ah yeah, forgot to mention this:
I played Gran Turismo 4!
It was on showing at the Automobil Exebition in Geneva, Switzerland - which I attended last Tuesday. I was able to play GT4 at BMWs stand, where they had GT4 setups to demonstrate the "BMW Concept M5 Simulation".
I even recoreded some gameplay footage while taking a few runs doing the italian course:
GT4 Movie, 7.38 MB, AVI, aprox. 30 secondsOff hand, I can say that the title looks very impressive, despite the noticable shimmering - though these are usually quite evident on the Sony displays more so, then what I\'ll be expecting to see when running it on my own displays at home. The gameplay has improved noticably - it is far more realistic and at that, harder. The new steeringwheel with 900° is awesome, though makes it very hard and challenging at the same time. Definately will take time getting used to.
Enjoy the video.
