Anyone still playing Rallisport? I popped it in last night expecting to be a bit underwhelmed due to all the recent great looking games, but it's still right up at the top of the pack even after all this time. The environments are practically photorealistic on a HDTV. I just wanted to throw a shout out to this game, because it doesn't get nearly enough respect.
On a side note, maybe Microsoft has the wrong strategy in mind when it comes to third parties. Instead of throwing cash at developers, why not give them some programming assistance? Think about how much better Ghost Recon and Morrowind would be if they used Rallisport's engine to render the outdoor environments. Bump mapping, rock solid 60FPS, ridiculous draw distance, incredible vegitation...
