Them PS2 shots real? The game sure dont look like that when I have played it? lol
Basically you explore the universe, with every galaxy, star, planet and moon modeled in awesome detail like those shots^
Space Engine site
downsized
said this before whats the point of high res screenshots then people downsizing to give better appearance . kinda ruins the whole point . also some in here even tweak with ps lol

I'm not sure what I think of those far cry shots, it looks alright in some but others look quite poor. The planetside ones are gorgeous, wish I could play the game looking like that haha
That its how I feel when playing the game. It is without doubt one of the best looking games ever made imo, but I don't know if it is to do with lighting, but during the middle of the day it just occasionally looks a bit off to me. Sunrise/sunset are incredibly beautiful!
Show me an image host that wont compress a 2560x1440 image into a really poor quality grainy jpeg?downsized

Because when i save a 20mb bmp file into a jpg it looks okay but then it gets put through imgur or imageshacks optimisation and they look all messed up with some wierd film gain/pixelisation like this
I mean look at the wall behind the cars, wtf is all that noise ? its certainly not on the original image and neither is all the other mess added to the image from compression
The road also looks like a wierd low res texture but on the original screenshot its a highly detailed high resolution looking road
It looks horrible compared to the original image
I'll try and upload a video on youtube in 2560x1440 res and see if the compression on their kills the picture quality or not so you can see almost how the game should be looking

Ok even youtube compressed videos look better than the crappy jpeg compression the image sites force
It looks exactly the same when your driving as it does in the replays as I show with the "free cam" here I even drive the car in freecam and operate the headlights just to show there is no trickery and nothing changes other than the UI disapearing
You cant tell me for a game thats still classed as ALPHA and almost a year from release it doesnt look atleast as good as the down sampled shots I posted? if anything it looks better because you can see how awesome the lighting and shaders are.
watch in "original" quality for
2560x1440
fraps killed my fps though I was getting between 20-25fps whilst I was filming.
Also theres a fan made trailer someone made that shows the car model are exactly as you see them in replays.
He's just used the "free cam" just like I do when I take screenshots
Nothing is fake or from a glorified photo mode, PC's dont need photo mode they can do it all in real time as your playing.

it does always look better smaller though
not saying that to be piccy its true
cars is pretty nice looking but 99.9 percent post the ingame cam not actual racing which looks nowhere near as nice (look at your pic and why i said to post ingame race picture)
you dont race in after race cam so its a bit of a false sale of the game
i get the compresion with bmp and so on but jpeg dont right should still look pretty good
goto anygame where it shows a video pre rendered kinda scene does it always look better ? = yes .
dont want to knock it too much though as it is nice looking

there is no after race cam the only thing the replay adds if the DOF effect but you can manually turn it on when your racing if you want , theres no FPS loss with it but the game looks kinda messed up when everywhere is blury.
If you watched the first vid I posted you would see everything looks exactly the same as your playing , when I enter freecam nothing changes apart from the UI disappearing and the camera not being locked to the car.
Even when the camera is locked to the car and I rotate the camera you can see the car model and reflections are exactly the same as they are in freecam.

i understand what you saying but you downsized the pic from 2500 to 1280x720 thats why your others look nice and the full size look ordinary
any game even bad looking games look good when done like this
like the planetside 2 shots . thats why its done . some dont know that or maybe miss it. this may trick people into buying it which i dont think is fair.
i play cars i know what it looks like racing it i played it for quite a while now

they look ordinary because of the stupid amount of compression added.i understand what you saying but you downsized the pic from 2500 to 1280x720
how come the full quality video even with the blocky artifacts looks better than the screenshot does then? you cant tell me all that grain and distortions are actually part of the game unless you are smoking crack
all downsizing an image does it make it look like it has a lot of AA applied as it eliminates the jaggies.
I will try and find somewhere that will hapilly host a jpeg without adding its own compression to limit the file size.
