I was disappointed when I saw that there are few roads in the game (my expectations were far too high). I was hoping for, idk, 70% of roads? Really, some sort of driving game using google maps data would be pretty awesome, if a nightmare to process all the images. Hmm, data storage would be an issue too... streaming would be too slow (I think).

Seriously, I've been dreaming about world-scale videogame (world generates as you explore based on every useful satellite data we have) where you can just drive around.

Flight simulator comes close, but it's flying.

And I believe it pulls the information real time from Microsoft servers

It does, but mostly because we're talking about an enormous amount of data. The number being advertised is 2 Petabyte...

I wouldn't be to sure if Microsoft is working on something like this. What they did with Flight Simulator was pretty spectacular...
