What "wheels" will they have, has M$ learned from their Xbox mistake (no
force feedback), etc.

Did you take a look at the movies?

They probably give a better idea of how the game will look and play.
No, they're not as nice as the obvious screen renders that are listed
as 'screen shots'.

I checked the videos, not sure how they were captured, but I doubt the
ingame experience will
be jerky like that, not if they want to sell any number of titles.

It appears that the videos show someone driving with a controller, not a
wheel.  That may explain the
jerkiness'.

I'm leaning towards those being actual in game screenshots though, not
renders.
Only due to the hardware involved here, very impressive hardware BTW.

Time will tell, but if PGR2 for the Xbox is any indication of how developers
can push the hardware, this
new console (and the PS3) may well continue the *** goodness.

The sound is great!  Might be the best I've heard in a driving game.  Yes,
it does look like a pretty early build of the game.  But, with all the
hardware capability of the 360, all that gorgeous rendering of the world
outside the car, we STILL can't have a***pit view in any of these types of
games?

Actually I have my fingers crossed that this time around, this game will
have
the most incredible, in car***pit view, of ANY game.
The videos I've seen hint at it. I just hope it's not a camara replay mode,
but in-game.

If so, then this one title, just might raise the bar a notch.
