How affordable are the cars you see in the gaming world?
When you see the graphics of the new Grand Turismo you can't argue with how realistic they look. When playing these types of games i could really go for one of the top of the range cars that I am racing with. When playing a game like this you always want the car that you play with the most, is that really a possibilty?
With car contract hire they can most certainly become available with as little as £214 a month. When pl;aying some of the new games out there like Grand Turismo it is easy, even for me, to see why people spend so much money on cars when they look this great, and with car leasing you really dont have to spend much at all on a fantastic looking car. The graphics of these kind of games are usually the best out there but do they really beat the old games with much better playabillty. In ten years the games industry has been growing and with this growth comes the new graphics technology that you see when playing games such as this. it's hard to believe how far the graphics have come, when playing F1 nine years ago I thought back then that they were never going to beat it.
It is truly amazing to see how far the power of the graphics have come after loading up the new Grand Turismo. Of course it is arguable that you can’t steer away from the playability of the N64 as it is a truly amazing console, purely because it was the main one I played constantly when I was a schoolboy. However it was not until I started to play the games that actually showed the cars for how they look in reality that I realised I might actually consider buying one of these cars.
Are these brilliant graphics put into the game for playabilty or just so you can really see how good these cars are? To a certain extent, yes! Using the game you cna pick from hundereds of models of cars as well as the colour that suites your need. In these types of games the graphics are so good you could really choose your next car as well it's colour without having to leave the house. Fantastic!
As well as this, with hires like Audi contract hire for ridiculously small amounts of money a month, the cars you see in games can truly become your own.
Technology in the car industry
How far has car industry technology come in recent years? From being a luxury way back in the 1930’s to the cheap affordable way you can buy them now using car contract hire it is amazing just how far they have come.
The knowledge of the games industry is the best way I can talk about the change in technology. With this I am going way back to the days of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. I could cover the first ever racing game but seeing as I was only really around from the realease of the SNES it is best that I only cover the time after this. One of the first driving games I ever played was F1 pole position which was released way back in 1993, which, for it's time was brilliant.
In the short space of four years see's the release of F1 pole position 64 on the Nintendo 64. The jump between the two games is simply astonishing. The cars have gone from being 2-D to 3-D which for it’s time was a giant leap in technology. The next jump skips the next generation of consoles and forms itself onto the PS3 and Xbox 360 as some of the graphics on the driving games on these consoles are so realstic it is truly unreal.V.
Of course the transition did not just happen to the gaming industry, there have been many advancements in the technology of the car over the same period of time. The biggest and best in my opinion isn’t the amazing new Ferrari’s you see being released it is in fact the Hybrid car. They save on a lot of energy which is going to be useful when all the oil runs out in the not too distant future and in all honesty some of them look pretty awesome. The newer models of the Hyrbid enable you to put more charge into the battery when you brake the car.
Of course not to be forgotten is the brilliant to shut the kids up, T.V in the car as well as heated seats to calm the Mrs down during a heated 'you've got us lost' argument.
The Hyrbid car is only going to increase in sales (after the recession that is) and will certainly be the car of the future, but for nowl, you need a car that is both decent and afforable. Leased cars can work out a lot cheaper? The Audi contract hire looks pretty good as well as being as little as £214 a month.
