Heh.

It used to be that console driving games sought to draw ever closer to reality, but it's more and more the other way around.

We already have electric power steering, and Nissan are pushing towards drive-by-wire, where 'feedback' would be purely artificial, identical in concept to a Logitech wheel.

Ferrari have a 'drift mode' on the 458 that keeps the car held in a drift, akin to the controversial 'SRF' in GT.

When we started playing driving games, push-button gearchanges were an approximation to clutch and stick; now, paddle shifts are the norm in real cars.
