You really shouldn't judge the sense of speed or framerate based on the demo. The demo doesn't even run at 30FPS most of the time, it's something they fixed in the final build apparently. Real 30FPS + motion blur looks good. Sub 30FPS + motion blur (which is the case with the demo) looks weird.chespace said:

It's completely fixed. Visually, the demo and the retail game look almost nothing alike. Like two different game engines.

I've played it several times again since you guys have been talking about it and the graphics still haven't impressed me like GTHD or Motorstorm. Maybe part of the unimpressiveness is due to the sterileness of F2 tracks or maybe the final version does look much better. I just expected for a bigger jump from PS2 to PS3. I could easily see why Motorstorm is only running at 30 FPS, but F1:CE just doesn't look good enough to justify a lower framerate. I guess I'll have to rent the retail version to make a final judgement. Perhaps the final version will really look completely different to me as it did to others.

You were the one who told me that people don't have to come here and defend their preferences. Seems to me that's only true with you when those preferences fit in with your own. I won't even put F1 in the top 5 for graphics among next-gen racers and your lol attitude ain't going to change that.

My reaction would be different if your comments weren't so laughable. You said, that beyond lighting and weather effects, this game doesn't look that different than PS2 F1 games. That's obviously not true, everything sports much higher res textures in F1 PS3, and 1 model is as complex as all the grid in PS2 game. And everyone can see that jump in details, except you.Z3F said:
It's different to have an opinion, and it's different to make jokes, usually I laugh at jokes.

Please, an opinion is an opinion. You're just a hypocrite. People that agree with you don't have to defend their opinions but if they don't, you're gonna keep badgering them until they step in line.
I can't lie to myself. GTHD & Motostorm's graphics instantly jump out at me, F1 didn't impress at first sight or after several looks. You mentioned the higher res textures but I've already talked about the higher res. That is a minimum for a jump from one gen to the next so what's the big deal? The game just doesn't look so demanding that they had to run the game at 30fps instead of 60fps. But like I said before, I'm gonna wait for the final version before making a final judgment.
You're being illogical, though (and using an LCD - bleh).Z3F said:
Ignoring the resolution jump, you have...
1) Textures - texture resolution is entirely separate from screen resolution and the textures here are far beyond what the PS2 could handle
2) Geometry - Each car in F1 is composed of a similar number of triangles as the full grid in the PS2 game. The environment is far more detailed as well.
3) In addition to those aspects, they are running all sorts of complex shaders and effects on top of the game that could never have existed on PS2. In addition, the lighting model allows for full shadows to be cast across all cars and structures (including shadows cast upon a cars own body).
There are so many other factors as well (physics, sound processing, etc.). Do those mean nothing? Technically speaking, the game is FAR beyond the PS2 titles. There is no point in arguing about it.
There are many situations where one could make similar comments about PGR3 as well. In various screenshots, the game can be made to look like sh*t. Due to the lighting model in that particular game, the quality of the visuals can vary wildly...but that doesn't take away from what it is actually rendering.

LCDs are great as long as you're using their native resolutions. Plasmas and CRTS are better though for gaming.

Look, I have never argued that the PS3 version looks like the PS2 version. I've just said that the next-gen leap for this game hasn't been as impressive as it has been for some other racers. It's like what people said about NBA Live 06 and NBA 2K6 for the 360. NBA Live 06's jump was much impressive looking than NBA 2k6.
My main point was just that on a platform like the PS3, a game that looks like F1:CE should be running pretty easily at 60FPS. IMO, it doesn't even come close graphically to Motorstorm which is also running at 30FPS.

I know some guys hate motion blur (why I don't understand) but it does help the fact that it's 30 fps.
Ask Alpha.
Rumour: Online limited to 20 Lap Race and the US version apears not to have the PSP Mirror Feature, while the UK version does have it.
How could the Mirrors appear in UK, but not in US version ? I doubt that any developer could do that.
Official Sony F1C Website: "Racing title debuts with PSP connectivity on the PS3"
20 Lap Maximum Online Races ? That seems to eliminate Pitstops.
And, there goes your "Run the Full Championship Online" that Graeme spoke of ....
And, Online was said to Include:
will we have damage ? Yes
pit stops ? Yes
fuel use ? Yes
Qualy ? Yes
I certainly hope these rumours are false.
This cannot be true, IMHO.
