I've said it before, and I'll say it again........Oh dear.

Quote from BlueFlame :

The engine still has more horsepower, regardless of torque and regardless of what vehicle it's in, as that does not change the horsepower. Torque is what matters, yes, but what he's talking about is a petrol engine, it should easily get 100bhp per litre. Any engine that doesn't will be bad on fuel consumption.

Oh dear

I take it you don't have a grasp on hp vs torque then.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Exactly, especially when you can get more bhp from a 900cc bike.

Stick the powerfull 900cc bike engine in a mid sized hatchback and see what happens , you'll then understand why a bike engine can be 900cc and have lots of horsepower, and an engine that has to push a heck of a lot more weight can't.

Quote from jibber :

Are there still going to be other planets to explore? And if yes, will they be more detailed than in the first one? This was my only real concern about ME... all planets looked the same (as well as the inside of the buildings/facilities on these planets).

Yes and yes, however..........

There are less planets to explore than ME1, no driving and there is a "scan planet for minerals" mini-game that is supposed to be a bit of a PITA.

I guess the naysayers got their wish, no driving in the release version of ME2, apprently there will be a vehicle in future DLC though.

Too many games, not enough time.

Quote from Forbin :

The first one was very overrated, IMO. The vehicle sections were dreadful, and they were at least a quarter of the game.

Of course, this is also coming from a PC gaming purist who has been playing FPS games for 10+ years, and one who thinks the over-the-shoulder cam is silly.

Wow, how wrong!!!!.

The first one was an AMAZING game, probably one of the best games I've ever played, and I've played ALOT of games.

ME was never billed as an FPS, its an action RPG, and as such, I think the 3rd person perspective fits quite well.

As for the driving sections, I personally didn't think they were too bad, alot of people said the vehicle felt too "floaty", HELLO, we're in space!!!!

As for ME2, can't wait, had it on pre-order for a dogs age.

The Panamera actually makes a very good A class car.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

That sounds prommising, when id*ots like that find it bad and too dificult..

Remember, difficult DOES NOT equal realism.

Quote from gezmoor :

There are a few quite gruesome scenes in it though. Not so much in a gore sense like of SAW etc more to do with human depravity.

Most of the really gruesome scenes from the book (the infamous "infant on a spit" one springs to mind) were removed from the film.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Normal GPS is accurate to about 30ft. Military GPS is accurate to about 15ft I think.

Source?

Quote from CoolColJ :

Maybe your garden varierty GPS, but from what I see the GPS used here seems to be cm precision

Unless they are using military grade GPS, its just the same civilian GPS we all use.

I really don't think GPS is accurate enough to have much of a bearing on advancements to a physics engine.

Quote from BenjiMC :

Blindness... All i can say is wow. Watch that movie!

Agreed, brilliant film.

Nice

Blimey, you are steaming ahead!!!!.

I'll check out 2-1, 1-2 is pretty tough.

T10 wrote some stuff about steering aid in an interview with AutoSimSport, called "Mythbusta", might be worth a read and see if any of it is relavent?

Every unaccompanied test drive i've done, i've just been given a "trade plate" to stick on the dashboard, this means you are covered under the traders policy.

Anyone up for some xbox360 co-op to try and kill the buggering sodbag that is Mothrakk?

Good one matey!!!!, I am on the second "level" now (1-2) and I am taking it SSSLLLOOOWWW because now, if I die, the enemies get tougher, and I don't really want that!!!!

Use the play and charge lead

Ahhhh, synthesized speech, never before has making a computer say "PENIS" been so much fun.

That'll be Spindizzy then, knew it had Dizzy in the title!!!

Dizzy was that spinny top thingy?, a bit like marble madness?

Howabout a remake of Driller, or Starglider?

Quote from Glenn67 :

I've driven for 36 hours with one break of two hours in real life

I did 18 hours straight, only stopping for fuel, the other year in Australia, not pleasent.

Quite why anyone would want to do anything like that, for fun, is beyond me!!!
