Another one of the perks of PC gaming, choice! All hail PC gaming.
Shaddup, you. :mad:
I'm pretty stoked for this game though, with or without the PhysX eyecandy.

if you want photo realism then just step outside
people who use this logic to dismiss photo realistic graphics completely miss the point. Sure, I can step outside. But can I blow up a car, fly a helicopter and shoot fireballs out of my hand if I step outside?

A lack of punctuation and capitalisation typically mean sarcasm on TTLG, Yakoob. Such was the case there.

Fair enough, my bad. But you gotta admit that this is a logic that has been used on TTLG many times before in all seriousness.

They talk about the gameplay mechanics for gunplay, driving, melee combat, etc. Also discussed is the focus on realism.

Like the way they said about doing handbrake turns,donuts and bagging the rears up in the streets :cool:
Thats the first thing i'm gonna do when the game is released
Saw in a different vid on youtube that in the body shops you can even have a engine mod done to the car namely a supercharger so thats even better for doing skids
