Post Greatest video game accessory EVAR

Filed under: Gadgets, Motorsports, Videos


Home racing games have come a long way since Pole Position, with controllers providing feedback to virtual drivers, while true to life graphics and vehicle driving dynamics making the action feel much more real. Microsoft has even engineered some real-life smoke from their official steering wheel, even though the software giant from Redmond, Washington really wishes the problem didn't exist.

The pneumatic experts at Festo have taken a big step towards making the most real-life racing game experience, and the extent of on-road feel of their new contraption looks very impressive. Festo uses Fluidic Muscles and mechatronic systems to give users a true sensation of either driving or flying, depending on the software being used. It's really more of an industrial simulator than a game, and we're pretty sure it costs a bit more than a Playstation 3. Either way, we'll need to come up with a business case to AOL for buying one for the Autoblog team. You can check out a video of the Festo system after the jump.

Thanks for the tip, thesawzall!Continue reading Greatest video game accessory EVAR

Still sucks that VG steering wheel/pedal set-ups come with the pedals on the floor.

LOL seriously guys, wouldn't it motivate you to take video games more seriously. plus it would greatly improve your wallet. ha ha by not having to buy as many parts for your car. (considering you have Health Care, and aren't too bad of a driver) lol I know my paretns would be Psyched if I got one like that. ha ha no more engine swaps in a long time, no more painting cause i scraped the wall etc etc.
