    I'm probably not the only one who is thinking that you are smoking crack and/or forgetting what console games today actually look like.

    If you think super-shiny paint jobs are unrealistic, you should move to someplace where people wash their cars.

    The polycount on that photo's pretty low, and the cube-mapped sky is unrealistic. Texture on the driveway looks terribly flat too. All in all real-life is pretty unimpressive...

    i believe if you watch the presentation vid (not just the trailer) they are only really showing off gotham tv.

    perhaps they don't want to show the actual in game shots until it's nearer completion.

    that and of course the fact that usually all the pretty camera angles look more dramatic and impressive than an in game shot. I doubt we'll see a proper in game shot until TGS at the earliest (starts sept 16th ish iirc)

    there's about 5 seconds in there on the bumper cam, that looked in-game to me, and fast as hell too.

    Funniest post so far today. Yeah some people will never be happy. No gamer should look at the PGR3 video and not be impressed.

    I expected a killer lighting system and other than that, I thought the video was okay.

    And it's usually the bad lighting that makes the super-shiny cars look unrealistic when it's reflected off of them.

    I was going to post a picture of a light blue Nissan Altima because it had even better reflections, but the site prevents hotlinking.

    That was the pic I was originally going to use.

    Yep, that's why I used the Camaro.

    Today was a bad day at the store for the ps2 . I brought in the pgr 3 video and encoded it in 480p (out xbox tv will run it ) and we had it running with preorder for the xbox 360 today right next to the new burnout game for the ps2... While the ps2 game looked great putting the pgr 3 video next to it and it was no comparison
