Maybe if your writing skills weren't botched I'd have an honest chance.

What bump map? You've already said that the paved road wasn't bump mapped.
This is a gloss map. Notice how the road surface doesn't look bumpy. It's flat and ares of the track are masked out with the gloss map.
That's basically a load of BS. even if they just turned the specularity down on the paved road surface it would still give the appearence of bumps.
Please note that you were talking specifically about the paved road.
There are severe continuity issues in your posts. I can't be bothered making sense of something where I have to make guesses to get a meaning out of it.

Why did you specifically mention the paved road in both your examples then? Either you're backpeddling or you're one confused individual.
> You're clearly wrong (as usual).
Nonsense. There are ppl who have the game that agree with me. It's not that clear cut.

I admit, that the possibility exists. As I've pointed out several times I'm basing my opinion on screenshots.
> The fact you won't listen to the people that have the game
I do. It just so happens, that the ones who have been able to formulate proper arguments are also the ones that agree with me.

People = you and Johnny (not so) Awesome. What an overwhelming opposition!

Why? How? If you can't concretize your complaints I can't take them seriously.
> you're arguing about an effect in a game you haven't actually seen.
Which I have made sure to mention several times. That said I have seen screenshots and noone has been able to offer compelling counter-arguments to my claims.

What about the ppl that have the game and are of a similar opinion?
> since you're 9 times out of 10 NOT correct
Impressive! May I gander a peek at the research that this statistic is based on?
