To the guys who own racing wheels... Is the Thrustmaster t80 worth getting? Been playing Driveclub and wouldn't mind a steering wheel, but don't think that i want to pay $350+ for one... not yet anyway. Worth getting a t80, or should i hold on and grab a better one later on? Cheers.
Edit: Even if i was to get it for less than $100, doesn't seem worth it. Doesn't have much going for it.
I couldn't really tell you. What I can tell you though is it has a bungie cord in it and no force feedback. The problem with this gen is there's no real option for an affordable decent wheel with force feedback like we did with the DFGT last gen.
All the bungie cord is doing is flinging the wheel back to centre so you get a fake sense of tension in the wheel.
I'd personally get a T300 but it's $490 for one so you do need to be a serious racer to fork out that much. If it's just a novelty that's going to wear off for you and you don't venture into other racing games, then I probably wouldn't even bother with a wheel at all. I'd say (even though I haven't played it), DriveClub is arcade enough to be easy and enjoyable enough to play with a controller. Once you get into sim racers, it become less enjoyable and more difficult to play with a controller.
The key is getting a wheel with force feedback. It makes a huge difference because you can actually feel what the car is doing ... it's 'almost' like driving the real thing.
