Well actually, they will simulate all the deliberating amongst all the
players, and since this is such a massively inefficient and drawn out
process, it will actually require massive cpu grunt. So realistic that
sometimes you don't even get to race! :) Or if you do, the crowd, along with
flying bottles, will be very realistically simulated - boooooooooooo, stamp
stamp, stamp. Yes siree, turn those subwoofers on to experience the full
rage of the spectators as they try to stamp the grandstands into the ground!
See what it's like to jump into Ruben's car after Michael exits the pits for
the last time and give him the rear ending he deserved! (not that there's
anything wrong with that - Seinfeld).
Can't wait! :)
