  1. ;308200']And, Queen, in response to your final remark, I am by no means abandoning my hopes of TDU2.

     

    Ah ok fair enough, sorry for my aggressive approach, I just wanted to try and clarify a few things. But yeah with the graphics thing, imo, it's meant to be a fun game that can be played on reasonable settings by the majority of the user base as Crysis is a pain in the ass to run for me even with a fairly good graphics card although I think that may be due to it dieing again. (This will be the third bloody time I send it in for RMA and I am not happy...)

     

    But yeah, I will prevent this going offtopic as this is not about Crysis so I will leave it there.

     

    I have to admit, I wasn't too impressed by the trailer. I do disagree with you on the lighting though, I think they have really excelled in that aspect. I'm annoyed they are keeping the 2D plants and grass though as you would think they could make reasonable 3D models at least.

  2. ;308184']Been watching it again (who hasn't?), and I noticed something.

     

    WHY I HATE THE XBOX 360: REASON #143

     

    So, is this what we have to put up with? Because the xBox is five years old, WE, the up-to-date PC users, have to deal with their horrid standards. Just look at all the low-res textures, the simple smoke, the basic lighting, the basic car movement, the basic environment.

     

    Why should a game be built from the start to feature five-year-old graphics? Why not make the game the best it can be first, and, for lack of a better word, "de-tune" it later on? Just look at it:

     

    Our TDU1, with only the nVidia control panel and our up-to-date graphics cards, looks better than that! It looks like... like... the the PS2 version of TDU!

     

    EDIT: Alternate rant - "Check TDU2.com for updates" they say in the trailer. But, um, they haven't even posted that trailer on their site yet.

    Aww cry me a river. The game isn't out for months yet, and there are plenty of games that manage to look substantially better on PC than they do on console so quit your panicking. You come across as the most horrendous PC nerd in that rant, not a good look.

     

    Don't give PC gamers a bad rep.

     

    I really have to agree with Tom here. As much as yeah, it would be nice for the game to look good, however it doesn't need to have the graphics equivilent to bloody Crysis and it's already been mentioned in the article I scanned in. And I quote...

     

    On its left: a road to realism, where Crysis-style visuals could meet a narrower, more conventional racer. On its right: MMO country, where behind the humble looks lives a world of opportunities. The sequel takes the latter - the right road

     

    Also if it looked like that, hardly anybody would be able to run it as I can tell you right now, Crysis is poorly optimised and not designed for the average gamer.

     

    Oh and being a PC Gamer myself as I will admit, I prefer it to the consoles, I can tell you right now that there are various PC Games ported from Xbox 360 games so don't even tell me that the 360 lets it all down, because in actual fact it doesn't. I mean, take a look at Mirrors Edge for example. I didn't really like the graphics on the Xbox so I went and bought it on the PC later on and...Wow...I have to say I was blown away and that was a game ported from the Xbox. Don't pack your bags yet. ;)

  3. I was thinking of going to the London start, but brooklands auto italia is on the same day and that's alot easier to get there and won't be stupidly crowded so might go there.... :)

     

    I say Auto Italia. Brilliant gathering, always some amazing machines there. The Gumball, you can watch on Youtube, it's not that big 'a deal. ;)

  4. Nice to see this topic still alive and kicking.

     

    Splinter Cell : Conviction on PC in a few days...yum! :D

     

    And for all the DRM haters, I don't really give a crap about the DRM issue. I would rather play the game on my computer to get the most out of it graphically rather than settle for it on a console and I could if I wanted to but I am choosing not to. :p

  5. Yesterday :

     

    Ferrari F430 Spyder

    Lotus Exige S

    Not bad for a day to and from college, really. Plus it was bucketing down with rain, quite unusual to see these cars when the sun isn't splitting the pavement!
