PS4 Sooo...Supported wheels PS4 / No Fanatec

maybe it would be nice if someone told us the truth

 

the truth is sony only want licensed peripherals on their platform. They can also tell developers not to support unlicensed peripherals like wheels if they want to launch on sonys platform. Pretty much the same reason driveclub doesn't support fanatec as although the devs could add support sony wouldnt allow them as fanatec dont have a license

 

And again: I'm gonna throw it in and it will be right! It l's not gonna be a Direct Drive wheel! Watch my words.... Again....

 

i would be amazed if it was direct drive, i really cant see it, plus a direct drive wheel would be wasted on GT Sport

 

Trust me. I know. It will not be a DD. I know a lot about it, even price ) but cam't share it... Sorry

 

no need to apologise

 

Thank you

 

My goodness, fanboys in this thread are so stupid. http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/PS4/Fanatec-support-PS4/m-p/24483823
Protecting sony and still saying Kunos "chose" to remove support....and that it's fanatec's fault. Make up your mind lol

 

stupid is right

 

Day One Patch has patched-out Fanatec! I know, because my PS4 AC was working with my CSW 1.5 plus Logitech G27 Pedals until I downloaded the 1.01 Patch!
If someone want to try, just uninstall the 1.01 patch. After 1.01 uninstallation there will be no online-driving only. It also worked before 1.01 Patch was out.

I have had an long Support-Chat with Fanatec right now - and they really do not understand (not the Support-Team but the CEO/Marketing/PR), how many Customers are p...ed .ff now of using Fanatec-Products with PS4!

Sure, there might be this silly "rumors" that SONY does not want some real alternative to GT-Sports - but who might be that stupid in Japan?

My thoughts about Fanatec and AC on the PS4 are as following:

1. Only with Fantec-Whells there are hundreds of possible FFB-Settings available - and AC thanksfully is not pCars, so they disabled any sort of competition eliminating "FFB-Tweak"-Bull****.

2. It might be the fact that, simultaniously to GT Sport, they (Kunos) do want to create the same balance of Steering-Input and disallow Fanatec-Like Adjustments and FFB-Tweaks?!

3. Fanatecs "new" RIM will be supported only - and they can not sell it, if all the older RIMs will still work......... For me, that could be a brief reason to finally sell my Fanatec-Stuff because I do not want to feed them for nothing!

4. SONY is really as stupid as some people think..."security-chip" rofl, rofl...?!

Anyway: I do not see any sense to do it that way. There has to have another solution on the Firmware for the Wheels or even the Games itself.
Why does Fanatec not provide an "PS4-Exclusive-Firmware" that disables all those unwanted features if the game/simulation wants it?!
The console is already able to detect which wheel is connected - it should be possible, or does it not?

Somehow all this discussions are caused by utterly stupid, marketing and public relation departments who can not anticipate with customers who have spend a lot of money to buy their crap...

 

The solution for fanatec is to release a PlayStation 4 hub the same way they had to release an Xbox one hub. That is the only way to satisfy Sony as the new hub would contain the ps4 firmware they have licensed from Sony. There really shouldn't be an issue for fanatec doing this other than cost to them for the licensing. I get there will be people complaining that they have to purchase yet another product and possibly a new clubsport base but that is really not fanatecs fault. The amount of people that defend Sony is unbelievable even when they screw gamers over the fanboys are still blinded by the "for the players" nonsense

 

The one and only SONY and FANATEC need to do now is:

Tell Fanatec-Users "if" and "when" there will be an Solution or new Product from Fanatec.
People own AC already and they can not use it with their expensive Fantec-Harware right now.
People will not wait for weeks or month any longer - they probably will sell their PS4 first and then buy an XB-one instead...

Listen SONY: An Fanatec-Set costs around € 1,500 an PS4 only € 250 to € 400...and what was the price for an XB-one? € 300 ?
What do you think people will do: selling their high-end Fanatec or their PS4?
Just think...

 

i didnt think for a second people would give up their fanatec set up over this, but i do think fanatec will be working on a hub for ps4 similar to the xbox hub. Its just down to how long it takes to get approved.

 

dont see people buying and Xbone i think people will just go pc route in the end.

 

Don't get me wrong but why on earth would someone spend 1500€ to play on a console?
Sorry but I can't understand.
A i5 + amd 470 pc will play everything.

Still I am with you guys about fanatec support.

I play on all current platforms, and the reason why i got Fanatec is (was) the only wheel base that works on all platforms.

 

LOL

Check this reply from SONY! WTF, this person drunk?

Dear xxxx,

Please contact the Customer Service Sony PlayStation.

In this case , we can tell that this has not been a commercial decision of Sony PlayStation , these incompatibilities can occur due to constant updates to the operating system of our consoles to improve the user experience , so we can not guarantee that all third-party devices are compatible with the PlayStation consoles. In this case we recommend that you contact the manufacturer of your device and check if they are working on creating some firmware that allows compatibility with new versions of operating system PlayStation.

 

I call this BS, because one day before the day one patch it worked.
no "updates to the OS".
Complete Sony BS.

 

Well, seems that cronusmax pro v 1.12 supports Fanatec wheels on PS4. But it's unclear to me if FFB is fully supported. I have contacted the support to ask the question.
