Logitech Wheel Comparison
We really are reaching a tipping point in the experience and enjoyment factor of racing games! The technology now exists to provide realistic racing environments through the use of steering wheels with forcefeedback, LCD screens with Crystal Clear display and speakers delivering the right acoustics (with bass!). And of course, the right type of gaming seat, or gaming chair (I don't call them cockpits, I'll leave this to the flight-sim people!). We've been so impressed by GranTurismo, that we've been looking for things to improve the experience of the game.
We love games so much hear that we just want to share our experiences so everyone can have as much fun as us.
Before we had the GT and G25 in the labs, we had so much fun with the Driving Force! For us, this was one of the devices that really started a revolution in gaming.... bye bye controller pads and keyboard! We had two people on a couch (sofa!) and one playing on a bean bag.
The Driving Force is wireless, and although I'm not a big fan of wireless devices for precision gaming, the Driving Force works fine. The feedback was really good, giving responses to bumps, traction loss and even car crashes.
This controller was primarily designed for working on your lap, and can easily be setup so it can work from a table or similar. The Driving Force also comes with Pedals, which is something that is really the missing piece when playing racing games.
On the PS3, we tested GranTurismo and Burnout - I have to say, the playability was much better on the PS3 than the PC, but at the end of the day we were testing the Driving Force - and I don't want this review to represent that the Driving Force was deficient in any area, it worked fine on all the games.
Summary...
The Driving Force is 1/2 the price of other products from Logitech, which more than justifies its position. Recommendation - buy one, have fun, sell on ebay - then buy an upgrade!
yummy. Thats my first words on this!
This is where force feedback really comes into itself, and with the full rotation it really does give you the feel of a real wheel.
The difference we found with this wheel compared to similar priced wheels is that the steering wheel has a Rubber Coating, as opposed to just cheap plastic. This really gives it a realistic feel. When you play GT or Need for Speed, you really want to hammer the wheel to get the best experience, and the Logitech is good to handle it.
We initially tried the DFGT on a table, as we were in the middle of rebuilding the VisionRacer, and we'd dismantled the Fanatec kit - and we found two things. Experience is everything, and once you've been in this!) a racing game with a wheel - you can't go back to a keyboard or joypad. Secondly, when you've been in a gaming seat - you can't go back to a table.... its all good. Its also easy to see why the wheel is the official wheel of Gran Turismo.
The wheel has been around for sometime now, and we're glad to say it's aged well and still current. This product wont be covered, as it is being superseded by the Driving Force Pro.
Summary...
Fantastic Product. It seems like an early release of the G25.
The G25 is the next model up from the Driving Force GT. Aesthetics are everything, and I'm glad to see that the inside represents the quality goods that the packaging displays. This is a top-end product, and you can tell this because the components are metal when they matter - specifically the pedals. This is good, but what about the playability and the experience?
What we liked to see is that the gearbox is also part of the 'evolution' of the game pad, and has been brought into the mix. As part of the setup, the traditional D-Pad is built into the Left Hand side of the system, as part of the gear box mount - giving you additional control buttons.
The gated controls are becoming more popular for the F1 type games, as you would expect, and the manual gated control for the rally type games! Cool!
There's a choice of gear shifting modes too, so you can have sequential if this is your preference for F1, or just stay with gated gears.
Apparently the steering wheel is made from hand stitched leather - I can't confirm this other than saying the wheel looks and feels as if its come straight out of a steering wheel.
We didn't see the point in trying the G25 on a table, playing in a VisionRacer was much more fun and got the most out of the Logitech component! The real value in these components is when they're integrated with a gaming seat, 5.1 surround sound and a good LCD. Seriously, there is no going back!
In Summary...
Looking how gaming wheels evolved from pads, there's a good chance that feedback pedals would do the same.
The G25 and Driving Force GT are top of the list in the market.
We'd go as far to say that the feedback electrics are quieter on the G25, rather than the DFGT - but hey, with 5.1 speakers rareing, who cares!
