RR7 looks more or less the same as RR6 on X360.

Really, neither RR6 nor RR7 seem like much of a leap beyond RR5 on PS2
which came out over 6 years ago in Japan, and was actually pretty much
completed in 1999.

still, as long as its 60fps, I will be getting RR7 because I love the
series for the most part.

btw, have a look at these screens from the 11-year old
arcade Rave Racer, the third game in the Ridge Racer series:

for 11 years ago, the texture-mapping does not look much worse, IMO,
than the current RR games, even the latest one on PS3.

Look at this picture you posted:

All that detailed architecture and foliage - for what!?  You'll never
see it from the road.  It's like they're grasping at straws to use up
polygons in any way possible.

Enough with the screenshots, I think I'd rather see realistic damage
modeling, more open-ended environments, and... I don't know what else.
It's hard for me to think of a reason to spend $60 on another driving game.

And quit crossposting LOSER...
