Steering Wheel support?
Will steering wheels and pedals be supported at launch?
Forum Discussion
@XGCSithsays a guy who drives car games using 2 "nipples"? Just because you can't afford an steering wheel doesn't mean the hardware is pointless. I'm using wheels in any car game and guess what, I find controllers very pointless and non-connected to the game.
@Pair_Demons So because I think its pointless I automatically can't afford a steering wheel? See, this is the issue with people like you and the rest of the community. The assumptions really make you look idiotic.
- @XGCSith How can someone can look idiotic for supporting steering wheel in a CAR game? lol
Regarding your, (or my), pointless argument: I met a few hundreds of players in my 20+ years in this franchise and I can say a big majority of them said something like "I can't afford a wheel but I'm ok with the controller because it's an arcade game". Don't you find some contradiction here?@Pair_Demonsbecause it's an arcade racer, not a simulation game. Steering wheel controls literally do nothing for an arcade racer. There's no force feedback, it doesn't make the cars handle any different and it's not anymore immersive than a controller.
I fail to see any contradiction. My argument was that you claimed that because I don't see a point in stirring wheel controls in NFS games, I somehow can't afford it. You're basing your argument or whatever you want to call it, on assumptions. Just because the "majority" of people you talk to (which, let's face it, it probably a small number and not anywhere close to a few hundred) claim they can't afford a wheel doesn't mean I can't. I've been playing NFS since NFS 2 Hot Pursuit. I have yet to actually want nor need a steering wheel or this series, let alone any racing game.@XGCSithdo you feel offended because of people who want to DRIVE a racing game by a steering wheel? Cars are still being still driven by steering wheels. In real life, in simulations and it should be possible also in an arcade racer.
Just as is it was already and always possible in the past. Even real arcade machines in the 80ies were driven by a wheel...
And do you know why? Because it's alot of fun! And it's a challenge (for me) if I can drive the same times as someone does with a controller.
But your claim, that arcade racing games don't have force feedback shows me, that you've never tried it.... Even all NFS titles, which had wheel support, had also force feedback.
So please just accept, that there are a lot of people out there, who would love to drive a racing game by a steering wheel. Especially if it's a kind of "Underground" / "Carbon" / "Most Wanted" title, which UNBOUND maybe will be.
And honestly: Why should be wheel drivers be discriminated in a racing game? (Again: See the HOT PURSUIT REMASTERED disaster...)
But let's see if there won't be an answer by EA for that. I stick to it. No clear answer by EA, no money for the game.
