Sure, there are other textures for advertisement, but advertisement really doesn't bother me. All the wall textures of the buildings looks exactly the same like from Forza 1. I wouldn't bother about recycling when the textures would look good and there are many textures that are still fine. But there are also many textures where i just can shake my head about those bad textures.

Yes, and? Look, there's nothing to be baffled about when you are the one saying nothing was re-used as if you were the project manger.

I think you misunderstood him LEBATO, he meant the textures look the same, ie a picture of a wall is a picture of a wall.

Whether it is in high res of low res its still the same picture.

Obviously one has more detail, which actually doesn't make it the same picture..

Hmmmm...

Ok then, edited post.

Now, are they using some AF at all?

Starting from the second building to the left, everything lacks AF, and well.....it looks bad. Really bad.

I know these are bullshots, but here they are anyway *sigh*

Oh they're on xbox.com too? Didn't know that. The game looks amazing I think, but the damn AA will make it look worse. If only I didn't have my mind totally set on getting 4XAA. The demo is what will ultimately make me decide whether I care or not though.

I hope we have photomode in the demo so we can have a look at a couple things.

Suzuka is going to be one of my more favorite tracks. That, Road atlanta, Sebring and Nurburgring

Although I don't think the track they show for suzuka is right.

What they show for Suzuka is actually Mapple Valley, and what they show for Tsukuba is actually Suzuka.

And the site is extremely slow.

Heres a 55 min Forza 2 presentation for those *** Intrested in the actual GAME *** more than just the graphics. I'm only 5mins in and I heard its in french and english!

http://www.jeux-france.com/downloads7665_presentat...

EDIT 1: Quite similar to the GDC presentation in terms of information, but different car and theres some other new stuff in there :)

EDIT 2: Lots great racing after the presentation, at around 40mins! Also for those thinking they reused Forza 1 textures, skip to around 46mins, Laguna seca looks awesome!!

2007-05-02 02:42:49

Man.........I actually wouldn't like to have Greenawalt's job, doing the same presentation a thousand times.........damn.

2007-05-02 02:53:17

Guy driving at 2:03 and through like 2:40? Awesome vid. Wish I could see it closer, but great.

nvm he drives for much much longer than that :D

EDIT: not that i was in any doubt, but that guy driving the red car sold the game for me. Sick driving!

Yeh that guy definately knows what hes doing, reminds me of myself ;p

EDIT: He has ALL the assistance on so hes not that impressive afterall

2007-05-02 03:10:42 In reply to Jin187 (2007-05-02 03:04:25)

First off, how do you know that, and secondly i could tell that he was a nut just by the lines he was taking. He knew that track backwards.

This game is gonna have me hooked. Steep learning curve and customisation.

I'm quite suprised that you were ever in doubt tbh

2007-05-02 04:27:11

More disappointed at the unkept promise about 4XAA at the very last minute since I had my mind set on it and I was expecting it.

Looking at the gameplay vid if this thing had 4XAA it would be damn near perfect, but I don't really mind since it looks so good. I'm sure they'll be able to achieve 4XAA next time :D
