Not to the extent in which it will be implemented, from what I understand. Not that I have seen anyway. It will get no "clicks" from me.

I always though better physics engines and CPU's/Gcards make games more realistic. I agree with Spiffy, NFSU2 is loaded to the rim with plugs. Your cell phone in the game is singular... Whats next? Half-Life 3 with Motorola razr's? SheepStar
