Thats why Gran Turismo haters can fuck off.
I owned a ps4 already and Id owned Gran Turismo as a casual gamer before I decided to give sim racing a go. I bought a $200 used wheel and pedals off marketplace and built a cheap rig for about another $200.
It might be "Simcade" or whatever elitist gatekeepy shit people want to say but my total investment to suck at simracing is $500. You can spend $10,000 and still suck at Iracing.
Fuck GT haters. That game has been the gold standard of a love letter to spinning metal since ps1.
Why do people hate on Grand Turismo ? (I know nothing of these kinds of games)
People who play the more involved and serious sim racing games look down on it because (IMO) its the most accessible for casual gamers.
My most recent console is a PS2 so I haven't played a modern Gran Turismo, but the original Gran Turismo is probably what started my love for racing.
Sure the Gran Turismo games might not have realistic physics, but neither did project cars 2 and I had an insane amount of fun with that game.
