 | This is basically a quick and dirty info, nothing in detail as it's 0317 in LA and I've to get up in 4 hours for day 2.
Sony's GT5 is looking bad ass. I never really got into the whole Gran Turismo thing but this one has NASCAR!! You got me sold, lol!
Codemaster's F1 2010 is another racing simulator and will be on multiple platforms. I actually had some track time with the Xbox 360 version and I'm pretty impressed and so were my coworkers, who thought I was just a flight sim nerd.
So the big question for E3 2010, that many hard core flight simulators guys were dying to know, "Is Thrustmaster there with their HOTAS Warthog?" I can finally answer that question, No TM didn't have a booth at E3.
Sorry guys they went with a private invite only. The preview was at the California Air and Space Museum and was showcased with the most anticipated flight simulator of 2010, DCS-A10C Warthog.
Yes that is right, both TM and DCS was there giving me a preview of their products. I was more interested in the DCS-A10C Warthog as I'm already a very impressed and proud owner of the TM HOTAS Warthog.
The DCS title is going to be bad ass, the detail in the engine start sequence is just amazing. Also there is interactive training missions, something that is a miss in Blackshark. These training missions will instruct you to carry out an event, which can be clicking a switch or turning the jet around. After completing the event, the instructions will continue for the next training event.
The training missions will also be held in my backyard, flown right out of Nevada utilizing the Nevada Terrain.
Great first day at E3, tomorrow (today) is going to be even better as Saitek is on the list of booths to visit. I hope they remember me from CES.
