Pretty sure the PS4 is also this.PS3 creators are not PS4 creators.

I assume at this point either the OS team is horribly incompetent or Sony is trying to push their subscription services in lieu of offering this
I remember people bitching about the ps3 multimedia features, because of the cost, and how it wasn't a games machine. Times have changed.

That's what all consoles are. And pretty much any electronic device that "computes". In the case of the PS4 (and Xbox One), they're built on the x86 architecture, meaning they're basically lightly customized PCs.PS3 creators are not PS4 creators.

Wait so what is the PS4 then?
Pretty sure the PS4 is also this.
The PS4 is even more this, as it has a) an x86 chip and b) an OS based on FreeBSD.

Which was fixed and yet the devices still worked.PS3 got FUTA'd by their USB stack (a buffer overflow allowed arbitrary execution of code, which led to all manner of unpleasant [for Sony] developments), so I imagine they're exceedingly cautious in that regard.

The racing game fans are really upset about this. It is a fucking joke. There is no reason my G27 shouldn't work on PS4. If GT7 launches and doesn't support legacy Logitech wheels, it can go fuck itself. I will never touch a console racer again if PS4 paywalls all the existing wheels for some new licensed garbage.
Can't remember where, but it was stated somewhere here on GAF that games can custom code drivers for devices to use, albeit on a game to game basis. So if it doesn't, blame the devs.

Why do you need it?
I've owned a Ps3 since 2010 and I've never connected any USB device/cable other than the charging cable
The lack of proper wheel support sucks so much.
So many lacking features, all amplified by the lack of good communication.
To me its hard to believe how long its taking them to make some very basic things available for PS4, just amateurish.
How is Xbox in regard to those things? Hopefully it has then so Sony feels forced to provide them.

This, basically...shame too...because for what was offered, even at $600 the PS3 was a steal..when you consider that stand alone Bluray players were selling for $1000 at the time...
But people bitched that it was too expensive...so we got the PS4...which is an awesome console...but quite a bit barebones when compared to the PS3...
Maybe more security. I had a feeling sony would be selling memory cards, and not let you use your own HDD on PS4 after the stuff that happened with PS3 which they were very open with. PS3 openness is probably something they learned from since it burned them.

OP, can I get more insight on this?
You are basically saying how PS4 has no HID/USB compatibility at all?
If true, then we can kiss many things goodbye.
I wonder what is the way for making T500RS working then. Emulation? Device-per-device authoring? If so, what is the authenticator? OS? Or some API?
This is getting more and more strange.
And more complicated.
No. I used a Saitek PC gamepad as a Street Fighter Controller. It worked perfectly and was my preferred controller until the FightPad came out.I assume the touchpad has something to do with it
Atleast the controller
Excuse me, but that is both not true and rather insulting to the people that work ridiculous amounts of time to make games in grueling deadlines and they sacrifice a lot of their personal lives to do that. These things are also not 5 minutes things, but something that require both specialized programming and a lot of time to support a huge variety of devices and it doesn't benefit the majority of the user base. The wheel issue is a separate one because of various reasons (one being that even if you could make the drivers for you game to support one you most likely wouldn't be able to use FFB) and as Lab Zero have proven it's still not an easy task and it doesn't guarantee that it will work or pass Certification.Edit: The above is nice to know. But as we all know developers are the laziest people on the planet when it comes to things that take 5 minutes. They can make entire worlds but don't want to make a controller work.
