I just added a old school GTA style camera into the game :-)
I should have added this into the game a long time ago, as it was originally planned to have this persepctive the whole time.
I'm planning on adding a lot more variety into the city, as well as doing another pass on the visuals (adding real time reflections, things like that).
I want to add things like HDR lighting and all sorts of slick stuff but my computer has a Radeon 9250 in it :-( I should probably go out and get a better card...but I figured it would be good to develop on a low end setup. I'm going to wait to upgrade until I'm done developing this game.

I think this highly depends on when you intend on releasing the game? Even if you get a better card, you could add features that appeal to the new card, and those fortunate enough to own a high powered card can take advantage of the extra things.
You can always make some switches that drop the graphics down.
What you dont want is to develop this game so low end that when you release it 6+ months from now, the technology is -WAY- low end. You know how the tech world works.
