When you said it was the GTR devs, I was thinking SimBin, but its actually the guys who worked with SimBin on the GTR stuff. Regardless, its obvious they are going more for their work on GTR, GTR2 and GT Legends than any of the old NFS games.

I'm sucking like crazy with the regular controller though, and my old OG Playstation wheel isn't working. So, its a good excuse to pick up the new GT5 Logitech wheel (especially since its on sale right now at Amazon). I figure, even if this game sucks with a wheel, I'll still need one for GT5 when it finally comes out.

Bayley just came home from Reno with NFS Shift. Who's online?
