Stanzo, Fastson, lets not cry... TOCA...

Yeah, i\'m with bob on this one
these are some of the worst caps i\'ve seen in recent months

A quote from a review of the game

"The game\'s slick graphics engine is capable of tossing around 14 hyper detailed cars on screen at once.  The tracks are easily recognisable, which is superb.  With animated drivers inside and all panels capable of being crushed,  or torn clean off, each car looks fantastic but this detail does come at a price.  Throwing so many polygons onto the cars does mean that the background graphics arent quite up to scratch with the likes of Gran Turismo 3 ad World Rally Championship.  It does of course, mea that you\'ll be too busy gawking at the sexy v8\'s to notice anyway"

Graphics - Great looking cars that you can break ~ 08

PSX game my ass...

Yes, sure there bad caps, but c\'mon. I really, really, really hope that I am completley wrong with this one, but the screens Codies keep giving out look too good to be true.

[Bobs_Hardware]

Of course they are too good to be true.  Unless they are direct caps from a game they arent going to look that good no matter what console it comes on.  The game still looks great.  Stop being a weiner.

Hehe, ok Bob, you\'ve convinced me. I am gonna make judgement when I play. But those EB vids do look mighty fine.

It\'s cool to know that i wasnt off the mark with my last post. Yep, those captures are poor, but you can still see
the difference in background detail and textures. i knew i was putting my neck out but i think it was worth it.
just heard that the latest build of CMR3 has really bad slowdown.. Why can\'t these types of game be made by
decent devs. i mean, Codemasters have got a vision but they just cant deliver on a technical scale.
Man, go get some new coders and then hopefully half your games would run well.

here\'s those better grabs i posted again to show how the finished version looks.





These are the best indication of the final version..

Thanks for the grabs Racer, it would have still been cool if i was wrong. i wouldn\'t have minded
as we would have all been playing a better version.

StAnZo.

I am still hopeing that we are BOTH wrong.

And for the first time, I am hopeing that Bob is right.

Craptacular captures..

I talked to my friend who has the demo.. He says the graphics are really nice.

Those screens use a different (inferior) capturing method.

Im going to wait and play the demo for myself.

[Bobs_Hardware]

Those screens Stanzo posted are quite accurate as to what the game will looks like (possibly a little better tho)

[GmanJoe]

I want this game.

If the physics model and game engine are great, I\'ll buy this game... even with the jaggy graphics.  I would like to find something more realistic than GT3.

[Kurt Angle]

It can\'t be that bad, all reviews I\'ve seen have been very positive. I know I will be buying it.

Personally, i\'m still going to pick it up and as i said before in another thread,
"if they sorted out the slowdown then i cant ask for much more"

I dont have a problem at all with the PS2 version, it\'s just the shots that Codemasters have been showing
and sending to websites everywhere were not infact PS2 screenshots. they were definatly doctored images.
Esp when you consider the ps2 replay consoles in the lower left corner of the screen.

as i said.. i\'m still going to pick this up. as long as i get the same enjoyment out of it as i did Toca 1&2
then i\'ll be a appy man. but Codemasters seriously need to be told about these images.
i mean, isn\'t it against the law.. you know... false advertising or something.
