Bob Stanley posted this at the OLR forums today regarding the video released
recently, and the game's graphics.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, I just found out that movie was made 3 months ago, Sadlers car
taking off was somewhat "contrived" for the movie and it was made in
800x600x16 due to some technical difficulties. I understand there is going
to be a demo so you can judge from that. Personally, I think the sim itself
is very impresive. Last night I started paying attention to the graphics. I
always kinda blew them off because as long as they looked decent that was
all that mattered to me. I don't look at them while racing. Anyway, I
noticed some cool stuff, the people in the grandstands are all 3d and
they're animated. They stand up and wave and cheer. I was hopen a good
looken woman would stand up and flash me but I guess that would screw up the
"E' rating Either that or they were waiting for Jr. to drive by.
I'm running at 1280x960x32 and the detail is amazing. All of the lines/edges
are crisp and sharp. The car colors are vibrant while looking at them from
incar or a replay although they appear somewhat washed out in some of the
splash screens. The grass looks like grass, there is even rust on some of
the fence polls. The infield vehicles aren't boxy. The video trons are very
cool. There are wall marks left on the wall when you hit it. More imporantly
to me, when wathcing the car from a replay the car moves like the suspension
is working like it's supposed to. The tires even have that bulge from low
air pressure when you're going slow and round out as you speed up. I'm very
impressed and I think you guys will be too.
Regards,
Bob
