Re: Will Need for Speed Payback work with any Racing wheel?

Well I just read the specs posted on Origin webpage for the game and under inputs it only says DAUL ACTION CONTROLLER. Which really sucks.

I've bought almost every NFS game since the release of the series. BUT it looks like I'm passing on this title. NO WHEEL, NO BUY!!!

SPEC on ORIGIN for Payback

    Thats a really dumb reason to not get a game. What's the problem with playing with a controller like 99% of all the other gamers out there?

  • Well I think driving a car with a gamepad is just DUMB as ...

    Why would I want to drive a car using a steering wheel and pedals like well 100% of all cars use a steering wheel.

    On the PC most games let us use our wheels/pedals as first choice of a controller. Next to that comes gamepads.

    So plainly Ghost Games/EA Games has decided to take the easy way out again and program their game to support a fraction of input devices that are on the market these days for both the PCs as well as the Console thingy's! 

    If I wanted to play driving games with just a gamepad, well then I'd buy a stupid gaming console thingy. 

    So like you say, THAT using a GAMEPAD is a REALLY DUMB way to DRIVE a CAR!!!

    @Alowgo What small fraction uses what type of controller? I have seen more gamers use a game pad over a racing wheel. I do not know where you got the opposite from. The "No wheel, no buy crowd" is ridiculous. You are not really driving a car in a racing game. You want to drive a real car, go drive one. Letting a very small detail affect your purchase is stupid. Not buying the game over that is your choice but, it is a dumb choice.

    Same could be said for those playing a racing game using a controller, I mean seriously......who wants to play a racing game and NOT use a steering wheel, it's a car racing game, not COD.

    Once you play a racing game using a steering wheel and pedal setup, there's no going back. Using a controller is a total immersion killer.

    I also won't be buying this if there is no support for steering wheels, total immersion killer.

    I've found that most people gain better accuracy with a wheel than a controller.  At least that's what they've told me.  As for going out and driving a car if you want a wheel.  Well, not all of us can drive a car.  Either due to cost, age, or location it's a silly recommendation to make.  Finally, there is one car that doesn't use a wheel.  It's a Nissan GTR R35 that uses a controller and it's just a promotion for Nissan so don't expect it to be repeated.

    So what if is not COD? That does not matter. Don't buy the game then, thats fine your loss. This all goes back to it being stupid if you don't buy it because you're too picky.

    It's not stupid, it's my opinion and as a paying consumer I'm very well entitled to it.

    If there's no steering wheel support I along with many others won't buy it, and trust me, it's not my loss, .....it's just a game. 

  • "I am not attacking people" he pleads; "I am just giving my opinion" he protests.

    CLP122214 WTF is your problem?  You have no right to call people "stupid" over their purchasing decisions.  Quit with your toxicity or I will just start reporting every single post you make as inflammatory and in breach of the forum rules.  Get over your ego already and stop behaving like a spoiled brat.

    I didn't call anyone stupid I said your reasons were stupid. Get it straight. Again, saying have an ego holds no bounds considering I do not have a big ego and i never claimed to have had a big ego. That's original, threating me with reporting.
  • Are you really that ignorant - telling people their decisions are stupid is exactly that - you are calling them stupid.  You have zero right to attack people for the decisions they make or the questions they ask on this forum - and I note it is not just in the wheel threads, you seem to be doing this in just about every thread you are involved in.  Grow the hell up and button your lip where you don't have something decent to say.

    Every thread? I do not think so. The only ones I have been this way in are the ones that are being overly picky trying to find a reason not to buy this game. Im sorry you are too ignorant to realise that calling a decision stupid is not calling the person stupid. You can make stupid decisions and stupid comments but, that doesn't make you stupid.
