Blimblim's PGR3 impressions (hands-on)
- Thread starter u_neek
- Start date
Well, no there isn't any cockpit visible of course, but I play with the "inside car" camera.Gregory said:
The cockpit view in PGR3 seemed (I've seen it for like 5 seconds) to be non obtrusive, something like 10% of the bottom of the image was lost for the beginning of the cockpit. I think if you want to watch your dashboard you'd have to lower the "freelook" camera.
Of course this was just a glimpse of a very in progress version of the game so I don't pretend it will be like this in the final build.

I only use the cockpit view when it comes to racers.
I doubt this will be 60 fps. Maybe 40-50 fps.

sounds good. I like the idea of a cockpit view, but don't waste too much space on the actual cockpit. One thing they need though is adjustable seats. I generally sit fairly high up when driving normally so I can see the front of my bonnet. In a cockpit view I'd also want to see the front corners of the car
Heck, let me adjust the wing mirrors too
I hope they keep the freelook. Forza almost had that, but snapped at certain points. I'd like to be able to glance around at other cars' positions.
didn't you think the blur effect was a bit too much in this build? I've also had the opportunity to attend one of these presentations, and it kinda annoyed me that the blur effect kicked in way too soon, even when he just started accelerating. It was impossible this way to see how nice the buildings actually look (at least, i suppose they look nice, given the screens of them released in the past). When I asked about it he told me the blur effect was still not finalised, but I hope they don't overdo it ...
Nick mentionned that the motion blur was overdone in this build and that they had already turned it down quite a lot. I think it was a very interesting demonstration of how things would look at very high speed, and of course if it was like it was today for every speeds, then it would get annoying really really fast.Mc Nappy said:
Bizarre responded to your impressions in the coments to their update:
What do I say to that? Well, looking around the office right now there are plenty of dev kits running WAY above 15fps.

Well, I can't add much more to Blim's impressions, it was after all not that long the presentation itself
One small detail perhaps: as blim already said, the interior is extremely detailed (that one shot was awesome!), and when you are driving at night, you will see the interior change, some small interior lights for example that are switched on etc. Everything that is in the car in real life, is in the game version as well, fully functioning. Sounds cool I think.Also the user friendly design of it all, Gotham TV and such. Everything is handed on a silver plate to the gamer. The game tells you about special events you might wanne tune in on, or even be a part of yourself. So you don't have to look for that information yourself. And that applies for everything else too ... Really can't wait to participate in the Belgian PGR 3 online tournament

Blim all I want to know is how many towles did you need to clean up the mess in you pants!
I want this game
I want this game
That bastard Nick did not mention that to us. I hate him nowMc Nappy said:Well, I can't add much more to Blim's impressions, it was after all not that long the presentation itself
. Did he mention something about the weather system? We still don't know anything about it (if it exists) and I completely forgot to ask...Blimblim said:That bastard Nick did not mention that to us. I hate him now
That is a really REALLY important point Bizarre hasn't touched upon. We still haven't seen different weather pictures, or even night time pictures.
did forget to ask about the weather system myself too, as a big fan of the series I was way to excited in the beginning to start thinking of all the questions I wanted to ask
Btw, this isn't something they said explicitely or anything, but I don't think we have to expect the game at launchdate itself. One of my Belgian colleges asked about the releasedate, but they were rather evasive about it en were mentionning the 'launch window' a lot, and even mentionned a possible different releasedate between EU and US (not months of course but still)

LOL @ "old black betakit"
The "alpha kit" excuse, and now this? Wtf are they doing, they don't even know how to impress the media with the latest version of devkit? If it's not ready by now 2 months before the launch, how can they mass-produce those chips for damn 360 consoles?

why would they do that?? im sure they have a newer version running on the newest dev kits.
EDIT
doh. im a bit slow. ^^^^
Nope. Not good enough. I expected a lot of 60 fps out of the gate last gen, and I expect MORE this time.
We've yet to see ONE shot of Ridge Racer 6, but I would say that there is a 99.9% chance that it will run at a rock solid 60 fps. There is no excuse.
However, like I said, I really think they will hit 60 fps for PGR3. I'm sure they are well aware of how people felt about the 30 fps of PGR2.
