[PS3 Accessory Review] This Is The Interactive Gaming Chair

Gamers are always looking to enhance the way they play games, whether it be on their PC with multiple screens or on their consoles, using state-of-the-art wireless gaming headsets. If you’re an avid gamer like me then you’ve probably at somepoint during your gaming life considered buying a gaming chair.

I have now had the pleasure of playing with the latest gaming chair on the retail market – the 4Gamers Interactive Gaming Chair.

I first had the opportunity to test out a prototype of the 4Gamers Interactive Gaming Chair during my visit to their offices back in January 2012. Needless to say, I was impressed. A few months down the line, back in July, I was offered another opportunity to play with the Interactive Gaming Chair, I just couldn’t turn an opportunity like this down. After spending some quality time with this newly launched product, I have collected my thoughts below on whether it really is something special.

PlayStation Move Racing Wheel Detailed

I know, most people see these types of accessories as, well, worthless junk. However, as the video above depicts, there’s a lot more to this accessory than meets the eye. Besides the handles being adjustable (to go from a car-like steering wheel design to a motorcycle-like design), it also has longer, concave triggers for better finger grip, paddle shifters, and its own directional DualShock motors (one on each side), all powered by the Move controller itself.

Anton Mikhailov, SCE’s R&D guy, even mentioned how it could be used for flight games as well. Another really cool feature, as far as motorcycle control goes, the right handle could be twisted as a throttle, which also drives the right hand DualShock motor. Watch out for this later this year. It will retail for around $40.

E3 2012: PlayStation Move Racing Wheel Accessory Shown

When the conference for Sony opened yesterday, one thing I noticed was a crazy wheel accessory for the PlayStation Move in their hype trailer. Earlier, Sony officially showed it off for E3, and I think it kind of looks pretty cool. Basically, the Move controller attaches in the center, with buttons moved to areas on the peripheral itself. One of the cooler things about it is that it has adjustable handle grips to make them like a car or a motorcycle. Check after the jump for some more key features.

Some of the games confirmed for support are LittleBigPlanet Karting (which I will have a post up in a little bit for), Gran Turismo 5, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, BurnOut Paradise, and MotorStorm Apocalypse (among others). You’ll be able to pick this up for $39.99 this Fall.
