Second, Thomas has to be the coolest/smoothest most laid back, approachable CEO in history
Great interview with lots of interesting points... Motion Rigs/VR Devices ... yes please
Now, About that black Porsche rim... I want one!
are they working on a dd base and maybe a csw v3, or will the dd come in place of a csw v3 ?? i could imagine that the csw v2 is still to buy when a dd wheel comes out, because dd is much cheaper then a csw v2 base. then fanatec has 3 lines of bases, something for everybody.
i hope that they also work on a new shifter, with the css sq v 1.5 i was a little bit disappointed. i can what it is, but i don't get that a amazing feeling like the other fanatec parts like csw v2, csp v3 or clubsport wheel range.
something in a direction like the dsd pro shifter, in a configuration with sq and man, would be nice !!!
Motion rig sounds awesome!
A bit disappointed that there will be no PS4 wheel for my CSWv2 though. No Gran Turismo Sport for me then. I was kind of hoping they would correct many wrongs in the series on that one once they have a console with more CPU power to handle it. Ah, this does make me sad
Thomas,
Will you announce a timeline for PS4 base when you are able to? Or will you wait till its available for pre-order? Just curious and very anxious for news. great interview by the way and thanks in advance.
I personally like this wheel a lot. It will be one of the best products we ever made and so far everything goes smoothly.
I'm hoping for a CSS-SQ V2 in the near future, perhaps something that has a rumble / haptic feedback when shifting into gear etc I think that would be an incredibly immersive update to the shifter :-bd
I've recently purchased my Porsche 918 RSR rim. Oh my god this piece is amaizing. It looks great and I can't wait to use it with my favorite racing games on my PS4. And now I was close to place my wheel base V2 order. But after I've seen this interview above I have some doubt whether I should wait till the new base for the PS4 is available or not? I really would like to know if this contract wirth Sony is final now or not. And it would be great to hear and see(!) some news about the new base soon.
The major question I have is about the quality. Will the new PS4 base be on the same level like the V2 base or more like the CSL Elite?
Does that mean the PS4 Base will be better than the V2 base? It sounds like that. I hope the PS4 base will be a 'high end' device.
Of course we all would like to get some details on your time line. Please be so kind and provide us with some news as soon as you are allowed to!!!! - Beforehand maybe you can answer one of my questions more precisely compared to what you mentioned in the interview.
Would it be possible to use the 918 RSR rim with the new PS4 base? Based on what you've said in the interview I would assume YES.
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers...
Could you please be so kind and provide me with the corresponding link? I can't find such a statement from Sony here: Playstation Blog - Many thanks!
@Thomas
Is there a slight chance to get at least a hint on my recent questions?
Many thanks to you as well!
Cheers,
Thorsten
Hi Thomas, Your last reply on this PS4 wheel topic is some time ago already. How about posting some additional news? That would be great! Many thanks! Cheers, Thorsten
