Awesome PGR3 vs Real Life Tokyo comparison pics

I have read of people complaining about the jaggies in PGR3, but for the life of me I can't see them. I'm playing a Plasma screen is it something to do with LCD's or something?

I believe 2 things:

1) The attention to detail on the graphics would be more appreciated if the game didn't had barriers like a Monaco Gran Prix, and featured "point to point" racing similar to "NFS:Most Wanted" and many others of its type.

2) There's a massive difference to images when you take a screenshots using a camera and direct capture. When you take a screenshot using a normal camera, due to the TV and camera lens it makes the screenshot appear more realistic than it actually is. In other cases, most direct captured screenshots end up being slightly doctored, e.g. saturation decrease and colour decrease.


Anyhow, its still a beautiful game but I - like many others - would like to have the sense that you can almost reach out and grab those graphics (not literally) which probably could have been accomplished by point (1).

you reckon? i reckon it looks like crap in digicam pics, and about 3-4 times better in direct captures

Yeah, I think so. Ok, "massive" was the wrong word to use but the difference is noticeable. Check out the pictures below which were obviously taken using a camera but could be mistaken for real life pictures:

Please add more if you wish...

I'm sure you can see my point and when you see the game on your TV set then my point becomes more evident than these screenshots. But, please don't let this dismay you from the game because the graphics are still damn good - I was just making a point about Camera and actual in-game, that's all..

Again, it kind of trips you out when you can look inside the car and see every little detail.

So they spent time and money to model the entirity of the inside of the car purely for people to gawk at in garage mode? wtf...why

Probably your eyes. By far the worst jaggies of any 360 game. I'm not really sure how you could possible not see it. You probably don't notice the lack of AF too (blurry ground).

Ignorance is bliss I guess!

Yusaku, maybe is it is my eyeight, but nope if there are jaggies I haven't notice them, and thats nothing do ignorance its my view on what I see on my Pani PV500. As for blurry road textures I assumed that that is becasue you are doing 170 MPH+ over them, if you stop are they still blurry?. By the way Sardonic, its not quite for garage mode that the insides of the car are rendered because the best way to play PGR3 is from the internal view which in any of the cars is stunning.

This one is retarded though. Very short shutter time, so no blur on cars or tarmac/background. But the rims are still blurred due to Bizarre's lame switching to a blurred texture instead of the rim model :(

trojan, i think they could both pass off as "real" i mean look at fight night 3, its the same thing, on tv it has that effect your trying to describe. i definetly see what you mean tho, much more "realistic" from the digicam because it doesnt hide the videogames faults to a certain extent. but even in direct capture with the right scene you can get a realistic look.





as for jaggiest game on the 360? please refer to RR6. thank ya

I understand what you're saying but you purposely looked out for those deficiencies. In the end when you look at the overall picture at a glance it looks pretty real in comparison to the other shots.

I love the images as much as I love the stoic fanboy digs that have to be added to any praise from certain people.

Yeah, of course. I just love to whine about that, hehe. :(

So I just got this game. Is there any way to reset the advanced camera sliders to their default settings? Aside from restarting the console, I mean.

My friend went to Japan last year and while we were playing PGR3 he couldn't stop saying "OMG, I went there and it's exaclty the same".

We took a picture of the same place we had taken a picture there.

Here is his photo from his trip, and PGR3:

I went to Las Vegas 2 weeks ago, and while racing there I say the same thing. :D

Did Bizarre have to get permission from all the companies that have signs in the real world areas they copied?
Yes, MS did, not Bizarre. Every last one of them. If they did not get the permission then they altered the texture so it does not look exactly the same, but they asked everyone.
That's also why such a game won't be able to happen again in France, where just slightly changing would not be enough, they'd have to change the whole architecture so it looks NOTHING like the original building.

Why are the French such hardasses about this stuff?

wowzers, I can't imagine being the guy who had to walk around to all of these shops to ask for their permission. (or maybe he called)

I don't see the jaggies either. I have played this game on everything from a 60" Hitachi SDTV to a Panny AE700 and Infocus 4805 blown up to eight feet. So, no I don't know what you're talking about. Nevertheless, if you see them, then maybe your eyesight is a) attuned to picking up jaggies; or b) your display has a crappy deinterlacer; or *gasp*, an even crappier comb filter; or c) some combination thereof. :p

Trojan, what the camera sees is what your eyes see in rough terms. If anything, what the camera sees, and then renders, usually looks worse than what one experiences up close and personal. At least that's my experience with this sort of thing.

I don't understand why you bought a 360?!? Because this seems to be your typical feeling for non-Nintendo items.

Really? I assume this is a tenative attempt to coax-out the fanboy that you believe resides inside me...I tend to comment more on Nintendo issues because there is more humour to be extracted from the entire nature of gaming surrounding Nintendo.

Apart form the agreed classics on the SNES (a few on the NES), a handful on N64 titles, and even fewer GC titles...I don't really think there has been a huge amount of software on Nintendo machines that has long-term appeal for me (same goes for every console). I enjoyed plenty of games on many systems for limited periods of time, but if I go back to them now I have little interest in them. I'm not really into handheld gaming at all, although I would like to try PSP and DS to see what the fuss is about.

I am a big fan of a small selection of games, which includes titles like SMK (but hate every addition to the series since) & FZero GX. I did prefer some multi-platform games on the GC because the analogue stick was superior (e.g. for BO2 - I would know because I had all the time-based world records for the game about 18 months ago).

I don't have a 360, but a friend does. I never liked the PGR gameplay mechanics from the offset: I am very much into racing games and very fussy about the controls, speed, and general experience - for me, PGR fails to meet my standards. I also love FPS, but the PC controls have killed my enjoyment of console FPS. It's that simple. The X360 has nothing that I feel compelled to play or that I feel justifies a purchase for me at this moment.

There are a hundred things I could list that I dislike about the X360 and the experience it has provided to date, and as many for any console I've owned or experienced - but why waste the time? And I'm interested in the obvious possibilities of the Revolution controller because it can offer something truely new - if it fails to deliver when the games are shown, then I simply get an extra £200 to myself for the year. No huge loss for me.

I'm only a fan of software I enjoy playing, and hardware (or controllers) that I feel confer a high degree of control. Given my financial state at the moment, I am also particularly aware of the costs of these products and how much they alienate me from experiences I'd be interested in trying...so it pisses me off that someone has spent weeks modelling the brake pedal & cigarette-lighter inside a car when I don't give a shit about it and then I have to indirectly pay the guy's salary.

I must have you confused with someone else. Though that was a good read all the same. What racing games do you like?

edit: I forgot, you mentioned Super Mario Kart and F-Zero. Sorry.

A whole team from MS' legal department worked on this for months. That's why you won't ever see such a 100% realistic game being done by anyone else but a very big publisher. Small teams have enough problems just to get the license for cars.

i used to "complain" about PGR3's jaggies a lot, but when i started playing in progressive instead of interlaced most of them disappeared.
A lot of the jagginess was just the interlacing's fault, are you playing in 720p ?

yep

Yes that is true, but what is the case here with respect to the point that I have made?

From what you said, I took it that you were saying that pictures weren't indicative of what you'll see when you play the game; whereas the direct captures were. I do take your point though, the pics do look better than the direct captures.
