Nitpicky Time......

Beetle hub caps are never that shiny.

What the hell's going on in the window of the Miata? Blurry texture?

That RX8 pic is fucking art.

DaCocoBrova · Sep 20, 2004

No car is ever that shiny. That applys to all of the cars.

Soooo sexy. *purrs like a kitten*

Gregory · Sep 20, 2004

Holy shit. Are these pics from that photomode or something? That is the closest I`ve ever seen to photorealism, excepting the rally shot. The others are just incredible.

WarPig · Sep 20, 2004

Yes, these are definitely posed shots from the photo mode, 'cept for that rallying one. I remember that background from the E3 photo mode demo, it's in Osaka somewhere. Very pretty.

teiresias · Sep 20, 2004

HOLY CRAP!!!

That's obviously photo mode, but it's sooooooo pretty!!

Love the GT-Four RC

evilromero · Sep 20, 2004

Pics of replays just piss me off. Most of the time you're behind the wheel and that always looks significantly less impressive. I want to see the game "wow" me when it's behind the car and not always in replay. I don't think I can ever stand to sit through even one lap of a replay.

LAMBO · Sep 20, 2004

It's cool to have replay, or touched up shots as long as the devs aren't trying to pass them off for ingame.

The goal here is to SELL the game. Everybody knows what the driving portion looks like ; they want to be wowed by the graphics.

It's false advertising if you ask me. Remember GT2? I want some gameplay shots, shots of customization your car etc..

Well it's not like some developers release 1600x resolution screenshots with anti-aliasing and stuff

cobragt3 · Sep 21, 2004

Replays use the ingame graphics fyi. You'd know this if you set up a gt3 lan party and watched a real time race in replay views. Things look exactly like a normal replay, even the heat haze is present, this ofcourse will be the same with gt4. We all know photomode locals look better than the gt4 tracks. Again, replay pics aren't misleading, replays use the ingame graphics like the cutscenes in halo2 or mgs3 use the ingame graphics.

are the photo mode graphics real time?

WarPig · Sep 21, 2004

seismologist said:

No, the game takes your inputs and creates a sorta render on the fly with extra lighting and reflection effects and stuff.

DFS.

Ranger X · Sep 21, 2004

errr, isn't it just the resolution and then after that YOU apply the filters you want?

WarPig · Sep 21, 2004

Wyzdom said:

Nah, I think you have to pick what filters you want before it creates the picture. I could be wrong, though, the demo was months ago, and what they showed us wasn't the finished interface.

gtmax · Sep 21, 2004

I hope that in that 500+cars there will be a lot of new models. I'm almost getting tired of seeing screens with 'regular' cars in them. PD should step it up and include many more exotics and very high end cars.

I hope we'll be pleasantly surprised.

There's an echo in here.

Fusebox · Sep 21, 2004

Isnt it in-game gfx, but minus the AI and physics calculations and so the devs use the extra power to increase visual effects?

yeah, but its real-time, in-game graphics nonetheless...

damn those are pretty though

Fusebox · Sep 21, 2004

So its in-game graphics with non-in-game visual enhancements?

hirokazu · Sep 21, 2004

Fusebox said:

see, what's being debated over isn't whether they are in-game visuals or not, but what is considered as in-game. i'll concede and say they're at least real-time, which is impressive enough for me.

i don't mind spruced up visuals during replays simply from the fact that they can do it...

Optimistic · Sep 21, 2004

If that hasn't been touched up Michael jackson style my name's Batman.

hirokazu · Sep 21, 2004

those are photo mode pictures, they are 'touched up' - by the PS2

Too bad you are too blind to notice, o well.

cobragt3 · Sep 21, 2004

The photomode pics are ingame graphics and detail but they are at a res the ps2 can't handle.

Makura · Sep 21, 2004

Amazing.

Phoenix · Sep 21, 2004

I think its more the glass that looks unrealistic than the cars. That makes the car overall look super extra shiny. The environment map for the body shouldn't be the same as the environment mapping for the windows.

Loosk great though. Do the extra effects make it look like its running at 100FPS?

lunlunqq · Sep 21, 2004

The photo mode pics are definitely "in-game" and "real-time" because the PS2 generates those pics based on your settings of car, camera angle, envirement, applied filter, etc...The difference is, during the gameplay, PS2 only have 1/60 sec to generate a picture (frame) based the current setting, but in the photo mode, PS2 can take its time (seconds even minutes) to render a much more detailed picture like what we saw above.

DemonCleaner · Sep 21, 2004

holy shiii

eso76 · Sep 21, 2004

Amazing...anyone knows how long it takes to render those pics ?
The lightning seems to be using some kind of fresnel and a hint of radiosity; it's HARD to nail reflections and lightning this 'right' even on professional packages like maya or lightwave and it would take several (several) minutes to render similar images, and hours to input every parameter needed for each material.
The guys at Poliphony are amazing when it comes to this kind of things, they really know what they're doing.

Blimblim · Sep 21, 2004

Btw there are a lot more screenshots of the game there :

It's in french but I'm sure you'll be able to find the 200 pictures there

You obviously have never met any first year 3d students.
