Hey everyone, for those gamers out there, wouldn't it be awesome if the A/C came out in a video game!? I mean the forthcoming Gran Turismo HD for PS3 would be quite perfect! Probably not going to happen so soon...but the new Need for Speed coming out has the GT-R, then again, haha A/C and GT-R is at opposite ends of the spectrum! By the way can't wait to see that car next year....hopefully it will make it's way to Canada.

the altima sedan is in forza 2 for xbox360 which i think is pretty bad ***. whenever i race my friends i use the altima hehe grrr @ front wheel drive. on a side note, i played a demo of the new upcoming need for speed and the gt-r is sick haha. i dunno about the game though, pretty fun but no where near a simulation game as tight as forza and gran turismo are.

Your best bet now is a forza 2 DLC pack with the altima coupe, since the game is sponsored by Nissan and they released a pack with the 07 350z, the 07 sentra se-r and the 07 altima sedan not long ago. In GT5 there's a possibility It could be in it, but I wouldn't hold my breath since no altima was ever in the game. But for the NFS pro street It could definitely be there, since the altima has always had a big presence in the tunning world in America.

Nope, I own one and its still a FWD Altima, granted its awesome...maybe a tuner car thing, but I can't justify iton a PGR or GT game. Sports cars are RWD and can be AWD (our beloved GT-R) but FWD no not ever.

LOL so untrue, Grand Turismo has tons of FWD cars and Forza too, the Golf GTI is FWD and it's in the new NFS pro street, there's even some FWD civics. You ever played racing videogames or what?

Mcheddadi is right. It would be in the new NFS game (ProStreet) but the A/C's timing was just bad because the game is being released soon. Hopefully it will somehow make it into the game or be released in an update for the game.

yeah but these racing games have never included altimas as they are rarely considered a racing car. the only reason forza had it was because they had a partnership with nissan sucking their balls for advertisement.

Actually, it's in the first forza as well... Forza being a sim racing game included alot of cars, not just to race a fast exotic car, but to simulate many different driving/"race" situations... similar to something like the enduro race that the altima just crushed... also allowing you to tune each and every one of them to reflect a car you have, to a car you want, and see what it could be like in racing conditions... Yes it does help that Nissan was a big sponsor of the game, but so was BMW, Mazda, Ford, Ferarri and so on... It wouldnt suprise me to see the Altima coupe and the GT-R get added to FM2 in some sort of downloadable pack, but it also depends on the manufacturer and game developers/designers if they ultimatly do it.

The Altima is popular among tuners and the coupe will be even more so. The last few NFS games have been about the tuner scene and this one being called ProStreet I expect there to be an emphasis on the tuner scene. If they have FWD Hondas they definitely should have the Altima and A/C.

What your're comparing the games, you have to remember the major difference between the 2, NFS is an Arcade racing gamr, where as Forza and GT, and PGR are racing sims... kinda like comparing the Altima Coupe>>G35>350Z>GT-R, they're similar in one way, but then that's where the similarities end...

As for the games, (IMO) if you play them both, you play NFS for the fun of it, you play forza (or GT) for the expierence
