PS5 VR2 for me
So you guys are saying I should test drive the experience before buying, especially since I already have an oculus collecting dust? I would love a great wheel, but I’m not paying out the ass for it. And want at least a good experience!
PSVR2 is a really cool piece of tech, but it lacks the game support to really make it pop right now. However, they’re planning on adding PC support with a little less hardware functionality, pushing its relevance a little
the force feedback is kinda part of the good experience on a racing setup. it’s why the good ones cost a lot.
Oh, the thing is just as cool as I imagined - it’s me who lost the spark & can’t enjoy it anymore.
This is why it’s a good idea to enjoy life a little bit now instead of sacrificing every joy to be able to do it all later. Climb that mountain now while your knees are still capable. Play that video game now while it’s fascinating to you. Learn that language now while you’re cognitive faculties can still serve you. Brew that beer you always wanted to, write that short story you’ve been putting off, teach yourself to paint or bake or play golf now instead of putting it off another year. Strike while the iron is hot or you’ll wish you’d done more with your short time here. You won’t be on your death bed wishing you’d worked more or watched more TV. You’ll wish you’d traveled more or finished that project left undone or spent more time with loved ones, actively living life.
Way back I bought a G25 racing wheel (probably mid 00’s). It is still a great wheel and works as good as when I first got it. Damn thing’s built like a tank. If I’m remembering correctly it was also one of the first proper, good quality 900 degree force feedback wheels.
So you do not use it?
I do from time to time.
The Razer Hydra, which was a standalone pair of 6DoF motion-tracking hand controllers that used magnetic fields to work, and predated similar VR hand controllers by years.
I used it for a few days, played the (surprisingly good and creative) Portal 2 DLC that was built for it, then never touched it again.
…sounds remarkably similar to my experience with the original logitech cyberman; thankfully babbage’s had a generous return policy and lee hutchinson didn’t bat an eye…

With a semi decent wheel you can try some serious simulation like iracing. The point of having a wheel is to start competing at another level. If you start learning the tracks and making decent times, you will enjoy it.
