Holy ****. The next gen of consoles looks to have graphics abilities
that come very close to photorealism. Let's just hope the physics are
there too but I'm not holding my breath.

And why oh WHY can't any makers of console driving games include a real
in car view, complete with wheel, dashboard, instruments, etc? Someone
please tell me....

Well, unlike most racing games on PC, like GTR or any of the Nascar or F1
sims, which only have a handful of cars, most console racers like Gran
Turismo, Forza and Enthusia have hundreds of cars, making it very, very time
consuming to model each and every car's interior. I also think that most
(not all) console players don't mind not having a proper in-car view, making
it even more difficult for console developers to justify including them.

Yeah but if you take GT4.. the insides are modeled anyway...? so why not ad
a standard dash etc etc...?

That is amazing. Another year or so for PC sims, and that's about it I
think.

We may be closer than ever before but I cant help laugh at the number of
times Ive heard that PC gaming is dead the last 15 years. Mark Twain comes
to mind

They are quite something, but I've heard that some of the E3 demos were
pre-rendered. Not sure about this one, though.

No ****, even just a generic behind the wheel display layout would suffice
me, that is personally...

1.5ish hours of Playstation3 presentation. Thankfully you can skip forward
through the stream. Lot of very impressive stuff though.

Who knows, with the stagnation of PC CPU speed it may well be that
game-specific hardware is the only real way forward.
