G25 Weak force feedback with PS3

Hi all,

Will try to make my story short.

I am mostly in to racing games and i was once a PC gamer using my G25. Then i moved to the PS3 and i find that the force feeback effect is severly weak on the PS3 compared to the PC. I have played common games on PS3 as well as PC ...Grid, Dirt, NFS carbon etc etc. But the springs feel extremly weak, even with the maximum setting set within the PS3 game.

I wrote to Logitech, and the best they could come back with was that "G25 works differently with differant platforms". Now my choices are to either lose the PS3 or lose the G25.

Has anyone heard of this problem before. Can anyone help. I love the Gran Turismo 5 Prologue but its a shame that even with force feedback strength 10 the whell feels super light.

more than likely because it isnt officially supported, just wait till gt5.

The feedback from dirt on the ps3 was by far the strongest I have felt on a console. Grid also had very strong feedback. Come to think of it, gt5p is the only game on the ps3 that I would say had weak force feedback. Ferrari challenge, and f1ce also had feedback strong enough that I didn't use the strongest settings.

Same here. Both Ferrari Challenge and F1CE has stronger FFB.

Exactly. Give FC a try with the FFB on "High", & then tell us if you think the G25 doesn't put out strong FFB. In this case, it's definitely the software (GT5P) & not the hardware.

Couldn't agree more. The FFB in Ferrari Challenge, when set to high on the G25, makes my arms and hands so tired I find that I am compelled to take a break at least every 45 minutes/1 hour. The FFB in GT5P is not even remotely as strong.

Maybe something is wrong with your game setups or wheel. It looks like the only game with mild feedback is GT5p.

Weirdly enough, I also think gt5p is the only game with lame ffb on ps3.
I have both F1ce and FC on PS3 and I have IRacing for PC and it was when I played those games I realised how good of a wheel the G25 is.
There's 3 things I don't like about the wheel and ffb isn't one of those. The wheel itself could have been bigger; it's not supported by Microsoft's X360; Logitech does not make a "cockpit" for it (I like to have everything from the same brand).

So basicaly, this means you need a new PS3 game!
