I don't do consoles with handheld controllers, which these videos
clearly are being "driven" with, hence the jerky steering inputs. This
really puts me off.

However, Gran Turismo HD on a PS3 with a G25 hooked up to it is another
matter. It really works well with a 900 degree steering setup and feels
remarkably good.

I guess it is whether developers will put the effort in to make driving
games work well with wheels on consoles or will target the majority
using handheld controllers.

Regardless, the capability for consoles to produce decent physics and
gameplay more akin to their PC counterparts is getting ever closer.

Look at the car behaviour in this GT HD vid (not a particularly quick
lap btw) and it loses all the "console type" on off steering of the DIRT
vids.

Hopefully DIRT will support wheels in a similar way and not be what I
would call a stereotyped "console racer".
