Kazunori Yamauchi Q&A
Gamespot posted an interview with Kazunori Yamauchi, the creator of the Gran Turismo series.
Here’s a slice:

GS: How far do you think Gran Turismo 2000 is pushing the hardware power? The game is arguably one of the best visually on the PS2.
Yamauchi: At this point I have not been able to exploit the capabilities of the hardware 100 percent. However, I am pretty confident that out of the all the games that are out right now for the PlayStation 2 this is probably the one that gets the most out of the hardware.
Full interview

Future controllers
C&VG kicked up an article about Sony’s future controllers.
Here’s a bit
Another great demo of this technology requires no props at all - just you, the PS2, and the webcam. On screen there is a landscape and the shadow of an eagle on the ground below. By flapping your arms by your side you become the eagle. Flapping makes you go faster. Holding your arms straight out – like wings – makes you glide. You turn by raising and lowering either side. Of course you feel entirely stupid doing this, but it’s a great experience.
