The GT5 expectation thread (including preview titles)*

[inefficient]

Downloaded the video on my PS3 and had to watch it a couple times.

It looks impossibly good. I'm not convinced it is real time! Not with that level of AA and 1080p! I guess we will find out in just 2 more days.

If it does turn out to look just like that Sony is going to have a hell of an impressive way to show off the PS3. But if it just looks like the TGS demo, there will likely be negative reaction to it.

BTW, Dec 24th in Japan is Dec 23rd in the USA.

Gametrailers have a 720p version. It has it's moments of realism, and in that clever GT method, you're eye's so taken with the cars you ignore the rather iffy scenery. As mentioned already, the car detail is pretty extreme. The car shaders are mostly very convincing. The lighting could be improved though. In the last scene, with the gold car passing under the trees, there's no shadow cast across the car at all. Thus the stills look a lot closer to photos than the game in motion, as the areas that 'need' improving aren't apparent.

As for AA, I think this trailer is intended for Japanese TV, going by GameTrailer. At which point IQ will be of the impossible-promotional-strength variety, only available by prescription.

That's odd about the shadows since they did shadowing or whatever you want to call it in this tunnel pic

Indeed the contrast does some difference. Still the visuals are great. But again there is this "grizzly" effect on the actual thing just like COD3 and other slightly washed out titles which makes me wonder wether its a hardware issue than a developer thing.

What washed out issues are you talking about?

Thanks! The trailer is really astonishing.

BTW which song/soundtrack is it?

Yeah it's offical. Some guy that lives in Japan just said that he saw this on Japanese TV. Wonder what they think about the video?

I upload'd the video for people that dont have a PS3

The video is native 1080p and in .mp4 video format

Enjoy

(high quality) Blur wise yes.. I would use CELL to do that..(as post processing effects)..even though one needs to probably output a velocity buffer for the cars with RSX.
HQ AA is another matter..

Image based motion blur will never look as good as PRMan's stuff, though. Cars moving towards/away from the camera, or entering/leaving the frame may also show strange artifacts.

Though I wonder if a typical viewer would notice the difference...

Visit gametrailers, they have the trailer up since yesterday.

Bingo! The "typical user" will look at your in a weird way if you even say the words "motion blur"... Let alone distinguishing between two types of it. They'll think you're talking about a rock band, a new videogame, or a new brand of condom...

 

[Nesh]

What washed out issues are you talking about?

Something similar to the COD3 comparisons. Colors having some grizzly effect. Dont get me wrong, the game (GT:HD) looks fantastic to me despite that

 

[jamesnmandy]

they definitely need to work on the surroundings, they look very PS2'ish i guess, or last gen anyways....seems to me that if they can do what they did with the car detail which is very very good, they could much more easily use real backgrounds since they are pretty much just static....

now i want to see what Forza 2 can do for me on my 360......i'm tired of waiting

Thats because they are

 

[icecold1983]

wow this game looks fing amazing

 

[Metalmurphy]

There's a couple of new videos on the Japanese website:

Btw almighty, they're not. That was GT HD Classic mode, this track was from the Premium mode, as in GT 5 WIP.

 

[patsu]

I agree that the cars look fantastic. These media are like car-pr0n. You (well, I) don't see the background. All eyes on the subject. ... hmm... and free too

 

[Mr. Domino]

Thats because they are

That track was completly build from scratch for PS3 though.
