The New Ferrari Challenge PS3 Game

I've got to say (as a Playseat Evolution user -- no association otherwise) that the Evolution is the way to go over the Bob Earl seat if you tend to play racing sims that involve more production/gt/touring cars than formula cars. The Bob Earl setup has you sitting virtually on the ground and offers a formula-style outstretched seating arrangement. The Evolution is much more accurate for all other types of cars. Additionally, comaparing the comfort, aesthetics, quality -- I'd give the Evolution the nod. It's much more impressive looking than the Bob Earl setup is and doesn't look like an eyesore in a home environment.

NO WAY!!! not till the engine is behind you

 

I wish they'd make it for the xbox 360 so then I could get it (without buying a ps3 that is).

 

Already pre-ordered it from amazon for my Wii! I AM PUMPED!

 

Thanks Tony!

 

Yeah the thought crossed my mind but I don't know, I don't really use the 360 that much and buying a ps3 too seems like a waste of money for me. Your not helping the matter though. ha!

 

I hope you have Forza 2. I think this game may get boring after a bit due to the lack of cars.

 

Yeah I do. Forza 2 has quite a few Ferrari's so perhaps that's a good consolation.


On a slightly related note:
There was an article on the f1 website discussing a future F1 game that would be available on the 360 and ps3
http://www.formula1.com/news/interviews/2008/5/7859.html
Maybe its been discussed here before but I'll hold out hope for that.

 

It's going to be a sim. Can't wait.

 

Long time no see Mate, I hope you're doing fine down under!?

Had my copy of the game since yesterday afternoon, and I have now unlocked and bought two 348's.... the 348 TB and a 348 Challenge ......it's really one of the very best (racing) games for the PS3 so far, IMO!!
I have only the 40GB version of the PS3, but I'm more than satisfied with that one!

Best regards and much love from your Danish mate

I have that set up and it's amazing. Really makes the game feel real when it's in front of a 65 in HDTV....almost life size from a cockpit view.

Does the game allow you to make any suspension, tire, or other setup adjustments? Any in-car adjustments while on track? Thanks.

 

Do they have a 308/328 in there?

 

I also have the playseat evo and logitech wheel. Great on the PS3. I also use the same seat and the Xbox360 wheel/pedals for Forza2. Setting this in front of my 62" TV makes for an amazing simulation!

 

I would guess the 308/328 is also there, although I am not sure! The game features more than 50 Ferrari cars so there is a good chance the 308/328 is in the game! I have so far unlocked and bought: 348TB, 348 Challenge, 512M, 512S and 365GTB4 Competizione!
I love this game!!!

 

Thanks for the links!

 

Is there anyone who has the game that can comment on how the cars drive compared with the genuine article? For instance, does the Daytona drive more like a '70s car, compared with, say, a 348? I may pick up a PS3 and Logitech G25 so that I have fun with this game.
