Dirt

I have been playing it for 360 for bout a month. I think it was actualy later in June so less then a month lol. The game is beautiful, kinda toooo much brown at times lol, but eh the name is dirt... so what should i expect lol. Uh the Online blows, that wont change. The career is over too fast but still you can have alot of fun with this game. And i use the MS wheel for it^^

I thought you disliked rumble.

Oh well, wouldn't be the first time you've done something like that.

Isn't force feedback in wheel terms the wheel fighting along with the forces imposed on the car in the game?
 
Pretty much on target with the feedback taur. It has normal Rumble, and the forefeedback kicks in on turns, hard on tight turns, when in dirt stuff like that. And please fire dont try to make the MS wheel out to be some Devil item lol. The thing is sick. Works beautifull. I know you didnt say anything crazy, but the way you ask the question... Seems the next sentance from you would be something negative. The wheel is amazing. End. lol

Edit: And it has the paddle shifters, which i freakin love.
 
So are they going to improve the online at all? Its real bad. Like worste shit i ever seen. You can fit 100 people in a lobby. But you never see any of them, you run time trials only vs their times... Wtf it sucks.

It's the same thing as rumble. Just instead of shaking wildly, it pushes against you. They're both haptic devices.

It's just pretty funny that he doesn't care for it one way, but sounds like he demands it to be there for the other.

Dunno, all I've known is what I've seen.

You're fucking retarded, do you know that? You must have figured that out by now, it didn't take me long.

What are paddle shifters, by the way? Nothing looked like a shifter on the pic so I was confused. I assumed there was some way to shift or otherwise it woulda been pointless.

Force Feedback=\ Rumble

Force feedback is using the mechanics of the game to simulate what would actualy happen if you were holding the real stearing wheel in the car. Rumble is just a shaking controller.

If rumble actualy made your controller fly around the room and change where you were aiming on the screen in a FPS when a bomb goes off near you, then it'd be like Force Feedback.

Which is how real rally racing is done actualy.
 
There's no point arguing with him. He's the same moron that thinks that SixAxis doesn't sense motion. Hell, I wouldn't know what the hell he's saying any more if you guys didn't keep quoting him.

The game is not only rally race. There are like 18cars at a time racing in single player. Why cant they do it in Online. The game sucks online, very hard.

And Fire the paddle shifters are behind the wheel like in Lambos. Many cars now use that instead of a stick. Check out the new Evo. It uses them :p
 
You can see them here. Also have you watched transporter 2? Remember when he was in the Lamborghini going like 200 on the highway. He was using paddles to shift. Its sexy.

Skaw it's like me saying you don't care about graphics so therefore you shouldn't care if it sends a signal to your TV. It's the same general area, but it's a completely different thing.

I don't really care if my controller rumbles when I get shot in Timesplitters. I care if my wheel adds resistance to simulate the real driving experience. These aren't the same things. You are just bitching for the sake of being a pain, do not waste all of our time.




Now anyway, onto real matters.

Yeah I can see the function in the paddle shifting. I guess I prefer the stick shift but Dirt's the first game that'll support it. I am having trouble justifying a $300 dollar purchase for one game when I can get a $80 wheel that's like the MS wheel from Logitech.

I mean there's other advantages to the G25...

I mean look at this fucking masterpiece driving wheel.

I could get it now and play Need for Speed, GT4, and GTHD with and get to use the clutch for Dirt but there's no guarantee GT5 P or GT5 support it the stick, which is why I'm willing to spend the extra cash.

This is a hard decision cause I don't wanna end up buying a cheaper wheel and wish I gone with the better one and I don't want the really good one and have no use for it at all. I really wish there was some more info on GT5P.
 
I've driven a paddle shift car and while it's kinda cool, i'm not too much of a fan in the long term, Mostly because of the requirement to have both hands on the wheel whenever you're shifting.

Clickshifting, which is the same concept but you do it with the stick shift, is so much more comfortable to me. But Paddle Shift has the whole Formula Racing thing going for it so i duno.
