Vision Racer – the Ultimate Gaming Chair

We’ve a long history of gaming systems and hardware, and over the last two months we’ve spent the most of our time on two VR3 gaming seats! This ‘gaming revolution’ isn’t just another gaming chair, or gaming rocker – its the high end of gaming systems for the ultimate experience, combining playability and realism. This is a step change from the focus on graphics, to experience.

To really test the system, we installed the Logitech G25 steering wheel which delivers the ultimate in force feedback, and if you combine that with a good set of speakers to deliver the bass, then you have the ultimate machine. The VR3 racing seat is as expensive as it is fast, not for the feint hearted – but hey, its one hell of an experience. If money wasn’t an issue, VisionRacer is the PS3 Gaming Chair winner. If you are using a PS3, you’re realistically limited to 1 LCD (3 for a PC), and you’ll need a good set of speakers for either, noting that we used Logitech during our trials. You can go for cheaper screens and speakers, although if you are investing in the VR3 Rig – the price increase is nominal. Dont go cheap on the accessories and components otherwise you’ll spoil the effect – treat the VisionRacer Gaming Seat like a racing car – serious. It’s times like this where professional consultancy and installation has to be considered to get the most out of the system. At Gaming Seat we can provide home installation, supply and support if required. Surprisingly even after playing for long time we were not aching, its a comfortable chair. The VisionRacer chair combines the best blend of being comfortable whilst being realistic. Design design design – thats the recurring theme we find in the Vision Racer gaming seat. Overall, the car seat combined with gear shift control and force feed back gave this gaming seat the thumbs up by everyone who tested it. The VisionRacer is currently under testing in a 3 Screen PC configuration running the G25 steering wheel (which is PC and PS3 Compatible). The steering wheel compatibility is important because hardware on the PC can be upgraded more easily than that of PS3′s – although its your choice at the end of the day. If you have young children, you’ll need a couple of cushions to shift them forward, though in all honesty, this isn’t a game for young children at this expense, its a serious investment for the die hard gamers. In summary, the VR3 is best of breed as far as gaming seats go. The VisionRacer will do the Racing Game industry, what the Wii did to Console Games…its all good.
