Looks real nice. Is this a PSN game or is that just a note on when the demo will be out?

Edit: the characters look like they're from Grandia or something.

Trees must be really hard to do in games–every game has shitty trees.

I think Sony forced Polyphony at point blank to reveal their secrets of lighting to the rest of Sony internal.

I dunno. I don't think they mixed the realism/anime look quite right, so the people look a bit creepy to me. :lol

Probably using that Speed Tree or w/e it is that Sony licensed. I think they look pretty good, though.

Pretty scary-looking shit...and not in a particularly good way. They need to either lose the realistic look or lose the anime dolls.

It looks a hell of a lot better than it did at TGS when it was a jaggy PS2 game in disguise as a PS3 title.

Looks...playable now.

Nice Character models + lighting, but the environments need work. Not the old shot of the whole course but in the normal shots.

So if I'm reading the translation right, Sony is putting out a free demo of this in Japan on the PSN from March 21st to May 7. And then a full release will hit in July...

Someone who can read Japanese confirm this?

That would be the first time a demo has been pulled from the PSN, right? The only demo I know that has been removed from XBLM was Table Tennis because they though people were playing it and not buying the game because the demo had "enough".

Looks at those pants. It even takes into account discoloration in patches. And some of those high environment shots look real. Huge turnaround since the last time we saw this game.
