Graphically, i'm rather unimpressed. The car models are bland, and the grass
textures are simply fake looking. I was hoping for next gen graphics but got
2003 era ones instead.
When are we going to see photo realistic graphics? Most grass textures i
have seen so far look nothing like real grass. Even the asphalt looks like a
grey texture with random black dots.

Did you click on the thumbnails ? ;)
Is Bob Loblaw your name real ? If so, do people call you Blob ?
Sorry in advance. I'm a*** !

Unfortunately, the shots would attest to little more than a slightly
warmed over N2003 engine (and we know how little it loved the polys).
They may impress some with their gadgets, but for me the circuits are
less impressive than those in GTR/GTL, graphically; the***pits pale
into insignificance by comparison, and I would hazard a bet that the
physics engine uses spline based environment contact logic making the
whole experience less involving that what we have become accustomed to.
In short, I'm disappointed.

Would you consider this this 'fact' or 'speculation'?

What's this mean? Accustome to what?
Have you been able to test this yet?

I used my ocular senses to focus on the images presented to me. I see
the same DX 8.1 lighting, look and ambience I saw in N2003, with mildly
warmed over textures. It's a particular skill, this 'looking at an
image' thing, a skill that I have mastered.
'Would you consider this this 'fact' or 'speculation'? '
Dear darling Niles.
Please attempt to cogitate on the phrase 'hazard a bet'. You may then
be enlightened as to its place in your endearing little dichotomy, so
harshly imposed.
' > whole experience less involving that what we have become accustomed
to.
What's this mean? Accustome to what?'
Sorry Niley, you've became incoherent.
'Have you been able to test this yet? '
Ohh... well, give me a minute........ Yes, after a thorough self
analysis, I'm most categorically disappointed.
Well I'm not expecting photorealism but I agree those shots look bland.
Textures are very low res and it looks like it using Direct X 6 judging by
the lighting.
Like taking Nature Photo's with a 1MP camera :)
