Perhaps it's just me but that looks a tad better than what we saw in the realtime trailer. Could just be cuz it's sharper, though.

This is exactly the type of thing MS needs right now for the 360 to get to the mainstream public. No one who loves games will be able to pass by the magazine rack without at least picking the mag up to get a closer look. Very nice.

Yeah. Next Generation was the last to do that far as I can recall.

there are guys driving... look for a white helmet just off to the left (as you look at it) and up from the steering wheel in the tvr. It just isn't immediatel;y apparent because of how shiney the windscreen is, but the drivers are there.

By saying this looks ok, it implies there are some -if not many- games out there that look better. How about you bring some up? Spare me the "not nextgen enough" line too, since there really is no "nextgen" standard. That's what is currently being established.
I have no reason to baselessly hate this game. I've signed on for the XBOX360 and I'm really looking forward to it. That said, I'm not finding PGR3 to be as impressive as I thought it would be. Maybe it's the lack of actual gameplay footage or maybe that it's the game they're showing now isn't nearly as impressive as the teaser screen and the first screenshot. Regardless, I'm let down.

That is a hot cover, I really like it. The graphics are incredible, I love how detailed the exteriors of the cars are.

And THIS pgr3?
The first one is a different lighting condition, that's why it looks so much different.
The second was never claimed to be real-time by the developers.

What ever dude. Anyone disapointed by this game graphicaly needs to be immediately institutionalised. What system have you been playing on the past 4 years?SHOCKIE said:
The first one is a concept render of what the devs thought they would do, from a city that won't even be in a game (because of some sucky law in France) ever again, at least if the devs aim for total visual realism.olimario said:Where is THIS pgr3?
And THIS pgr3?
The second has never ever been a realtime shot.
Gek: Bizarre has always had a problem with the cars lighting. I hoped that with PGR3 they'd final get it right, but I don't think they will manage to do it.

They sure didn't attempt to make it known that those weren't real time shots. They look absolutely amazing and lead everyone to believe that they WERE the PGR3 we were getting. It's a horrible bait and switch and nobody calls them on it. I thought media was there to hold devs accountable.
No France in a "real looking" racer again, unless you have months and months of time.op_ivy said:Blim, can you elaborate on that "sucky law"? no france in pgr3?
There is a law in France called "droit à l'image" that forces people to ask for the authorization for ever using someone's or a shop/commercial building likeness before you can use it for whatever you want to do (be it TV, a game or whatever).
It means that Bizarre/MS or any other dev has to ask every shop/building owner about the being in the game. That in itself is not that much of a problem, but if this person refuses (and it happens all the time) then the law says that they can't even use something that looks like the shop/building AT ALL. You can't just swap a few letters in the name like you see so often elsewhere, you have to change the whole architecture completely.
Needless to say this is way too much work, not even mentioning it kills the realistic look you wanted in the first place.

that sounds crazy...
so in every french film where its shot on a exterior location, regardless of how small a place of establishment is on the screen, permission has to be sought from each individual?? how about if it is completely out of focus 100s of metres away but if you know the place you'd know what it is?? i'm not doubting such a law, but it's just really crazy.

Apparently the french are against free international advertising for their local businesses. God forbid.
In theory, yes they have to get the authorization. And if you wanted to follow the law to the letter you'd have to ask every people whose face will be seen too.jerrymaguire said:
If it's just a few seconds in a camera shot I guess it should not be that much of a problem, but in a game everything is modeled and will be seen for as much time as the player wants to, and the law has to be followed.
It's not a completely bad law, as it FORCES everyone to ask for permission before they can use footage where you appear (imagine being somewhere you are not supposed to be, and being seen on national TV for whatever reason), but it's still annoying.
