Yeah, it looks amazing. Like someone else said, it does have flows. AF still seems to be a problem, not as bad as before though. 3D grass or "3D patches" of grass as in FM2 would help the look of the grassy areas. But other than that, it's hard to come up with big faults. It looks incredible regardless, it looks the best in its genre.

COMING ON SEPTEMBER!!!!!!!!!! Halo 3 is going to have to share some time for PGR4 :D

2007-07-11 07:36:22

Is it just me or do the bikes and riders look out of scale compared to the cars? I've not been around Nobles, Ferraris, Atoms or other Supercars, but the Motorbikes look very big in comparison... maybe a lot of the supercars are just that small. Just something I've noticed in some of the new screenshots. I would really be suprised if Bizarre, would screw with something like that in the scale of vehicles.

Here's a bike video for you guys : http://www.jeuxvideo.tv/video-exclu-1-gameplay-e3-...
The quality is not really good, ingame looks more than ok, but I'm not really sold on that bike thing.
The triumph the guy is racing doesn't seem to be very fast and he's not a good pilot either... well let's say he's trying to earn kudos.
Edit : you're welcome, mate ;-)
I hope Snoopers and Pipo shot a few PGR4 videos during E3, because I'd really like to see a better definition one.

Why is PGR 4 being overlooked by nearly every gamesite there been no videos and this is only one i have seen with someone playing it. ?

Thanks for video by the way. :)

Edit: he just mucking around trying everything rather see a video of someone on Augusta Senna or CBR

2007-07-14 04:15:27

PGR4 just keeps impressing me :D I'm so excited about this game.

New trailer in HD.

Now THAT is how you do a trailer :)

:O

Blows me away. Definitely one of this years E3's highs. If any racing game could steal the show, this would be it.. shows you how tough some of the competition was this year.

WOW.

2007-07-14 14:35:54

WOW that trailer is top notch. Thats how you do a trailer. Wow and the music is great.

The fans have spoken. Concerning the graphics of the Halo 3 Beta: "There's so many little effects and things going on that make this game pretty much 2nd only to Gears at the moment."

2007-07-14 15:19:18

Seriously its major title all i have saw is Gamespot hands on with demo and that was 3rd day in and Jeux video.

Should be getting as much coverage as games like Cod 4 etc.

2007-07-14 15:29:23

The September release surprised me aswell, because all previous PGR's have always been released in November.. I guess they had to (and could) move it to spread all the major releases a bit..

September makes sense though: It isn't an FPS, so it isn't competing with Halo 3; so it makes a nice "accessory" game to pick up with Halo 3.

It has a robust online experience which should appeal to Halo gamers. It has some killer graphics and is a known, well liked franchise.

If I were MS I would try to angle PGR3 in a way so that when those 4.5M people line up to get Halo 3 they see PGR4 in displays and kiosks and sitting right next to it.

It is one of the perfect games to compliment, and not compete with, Halo 3 and could, possibly, see a nice sales spike due to association. We can hope!

Ok, so what is everyone's fav PGR4 shot? You only get one, so pick wisely :P

I liked some of the older ones, but the opening of the new trailer is my favorite.

I like it because it has everything "coming together".
The car model is insanely detailed. Just... wow.
The paint shader is spot on.
The water drops look realistic.
The rain is subtle yet noticable and not distracting, low quality or cartoony.
The reflections are perfect--not overdone, but also present. It looks like an expensive car paint job in overcast lighting with a mild sunbreak... just what you expect.
HDR is also perfect--nice highlights, and present where you expect it and NOT where it shouldn't be. Great contrast, solid lighting model.
Great occlusion; the model has "depth" due to the lighting model, you can see how the arches occlude the sun on the underside.
Great texture quality and filtering, e.g. you can read the ALPINE logo on the left perfectly.
The crowds are huge and you can see numerous animated states and diversity in dress.
The clouds are beautiful, BC balanced the lighting and shadowing in this low contrast overcast with sunbreak settings perfectly. Anti-climactic lighting done awesome.
The building on the right has amazing detail, reflective windows (and all catching slightly different angles), poly rails.
Aliasing... I almost forgot to mention it because BC whipped it. Edges are clean, textures are clean, shaders look clean for the most par, reflections aren't killed with nuclear reaction style bloom and aliasing.
The world is detailed, and the cars even more so.

Toss in the cabin view, dynamic weather changes, more robust online options, and bikes and... wow.

2007-07-15 21:08:15

Yep mine too.

Aside from the crowd closest to the foreground, it's on the line of photorealism.

2007-07-15 21:13:33

Thats also mine looks scarily kinda real tbh. :)

2007-07-15 21:14:56

Yeah, that's my favorite too. It just looks unbelievable.

2007-07-16 01:31:33

That trailer is just unbelievable. I've watched it several times. The editing is top notch.

I think the music was better in the two weather sneak peek vids personally.

2007-07-16 07:44:39

Wow the bike gameplay really does look horrible.... game doesn't seem like it was made to have bikes in it.
