[QUOTE="o0squishy0o"]what do you expect from sim racing game? unrealistic effects/filters like the one in Grid or Dirt? Those effects are good if its for a sci-fi game not racing. I completely agree to a certain point. I believe that some filters can add extra to a game purely from an asthetics point, however it depends on how far you want to push it. However what I mean is better looking tracks, busy looking pit lanes, marbles that build up on the side of the track, you go into a gravel pit; you actually see the trenchs of where the car has gone etc. There is a certain point where you can improve the look of the car or you can spend those same resources on improving the world around you. Put it this way, would you like to play an FPS with stunning looking weapons and a meh world. Or would you like to have a better looking world to which the lesser detailed weapons look more in place as there is not such a jarring difference.I think the main problem with trying to say "OMGS THIS IS NEXT GEN!!!!" is that this game; based on those screen shots looks like a cleaner, sharper version of forza and GT. I am not saying this is a bad looking game but how much better can you make carbon fibre, black paint, chrome rims before you just go "well I have seen that before". Looking at the screen shots they seem to have only black paint (not exciting to look at) and the scenery just seems empty. Racing games I think need to focus more on the environments now. I saw a screen shot of forza horizon I think, and the cliff was probably 64polys, you could see plainly that it was just flat and nothing to it.
I think to main the next staggeringly beautiful game you need something like Motorstorm, which while in places it was ugly (specially the ground texture) but when you are racing for a bit and the dust kicks up and the muddy ditches start to show I thought it was one of the best looking racing games I have seen.
To be honest I am supprised racing games do spend as much time and resources on the cars as they do because honestly they are starting to get only minor improvements.

[QUOTE="Nuck81"]I agree[QUOTE="sts106mat"]that is hideous. there's no excuse for 2D trees that up close in this day and age.sts106mat
Direct linl for Gamespot.
err, so that is a gameplay shot comparable to GT5 is it? NO. also, those trees are nowhere near as fugly as the screen razgriz posted. but hey, at least you agreed, that they are hideous. Those tree's are jsut as flat and 2D as anything in GT5.

If those are next gen graphics i want my money back, for real those don't look like anything special infact those pics don't look any better then GT5 photomode pics.

These are actual ingame graphics unlike GT5s photomode where it takes the PS3 a minute to render a single frame at this high resolution.
These actual ingame shots I've taken with the free cam. Project C.A.R.S. is also still in development, and many effects are not finished yet. I.e. Clouds, dynamic weather and lots of trackside objects etc. are still missing.
I don't know what the PS3 fanboys are talking about. I have a PS3, and I play Gran Turismo. Even photomode doesn't look this good. Project Cars is already phenomenal, and will look absolutely mind blowing when it's actually finished. I'll be surprised if even the racing games on the next-gen consoles come close.
Here's a time lapse gif of the new dynamic cloud system:
