Project Details
- "San Francisco Rush" is a four-point, physically correct driving simulator descended from the award-winning "Hard Drivin'" simulation engine.
- This game uses a proprietary, real-time, 3D rendering engine to power a simulation of eight different high-end production sports cars. Each player chooses a car, a three-levels of difficulty race course, and a type of transmission. Players experience the road and simulation through a force feedback steering wheel that conveys road conditions and counter-forces for slides and skids.
- This simulation is a completely new experience for virtual driving entertainment.
