Nissan and Microsoft Create Videogame Car

Posted by samzenpus on from the drive-and-play dept.

pnewhook writes "The Register reports that Microsoft and Nissan have created the first integrated gaming system within a vehicle. Not just in the vehicle, but the vehicle becomes part of the gaming system. From the article: "Conceived by Nissan Design America Inc. (NDA) and equipped with the Xbox 360 next-generation video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, 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," Nissan and Microsoft said in a statement."

    Before GTA was big, I thought it would be fun to make a game where you're robbing banks and running away with loot. You have the wheelman, and the other 3 people in the car have weapons. All the windows are screens you can shoot out of. But its like anything else... If you don't have a corporation behind you backing your idea, it never flies.

    I would rate you -1 Retarded if I could.

    Seriously, what the hell does this have to do with anything other than stroking your own personal ego?

    Huh? What the fuck are you talking about in your post? Your post makes almost no sense. The only acrynomn you are missing is WTF.

    There is no question to why your submission hasn't been accepted.
