Most of us with Logitech wheels (me included) are frustrated that they're not supported on the PS4. However, nobody really knows the exact reason they're not. To say that Sony has "banned" Logitech is a bit of stretch IMO. I think initially people assumed that Sony had signed some kind of exclusive contract with Thrustmaster, but that theory has been disproven now that Fanatec is supported.
I'm sorry
@zer05ive but you might be wrong here. Acording to all I've been reading that was a sort of commercial strategies clash between Sony and Logitech that caused some celeuma and friction between the two companies ending up with Sony not providing Logitech the essencial programming codes for they're equipment to work with the new PS4.
Regarding Fanatec and what it's CEO, Thomas Jackermeier was posting on twitter a couple of months ago was an open suspicion that Sony had given Thrustmaster the exclusivity for PS4 support and that Fanatec was trying to open a round of negotiations with Sony to let Fanatec in. Apparently they achieved success.
as for your decision to not to "pact with corporate monopoly games", how do you plan building your super gaming PC without doing so? If you think Sony is a corporate monopoly (hint: they're not), then what do you call Microsoft? A super monopoly?? Or perhaps a double monopoly since they cash in on both PC and console gaming?
Here is a situation where I'm not interested in seeing the whole picture as it would be interesting in any other situation. Of course there's monopoly issues, fierce commercial strategies that often hurt someone else in any corporation or medium size company in the world. The thing is, I'm only focused on the racing simulation issue here and as far as I know, Microsoft won't force me to throw my fairly new and in perfect condiction Logitech G27 in the garbage to go buy they're exclusive supported equipment.
Just out of curiosity, what do you consider to be the best racing simulators in the world? And if there are so many out there, why are you opting for Project CARS instead? And as far as your reference to the "poor playstation", try not ever paying for a single upgrade on your PC (to either the hardware or the OS) and check back with me in nine years (the number of years ago the PS3 was launched) and let me know how many of the games that you own that are even worth playing.
Right now, I consider by far, as best racing simulators Project cars, Assetto Corsa, Iracing and rfactor 2 due to overall quality, realistic physics and sounds and field diversity for classes within the game. Granturiso offers 1200 cars, 3 quarters of it nothing short to useless for quality racing, outdatted, poor physics and shameful engine, gearbox and tire sounds. Although I've only personally experienced Assetto Corsa, I'm a youtube subscriber for some of the most viewed channels specialized in sim racing where I exchange opinions and learn every single detail of what is going on right now in the sim racing world. On the other hand, according to some ratings posted on the Internet by several specialists, Granturismo has been falling down the table of
sim racing enthusiasts preferences sitting by now in the bottom of several top 10 listing in the net.
Sim racing enthusiasts is in bold because GT6 is still a paradise for drifters, cruisers and drag racers.
