If you've been patiently waiting for NFS's PC release, then the wait is nearly over. EA just announced it'll be available 17 March with a bunch of exclusive features

It’s fair to say that Need For Speed already looks pretty damn gorgeous on console, but with the announcement that the PC version will finally hit virtual shelves on 17 March, EA has promised an even better looking game. PC gamers with high-end machines will be able to enjoy the game at 4k resolution with an unlocked framerate.

As we guessed following yesterday’s teaser video, NFS on PC comes with manual transmission (this will also be available to console users via an update soon), but the exciting news is that wheel and peripheral support is coming to the PC version of the game - Logitech, Thrustmaster and Fanatec will have compatible wheels from launch.

The PC version will also contain all the updates applied to the console version via free DLC straight out of the box, with the only exception being the Showcase mode, which will be available shortly after launch.

Since the PC version is getting wheel support will the console version get the same treatment soon?

They confirmed on their FB page that consoles are getting manual transmission in next update, and I think it would be logic move to implement wheel support too.

It’s a joke how such basic features are being put as highlights of the “new” version of the game.
WOW 60fps on a PC, WOW wheel support in a RACING game - it’s like highlighting mouse+kb support in an FPS game.

This gives a bad name to NFS and arcade racers in general.
