You're pretty much looking at nearly $500 to get the game and entry level wheel/shifter/pedals. I think it's worth it but it's not for everyone. Edit: I always forget that you can game on pc with a controller. That wouldn't be too bad. Edited 20/05/18 05:47 AM by Puffwagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do need the analogue controls instead of keyboard etc. Controllers give you that at least 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd have to be only 150 to 200 eh? I reckon it would be great for streaming to the tv with a steam box or whatever. I raced gran turismo for years with a controller and loved it.

Job done for a grand or so Plus you might even get some spare parts when your car needs them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was running it at about 4 to 5k in 2nd and 3rd Made me smile Did have the window down to listen to that V8 goodness, but not much noise cos standard crap exhaust. Coming back down the range I managed to be a bit smoother, so Mrs BCB didn't swear at me Looking forward to getting back home to play Project cars 2 now On 5/20/2018 at 12:07 PM, Ford Freak said: what console is this for?

I used to be butthurt that I couldn't play gt6 or whatever but the past few years of game and hardware development have made pc gaming my preferred choice. It's pretty bloody pricey though. A console is only 20% of the initial outlay and I'd go that route if I had to or didn't care about all dem fps's and all dem k's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
