Good to know that I´m not the only one who isn´t impressed in the least. :p

Maybe I just can´t appreciatte it, but all I´m seeing is low geometry, ho hum textures and prebaked lightining. Is there something else going on?

Be prepared to be dissapointed with first gen games then.

Be prepared to be dissapointed with life, actually. :)

I already am, my friend. :p

I can´t believe some of you though. It´s not a crime to not be excited by this. I mean, it´s photographs + slightly increased poly counts + prebaked lightning. What´s so impressive about that really? :D

And come on people, IT´S A BUILDING. It´s not even a parisian building to at least make it pretty. ;)

You know how some kids muck around with fireworks 'just for fun' and then BOOM some kid's got no eyes left? We'll there's not much more explosive than a rogue KK comment in a console forum! ;)
 
very impressive becasue it has that pseudo-photorealistic quality to it. PGR is not my my bag though. I salivate at the thought of a GTA3 style game in this quality of enviroment. I don't understand how someone couldn't be impressed by this screenshot considering 10 years ago I would have mistaken it for a real photograph at a quick glance.

Because the same thing has been said about at least 1 3D racing game of each generation. I remember seeing promo shots of the arcade version of Ridge Racer, and I couldn't believe they were computer generated (of course they were really small pics taken of a monitor running the attract mode). And when MSR was being promoted, they put up comparison shots of the actual locales so you could see how close they came to replicating them, and people were saying then that it looked real. So people like me would rather point out how far from real it is than how close it is (because by the next generation, we'll again be seeing games that show just how wrong we were for thinking this gen's stuff looked "real").
 
Ok, I am still on the first page of this thread and there seem to be 5 pages now... not really wanting to read 4 more pages of FLAMES. Come now guys... sheehs.

Original Poster: Uh, where is a link? I don't see no cars in this so I am calling in some doubts.

So, is this fake? Totally looks like a "China Town" real life pick. Similar to the "Joke" so guy pulled before E3 where they showed a REAL care with motion blur and passed it off as PGR. I am filing this as a fake until I see more info.

As for the naysayers... come now. Low geometry? Not impressive? :oops: Are we looking at the same pic? The lighting and detail are really high, especiall for a side street. Thw windows, posters, brick design... why in the world would anyone waste that effort for something you see for 1/10th of a second while zooming by at 170MPH?


So where is the link this came from? I want verification. Also, why no cars? AWFUL suspicious. I am calling fake... reason? It looks like someone found a similar themed pic. Note the pic on the first page of PGR in the city. There is a brick building with similar windows. This looks like Someone found a pic with similar style and posted it as a "real" shot. Note the PGR pic from E3 has nice looking but BASIC buildings. Fairly flat. Not totally, but nothing like this. NO WAY. It looks like someone either got their hands on some source photography used for PGR textures OR someone stumbled across something very similar.

I call fraud. This would not be the first time PGR "media" was real life pics.

And now on to 5 more pages of flames :(

Wayyy to rich :LOL: Thanks jvd and the poster who gave the link to the Bizarre website w/ real photo ROTFLOL

I am SOOOOO glad I posted on the first page!

I mean seriously, not impressive? The point of a game engine is to use technology that meets the goals of its art direction. I don't care if this has prebaked lighting or uses hi rez photos of real stuff... This is the MOST REALISTIC gameshot I have ever seen. PERIOD.

Not most technical, not most fun, not even the "best"... but definately the most realistic. And that achieves the goal of the team. Those not impressed because because it is lacking some Wizzbang Technical Fad and jargon need to a swift reminder in the rear that technology not only does not make better games, it does not guarantee better looking games.

Design is ALWAYS about tradeoffs. Picking the right balance of technologies to meet your artistic goal is important. Just look at Gears of War and the Namco UE3 game. Night and day. Same technology, but the artists are better on one project and the technology seems more geared toward the former over the later.

So, for those not impressed, very specifically with the "goal product" in mind--why does this screenshot NOT achieve its goal? I am not asking for what wizbang trendy word technology it may be missing, I am asking from an end-product "What you see is what you get AND the most important thing for consumers" where this shot is falling short? What has impressed you SOOOoooo.... much that this shot just makes you say "Unimpressive"? I really must know!

I am laughing so hard at this thread. Even talyn99 liked it. (No offense talyn99, but even you emphatically stated you hhhhhaaate the Xbox) Those who were not impressed all just happen to be very pro Sony. Yeah, ok. This is as bad as people who were dumping on GT4 (who, amazingly, were all Xbox fans!)

This forum is worse than IGN, GAF, etc... at times. Namely because everyone tried to pretend they are objective.

Now I need to go find my hat and eat it... because I still am having a hard time believing that is "in game". I will be aweful ticked when we get the final game and it has been downsampled a ton. Yeah, I still have my doubts :?
 
I can say this much . If i'm zooming past backrounds like that while racing i will be extremely happy , no matter what type of lighting. That is a huge step of from last gen and when in motion with hdr it will be easy to mistake it for the real city if i was zooming past that going 100mph +

I like it...I just want to see different locales....but this is PGR...which was explained to me as a game that is primarily made up of city scapes as its tracks...but yea...can't deny how nice the pictures are...

I just want to see it in motion...I guess it doesn't have the same effect on me like it does other people...can't wait to see the vid!
 
Well, the first page already had a ton of people with torches sitting next to gas pumps. Without an actual LINK and the fact PGR "screenshots" HAVE been faked already, there was no way I was going to read 4 more pages of flames and bashing.

I was just posting because I was pretty convinced it was a REAL photo. And I was banging my head against a wall because of the comments about it not being very good...

And I was right... it was a real photo... only digitized into a virtual world better than anything I have seen in a PC/Console game. The last bit I was not expecting :LOL:

Anyhow I wanted to post my thoughts on the "real pic" bashing before I gave up reading 5 pages of flames. Usually if the first page does not have a link it is FAKE. Just like the yellow corvette with motion blur that was claimed to be PGR.

This would not have been the first PGR pic that was fake... ironically, it would not be the first one dissed on either!

Only at B3D do we get people who would call a real photo unimpressive :LOL: Reminds me of the ATI PR quote, "X360 will make games MORE THAN REALISTIC" hahaha

I have to put this thread in my favorites hahaha Sorry, this is just sooo funny :D

ITs a real shot from the game . What acert is saying is its a picture from the real world made into a normal map that is placed over the geometry model of the buildings .
