Not only did she want to play with the steering wheel, she excelled at it, learning quickly and confidently to become (almost) as good as her dad. My eldest, to my recollection, has never held a PlayStation controller in her life. Not only are games easier to play and more enjoyable, it's also a much more in-depth and engaging experience. I cannot emphasise enough just how much I loved playing with Logitech's G923 Trueforce Racing Wheel.įrom the moment I plugged it in I was transported back to those old days of begging my mum for another 50p so I could play again in the arcades of our summer holidays. Not only did they respect each other, making sure everyone got a fair share of the time, they also helped each other and encouraged each other to succeed. Instead what I witnessed felt more like a miracle that sends shivers down my spine thinking about it now. Given their ages (19 and 17) I expected this to last about 15 minutes and for endless bickering to quickly kick off.
This past weekend I asked both her and my experienced gamer son if they wanted to play it. It's one thing for a hardened old gamer like me to enjoy the added dimension it gives to racing games, it's another thing entirely to do the same for those who just don't care about them. To see just how user friendly it was, I asked a couple of people who had never played on a new-generation console to try it out.Īfter a few minutes of getting to understand what they needed to do in Gran Turismo 7, both were up to speed and breaking lap records in no time with great smiles on their faces. At times it felt like I could be in a racing car on an actual racing track.
The braking system also feels pressure-sensitive, adding a new dimension to taking corners with my feet on both the brake and the accelerator.
