I think Dreamcast has a FF wheel available. Which console will give a more satifying experience for racing sims only? Dreamcast has some interesting games coming up like Ferrari F355 Challenge.

The Dreamcast is fun to play some sports games like NFL 2k, but the racing games I've played on it were terrible. If you want F355 Challenge buy the aracade machine... :-) Seriously I doubt the Dreamcast version will even hold a candle to it. Playstation 2 will have the best console racing game for some time to come, Grand Tourismo 2000 (no Ferrari's in it though). The old PSX console was probably the most heavily racing oriented console ever, and I'm sure with the PS2 it will be the same way....but the PC will still have the higher quality racing games. Jon

I see you can get Ubisoft's racing sim on two console systems. Wonder how that is compared to the PC version. -- Nos

Most of them are complete rebuilt, like F12k or SCGT on the PSX. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.WeRace.net -- People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

Just lower resolutions for Tomb raider.

I believe DC only supports rumble packs, or maybe vibrating wheels, but not true FF. Can anyone confirm this?

Correct. The DC has timed vibrations via a rumble pack. A far cry from real force feedback. -- Joe Marques Please remove "NO SPAM" to e-mail me.
