Games. With joysticks. With the force feedybacky thing.

Right, I've managed to get hold of a Wingman Strike Force 3d joystick. I've managed to entertain myself with the config program for....ooooh...about 27 seconds and decided I would give it a go on a real game.....



.....until I realised I have no idea what games work 'well' with force feedback. So what I want to know is, what games have you played with force feedback thingys, and did it rock your world?

And I want to know now.

With a joystick? Good luck...

If it was a joypad I'd have said racers like MotoGP2 or NFS:U

I got a couple of games bundled with my Sidewinder. Interstate '76 was one.

Well, if you have a force feedback joystick, firing guns is highly

Playability is of course quite terrible, but then nothing beats the mouse & keyboard combination.

Re: Games. With joysticks. With the force feedybacky thing.

Freespace 2 has it, if memory serves.

It's also perfectly legal to file share it, because the EULA says you can make copies for other people, as long as you don't sell it.

Re: Games. With joysticks. With the force feedybacky thing.

Roll on that clause into Microsoft's EULA.

Just talking about joypads and stuff made me shoot off and play MotoGP2 online for a bit.
I used to play it with the keyboard before i got myself a Wingman Rumblepad which are (dual analog control sticks, digital dpad, throttle slider if you're into space/flight sims (which i'm not really) and 9 buttons including 2 shoulder buttons. oh and an extra button to swap the left analog function with the dpad (which is also on the left) if you feel so inclined).
ANYWAY:
The point is I have no idea how I ever managed to play on the keyboard. I've got the right stick set up as analog throttle/brake, the left stick as analog steering, the two shoulder buttons as lean forward and back for those really fast straights and tight corners, and various buttons do other things like independant front and rear braking.
The ammount of control you get is brilliant, and the game uses the force-feedback to simulate the 'feel' of the bike, so you can feel it starting to lose grip if you turn too hard for example, way before you get much in the way of a visual indication.

It's always worth buying a decent gamepad.
(actually I bought 2: 2 player NHL dontchaknow)
