After Kylotonn Games was able to win a surprisingly high amount of sim racers and gamers over with WRC 7, development does not stop. Version 1.2 of WRC 7 adds important force feedback improvements to the game.
FFB? Anything else?
Apart from enhancements in terms of force feedback, more settings for FFB calibration have been added, peripheral detection has been improved and options to toggle dynamic field of view and motion blur also made it into the patch. Especially the latter is a nice addition.
The patch was released on PlayStation 4 today. PC users have already been enjoying it over the weekend.
There has been no word on a release for Xbox One. However, just a couple of days ago, the Xbox One had received another patch together with the PS4.
