Just look at them.

Hope you don't mind, but I fixed the URL, the one you linked to was broken.

Thanks

alright...... those pics are awesome..... but there was one thing that bothered me. in two pics, you see the kid with a gun drawn, and another with a cop with a gun drawn. in one of those pics a random pedestrian is standing outside of a car in the middle of a street. in the other, there is pedestrian getting out of a car in the middle of the street. i hope that when you have a gun drawn, the pedestrians dont get out of their cars...... i hope this isnt what the pics are showing, and i hope the pedestrians speed off instead.

That better not be the final game... everthing looks 2D! wtf this aint ps1! and one of those screen shots is accually a miniture model.

Have to agree with the above post on peds and guns

Wow, good find, although the pics are all strangely distorted, I can see what they mean, if you catch my drift. Wow, that was cheesy

The graphics do look like they're getting worse... could it be because an earlier report said there'd be 20-30 cars onscreen and the latest says 80? Are they compensating for cpu power?

I think its most likely though that its still relatively early, so not all the cars are finished, cause some screens look like D3 completed, others look halfway between 2 and 3 graphics-wise, but thats still an overestimate

:confused: Random and pointless violence is the core of games like this!

The cutscenes look amazing! I cannot obsess myself over this game... But it's going to be great!

[john cena]

Yeah it surely will and I don't really care that much for the graphics. I mean Driver and Driver 2 had bad graphics, but it was so much fun playing those games. And it's good to hear that they're not focusing on the graphics that much instead they are spending some good time on the gameplay, which is a good idea. I mean it's not like the game is going to be very bad just because the graphics are a bit weaker. This has also happened to Resident Evil 4 and yet it's still the best resident evil game so it really shouldn't matter. The player will want to focus more on the gameplay rather than on the graphics.

[matt__jon]

Well, graphics and programming are two different departments, with different people working in them at the same time, so its not like making good graphics is gonna make bad gameplay. Though it could be that they hire a lot of graphics people to get better graphics faster and hire less programmers who make the gameplay.

When early in development, there is usually a lot more work done on the engine and content than graphics itself. So you can certainly expect that this will not represent the final version.

cool picture

[youcan'tseeme]

Wow! I can't wait. It looks like your gonna be able to drive around with people in the car. As the one shows TK leaning out to shot and a man in the passenger side!

[matt__jon]

Its too bad all those pics are distorted.

[#1theman]

Yeah today i'll fix them so they look right. Just watch for them around 12noon (-4GMT)

[edit] Too big for my internet connection. If you guys can just get them all to 1000 by 550 then they look right.

Not only do I seconded that but I also want to say that these are screens, and that there are still essential parts that need to go in, otherwise you get a game full of null zones, and random glitches. Everything needs to be solidified, meaning that the buildings need to be solid. For all we know those, other parts of the city outside those screens could just be null.

You mean the one of the liquor store? That's how Reflections' cutscenes look.

And by "everything looks 2D" I'm guessing you mean "everything looks 2D except for everything, which actually does looks 3D because that's what it really is."

Huh that made some sense.:rolleyes: But 3d is 2d on a tv unless you have a 2d 3d tv screen.

[Driverfool]

My goodness, that longhair in sunglasses looks like Lorenzo Lamas (Reno) from `Renegade`! (Near bottom of page)

[Sedans_is_back]

They're nice pics, Even though I can't seem to get my Internet working TOTALY correct, I still drop by to see stuff.

[Rubix]

Ok, is it strange when I say this game looks crap...?:weird:

Look at the graphics! The look so primitive...

[pirjay]

Some pictures look very nice and smooth, others look really rough.

Eh.
