Xbox 360 Powers Nissan Concept Car (http://www.avault.com/news/displaynews.asp?story=12282005-123142)
I can see all the fender benders that could be caused by the average person (i.e. stupid) "forgetting" which mode their car was in... :rolleyes:
-
the Nissan URGE concept car allows drivers (while parked) to play "Project Gotham Racing® 3" using the car's own steering wheel, gas pedal and brake pedal while viewing the game on a flip-down seven-inch LCD screen.
— blurring fantasy and reality in a way that the automotive world has never before seen.
My God...
-
That's gotta be a hoax.
-
If not, it's a bold move... when you consider how many ignorant people are complaining about children not knowing the difference between their fantasty gaming worlds and the real world.
-
I don't see how anyone could see this as a good thing.
It's like going combining water pistols and shotguns.
Sure, it might be fun for the kids, but not if they press the wrong button.

Thank god its a concept car.
I can't imagine playing PGR3 on such a tiny screen. :p
-
at least they say it has to be 'parked' to use it. kind of like how you have to be parked to view a DVD on an escalade's screen
-
I honestly can't think of anything more pointless. Except maybe alcohol free beer.

Uh-huh. Now think about the track record the manufacturer of the computer system in question has in regards to reliability.

Brings a whole new meaning to BSODs. :shaking:
-
"Nissan has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down" :ick:
Kinda scary to even think about it.
-
I've changed my mind.
They should include a mode where you can control both the real and computer cars at the same time. Now THAT would be a ****ing fun game.
It'd aid natural selection too. Not by killing the stupid, but by helping people with good reflexes impress chicks and have more kids.
-
With real-time 3D representation of the city around you in-game, using radar topographical mapping and stuff. Yeah. That'd work.
-
Just hope there's no lag...
In a serious way, Sandwich's idea is interesting, though I still prefer my own eyes.
-
Could be dangerous if you forget that the Ferrari Enzo you were driving in game is infact a Nissan in real life...
-

No, with just the regular game.
The skill would be in navigating the virtual course with enough accuracy to complete it, but deviating enough to keep your real car from crashing.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Porn games or videos while you drive, one hand on the steering wheel and the other... well.
Just me?
-
Yes, just you.

Wow. Just... wow..

It gives a whole new meaning to the question "Can you drive stick?"

Wow... Just Wow... It's one thing to post something that was already posted. It's another thing if it was posted recently in a different thread. However, this takes the cake. You posted the same thing that was posted on another thread only days ago, and you were the one who posted it. You would have won two internets, but now you don't get them.

Scuddie you need to chill out dude.
Anywho it's just darned efficent to make two points with one link. ;)

Not when it's so damn irritating. Then it's a really, really efficent way of being annoying.

Congratulations, ngtm1r! You win both of Maeglamor's internets!

playing a game console on a tiny 6-8" screen hasta be one of the most silly ideas i've ever heard, sure you'd might be able to get away with something on the level of sprite RPG's, etc with 2-d graphics, but something along the likes of most modern FPS's and Combat based games, you'd be pasted before you even saw that minute speck with an even smaller weapon. :lol:

Having a XBOX 360 in your car would be the coolest!!! I mean you could totally live in your car for like the rest of you life! LOL
Then I'd install a refrigerator and make the seat into a toilet and I'd be all set!!! ;)

although driving the car legally, and playing PGR3 at the same time, would be rather unadvisable. ;)

This brings to mind that old chain email joke about the comparison between the computer and auto industries.
