MotorStorm THE GRAPHICAL GOD.

I think that every effect and model they showed in the trailer made it in some form into the game. Pretty sure that's what they were getting at. The dirt particles, the physics, the lighting, the vehicles and animiations are all in the demo on the PSN store. Somethings are even better, like the mud or the destruction models, when you total a truck you can see individual parts fly off like hoses, gears, shocks, etc. 

CGI and gameplay will never look the same, CGI is alway razor sharp and everything looks conhesive. Realtime will always have aliasing, even the best games have alittle, and models will always look seperate from the environments. Anyone who ever believed that the target render was real time, really had their head in the clouds. Forza 2 is the same deal, no realtime footage has been shown, but people keep posting trailers and screen renders, saying "oooo it's better looking than GTHD" 

I'm impressed, if it wasn't for the 2D grass, which they could still improve, I'd say it's as close as any game could get to that CGI trailer right now. Despite what the anti-Sony fanboys may say, Motorstorm is downright gorgeous. I absolutely can't wait to play it next month.

The actual game itself does not look as good as the trailer. That doesn't mean the game looks bad, because it looks pretty great actually, but nowhere near as incredible as that trailer. ColoradoKindBud

Jack Tretton thinks the retail looks better than the trailer. He isn't biased, is he???REVENGEotSITH

People, the trailer WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE GAMEPLAY. And it's pretty obvious when you look at the camera anglesTimesplitter14

I agree that it looks good (not good enough to make me buy a PS3, but good), but I laughed when I read where he thought the retail looked better than the CGI target video.  Jack, please, stop treating us like idiots.

Motorstorm looks better than every 360 game for the next 2-3 years. 360 hit its peak with Gears of War and that doesnt even have much draw distance to be comparable to Motorstorm.mskrft007

I dont know what my problem is, but I just dont think this game is anything great. I really want it to be...but for some reason the gameplay reminds me of last gen. I will say that I think the game looks better than anything i have seen on the 360 or the PS3. I just dont think it feels different from anything else that I have been playing for the last couple of years. Pretty graphics aside, what sets this game apart?chumpion69

Graphical God? it's not. have you ever paused the game and looked at how horrible the 2D sprites look? it makes the crowds in NBA 2K6 look good. :|Dreams-Visions

Lots of people. I've been playing the demo since it was released and I can safely say it does not look like the trailer from E305.hellsing321

I get that part of it, but didnt I do that to some extent in other racing games?  I dont know, to me it seems like you accelerate, brake, and boost and try to blow up going through the finish line.  Hopefully the other levels have some more dimensions. 

Too bad the game only has eight freaking tracks:|FrenziedRaldo24

I hope you're right.  Maybe I just played too much Jet Moto back in the day and am now jaded to the craziness of this type of game. 

I own the demo and it sucks. You crash into the slightest little thing and it goes into slow motion, trying to show impressive physics, that don't deliver. Unless they really improved over the demo I don't see that game doing so great.rexoverbey

The footage from the game looks VERY close to the trailer. It's all about the perspective it's taken in.

until you match the 10 mile draw distance that was shown in Halo3, please don't talk about draw distances....;)

A graphical god, no!

A good looking game, yes!

Now if you want graphics that the almighty would approve of then check out Crysis! :o
