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 know I'll be modded off topic for this, but I submitted this story twice and the submission bitches at slashdot didn't think it was interesting enough to include, so screw 'em.

    As posted on the Usenet newsgroup news.admin.net-abuse.email, after over two years of legal threats from an alleged spammer, "FreeSpeech Store", Richard Scoville of San Antonio, TX has filed a lawsuit in the Texas court system against the Abusive Hosts Blocking List, a community involved RBL. The suit seeks in total 3.525 million dollars in damage, and a TRO is in effect. While frivilous lawsuits against RBL maintainers are not a new concept, they seem to be more prevalent lately, especially considering the legal costs required to defend lawsuits from out of state. Amazingly, FSS has asserted that any donars who pledge funds to defray legal expenses will be considered "co-conspirators" in his lawsuit.

      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.
