don't think they can... maybe they need licensing? Notice a lot of music vids are taken down from YouTube and all you see now there are just a bunch of vids of people singing to songs? Yuck.

Despite them being this way, I'm sure i'll enjoy the game. It just irks me when he says he was passed the baton. Come on, I think he'll be passed the baton when PD decides to no longer create a GT game. Til' then, that's just arrogant talk.

Yea that poll has F3 beating GT5. And w/ the thread + comments, it's clear people are being motivated into voting for F3.

according to the link above, the video is CG? I thought a lot of people in here were claiming it to be in-game and driven by Team BlackJ. =T

As much as I love Indigo Prophecy (farenheit) and of course I'm looking forward to Heavy Rain, I really hope they don't have those crap Simon-Says mini games in there. They're really annoying and just too much of em.

Same here. Playing racing games on the Wii was just so horrible. That WiiMote wasn't accurate at all and it's only good for casual racers. There just wasn't enough feedback for me to enjoy it. Watching the burnout vids using the Natal appears cool but it's reminding me of the horrible time I had "driving" with the Wii. Those guys in the vid were hitting walls often and I think an actual controller works better. Imagine trying to drift in Forza using Natal! I don't think so.

nice links Canadian guy. bubbles to you. Was wondering about the Tony Hawk ride game and indeed that game is something better off w/ an actual board than with a camera + body motion.

Only reason why you ever hit the ball in WiiSports tennis is because the game makes it so your avatar is guaranteed to hit. With precision tracking of all three dimensions, his virtual bat or whatever he uses needs to be at the right 3D coordinates at the right time so that the two virtual objects can collide and allow him to succesfully hit the ball. Just like in real life.

OMG Forza 3 is so unrealistic! That video proves it. The airbags didn't deploy when he crashed into the wall on purpose. Epic Fail!

"So, props to Kazunori Yamauchi-san and the PS1 team," said Greenwalt. "That said," he continued, "I feel that he's passed us the baton. Perhaps he hasn't meant to, but we have taken the genre to new levels and they've stopped evolving the genre. So again, tremendous respect to him, but I'd say the differentiator is they're old school." He conclued, "The emperor's naked, and I don't want to, you know, I don't want to slap him around, but no game competes [wi...

I think it's based on that by viewing the Milo demo, the initial reaction is that we'd assume it was all AI regardless if we were told if there was any. The way Milo interacted to Clare showed some form of intelligence even though it may have been an action-response script like in RPGs such as MassEffect. It's the way that Milo reacted, the smoothness and uncanny valley of it all that made many believe it to be AI. People are bashing it now though because some journalists said Milo is real...

I agree. The man has vision but it's too bad he doesn't have the manpower or resources to implement them to perfection.

I used the EyeToy on the PS2 @ ToysRuS waaaaay back. I was able to chop barrels w/ my hands and block banana attacks from monkeys. Let me just tell you... that works!

/sarcasm

We don't even know to what extent a "live demo" they showed to the press. They could've easily just shown the koi fish pond and have the press wave their hands at the camera like what Clare did. They could've showed Milo and have someone "pull strings" in the back with a...

Would be nice if FOR JUST ONE DAY users on n4g didn't have to bring up the obvious competitor's game into an article that's not even meant as flame bait.

Come on, these are FM3 pics. Don't/Shouldn't have to bring up the other racing game. I know FM3 will be day-1 purchase for me.

Now if only Bizarre can grant me my wish and bring us PGR5 ;-D

Oh come on, if you see news article from playstation.com praising the PS3 wouldn't you go accuse the site of bias? Anyway, I don't know if Microsoft owns Cnet, but I do believe CBS partially owns Cnet. If anyone knows that Microsoft and CBS has relations then there you have it. What I have come across however is that alot of times Cnet is particularly pro-MS and anti-Apple.

When I was still doing my undergrad courses, I had a class w/ this one professor that had spinal injury so the bottom half of his body couldn't feel. Anyway, he told us how he was very anxious in getting a new benz but after a week of driving it, he got his volvo back. The reason was because he couldn't feel how much pressure to apply to the gas/brakes so the drive felt very uncomfortable/awkward to him. With his old Volvo however, he told us the reason why that car felt natural to him was...
