PotW: Week 14 Entry

[Baltoman]

That didn't stop you before :cool::p

 

Yes but before I didnt know how fun you guys were and how all of us together make a strange family :o:p

[Iced_Bullet]

Isn't that not off road since that's on an Airport road which would be considered on a road.

No ... runway is a runway and a road a road. Different things :p

 

Shadow, that picture is damn fine! :D

[eleKtro]

I agree, nice picture Shadow.

[Iced_Bullet]

If it wins, I hope diablo photoshops some guns and the bond mods in :p that'd be cool! :D

[ShadowGT]

Yeah thanks guys! although now that i think about it i wish i had of turned the contrast up it's too dark on the cars :(

[Speed]

You could still do that in photoshop you know, Brightness and Contrast changing is fine :)

[ShadowGT]

I did. That was the best i could get it without ruining my picture with over brightnes or too much contrast.

[Baltoman]

 

Let's hope mine's as good as 007s ;) And yes, it is off road, don't get picky.

You know something? Atari made the map of Hawaii out of Satalite pics, made the roads out of GPS pics, made 10000 cars and 10 bikes, made it UNLIMITED as you can go anywhere you want without hitting invisible walls but you see theres something Ive been noticing... They didnt bother in making a good looking sea. I mean com'on look at the water, its looks more like a sea filled with magical goo, or a second sky. Sure the color of the water is the Sky's reflection but its not supposed to be another sky or magic goo.

HAve you noticed in TDU, you can go anywhere with out loading? You load the game once, and thats it you can drive on every road with out loading?

 

This is because there isn't anything to render or load. The terrain itself it isn't very detailed, buildings, AI cars, water etc.. unlike games such as Elder Scrolls Oblivion where everything is very HQ (High Quality) with lots of things to render/load, there are certain parts on the map you have to wait and load to enter.

 

Now this would be rather irritaitng having to wait 1 minute to load a part of the map.

;51912']Okay, here's mine. Bullit Understeering. :p Probably won't win, but...

Few things wrong ...

 

Firstly, Car Freak's theme is for the car to be offroad, and we must be able to see it is moving, so capture the dirt thrown up or something similar.

Now the pavment could be classed as offroad, but there is no dirt or smoke. So that is wrong.

OR (If you're not too smart)

A car offroading in the sunset.

 

Btw, my normal rules apply, 800x600 Maximum Size, unnoticable photoshopping is fine, but if someone picks up on it, and I agree, then sorry but you must withdraw the photo in question :)

and yours is too big.

 

Is it me or do people still not realise that the dimensions are the same each week. We always seem to get 2 or 3 people not read what they're signing up to ... it is actually starting to annoy me.

okay... so? whatz ya point?

[hesonly5]

If you had higher quality water/roads/grass/AI/etc you'd have lots more loading screens. Hence the fact the water isn't that great.

 

Personally, I don't think it really matters, you're not in it a lot, so why bother making it look good? Plus, it doesn't look bad from far away.

[eleKtro]

okay... so? whatz ya point?

 

Don't be an arse. Simply saying that because TDU is designed the way it is you can drive anywhere with out loading screens inbetween.

 

Take the TDU map for instance, put a grid with 1" area blocks over the map, now your inside 1 block and everytime you go out of that block into a new block you would have a loading screen that's kind of how it works. Would that annoy you on TDU? Would get on my nerves pretty fast.

[Baltoman]

Oh yes I know that but Im just saying... Water= Magic goo

[Eudemon]

Remember TDU was Eden's first go on next gen platforms and the PC has been ported over, it is also using the old game engine that they have now improved for AiTD so I think we can probably expect a small step up in certain areas but bare in mind if they do support us and implement night and day as well as weather then would it be so bad that certain areas look the same currently if the gameplay surpasses the original? :D

 

For many people; Gameplay > Graphics

Right after that, the jag spins, and he passes, then Bond's in front for the rest of the chase.

 

Also, I'll edit my picture.

 

EDIT: Someone doesn't like my Ferrari 288 GTO banner thing... :(:p

LOL i was gonna do it the other way around but my Jag driver isnt exactly too good behind the wheel lol so we found it better if i chased him. I'll post some other pics we took though.

I would've gone with the third or fourth over from the left. The buildings in the back of the fourth over from left remind me of the ice castle, though... Awesome pics. :)

[zo6dude]

looking at all these pics is awesome there so cool , creative, and beautiful

[Baltoman]

Shadow, you should tell the jag driver to make his car a convert and install a machine gun, oh and ask Atari if they can make an icy part of Hawaii
