Steering Wheel support?
Will steering wheels and pedals be supported at launch?
Forum Discussion
@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.
@crazyDJSIRmYou realize this is a game and not real life right? I know arcades had wheels. They also had pedals and a shifter. Still doesn't alter the fact that a wheel, in an arcade game, does literally nothing for the game. It just gives you guys satisfaction for some bizarre reason.
You are again, one person screaming in a crowd of millions. EA does not care if one, two, three or a couple of hundred people don't buy a game for an arbitrary feature.
@XGCSith ...and do you realize, that you are still trying to discriminate people, who want to drive a racing game by a steering wheel? ;-)
Why do you care about it? You don't want to drive with a steering wheel. I'm OK with that and I don't care.
But there are several thousand people out there who would love to drive with a steering wheel and not with a controller.
So just let the people have their fun. Just as you have with your nifty controller... :-)
And: I have my own company for many years now. And you know what? For me, every customer counts. There is nothing "bizzare" in it, as you claim.
Have a nice day and let's see if there will be an answer by EA.
For now it's all just speculation.

Oh god... 😃
Steering wheels typically enhances the gameplay experience in a racing game from...let's say...playing using a keyboard for example.
