    Im sorry, what was fake about that IGN shot again? Because it was frame buffer? The terrain texture looks exactly the same from that height on my Wega. Oh, the one you provided showed the textures up close so they look a lot worse. Wow ya dont say? Like every other AC game in history.

    :roll:

    The comparison is more than apt. The World Airforce terrain in that capture looks worse than a game on previous generation hardware, and I hope its not indicitive of the final product.

    Really? These two shots from G-A don't look similar, so I'm thinking one is a cutscene/replay and one is in-game. Is the difference in AA and lighting on the planes so pronounced? Does the ground detail improve in replays?

    Not in replays, but in general with AC games the ground "detail" improves the further you're away from it. ;)

    Aliasing is worse in game than in replays (its not as bad as those captures on my set though). Regardless my point was the terrain at that distance is of the same quality, and I'd certainly expect an improvement on a next gen flight game. So I stand by my assessment that World Airforce's terrain looks like raw booty. :)

    Just went looking for a real-life example of what things should look like.

    Of course it depends on the lens type as the wider the angle and smaller the aperture, the less DOF you'd get.
    Here's another...

    The terrain are from two totally different heights. It's obvious it'll look better at higher altitudes...

    BTW I think we should stop with the downscaled highresoluiton PS2 devkit PR shots.

    It reminded me of AC5 too - but with shots like these, can you blame me?

    The difference between the two will be that one looks like complete turd in-game PS2 AC5 while the other won't. It seems like the WA screenshot has heat haze coming out from the afterburners of the fights too. 8)

    Isn't this true with other air combat games as well? BTW look at that WA screenshot again. It's nowhere as high as the other AC5 pics you posted. I wouldn't be surprised if WA looked a lot better than AC5 at the same altitudes. The fighters defintely look a lot better.
