HIPerSpace monitor wall makes a great Grand Theft Auto IV canvas

Rolling around jacking up innocents and tossing Molotov cocktails is pretty enthralling on your vanilla 46-inch HDTV, but can you even imagine the rush of swiping a hot dog, burning out in someone else's whip and then snagging a new pair of kicks on this? Researchers (and gamers, obviously) down at UC San Diego have re-engineered their middleware to enable such masterpieces as this to be played on the big monolithic HIPerSpace screen, and needless to say, we can't imagine much real work getting done with this new functionality coming to light. Head on down to the gallery to see what you're missing -- science, research and 4.0 GPAs are such beautiful things.

it's not that cool when all the screens are calibrated differently.

Those black bars between the picture flat out SUCK! It makes it look like you're watching someone play the game through their god dang bay window. Epic Fail... seriously. I just don't get how people get excited over large displays like this.

Now show me GTAIV on that new 1,300in HDTV at the Washington Nationals Stadium...
