"> > Are you guys referring to the F40 sim in this video? Twice I saw a

You're right - I looked again, just the rearview mirror only.

I totaly agree. We can't tell much from that video, other than what
appears like a nice car model (but it damn well better be, as the only
dynamic object in the whole scene!).

The outside shots look great, but the inside shots don't look that
spectaculair.. I get a bad Need for Speed 4 feeling when I see this..
and where's the dashboard?

Ok, so it really looks like an F50. Sheesh! -We're discussing graphic
realism here, not doing some "Ferrari spotting".

There's no saying what it's like "to drive" from a video like that. I have a
bad feeling about this one too (in the unlikely event it gets converted to
the PC), but, as I got fried for calling certain products arcade based on
pre-release material in here, I kept my mouth shut about those aspects and
limited myself to what I could see and hear.

Years ago, when I got silly-good at the Screamer2 demo,
switching to the***pit view instead of bumpercam /cost/
me about 4 seconds over the ?2 minute run...

Haven't checked out the videos (old player, I guess). Maybe it is graphically
amazing. But hate to burst your bubble. Looks like it has the same "kudos"
system as the DC's "Metropolis Street Racer". As someone else mentioned the
parallel: Gotham = Metropolis? So, I assume it is as arcadey as that title,
which is gathering dust on my shelf. Might appeal for an occasional play, and
maybe to look at. But if it is indeed like that title, it will not interest
any of you interested in even a modicum of realism.

No, there was one with a windscreen surround and everything!

I'll take your word for it. I don't trust my memory anymore.
