Yeah for racing games I think being in the car and having that absolutely one to one connection to how it's handling and how you're steering and throttle inputs are affecting your cornering... yeah it definitely ups the performance of anyone. It's like taking a competent driver in real life, who never plays video games, and giving them a small 2D screen and a controller, obviously they're not going to be able to drive the way they do in real life and probably crash out a million times. It's that in reverse!
This. I always take corners dangerously in driving games, to the point of near crashes, because I don't really let off the gas. Obviously something I'd never do in real life. It's not that I'm doing it to be risky, it's just that the depth perception isn't there, so therefore I don't really have a good sense of when to break effectively. It's also why i opt to keep driving lines on.
This has me really excited.
Edit: Damn... just looked up the G29.... that costs the same as the VR headset, which sucks considering all those cool functions of it are kind of lost on VR, since you can't even see it anyway =(
