No. My PC ain't up to running it. And I don't feel like building a computer till this one is truly outdated. (1.3ghz, 160gb total storage, cd-r, 256mb ram, 128mb PCI video card)

To computer nerds it is. I use my computer mainly for internet, music, videos, and homework. It works great for all of it. Especially considering I came from a 200mhz system back in the day (got this computer new, so whenever 1.3ghz were close to top of the line in in-store machines). When I say out dated, I mean can't perform normal functions worth a crap, just as that old 200mhz couldn't do anything good and crashed a lot. I also play gta3, vice city, and nfsu occasionally on here with zero problems. Sure I can't play half-life 2, but I wouldn't play it for more than 10 minutes anyways.eastleyMate that is a ancient PC. Way out dated. Even my PC is out dated and its alot better than your PC.

If you're doing anything that would make my pc die, then you're a computer nerd. Sorry, it's true. Heck, I guess I could probably copy paste so many pages that it couldn't handle it. That'd be pretty nerdy to spend the time doing that though.eastleyI'm no computer nerd...
With your PC I wouldn't even have to play a game and it'll die with stuff I do with mine. Just using Microsoft Office I can make your PC DIE!!!
TruenoEightSixMy only arguement is control. Sure, you could attach it to a Logitech Formula Force Pro box and sell it as a $150 package deal, but that's not a great idea. You could get people to keyboard it, but, have you ever tried playing a racing sim or even an arcade-ish game like NFS: Underground with a keyboard? It's a real challenge, especially for response and that awkward cramped feeling of playing a game using pure keyboard controls (I've played maybe nine games out of one hundred that pulled that off right, and four of them have DOOM somewher ein the title).
To make a long story short, I'd love it if it did, but the only people that would buy it would be pretty hardcore into the idea of hainvg to spend or have already spent another $100 on a racing wheel for their PC.
sUnMost people would end up downloading the game
helsethCosts: PS2+GT4+Memcard+DFP = £300
Decent PC: £800 +
And the fact that developing for PC is very much hit and miss. Incompatibilities, driver error, updates, lockups, BSOD. How often do you by a PC game, install it and everything works from day one? The list of people needing help with PC games from newsgroups say it all.
I use my PS2 for gaming and my PC for work.
I've got an 3 GHZ Athlon with 1 GB mem, 320 GB diskspace and still can't run todays PC games at an decent speed. The fact that you need min 256MB ram to run your basic Windows XP, kind of put me off the "PC as a games machine" bandwagon...
PS2 is only 300 MHz and have almost no ram at all, but handles games like GT4 surprisingly well.
I would have liked to see that on my PC...
PS. PC and Direct X still can't do a smooth horizontal scroll like the good old AMIGA did... Anyone remember those Shadow of the beast games with 7 layer paralax scrolling? That was smoooooth!![]()

Super Jamiewith a post like that, yes, you are a nerd
Exactly. Think of the expansion packs...jv38IMHO. The biggest thing for a Gran Turismo PC Platform game would be Add On Cars and Tracks.

ThirdeyeI'd love to see it on PCThen I could have a place to actually put my wheel...
eastleyHave you ever played with a very complex Database in Access? It can kill a system no worries at all. Evil Program.
Super Jamieyes i have, and no doubt. and i'm not saying i'm not a nerd either. i'm just saying that running around saying "my micro$oft office will pwn j00r computar lolol!!!11" is something a nerd would donow, if you'll excuse me i have to get back to finding a decent linux solution to replace exchange 2000 in a small office environment

KremithefrogAren't their DS2-ish controllers for PC?
sukerkinAhh, I remember my AMIGA days with fondness.
eastleyXimian Desktop Professional Edition for Linux, a complete desktop environment and suite of productivity applications including Sun® StarOffice 6.0 and Ximian Evolution
I heard that there is some sort of program in that that is very similar, but thats what I only heard. Could be totally wrong.
EDIT: I think that was totally wrong but anyhow I found a article that might help.
