Looking good but hoping for more polish

The car looks like one on the streerts exept for the backgrouns. I think backgrounds will improve later on with the systems age.
Aliasing! Why is there aliasing in next-gen especially Xbox360 which said it has special features to nullify that!!! Regardless, gorgeous screenshot. Road textures suck though and not much detail in the background.

Must be a really early shot all the screenshots suffer from serious aliasing problems and everything seems so washed out, the lighting looks horrible too.

How about picking pictures that actually do the game justice besides that one next time...

have you guys noticed that whenever a car was about to crash (in the video) the video shows a different car. its like they dont want to show anything of the cars get damaged...that is, if they even do get damaged.
Not bad, infact it looks better in screenshots than the NFS Mostwanted video at MTV.com. But aliasing should be removed coz that would stick out in 720p. Ouch!

Yep Damnit your right EA might be losing their edge as far as videogame graphics go.

The four screenshots bustabusta just posted are almost definetly renders and not in game play graphics, the ones I posted look more like in game shots
I just saw the video of this game. Microsoft should seriously consider scrapping their Xbox360 and build a new system. They'd still have a year to bring it out. I mean this game stutters like crazy whenever there were close encounters and the quality of graphics isn't even close to what the screenshots above depict. It's the same NFSU2 quality with better textures, thats all. Nothing next-gen about it. Oh man, I am seriously gettin put off by Xbox360 now. I'm starting to doubt if it even has what it takes to be Next-gen console!!!?

Like I said they are pre-renders and not in game shots, the screenshot I picked out is what in game graphics look like.

I have to agree with you this time Makaveli this game in motion doesn't look as good. The PGR3 screenshot looks alot better though.

Hey don't shoot the messenger I'm just stating what the game looks like currently, where does it say how long down the road it is in development?
It will obviously improve a lot but man they shouldn't have put shots out at this stage it is way too early.
Yea, atleast they could have pasted "Work in Progress" somewhere on the video if it stutters so much.
Heck, I saw an uber cool looking RE4 build but it had "Workinprogress" printed on the video. I could swear it maybe a final build of the game. But who knows when this game will be out. Maybe at launch or maybe a year later. It looks bland now!

You people do realized these games were all running on less than final specs right? no 3cpu core, no r500 gpu, so no wonder they aren't running full detail, or running over 30fps. All these developers will be getting final kits over the next couple of months so they can tweak their games and add in all the fancy special effects and such. This is why you see a lack of AA in some shots, or reduced detail in others. I think that PGR3, Gears of War, and Ghost Recon 3 have all shown what can be done first generation in the next generation. That is what developers are going to shoot for at first, and hopefully most of them will hit it. It isn't the hardware that is the issue once they have full working systems it is the deveopers abilities.

You must have a link to where it says this was incomplete and not running on final spec hardware, hook me up with the link that says the developers are getting their kits in the next couple of months, I must have missed all this news, can't find it anywhere on the gaming sites I checked out, thanks.

A very intriguing game for me because it is based in Hawaii and I live in Hawaii (Maybe I'll see my house :roll: ). The scenery doesn’t look that much like Hawaii, well some parts of Hawaii look a little like that. I can tell you though the license plates are spot on :)
Over all it's look good but not great. The game play doesn’t look very good, as others said they stray away from crashes and such in the vid. Trust me in real life if you go 100+ MPH on the curvy two lane roads that go around the island you will get in a major accident every 10 seconds so I'm interested about how they will make that work.

I doubt theyr shooting for a realistic experience strife, I mean if you crash at 70MPH with a car coming the other way anywhere your almost certainly dead, at 100MPH you'll be in smithereens but in Burnout you can crash at 140MPH and recover ten seconds later, theyr probably shooting for a more crash n burn experience than a simulation experience.
P.S. Hows the weather in hawaii :D

If thats the case, people/developers who respect their work would go out of their ways to make sure everyone KNOWS that this isn't their best. Like mentioning in the video as "Work in Progress" or something like that.

Agreed. What I was kinda saying is that some of the roads here are terrible. the roads are, curvy, bumpy, two lane, tons of elevation change, and most of all you have almost no visibility because of turns with trees and stuff blocking you vision so you would get in an accident every ten seconds if your going fast. The Hawaii concept would work perfectly for burnout now that you mention it.
The weather is quite nice but it gets super hot and humid this time of the year :x

Following on from a lead I have posted this new TV ad on the site and publsihed it as a feature.
Just checked, in the title you wrote: Adverisement, I changed that to advertisement right away...but the word adverisement is still in the Java thingy...
EDIT: Oh, I see how to change that now...changed it as well!
