I'm still wanting a realistic 'real-life' autosim. Being able to drive around in town and on motorways with other traffic.

I know this isn't possible for a single developper, but it has always been my dream :cry:

:lol:

This would be a dream game for me too - we're quite sad arent we? :)

Yes, we are, and I don't care :thumbsup:
 
Have you tried Mafia? That's got a fairly large city with country areas as well, along with realistically slow cars (it was set in the 30s).

that would be the ultimate game as well... why don't develops understand... or is it too hard to make it. The closest so far is Midtown Madness2 :D

I haven't played it in a while and you are right. It is pretty good with that. :)
 
If I am not mistaken Mercedes Benz World Racing was based on the "free exploring" concept. Rather than tube like tracks it had large connected areas.
 
Yeah, I think it was the first racing game with a landscape engine instead of a tube engine... But it doesn't feature traffic...
I still play it alot since there are sooooo much addon cars (not as much as NFS, though...). People are still converting stuff every day...
Mafia was great, too... They are currently working on a new one...

omg, that would totally suck.

porn pics should stay where they are (on then et) and out of my computer games.

I guess you've never played BMX XXX, Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude or Playboy: The Mansion. :? It is practically a unquestionable rule in the world of videogames that if the game includes naked chicks, it will suck. And suck, really really bad.

I enjoy 18 Wheels Of Steel: Pedal To The Metal for this, but it's just not real enough :)

And it only features lorries ;)
 
thanks for the input so far, i'll see what can and can't be done realistically. :)
head bobbing around and turning for corners is a certain fact, but the others involve alot more code than just that. :?
