If it looks worse than the videos they've been showing it's probably better to leave people in the dark.
because it takes time to put together an e3 demo. this is time a dev can spend developing a game. if pgr3 is going to be one of the premier 360 launch titles, theres no reason to waste a month of dev time on a demo that will be seen by a few 1000 people for 3 days for free at that.

true. I agree. But not to single out anyone but this IS like their biggest game that people have been proclaiiming is in game. I've seen the trailer and the GI bouncing off the models is so apparent, that I think its all CG. If it doesn't at least hold up to the trailer... :O Most of the other visual target games have missed their mark so I was wondering how this one will stack up.
GDC or something then.

PGR2 was awesome. I don't care what you guys say.

There's got to be a lot of bullplop to that explanation, unless you are willing to posit a decent theory as to why anybody would bother with playable demos at all, if afterall they are a waste of development time solely for the benefit of a few thousand people.

Because, as mentioned in another thread, back in e3 2003 the exact same thing where MS made bizarre creations create an e3 demo and they we're livid about it because they had to take time out of their development.
Also, to those that think it's cg, take a look at the buildings at 36 seconds in. They're very low on geometry. Nearly flat, even. You don't really notice because it's very quick cuts, but front what we've seen in screenshots, I really don't see why the trailer is necessarily cg.

If the PGR3 video was an indication of where the game's detail level is currently at, it may just chug on the current alpha kits and so was left out of the show.

What? That makes me sad, it was one of the most impressive X360 titles shown. Hopefully the final product lives up to that vid.

Global Illumination is normally baked right into textures and verticies of the environment geometry. Global Illumination on the vehicle lighting is normally faked with a cubic environment map or a spherical harmonics gradient. Rallisport 2 Gotham 2 Forza GT4 etc all use the same technique. From the videos there is no way of telling whether the GI is rendered on the fly or baked right in. The only thing I think I could see going on is high dynamic range lighting which is quickly becoming a hallmark of next gen graphics and that is fully achievable in real time on current high end cards.
it wasnt CG. this is fact. you can quote me on this and the reason as well. go watch the video with sessler interviewing J allard and listen to what he says about e3 demos. what i will also tell you is that if you thought pgr3 looked good on the alpha kits prepare to be blown away. remember that the beta kits just went out then add the fact that pgr3 is missing. put 2 and 2 together people. thats all i will say.
