Special: Gamescom 2023 - highlights for sim-racing equipment

The Gamescom event in Köln has come to an end and I decided to make a video on the most interesting things presented here for sim-racing hardware.

00:00:13 MOZA
00:02:47 PXN
00:04:01 Thrustmaster

I am a gamer, but not of car games...
And now I'm thinking about buying equipment, so I would say that Moza is more appealing.
The issue of various updates/improvements worries me the least.
If I were planning to upgrade the equipment, to be honest, I would sell the old one and buy a whole new set again.

I'm thinking of buying a GT-style wheel and this Vision GS looks absolutely awesome. I wonder how much rotation lag does the screen have, I assume it will rotate similarly to the Fanatec's Bentley wheel?

I definitely agree with you that it was strange to hear that Fanatec was not there at a prominent show in their own country. While I can understand that their product line is pretty fleshed out and that they have already been pretty active in offering aggressive marketing against their competition, I think that a lot of people would like to know what is going on with QR2, and maybe to a lesser extent, the Bentley GT wheel. It also makes me wonder if the costs of associating themselves with the GT3 series has been a bit burdensome?

Anyway, I have been closely following Moza’sprogress in the market, and I have to say I’m pretty impressed. Having been unfortunately left without a wheel for about a year now (due to life and othe rthings), I’ve been eyeing the DD Pro for both PC and console compatibility, but now that Moza has announced Xbox compatibility, I really think it might be worth holding on to see if they announce something soon for PlayStation. Their QR and shafts seem rock solid, so I might be willing to wait a bit more to see what they might have up their sleeve before pulling the trigger. Believe me, practicing with a controller in the meantime is no fun! 😂

Moza have been killing it lately with all the product releases. I wonder if Fanatec will release their Bentley wheel before Moza release their Vision GS

[iLiokardo]

Weird decisions on that wheel. The rim goes across the top, thus no buttons there -- but not across the bottom??? What in the world?

[dennm]

Moza will be good in a couple years, the biggest thing with wheels is compatability and reliability, once they start to get known for these they will overtake Fanatec. Fanatec haven't done anything since CSL DD.

The big brands are slacking, 2024 will be an interesting year for sim racing.

[testthepest]

Fanatec was not there because anyone would have asked them about Q2

[Stevex]

2:02 very very nice. I like that wheel rim. They almost have me sold. They just need to release the R3 playstation compatible and I'm sold with that truckers wheel rim.

[sander]

I want to see how the new Forza will handle wheels. Forza 7 wasn’t so good on it!

[AKKI]

Thrustmaster bros...
No console T818, no 488 GT3 wheel, just a shitty 90° angle rig lmao

[robertcarr]

And thats a pricy knob... Thrustmaster and Logitech are in trouble.

[Goryglory]

Sorry but No Moza for me. Bloody product copying others. i will only support Thrustmaster or maybe some Day Fanatec

[orangechannel]

I laughed at the phrase that moza makes good steering wheels. They just don't have them. Tiny Es and disgusting, uncomfortable, heavy and expensive CS. KS is slightly better, but still more expensive than analogues.
I had to buy a car steering wheel.

moza is trash .. their costumer support is terrible also the shipping.
