Hello,
A friend lost their right hand about 4 years ago in an accident. They had been right-handed. They are still able and licensed to drive an automatic however (sometimes using a Steering Wheel Spinner attachment like this one).
They are very interested in buying a Playstation 3 console and a steering wheel, and getting into racing games like Gran Turismo 5: Prologue for example.
What they would like to know is:
1) whether it's even possible to get good gameplay, with only the left hand, out of PS3 games like Gran Turismo 5: Prologue using a steering wheel. Are they simply unplayable or too frustrating with only the left hand?
2) can a particular steering wheel be recommended as being most-friendly for use with only the left hand, and preferrably without the use of pedals. If pedal use is unavoidable however, so be it and please tell me more. If controller key customisations would be required too, please tell me more.
We both would be really grateful if anyone can help answers these questions. I can't tell you how much it would mean to us. I don't own a PS3 myself and haven't played GT5rologue so I don't know what to tell them. I understand that my friend may have to experiment/trial equipment somewhat and see what works for them but they need some suggestions to start with and can't afford to buy lots of different equipment to try.
