Possible picture of Xenon PGR3 ??

The Ferrari fron pic and that latest yellow car pic look to my eye pretty indistinquishable from photographs, the last pic maybe less so because of the blank environment. But if they were shown to me in a car mag I would not think they are realtime pics from a game.
IF the games will look like that is another matter... we'll see.
I don't doubt xbox2 would not be able to render those pics realtime, but a game needs more... more cars, more environment, ai, physics.... so the iq will be less than those concept renders (if they are renders)

Why are they wasting their time with SM3 and HDRI techs if this is all it takes to keep people amused? :?Love_In_Rio said:http://ourcolony.net/images/logos/gamem8ker.jpg

I can't imagine that the first car picture is real time. We know the Xbox2 is a rasteriser and not a ray tracer, but those reflections could only imho be done with a ray tracer. If it was a rasterised reflection then there would be streaching and warping of the pixels as it reflection bends around the surface. However, there is not. The pixels in the reflection directly correspond to the pixel location in the final image, which is what a ray tracer would do. Therefore, it must be a pre-rendered image.

EDIT: Accidently thought the link quoted at the top of the page was the initial image, I didn't realize we were on page three.
I don't think the initial image is too far away from next gen as it does have jaggies on it so I wouldn't assume a render unless they started getting better at making renders look more like real-time producible graphics.mckmas8808

In another forum a person found out what the first pic is after being put into a hex editor

So a prerender it is then, and superiour to what will be seen in games. Case closed.

Or a retouched prerendered image, some of the blurring is likely done in Photoshop and some other adjustments (color levels etc...)

This generation alot of developers have taken to releasing "enhanced" screenshots showing gameplay situations with higher levels of resolution and anti-aliasing than what you see while playing (is that considered a render or a screenshot?). I was hoping that would stop next-generation! Guess not :/

mmmhmmm, like the realtime but highres, AA'ed Ace Combat 5 screens
It took me less then 10 seconds to realise that it was a pre-render, notice how at the bottom of the first picture that the grill is reflecting on the car, as far as I know that wouldn't be possible with current realtime cube map reflection methods and would only be the realm of raytracing.
