Thrustmaster "something big" pre-announcement

[skazz]

So I guess a bunch of us got a mail from Thrustmaster stating that they would be bringing something innovative:

Anyone aware of what it could be?

They look like new regular pedals that will be bundled with DD steering wheels for PS and Xbox.

Thrustmaster working on direct drive PS5 and PC-compatible wheel base

First look, we’ve been hands-on with a prototype version, which is set to sit in the middle of the Thrustmaster sim racing range.

I think this can be good, I think this could also lead thrust Master back fk rejoining with Gran Turismo as the official supplier and wheel support now that fanatic is having all kinds of issues,

Whens this ? In 3 years time ? They are so far behind other DD manufacturers that at this point, they lost many loyal TM customers. And dont get me started on the lack of Xbox support….

Excited to hear this. I have a T300 with load cell pedals and a couple of rims on my PS5 and I’ve been looking for options to upgrade to DD. With the uncertainty around Fanatec, I’ve been considering using Moza with the Brooks Rasolution box but I think I will sit tight for now in the hope I can get my hands on a fully compatible Thrustmaster DD base

But they also said console DD would be available by December 2023…..

It's not true.

They were just saying since last year that they were working on a console version and that they would not give any more information until it was finished.

The device seems now ready for the launch... so it's just great!

The box's opening/front side looks similar to the t818, so probably no side mounting :/
