game won't be out for a while and for some like me it's a must have! I'll be buying GT5P the first day and once the full GT5 gets closer it's a for sure pre-order.

Same here Gt5 is amazing!

It's not going to be available anywhere outside of Japan... :(

You can still get it, it's a little complicated tho... you gotta use your pc and ps3 to send the file over.. ;)

[sundayx Veteran]

There is always a way...

But hey when you say PC and PS3, it's legal right? :p You could just get it imported instead.

Hey, I didn't want to start a new thread for my simple question so sorry to drag this old topic up.

Does anyone who owns a G25 know what the maximum thickness the table/desk can be for the wheel and gearshift to clamp to? Someone said on another forum it was just 3cm? But by looking at the pictures and reviews online it looks to be more. Can anyone confirm?

Cheers.

I doubt you can use it in GTA but GT should be fine :)

I think Ill pick one up once GT5-real is released :p

I would love to get that wheel for GT5 but my question to anyone that owns both (the game and the wheel).

Can you configure the shifting stick to work with GT5? and do you have to press the clutch to change gears? (that would be awesome)

Thanks

From what I've read and the various

videos. The G25 works perfectly with GT5:P including the clutch even though it's not officially supported in the game.

I can when I get home. None of my tables worked at first I had to modify an old one!

Seriously by far the most realistic driving experience you can get, the G25 is amazing. The new Driving Force GT is a good steering wheel for those looking to not spend as much but having H shifter with 6 speeds and a clutch makes the world of difference.

G25 works with almost any game I try with it. Unfortunately it doesn't work with Xbox360 because Microsoft wants you to buy there wheel witch is good but not even close to a G25. PS2, PS3, PC it works great on any game that supports wheels. Some games don't support all the features of it, if you need more info on what works on what games I can write that up later.

I own both. Yes you can stick shift, starting any race you don't use the clutch just moving the shifter switches gears. Hitting the Triangle (not actually labeled Triangle but where Triangle would be, aka the Top) turns on the clutch and you must use the clutch then.

Also pushing the shifter in (like you would if you were going into Reverse) and turning the switch from H to sequential turns the shifter in to a sequential shifter and also turns on the flappy paddles for shifting.

I really want this wheel, just hope we'll see some more racing games released on the PS3. Don't know if i can justify the price for one game ...

You can currently use the G25 wheel with GT5:P, Burnout Paradise, DIRT, F1, NFS:Carbon.

[Sethos]

Burnout Paradise with a wheel?

Dirt i own for the 360

F1 is not my style

a NFS with a wheel?

There, GT5 is the only reason to own the wheel at this point for me.

[SnowRanger13]

The guys that make PGR now aren't owned by Microsoft. Microsoft still owns the PGR name but they could make a new multi-platform racer, that would be sweet.

Just went and checked looked like the maximum the rubber feet extend is 1.25 inch's... i swear it seems bigger then that.. I can barely read the measuring tape I'm suing I'll see if i can find another...

Hmm, thanks for checking matey. It does seem bigger than that from all the pictures. The table I was planning on fixing this to is about 2.5 inches thick :(

I have owned a G25 for about a year now, its a fantastic bit of kit. I have been using it to play Live4Speed on the PC which i highly recomend. I have now been using it with GT5 whch to me completes the game, it totaly transforms the game, i couldnt imagine ever using a game pad now.
