The game makes up for this with an improved driving model, and an official licence which helps enormously with the game’s presentation whilst also allowing for a fully fleshed out single player season. Unfortunately, you don’t get the huge selection of cars or the modability of its predecessor.

This is actually pretty awesome as you get to race recognisable cars like Lamborghinis and Ferraris rather than some generic open wheeler which looks more or less the same plus or minus an air intake every year.

It's basically a series which races souped up, track ready versions of the world’s fastest hyper cars. The game benefits greatly from the Blancpain GT Series official licence, even if few of us have ever heard of the competition. Further, the G920 matches the G29 on cost but not on features, which seems to be gouging Xbox users, as they get roughly half the buttons and no RPM LED readout.While never quite gaining the following of the original Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competitizione is a step in the right direction for the franchise. The pricing of the G29 and might be justified if they were updated to belt drive. There is also the need to have two separate products for PS3/PS4 or Xbox One. Fans and owners of prior Logitech wheels may scoff at the omission of a shifter, (long overdue) lack of belt drive, and higher cost of this new wheel. The included pedal set is just as solid, and works together with the wheel to give a surprisingly realistic driving experience, especially when paired with modern racing sims. The Logitech G29 Driving Force is a solidly built racing wheel.
The rest of us working class folk will just have to stick with our lower cost wheels and drool over their wares. Basically, if you want as authentic of a simulation as possible (and have plenty of money to burn), Fanatec is the way to go. Thrustmaster does hold an advantage over competing wheels in that they have a very reasonably priced F1-style wheel add-on.įanatec gear is in a completely different league here, with $600 belt-driven wheel bases and $300 pedal sets, you’re cracking a grand before you even add a shifter or even an actual steering wheel. Triple pedal sets range $100-$150, and the shifter add-on comes in at another $150 (compared to the G29 shifter at $60). Thrustmaster’s wheel features belt drive and comes in at the same $399 price point, but it only comes with dual pedals. The T300RS is an interesting contrast to the G29. While the G29 reportedly has higher resolution encoders and more buttons, the lack of a shifter is an annoying proposition considering the $150 increase in cost.

The G27 also launched a full $100 cheaper than the G29’s $399 price tag, and currently sells in the $250 range. They do have a point, as the G27 came with a shifter (a $60 add-on for the G29). When the G29 launched, there was some grumbling about this being a more expensive wheel than its predecessor. It was not to a bad degree, as Logitech wheels use helical gearing to minimize the effect, but in the places where it was noticeable I was reminded of why some shy away from gear-driven wheels in favor of smoother belt-driven wheels. I did notice a bit of a ‘notchy’ feeling to the wheel while slowly turning against the feedback (common while making small steering adjustments in a sweeping turn at speed). The G29 does have its limits in this regard, but the dual motors can provide an adequate level of feedback – similar to the maximum effort required for a modern car with power assisted steering. Hit a curb at a specific angle and the game will try to rip the wheel out of your hands. Front wheel drive cars torque steer just as they would in real life.
When coming over crests, the feedback reduces as the front wheels lift off of the track. If the car shifts towards oversteer and begins to rotate, you can feel it in the wheel feedback long before you see the effects of it on-screen (when it would be too late to do anything about it, in the case of the light weight and twitchy Ariel Atom I was driving). When paired with a driving sim that correctly simulates the tire’s physical interaction with the road surface, the G29 *felt* just like driving a real car on the track. I had my doubts as to how good of an experience a racing wheel could bring, but after using the G29, I’m certainly a believer.
