D+PAD Magazine: HKS Racing Controller Reviewed

D+PAD Magazine writes:

Peripheral manufacturer Thrustmaster recently unveiled its official force-feedback steering wheel for Gran Turismo 5 – the Thrustmaster RS T500 and, boy, is it a thing of beauty – constructed out of gleaming metal and coming complete gear shift paddles and a footplate with a full set of pedals, it is a racers dream… However, there are couple of flies in the bespoke-ointment – most significant is the prohibitively high asking price of £450 – for most gamers it is unlikely to break out of ‘dream’ status and come crashing into their living rooms. The second problem is that, in an era of plastic guitars and room-clearing motion-controllers, physical space is a very real issue for a lot of gamers. It is here that Eagl3’s HKS Racing Controller comes revving into view.

Yeah, but for the price as long as it works you really can't go wrong.

I'll stick with wheel controllers myself, but I can see the benefits from having a controller like this.... as well as the drawbacks. Wired ewww.

What is wrong with this ugly-looking controller?

Bathyj5633d ago

I think it looks great.
Way to think outside the box (Ugh, I hate people who say that.)

Never the less, a controller specifically for racing games is a good idea, even though it will never replace a good wheel.

Having said that, no wireless and no rumble means they might as well scrape the whole idea, no one will buy this.

Ha, "Thrustmaster"..

Hey baby, they call me the Thrustmaster, care to dance?

It is quite interesting, would very much like to try this one out.

A brighter colour scheme will definitely suit this pad, just so you can clearly see control lay-out.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle54d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
