I love Forza, and really this is the only thing I'll miss from the Xbox. REALLY glad I didn't get a Fanatec wheel though, because I almost did at one point, figuring it'd carry on to new systems.. That was back when I was still thinking I'd get the Xbox, before the original E3 horror show. Saying that' I'd be fucking pissed that MS locked my expensive as shit wheel out of the new console would be a huge understatement. |

Not enough to adopt a new console. I'll wait for the first major hardware revision then decide on a console. Always been an Xbox fanboy, though this go around looks like the PS4 will launch stronger.

Had mine on reserve since last July. Getting Forza 5, Dead Rising 3, and CoD Ghosts. Also reserved Titanfall for next Spring.

Yeah I saw it and thought of a few guys here that have S2ks.
I've about had it with M$ and their BS. Turn10 has fumbled things as far as gameplay and simulation features too. But M$ had internet problems up the wazoo and their proprietary controller nonsense blocking all Logitech wheels. I have a DFP already and want to get a G27 eventually. Especially after I regularly raced with a couple guys that had Fanatec wheels and they had issues every other week on Forza. GT5 had too many major flaws for me to jump ship now though. I'm adopting a wait and see approach for next gen. I might just go Wii U and forget about the console war. I already have a gaming laptop that runs 95% of my games. It's a shame that Gran Turismo and Forza are console exclusive. Those would be a hellalotta fun to mod on PC. |

Totally agree on wheel lock-out though. Luckily Forza is pretty playable with a controller, but I WISH I could use my DFP on it. BTW, Sony has their own lock out on ALL third party wireless controllers. Both are selfish conglomerates. One just does a better job hiding it.

1. Bullshit. Kinect for Windows. Look it up. The Kinect has had arguably more impact on the PC market than it has on the Xbox. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/...ry-060712.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kinectforwindows/ 2. The only thing I really ever use Kinect for anymore is to control Netflix with voice commands. I rarely even turn it on for head tracking anymore, but that's mostly because my seating position is farther back than it likes to pick up now. |

Here's my custom-built Fanatec setup (99% complete in this photo) Loosely Inspired by a OutRun Paradise Sit-Down Cabinet Black Aluminum Diamond Plate Flooring Carbon Fiber-wrapped Seatbox All Other Surfaces laminated in Formica (Citadel Grey & Grenadine) Temperature-Controlled Cooling Fans (with LCD read-out) 42" 1080p LCD (expandable to some 47" models) Shelves for 2 consoles (360 & PS3) Remote PC integration 5.1 over Optical via Onkyo Playseat Evolution Racing Seat (on adjustable slider) Under-Chair mounted Subwoofer Fanatec Porsche Turbo S Wheel & Clubsport Pedals Thrustmaster TH8RS Shifter integrated into Fanatec via BasherBoard Needless to say, the XBone pre-order was cancelled once the news came out that Fanatec is no longer supported -- and for no legit reason either. I'll get one eventually as I'm sure they'll come up with something exclusive that I want, but since Forza 5 was the only game I had it ordered for, there was no reason to keep it booked. |

Ouch, yeah..
Well, if it's any consolation, that's a hell of a PC sim setup! |

Yeah, and it's tied into the PC, but it's just not as convenient, and I'm not into that as much. It works on the PS3 though, and presumably will work on the PS4 as well -- it's just too bad that GT5 was (for me) the most underwhelming title of the last generation by a very wide margin.
