Xbox 360 Wireless Speed Wheel announced ($59.99)
- Thread starter Wario64
- Start date
Uh.. a wheel that is *actually* like a steering wheel for a car may be a hassle but it makes the experience feel much more genuine and akin to an actual car. And people who've used such will certainly not glue their hands in the same position, but move their hands around too like they would for steering an actual car.2th said:
Who is the target audience for this? Certainly not the people who've been screaming for a decent wheel since that POS Wireless Wheel came out on 360, or who've been asking for a higher quality classic racing wheel to use. It's inescapably meant for the Kinect slash casual audience MS is trying to court while neglecting what racing game fans-those most likely to purchase peripherals to augment their experiences in certain games anyways- have been asking for.uncledonnie said:

Actually, I was hoping this isn't just a tilt/gyroscope based tech, and is using something like Kinect to give even more accurate data, but I guess not.uncledonnie said:

Um ok but wouldn't the Kinect users not be using a wheel at all, as we've seen in every Kinect racer so far including Forza?
Motherfucking shit balls, what is this?!
It's as if Microsoft doesnt want Forza to be as big as it can be. Or allow people to get the full experience.
Either get this... thing.. their old shitty wheel or an expensive wheel with limited production runs.
I'm sure this can work well enough on arcade racers, but DO NOT WANT for forza.
Looks like im still racing with a standard controller.

Have you ever actually driven a car? Just curious. I know you've never raced one, because if you had you wouldn't have made such an ignorant statement.

hella bullets that's true
well if it uses gyroscopes, it might actually be pretty lag-free. Could be cool.
I have a 360 wireless wheel and it's a pain in the ass to drag out of the closet and set up, so much so that I can count the times I've used it on one hand. I can't believe I'm saying this, but this peripheral actually looks like something I might buy, simply because it's so much easier to just pick up and use, as opposed to the wheel.

and you are exactly the person that this is designed for. I consider myself in the same boat; I have a wheel, but don't want to drag it out of the closet and hook it all up. this could be a nice go between a controller and a full wheel setup. If there's little to no lag, I think it could be cool.
Who says Kinect racers won't be using this wheel at all? You still can in them IIRC, it will just augment your experience. It's not *required.*uncledonnie said:
Oh this is definitely made to go hand in hand with Forza 4, considering the inclusion of head tracking and all, it's a perfect fit. It's just not same fit people have wanted forever.

That's quite the odd design. I can't imagine it will feel all that great if it isn't mounted on anything (I didn't really like the wiimote for MK either)

That's why you should get a wheelstand. Look up wheelstand pro for instance.
Man I am in shock. All I ever asked Microsoft for was a decent got damn wheel to play their game with. Its like I'm trying to give you guys money....
Damn, guess Fanatec is the only way to go. Hello 6 month wait for a new wheel. I'm thinking screw Forza and just still with my ps3/pc wheel (t500rs)

What the fuck is this?
Is it supposed to work with Kinect? Alone? Pressed against my scrotum?

If somebody told me, in 1999, that all these control options were the future.....

I thought the pictures fully loaded but clearly something went wrong. Where is the steering wheel? All I see is the bicycle simulator attachment.

Honestly if they offered something on par with a high level Logitech wheel for the hardcore this could be a good entry level wheel for casual players. But as a definitive wheel for a racing sim it's a joke.

I like it. As many others, I have a wheel, but find it too much hassle to set up.
So how do you use this? Do you just hold it in the air, or rest it on something? Does it need to be vertical?

fucking hideous. all the time and money wasted on this shit when they could just add logitech support with a usb add-on/converter.
logitech support means more forza sales. do it you arsehats.

Aaaaand GT5 will continue to be my sim racer. MS would sell a lot more Forzas if they just allowed G27 wheels to work.
