I've been looking forward to Gran Tourismo for my racing fix, but I gotta say.. Codemasters may have another sleeper hit on it's hands with Grid..

check out the video

stunning... I may hold off on buying GT if this thing is half as good as it looks.

Meh, Quicktime. :(

Hey, can the PS3 use the Logitec G25 wheel? I think it can now right? I'm going to get a PS3 system eventually for the BlueRay. I had bought an HDDVD, but I returned it just in time!

My brother wants me to get an XBox, but it wouldn't work with the G25, because MS wants to sell you their POS wheel. Well f*** you and the horse you rode in on!

yes, the PS3 can use the Logitec G25 wheel, and in fact, both the GT HD available in North America, and the soon-to-be-released Prologue support it.

Holy... that is one sweet damage model that game has (not to mention it looks like it has a demolition derby race in there as well)

Definitely worth a look, esp. if the on line multi-player is strong...

well.. according to some previews I read up on, it's not a full-out simulator... I guess codemasters is trying to make it more mainstream than their toca series.

regardless, it looks beautiful, and like most codemasters games, I expect it to deliver on the fun.

The old Trans-Am racers look like fun.
Old enough to know me limit, yet young enough to exceed it.
