Rooster Teeth is famous for their Red vs. Blue series and various other Machinima shows. The boys are now dabbling with real life stuff in their new show called "Immersion." Basically, it's Myth Busters but with a videogame spin to it.

In the debut episode, Rooster Teeth experiments with real third person driving. We do it all the time in videogames such as the Grand Theft Auto series, but will it work in real life? Before watching Gus and Geoff drive, I assumed it would be pretty easy. Turns out it's actually kind of hard.

Love the new series, Rooster Teeth! Looking forward to more episodes.

[Thanks, Darksage!]

I wouldn't imagine that to be as difficult as they made it seem, but I guess I won't ever know unless I try it out. I'd love to sometime, certainly.

The experiment could be made better with faster cables. The main problem with driving under these conditions is the delay between input and what is shown on the display.

What I'd like to know is why the hell did they need Yakuza to beat the crap out of Geoff and Gus ? Not that I'm complaining or anything :P

Because it's a truck.

Also, loved the idea, can't wait to see what other experiments they come up with.. I'm just kicking myself for not thinking of doing this.

It probably didn't help that the camera wasn't suspended high enough to see directly in front of the truck, so they had a blind spot of a good fifteen or so feet..

LAG! OMFG LAG HAX!

Yeah... Gus brought up a good point with the whole not knowing if the steering wheel is crooked or whatever issue.

It'd probably be a lot easier if they didn't have such a shitty 3rd person driving camera. It needs to have a bit more height and some motion side to side as you turn. Obviously that'd have been hard to setup but the games that have camera routines that give you that locked down, too low view are also pretty hard to drive in.

1. should be higher and not fisheye, fisheye is super disorienting on shitty monitor
2. shitty monitor, i either play 10 ft away on a 42 inch, in 1080p or 10 inches away from my 24 inch monitor at 1080p, not that shitty one he has
3. real pedals and steering wheel should be replaced by dualshock 3 with force feedback everytime he hits someone, lol
3. drivers shouldnt be retarded
4. the purpose of driving while gaming is that you dont give a shit when you ram into people, cars, street poles ,etc.. in fact theyre usualy encouraged, at least by me, lol

I'm not entirely convinced that these guys have ever driven a car before.
