The "Official" PS4 Wheel

[haythem09]

I present to you:
The Thrustmaster T80!

Now not just listed on Thrustmaster's website, but also now for sale on Amazon!: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00F9F047K/?tag=gtplanetuk-20

Yeah, it's nothing exciting... But I'm pretty sure all the wheels we know like G27, T500 will work on PS4. What's bad is that you can't even consider this Mid-end, because it doesn't even say it has Force-Feedback, which the DFGT and DF-PRO do. No Shifter stuck on either. Just paddle shifters and Plastic pedals over here.

So I guess we can call it the the Official Low-end PS4 wheel.

Erm... If you read the big Fanatec and Thrustmaster threads you'll know that your statements are not quite correct.

We know that the T80 is the **ONLY** wheel on the market today which actually can be used in PS4 menus. All PS3 compatible wheels have been tested and confirmed that they don't work in PS4 menus, but there have also been statements by Sony and Thrustmaster confirming that wheel support in game on the PS4 requires two things:
1. The wheel vendor needs to provide drivers to include in the PS4 OS.
2. The game creator needs to choose to use these wheel drivers to provide control in game.

So far Thrustmaster has confirmed that alongside the T80 it has arranged for PS4 drivers for the T500RS. Driveclub representative confirmed here that they have T500RS support up already: http://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/268931-driveclub/page-23#entry9487355
Logitech has expressed a desire to look into PS4, but nothing concrete yet.

Right now it's irrelevant, because NFS Rivals is the only PS4 car game so far and it intentionally only supports controller. Drive club will probably be the first real PS4 wheel supporting race game. We know it's been demoed with the T500RS already, but not the final list of supported wheels.


P.S. the T80 is bungee cord centering effect only, just like a whole bunch of other Thrustmaster wheels.

Huh, and I was on fence about whether or not to wait for a PS4 wheel, I'm glad I didn't hold my breath.

This looks just like the old thrustmaster ferrari wheel which was pretty poor, and got low review scores.

Its too bad the first wheel is such a cheap one.

I'm sure we won't see a "PREMIUM" PS4 wheel until we start seeing some GT7 release rumbles.
