People everywhere are playing online whether you're a pro or just a beginner, it doesn't really matter.

I thought up something today, Imagine an online tournament of say Gran Turismo, Thousands of people would enter but wouldn't you find it interesting to sit and watch the SIX best drivers in the WORLD from a specatator's point of view or the replay angles.


What do you think?

But really why would you want to watch someone else playing a computer game?

I think that as broadband takes off, a digital channel will open.

People who want to participate in competitions can phone in to get a place in a tournament.
They then get given a time to join the game and an ID password.

As the games are played, the games will be shown on the channel with live commentators.

The sever will be able to control a ghost camera to get a good view of the action on the TV, and viewers can choose digitally, which play to focus on, should they want to.

I think that it has potential, and could become as popular as sports, and it'll also give hardcore gamers the chance to become celebrities for doing what they like best.

watching someone else play is worse than watching paint dry

Lol.

Nah, I hate watching replays or watching someone else playing games. The only replays I think I have ever watched was the V-Rally2 ones and that was just to laugh at the crashes. Nope I would not want to watch people on GT3 even if they were better than me.
