Not having much time this morning to give you a visual breakdown of this fun little picture set, your A) absolutely daft if you think this reflects the actual in-game texture quality on the track (you know for a fact it doesn't, old chum. You have actually taken these cars on the track before, right?
), B) the angular wheelwell is still very apparrent, c) you asked for differences between the two pics, and I gave you more than enough to chew on (smoother curves, fully modelled panels and doors, etc), blurred textured wheelrims notwithstanding :lol But, then again, using blurry deinterlaced pics of showroom models captured off of Analog is WAY comparable to 720 p framebuffer captures (because the former totally doesn't obscure the very lines and edges you're struggling to compare)--but hey, it's hard to be observant while you're rolling your eyes, LOLAMIRITE?
I'm totally happy to debate these issues as long as you can force yourself stay civil about it.
See you this afternoon
