It's a stretch to call the game ugly. A big stretch.
We'll have to agree to disagree. Pretty sure that talk has run its course in this thread already.
I believe it's the first time we get to experience the new physics/driving model.
The demo is only a small part of the event (1.2 million people participated, according to the video below):

I remember some of us posted our time on this forum.

Well, I look forward to seeing you call tons of next generation titles (especially ones I know you're a big fan of) "ugly".
Look, it's one thing to critique a game, it's another to be completely jaded. The game isn't ugly. If GT5 is ugly, then I guess every visual block buster on consoles this generation is ugly.

I wouldn't call the academy demo ugly, but it was a little bland. That said, the purpose wasn't to show off GT5, it was for a competition and to show off the new physics. We've seen huge improvements to the visuals since then, and from what I've seen, it is easily the best looking racer I've seen (IMHO).

I really agree with Scott here...for me the graphics in the demo was an ultra shock, worse than I remember GT5 Prologue graphics.
As I did not have seen GT5 final graphics yet, I won't judge it...but I saw the demo, and it was ugly (IMO of course)!
PS: I did the same as london-b.

Hey guys,do you really think this ridiculous 200Mb file is representative of what's gonna be the game finally??Come on,you're smarter than that...
If you would have read my post carefully, you would have read this:
Meh, GT5P still looks better than anything else out there that has to do with cars. GT5 will also.
Is just the contrast between promox bullshots and realtime ingame play graphics. Heh! :smile:

Not in this case. Again, the academy was not a good representation of what GT5 is going to look like. Recent footage blows the academy out of the water as far as visuals, plus there's still months until release. Those promo shots, while obviously touched up, is probably a better representation of what GT5 will look like.
It was good enough for me, but yeah, it's not meant as a showcase piece. Environments mean a lot. Like this stuff I shot off-screen from GT5 Prologue.
It's good to remember there's only so much you can do in 1280x1080p at 60fps with HDR and 4xMSAA and 16 cars on screen though.
For me personally, some tracks in Motorstorm 2 are visually more exciting than GT5 Prologue is ever going to be, but that's also a matter of taste. For me in GT5 it's good enough as it is - more important to have the features in place (online 16 player), and above all, getting the damn game out!
Still I'm really curious how well they manage to pull off that 3D and at what price (apart from delaying the game one or two years, probably).
Yes, they are. Saying, 'this is ugly,' is not the same as saying, 'a different product is ugly,' so such remarks shouldn't been taken to mean as much. Similar if one sees a screenshot of a closeup of a poorly lit low-res texture in a game, one can remark that screenshot is ugly without that being a judgement on the entire game with a more realistic view. I get tired of people complaining about other's personal observations.

He he...I just thought about this: it would be quite cool, if a publisher decided to show bad "anti-bullshot" pics...with a lot of stuff missing the actual game features
Because then, when people see the actual demo, reviewer judge the graphics...they would all go nuts and automatically say that the graphics is much improved and it looks good now - i.e. positive press :smile:
Specifically, the Academy demo had very poor environment. A later revision showed a much improved track:

The Colisseum shot also showed a different but very sophisticated track:

Plus, the Academy demo was only a time trial. So I didn't see any other cars on the track at all. In a nutshell, there was nothing to gawk at. The only attraction was the new driving model and physics engine.
Like Arwin, I am curious how they are going to squeeze so many things into GT5 in so little frame time. I thought some of the backdrop are 2D sprites, so what will happen if they go stereoscopic 3D ? ^_^
Nothing. They will only have depth according to their distance., And if they are TOO far away it wont make a difference if they are sprites or polygons
Trees at the front will look like they are nearer and trees at the back will look like they are further?
