I mean, I am sure it would be amazing to play GT7 with this set up, but I am not that into racing games to drop 700 bucks on this. Maybe GT7 will capture me like MotorStorm 1/2 did back in the day and then maybe I could justify it. I would at the very least just like to try it once. But probably not.

Aggesan898d ago

I the world of sim racing gear, 700:- is not that much. The DD is Fanatechs entry level wheel base.

_SilverHawk_898d ago

Amazing deal for that wheel really. I cant wait for gt7. Probably Logitech will be making a new wheel for gt7s release

Neonridr898d ago

in the grand scheme of things, yes I agree that the DD is considered entry level.. However asking any regular person to drop 700 and say it's not that much isn't as easy of ask.

I have a Thrustmaster T300RS and it does me just fine. I don't play enough racing games to warrant any sort of upgrade.

bouzebbal898d ago

I like his German accent..
Looks very good. I love the series but having this expensive gear requires I play this non stop.

outsider1624898d ago

GT is one of my favorite. I'll stick with a simple logitech g29..lol. 700 is too much for me too.

EazyC898d ago

Sim racing is a bit different though, it's genuinely trying to act as a substitute for going to a track . In which case, spending thousands can seem more than justified.

For myself it's become more interesting than videogames themselves, as quality seems to have dropped off consdierably....whereas sim racing has generally just gotten better constantly (hardware and software, value for money etc).

I think this kinda thing is for someone who probably would be interested to go full simming at some point but would also like to keep one foot in videogame land so they can play Gran Turismo etc.

Sarcasm898d ago (Edited 898d ago )

People have literally spent thousands on a racing setup for their PC racing sims. It's just at least nice Fanatec is offering something for PS5 players

I get excited by the video
I see the price then everyone hears
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOO

medman898d ago

Well, since I don't have a racing seat/rig to connect this to, can I use my toilet as a seat? Is this thing water proof? Can I get rumble functionality added to my toilet?

badz149898d ago

urgh...700 bucks for a toilet...kinda overkill, no?

dbcoops898d ago

Where did you get "toilet" from?

Petebloodyonion898d ago

That wheel looks sick!
I'm not a big racing fan but I have to admit that I would really love to try something like that.

CornholioX898d ago

The steering wheel looks damn nice but i'm still happy with my Thrustmaster T-GT that i have for couple of years. Looking forward for GT7 and using my steering wheel again :)

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai15h ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga6h ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

XiNatsuDragnel11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

ravens5210h ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_5h ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

KwietStorm_BLM5h ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

NotoriousWhiz9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_5h ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.

Xbox No Longer Has Its Head In The Game

Microsoft & Xbox have shut down Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks to lay off more workers, insinuating that they're not in the game anymore.

XiNatsuDragnel1d 6h ago

They're headless for a long time because closing tango isn't exactly a good move

PapaBop8h ago

Ever since that cringe Kinect reveal they've never been the same. They used to make some amazing games and do great deals with third parties Early on in the 360 era they had games like Chromehounds and Shadowrun, both well ahead of their time. Now instead of nurturing their studios, they'd rather gaslight gamers and throw billions on pre existing studios. Not sure how Spencer is still in a job, I wouldn't trust him to organise a piss-up in a brewery.

Father__Merrin8h ago

We've said all along Spencer needs to go. I wish xbox went back to xbox only with new gears fable forza halo releases lots of third party releases

Those early rainbow 6 Vegas days and phantasy star universe are gone forever

S2Killinit5h ago

MS has its head in the game but the game they are playing is something different from what console gamers expect from a platform. MS’s end game has always been to use the xbox as a trojan horse.

XiNatsuDragnel3h ago

Lol that's funny well this plan they have isn't working homie

Acquisitions always come with cuts

Tacoboto1d 1h ago

Especially for Microsoft, when Booty pretty much said they didn't know how to handle that many studios.

Why even make the acquisition then.

-Foxtrot1d ago

Didn’t they make the swipe for Bethesda when Sony wanted like 6 months exclusiveness for Starfield

It’s like…chill, you got Rise of the Tomb Raider for a year.

romulus231d ago

Do they always come with senseless cuts becasue that's exactly what cutting Tango was, senseless.

H91d 1h ago

Everyone's acting now that game companies care about games and Xbox is committing the Ultimate betrayal, they are all like this and you have just been quiet about it for far too long

Nuclearmoon1d ago

I wonder if Microsoft do pull out of the console market that it might open the door for valve to relaunch the Steambox. Competition is good for the industry but Microsoft don't even seem to be trying anymore.

UltimateOwnage21h ago

Steam / Valve are one of the few truly pro-consumer bright spots in gaming right now. Thankfully.

“Your game has won some pretty significant awards and is a show piece for where we want to go in the future.”

1 hour later.

“We’re gonna have to let you go. You can’t cover our 100 billion dollar acquisition. Oh and take your awards too 👍🏾”

Microsoft Opening Xbox Mobile Game Store in July

The Xbox brand is expanding, as an Xbox mobile game store is opening this coming July where Microsoft will brings its "first-party portfolio."

Jin_Sakai2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

“Bond adds that they will start on the web”

This will go nowhere.

Nice knowing you Xbox. This is what happens when the house never gets cleaned.

MrDead2d ago

The only this MS is expanding is the amount of feculence it sprays on everyone who just want to enjoy gaming and make games.

The best thing MS can do for the gaming industry is leave and never return.

XiNatsuDragnel2d ago

Good luck with this even it might not succeed.
