Big improvement, very nice, great.

Now, WTF is up with the Corvette? Is that the awesome AI? Is it so realistic they actually get drunk or what the hell was that?

Other than that, I'm hoping Che was changing cameras, because if not, replays suck ass once again :(

Looks fantastic. This has to be my most anticipated game in a long time, the wait for release is killing me.

Newest Pitpass video...

Not better than what I was expecting... but met my expectations. Finally looking like I think it should. Finally a good direct feed video!

Phenomenal! If R class class cars look that damn good, imagine what the normal road production cars will look like!!!!!!

Also loving the amount of dust that flies up when on the dirt and it actually stays for a decent amount of time too, this is what i've always wanted :D

Just appreciating something thats finally been implemented well :p If you watch it again, you will notice that the smoke doesnt instantly fly off the tyres, it appears gradually from the skid marks, like its actually burning and rises up in cloud, looks far more realistic

Che also said there will be another video next week, and that the pitpass will come on Thursday not Friday.

I believe replays run at 30fps and gameplay is 60fps.

this is looking really immersive, not just becuase of the 3 screen, but the sound, dust, damage, wheel. Drifting looks great aswell. Gonna have to tune up an ultimate drifting car:)

Yes, replays are 30fps with DOF, Motionblur, and "other stuff".

The game looks very good and has shaped up well. This video is all you need to see to know this is going to be a ton of fun -- and with multi-monitor and FF Wheel support it has a lot of "expansion" options to increase the fun factor for those with cash.

The PR on this game still sucks. And I swear Turn10/Dan just listed a wishlist/laundry list of features and content back at E3 2006 and had no clue what would make it into the game. While still not the finished build it looks like per-frame reflection updates are gone now too. They appear to be in the replays (here), but the cubemaps are really chopping ingame (here and here). Their DOF/MB effects in replays are well balanced as well -- much better than their first crap shots (still cannot believe some people thought those old shots looked great and were PGR killers) -- so I don't see the need to have removed them. Their past comments on photomode no longer holds water though (about being identical to ingame) which puts a final exclaimation on the whole FM2 experience from Turn10 so far: A great sim and horrible/misleading PR.

Hopefully we will get more *ingame* (not replay) HD video soon. This game is still light on quality media (the customization editor looks sweet). Hopefully some of the courses have more atmospherics because thus far the 3D animated grass is pretty sparse/rare. But they seem to have decent levels of AF enabled so that definately is positive. Mixed bag graphically (the sky, sun, and trees all look absolutely great... aliasing all over the place not so much), but gameplay is looking really good and that is what mainly counts.

Wishlist: PGR4 with a FF wheel, 2K Legends Football, and Halo 3 with an XFPS controller. And I can dream that Halo Wars will be a Battlezone PC clone...

Oh, I see.

Well, to me, the graphics are now acceptable. There are some thing I will simply not be happy about no matter what (and not only graphics wise), no need to name them again I suppose.

EDIT: As for the video with the wheel, I saw way too much wheel movement and not enough crashes........we'll see though, if Forza doesn't make good use of the wheel, no game will.

"Hopefully some of the courses have more atmospherics because thus far the 3D animated grass is pretty sparse/rare"

To me it is just impressive how a game like Rallisport Challenge 2 was able to achieve all that amazing looking grass. Now DIRT seems to set the bar really high in next gen. Needless to say, the "grass" in FM2 is more like patches of grass.....and is it still animated? I haven't seen it move yet.

Also Acert, is what we are seeing global illumination or was that also removed?

what was wrong with those shots? I think they look just as good if not better.

This is unbelievable.......I'm sorry, but yes, I think it looks amazing. The cars look so freaking realistic.
