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. http://features.teamxbox.com/xbox/1145/The-Xbox-360-Dissected/p6/ 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 gaming 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 cockpit view in any of these types of games? <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

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.
