Hi,

I pre-ordered the PS4 limited edition a long time ago, but now I'm hesitant.

On the PS4 right now I play a large variety of titles such as GTA, Fifa, UFC, BF4, Outlast etc.
I also play a little bit of Driveclub...but that's my last choice. I really hate how the cars handle and how the game responds to the pressure of the DS4 triggers. They also feel cheap.
Of course I don't know how PCars would feel with the triggers but I'm not expecting much of a difference.
EDIT:
Pro - I see now that the Fanatec CSR will be compatible with the PS4 and PCars, sweet!!!!! I could finally use it.
Cons - I won't be able to use my normal smartphone earbuds + microphone and plug them in the CSR to communicate with other players (it only works with the xbox 360 headset)


Recently I bought the Xbox One with FM5 and FH2 and I'm having a LOT of fun. I played FM3/4 for years so I'm not surprised with the quality of multiplayer mode and interaction with other players by microphone. Great build quality of the controller and headset, as for the xbox 360's, but what really surprised me is the rumble of the triggers when cars lose traction. Will it work with PCars?
Pro - I have a lot of friends on Xbox one to play with on FM5, and I'm sure they will buy PCars as well.
Cons - No Fanatec CSR support, so I would play with the controller. Screw Microsoft for this.

What do you guys think?

I fixed your bold-facing, and allowed you to answer your own question.

Yeah, that's why I edited my message. I checked a few hours ago it is compatible with PCars on PS4, but not on Xbone. (It is Microsoft's fault after all. You should have bolded that too :ill:)
Alright, we're done here :sly:👍
 
If your wheel works only on the PS4, then it's a no brainer - buy it for PS4.

You'll find plenty of new racing buddies here.

The ps4 does seem to have the most players by quite a gap so far
yeah...Based on the way it's been marketed, I am pretty sure a lot of people think this game is only for PS4. MS will never put money into promoting any racing games other than Forza and this makes sense from a business standpoint.
Truth is though, PCars looks good and plays solid on the Xbox One and if you are thinking of playing on the pad, then I'd say the Xversion is the one for you. I always say, though, that playing with friends is more fun so you should take this into consideration as well. If your friends are playing on the Xbox One then this seems to be the best choice for ya!

You should still be able to plug your smartphone earbuds + mic into the DS4. The DS4 will still be recognized as the player controller even though you use the unofficial peripheral to control your vehicle etc. I dont have my MK disc atm or else I could test with my fightstick and DS4 for you.

Thanks I'll try that:tup:
