If Nissan tuned the steering feel on the G20 similar to the hydraulic rack on my old 350z, then I think I know what kind of steering feedback you're looking for. You want something that will kick back and shudder through the steering wheel over every tiny bump and rock you roll over.
The EPS unit on the Twins isn't going to give you that level of feedback. Actually I doubt you're going to find that on any new car short of a manual-rack 4c. The Twins have relatively good steering feedback, but it's still electric at the end of the day.
On the plus side, what you get with the Twins (vs. old hydraulic racks) is much more quick and direct steering with less slop on-center. That's probably why it feels more "playstation" to you, it's almost too direct/quick if you're used to older hydraulic racks.
If you're looking for something like your old G20, I think your best bet is to buy something used with a hydraulic rack.
