360 Racing wheels on XB1 - watch and cry

I realise the news is out on this but wasnt sure if anyone had seen those wheels there offering ... What a joke !

Those things they presented are a freakin insult , and the pedals !

what a shame it will be for forza 5 if theres no decent sim hardware to utilise it .

Actually the Thrustmaster Variant of wheels looks pretty good, I'm thinking it's a cheaper version of the T500, it has a shifter (THBA) it also has a clutch (T3PA), F1 wheel add on, and other wheel add on, sure not a Fanatec, and prob wont match the quality of Fanatec but its got most of what most would want in a good racing wheel. Yes I'm still spewing on my Fanatec at not having the yes or no I want, I think more info is needed and not quite sure if some have jumped the gun on saying it's not compatible, all I heard was xbox 360 wheel was not compatible, and when reading Thomas post saying they have to wait till Xbox1 is released to be able to confirm if Fanatec wheels will work. Guess we are just going to have to wait and see.

So looks like it's thrustmaster for me at this stage of I do kind take the wheel (real) road

yep its all too soon fellas, a small bit of patience will see fanatec release some kind of module to play their equipment, they will not just fall over and die.
Looks like it just wont be on release.

I actually like the MadCatz! Whats appealing is the ability to add alternative shifters and even wheels in the future. Whilst both pedal sets have ditched the clutch pedal (wankers), the pedal quality seems superior on the MC then the Thrushmaster.

Its hard to admit it, but after much reading on various forums and websites on how much of a step up XB1 is compared to the 360, ive recently concluded that our expensive yet beloved Fanatec units are now last-generation in gaming controllers. Realistically, Fanatec have been using the same technology for a long time now, albeit a few upgrades here and there. Xbox 360 was indeed a (large) upgrade of the original Xbox, but it essentially still carried the same technology. XB1 you would have to say is all new from the ground up (think of the Commodore upgrade from VZ to the VE in 2006 perhaps to put it into perspective).

It will be hard to part with - especially with how much money we parted with (for me, twice) for a Fanatec product, but if gaming is going to be that superior on XB1, I shall bite the bullet and say welcome to the new generation of gaming!

Just found this site looks interesting.

Sorry not working for me,but there is a youtube video if you can find it.

[Is this the one you were talking about Rinkles?]
Point im trying to make is there showing a 3 pedal setup for Xbone.
Sorry about the senior moments.
YES thats the one thank's.

Okay both have alternative shifters and wheels now.....Thrushmaster is back on top again.
Can anyone confirm the availability of these come the release day? Like can I buy one off the shelf at EB when I pick XB1 up?

That's the funniest thing I've heard all day!, sorry mate, but you should know how long it took up to get the fanatec stuff shipped to Aust, a couple of years back!

hahaha cmon maate! Ive been the dark for a while now lol!!

Hmmmm......Scheiße!!! :s

"The xbox one is so far advanced that no last gen device will work on it"

Translation - We Micro$oft plan on syphoning royalties from device manafacturers all over again and its unlikely they will want to be rorted and held to ransom for a second time like with the 360 .Than means The chances are you wont see there products on xbox one .

I have never bought anything of these websites, so I have no idea on their customer support.

Have bought items from gamesmen with no problems.

Eb now have the Thrustmaster for pre-order. release date 22/11/2013 $649

https://ebgames.com.au/xbox-one-164502-Thrustmaster-TX-Racing-Wheel-Ferrari-458-Italia-Edition-Xbox-One

650 for that piece of shit, looks plastic and no clutch pedal,(oh hold on, as an add on??????more $$$ please ) Im not even close to considering that wheel at all.
seriously? someone made an analogy to the VZ-VE changeover earlier.
Do you think the performance mod chip for a VE commodore was avail upon release date??? no it wasnt.
was there one avail 2 weeks after, yes there was.

Give these wheel manufacturing companies some time.
Is it possible for maybe Dazz or Wolfy to enquire with Hess from Pagnian, surely they have a position or stance on the current situ?

JB Hifi may knock another $50 off that price.
Keep an eye on them.

Well pickle my grandmother, see I told ya they would soon be on the web site for pre order  

I guess they better cash in on the " I want it on first day release" madness, after all they paid huge licensing for just that reason...

RU

Hahaha yeah......now just to work out where to buy it from. EB i will have it the next day buuuut is more exxy, online and it wont be until Tuesday or Wednesday after release.

Yeah poor suckers like myself will be paying for it for release day pickup buuuut bugger it, why not!

AS i live on Gold Coast i gave Hess a call last Friday & he has no idea if something is being worked out for our current wheels, or even if Fanatec is bring out a new wheel for the xb1. He also couldn`t even tell me if he was getting thrustmaster or Madcatz wheels. So basically he was no help at all at the moment & either dosen`t know anything, or isn`t allowed to say just yet. The only thing i took out of conversation was that he dosen`t know of any new Fanatec wheel coming out yet, so hopefully we will get something for our current wheels. Only my guess though. Keep those fingers crossed, time will tell.

Cheers DT, glad someone has tried to get some info from the source.
Good to know it wasnt a straight up NO.

Hmm guess we wont be the only ones crying, and looking through different forum and post be spewing if you cancelled your pre order for X1 I'd think, ok so they might get drive club to work but that's delayed to next year...

Prob gonna save up for a new wheel I think. Thrustmaster for Xbox1?

(quoted from else where)

No ps3 steering wheel support for ps4, quoted from the official ps4 faq:

Will PS3 peripherals such as fighting sticks and steering wheels work with PS4?
Generally speaking, no. However, at launch, users will be able to use these controllers if a specific game title allows it to be used within the game. This decision is upon the game developer and will vary from game to game.

Theres a slight chance i could get talked into a new wheel if its fanatec and my elites will work with it but if it has to be new pedals aswell theres no chance as for top line ones like club/s and elite pedals they cost more than the wheel .

How this all pans out is what will decide if i get an X1and FM 5 or not .

I read that as the  older stuff will work with the ps4 and a driving game with wheel support gets it done

In contrast the X1is flat out not compatible with older stuff end of story ... developer or not .

Yeah I just think its a very grey area, and after reading all the PS4 release options on the console and in some cases lack of and then looking at the release game wise for launch, and then reading the constant whining bagging of next gen xbox and people abandoning the Xbox1 cause of non compatability of xbox 360 peripherals, I actually find it very amusing "Will PS3 peripherals such as fighting sticks and steering wheels work with PS4?
Generally speaking, no." but of course there is the "However" part.

Be a great world if all was good with current wheels for next gen consoles but I plan on having my next gen console (xbox1) for a long time(till another gen is released anyway), so if another wheel is needed guess I will just have to suck it up and move forward and get 1. Forza, F1, Pcars, make having a compatible wheel worthwhile for me. Just need to save.

"A few people are wondering why we are so quiet.
We will not make the mistake again to mention new things too early. We
will announce something new if production is about to start. We are
working on several products for several platforms and every one of our
new products will set a new benchmark as they did in the past.

We are also trying hard to protect the investment of our existing customers
by making our current products upwards compatible. But we cannot
confirm that before the final consoles are released.

There is also some noise floating about that the 360 is connectable to the XB1 via HDMI and that it may be possible to play the 360 through the XB1, using the 360 compatable peripherals. all unconfirmed but this is coming out of the Rock Band forums where people are in same situ with their drum kits/guitars/keyboards etc etc.

I LIVE IN HOPE!!!!!
