Car game comparisons *hit & run*

Lots of pop-in in battlefront, but I prefer it to the consistency of the cardboard trees in racing games. I'm kind of curious how Battlefront/Battlefield compare to racing games ... racing games probably have much larger overall play area, but restricted to a predictable track route. You can also travel faster in racing games, though those speeder bikes move at a good clip.
will be interesting to see how NFS payback turns out as it uses frostbite too.
BTW in this BF stage you can find some ugly things if you look a bit around...

yea, likely a lot less happening overall on speeders etc.
Lots of things happening on the car models themselves, physics etc. But the speeders on BF look great. They invested a lot of their horsepower on the environments there (compared to the racers, where a lot of horsepower is on the cars). It's also 720p and 900p respectively, whereas these racing games are still holding 1080p
Watching this again, LucasArts did such a great job with capturing the imagination here. The sounds of the way the speeders hoot through the trees is something unexpectedly awesome.
True. Maybe racers shouldn't be 1080p on x1/ps4.
Since it's mostly landscape, vertical res is still important. I'd at least wonder about reconstruction methods along with 2xMSAA with anamorphic aspect ratio if they were going to go the route of lowering shaded pixel count.
Being 60fps would be that much better for temporal reconstruction as well.
.But that was also below 1080p on consoles. Still, the visuals are top notch
Begun, the cherry picking has.
Makes me wonder if those are the same assets on X or PC for that matterI don't know if it's cherry picking, but i found these pics on Gaf :
Clearly, it's one of the weakness of F7
Usually, they don't change those kind of things... The X version will likely only get better textures, AF, shadows and LOD. Same thing for the PC version.
Trackmania Turbo has worse lighting than both games on console.
And it doesn't look better than this in my opinion :

You guys are throwing "gi" around with no idea how these games avhieve it. Every one of those games aproximates Global Illumination in some way. Be it through lightmaps, evironment probes, SSAO, screenspace reflections, irradiance volumes or whatever. All those games use some combination of these techniches in varrying degrees of precision. "this game has gi" "this one don't" is just meaningless.
Very realistic. Looks perfectly like a Mario Kart game !
