And for who want to know what the technique is called, its "Self shadowing parallax occlusion mapping" or SSPOM as we refer to it

I'm going to check it out know!

Nice anything more??

Nice to see them improving the engine!

Not that I can see. But could you make a Gif? I don't know how

 

[5taquitos]

Sexy, going to see how noticeable it is after work

Edit: I'm a little confused about the wording, is this currently in the game or planned for an upcoming update?

It's only in that track, apparently.

 

[Pachimari]

Did a new update hit the game? Isn't this for an upcoming update?

[edit]
Just read the tweet. Reads like it were added in the last update.

 

[SgtCobra]

They're called EVOLUTION studios for a reason

Spoiler

Get it? Because the game is evolving? Uh uh?

 

[gogogow]

The new tech in action:

Cool, I'll update the tread.

 

[AgentP]

They must be prepping for another game with the same engine right? Come on Motorstorm!

 

[Chumpion]

This is going to make the weak AF even more noticeable, isn't it?

Did POM ever work with AF anywhere? Let alone this "SSPOM"

 

[0.1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55]

more and more gorgeous

I don't know, probably not, but I was thinking in the lines of "beautiful cobblestones 1 feet out, flat void of nothingness 10 feet out".

EVO are stepping up into tech wizards class

Looks pretty decent in that pic. There is some distance going all the way to the grass.

 

[Max_Po]

These guys have stepped up and I am happy that the game sold 2 Million.

The game is superb.

I keep going back to it and finishing stuff.

I just hope there is a Complete Edition/Season 1 with everything on Disc.

AF works with POM. The only game that I can remember where it didn't work was Crysis, and even then it was possible with a mod.

 

[Stitch]

It was possible in Crysis with a mod.

edit: damn way too late lol

 

[Nyx]

Nice!

Now give us a season 2 pass, I want to throw more money at them!

 

[DirgeExtinction]

Huh. I've heard of POM before, but not SSPOM. Has any other game used it before?

 

[tuxfool]

Huh. I've heard of POM before, but not SSPOM. Has any other game used it before?

Considering that they coined the term SSPOM, their method is probably the first.

Pom with self shadowing, nice! Although, self shadowing pom has been in games for quite some time.

They may have self termed it, but it is not exactly new: cryengine pom has been self shadowing since CE2.

It only did not work with AF in the very first version of CE 2: which was an oversight and not a shader limitation. It works fine in other games: Bioshock 1-2, F.E.A.R., etc, Crysis 2, 3, etc....

 

[thelastword]

Wow those weak consoles....... can do this.

I was waiting to see how they were going to improve the engine, SSPOM and I hope the AF and AA solution is improved too. let's see if they improve textures as well. So much for this is all the consoles can do talk. arguably the most impressive looking game on all platforms continues to make much more than tangible strides in game and in-engine visuals.

 

[Aceofspades]

Making the best looking racer look even nicer. Amazing.

 

[RedAssedApe]

game is so fast though. how am i supposed to notice all these details they put in this game without crashing

 

[thelastword]

EVO are stepping up into tech wizards class

They were always tech wizards. Did you see the WRC games on the PS2? The Motorstorm games was also ahead of the curve on tech as well. Note: the mud deformation in MS1, the jungle setting, water and texture work in part 2, the huge vistas of the first two games, especially the first and the insane effects in Apocalyse. Their sense of speed has always been off the charts in every game they had too. If EVO does make a 60fps game/racer in the future, I suspect it will be even faster than Wipeout or Fzero GX

Photomode!

 

[pottuvoi]

Nice, I wonder how close it is to original POM. (Does it have accurate hit detection etc.)

They did that bundle with the season pass for 20$ and I think they'll stop there.

 

[Cuyejo]

They should really consider on improving AA and texture filtering though.
