How realistic are traffic simulations in games compared to what you had worked on?



I don't actually know what current games are like. I played some sim transport games back 15 to 20 years ago, and they were pretty bad. I don't play any games really, but I'd make time for a good traffic sim. I have played a few games, here and there, that included traffic but they weren't very good. Like Need For Speed and GTA? Those aren't very realistic.

I should probably try something current that runs on Linux. Got any suggestions?


Play/try out Grand Theft Auto IV (or V).

(The GTA4 is more realistic simulation.)


Thanks, I'll give it a shot. My friend's kid has a nice setup. I'm not much of a gamer. I'll buy the game for him and make him let me play it.

I'll try to add a comment the next time this subject comes up. He's got things like a seat and steering wheel/pedals set up.
