Some slick Gotham TV (videos)

This thread shows us why a lot of the mainstream press are saying Xbox 360 hardly shows much improvement from the current gen.

When you have screen grabs like this

its hard to argue that Xbox 360 offers much more than a bump up in resolution.

Fancy pictures rendered in photo mode will not represent what the game really looks like, whereas the unimpressive SD screengrabs are exactly what most will end up seeing at home on their TV.

and this crapy pic represent??? give me a break i have seen this game in vids/pics and looks great.

Here's something to ponder...why do PGR3 shots look good from every single source except that french website?

It's called cherry picking.



Those french screens feature none of the other visual effects in PGR like the lighting and reflections. On top of that, they are also taken on the test drive track (where you can test drive cars before buying) - the most boring and uninteresting track in the game.

No matter how much you "want" it to fail, it's just not going to. Sorry 'bout that.

Having played one race and watched a few more on a 50" rear projection LCD, I can say the game doesn't look nearly as impressive as all the photo mode shots and replay videos we have been seeing. But it does still look damn good and I am sure to buy it as soon as I get a 360.

Oh, and there's nothing "fancy" about taking pictures in photo mode. It just allows you to pose the camera.

Why not head over to xboxyde.com and look at the slew of high def PGR3 videos (recorded off a screen with a HD camera, but still very good quality). There are plenty with gameplay

(it wouldn't let me edit this into the above post)

Well, the ones posted on your website don't seem to be contracting those grabs by much though, though I acknowledge the fact that you didn't use a proper framebuffer graber to get your screens. Any chance you can link to some other screenshots that do represent the game as you see it (preferably at 480p and 720p ones). I really haven't seen any others besides what's been posted and those that appear to be from photo-mode.

Thanks in advance.
