Re: Motor City Online is BACK, for reals

A first-person sim/semi-arcade with some decently-modeled physics, fun and varied tracks like NFS1 had (Lost Vegas!!!), the 'real car' feel of NFS5, and the cutting-edge sound and graphics of farcry2 or crysis, would actually make me buy a PC steering wheel which I haven't owned since giving away my veteran-of-many-a-GPL-&-NFS5-race Thrustmaster T2 lo these many years ago. God I hope they don't screw this up. The NFS name has so much promise, and has been dragged through the mud so many times. rms

We'll see. It's being done by former Black Box.
