GT Academy

[87223877]

I played GT1 GT2 GT3 AND GT4 with a controller .... now I just bought a steering wheel for gt prologue and this gt academy demo ...... it loooks like GT 473674248 to me ... so much fun !!! so much much much ... shame on me playin all these gt series whith a controller

[AdamTurner1992]

this was shit, one car? :S

[ndrosario]

i have a 1.38.018 with the controller..i agree, i can definitely see a problem with that compared to the steering wheel

[hamster639]

i had 1.47.654 with controller on first go, not bad i want a steering wheel much better.

[sonnysingh03]

i would not reccomend doing this whith a steering wheel i have the G25 and i think that sony have made this pretty tough for any one who trys it as it is easy to slip out and spin whitch is easer to correct with a controller.

[noknog]

@ndrosario does a steering wheel really make a difrnce? im getin 1'38s for fun tbh n im using a controller? i duno if i should invest in a steering wheel. G25s are th sex apparently

[Trevisio]

This GT Academy demo is the 1st driving game I've ever played where the joypad controller is at a massive disadvantage compared to a steering wheel, because the throttle sensitivity setup for the controller is non-linear, The last 25% of throttle pedal travel is uncontrollable. Why this is the case when the brake sensitivity is perfectly linear on the controller? I don't know, I can only guess that once again big business has ruined the fun because it wants to sell more steering wheels.

[webby724]

But its still a demo. They are most probalbly going to do something about that on the full version

[Aderrrm1]

In your opinion it probably is, yes. I've found the last 25% of the throttle pedal controllable, so I'm going to base what you have said on a lack of experience with driving games on the ps3, using a pad. If you want the true gaming driving experience, buy a steering wheel.

[Trevisio]

The GT:HD and the JPN GT5P demo did not respond the way GT5P Retail and GT Academy TT do, so obviously it's controllable via software

[SammyJ21]

How about you just hurry up and bring the game out then I won't have to worry about becoming a real racing driver, which in fairness is more likely to have happened in the space frame!!!

[pm7movies]

@SammyJ21 ITS COMING OUT IN  MARCH IN JAPAN

[jimarillo]

@SammyJ21

Great point mate ! As much as I would love to be a race driver (more than just karts and cheap tin tops) I rely on GT as my fix (although Grid and Motogp* are fantastc racers). COME ON SONY !

[supermanbatran]

i got 1. 31

[blademanx]

been playing GT since PS1 with a controller...Sick of using a controller. Time to upgrade

[TheKetwork32]

does a steering wheel make that much difference? im getting a constant 1.39.300-500 just on my joypad, i haven't tried doing it in the untuned car yet

[XXJULIUSXX1993]

i got 1.35.084

[Rzaoutlaw]

got a 1.39. dead ! Any tips to improve ? usually great with car games but this is a different story.

[kinglewis2win]

@samsung50inchtv, try driving with a steering wheel soooooooo much easier 2 control, if ur already driving with 1 then ur screwd m8, lol

[samsung50inchtv]

i got 1.47.207

the car severly lets the back end step out and i have to brake to control it wich waste time

once right at the last straight i lost control of the car cuz the bak end steped out i hit the barrier and that it

with the un tuned version i got 2.01.??

any tips for me

driving style more speed less braking

cuting corners (which i cant do in the time trial)

dont care if i hit a barrier i will still go full pelt

[RMSF1]

use the blue line

it will help you know when to brake

try to brake alot and when you start to accelerate dont push hard to get more grip

[kinglewis2win]

i got a 1.38.508 lol damn u RMSF1!!! lol

[RMSF1]

i got 1.38.503 but still not good enough

i need a steering wheel instead of controller, the top 100 are using steering because it provides more control on the car

[o0XoJoRdANoX0o]

hey, yeah i got 1.39.003 with the logitech g25, trust me guys with a wheel its a whole lot easier, you still need skill on the playstation, but you can put the car exactly where you want it. i recommend the logitech to anyone its so realistic!

[RMSF1]

yea the g25 is very good , but expensive lol, i might get it after the release of gt5

[1993gandy]

@o0XoJoRdANoX0o logitech its that realistic standard the steering is to light and so are the gears (but its the closest thing that you can get to driving a real car)

[Homzy09]

I scraped a 1:49.40, but i don't know how people got into the 1:45s. I mean, every time one exits a corner the back end steps out; so i naturally prefer the handling on GT4. I just hope that isn't apart of the finished product, because i love the Gran Turismo series & that characteristic would ruin it for me.

[beyblader10171]

@Homzy09

no disrespect to you but u just gotta take it easy when accelerating out of a corner, exiting a corner with full power is a no brainer, take ur time, slowly accelerate and even out the car, then go full power, trust me thats the best piece of advice i can give you, the best time i got was 1.40.582

good luck

[Homzy09]

@beyblader10171

I'll take your advice mate. As a former go-cart racer, i was brought up around the idea of braking into a corner (on the racing line, obviously)& accelerating out. It was the most efficient way & it always worked for me. It worked for me on GT4 & GT3 as well. However, this trial proves different. I dunno if it's the car or me.

P.S

My time was 1:39.40, not 1:49.40.

[beyblader10171]

@Homzy09

thats a good time, i got 1.39.081 just now, but i fell i could improve alot more, but hey, this game is a simulator so this is what it would be like in real life, with the car trying to oversteer out of the corner, thats the beauty of this demo, and the game.

[Homzy09]

@beyblader10171

I suppose i haven't drove such car in real life. So i don't know how it should handle. However, i suppose you're right. Gran Turismo has always been accurate to a certain degree.

[hassan3o7]

they tune there car perfectly and practise :)

[osenidot]

i got a time of 1.41.702 not the best but uno lol

[beyblader10171]

i wanna do this, i wanna be the next lewis hamilton, you never know

[OiiiMate]

What is the backing track to that advert? it sounds familiar.. =]
