As I already said in my "some wishes" thread:
QuoteI understand it may be not in first priority, but lets face it — graphic wich looks like from ten years ago can make people cry  :'(
Look in the thread "SCREENSHOTS GP BIKES". All of you pissing while looking those beautiful pictures, but 99% of them are totally Photoshopped, much or less. Yeah, tell me more about how you dont need all this "HDR & tuttifrutti". Noone asking about "shiny heavens", just a little improvements like this:

Who will refuse such a picture in GPB?

Reactive, we all know that GPB has no top-notch graphics like other titles, but this is in general not seen as a big problem.

GPB has two pillars: physics and online racing. These will always be the top priorities.

Now if the graphic engine can be improved, then why not. But if we have to drop/delay some other developments (e.g. fix online, improve physics, improve interface, adding physics/racing features) in favor of graphics improvements, then this is not going to be very popular. At the moment, we have other things to sort out.

If you read the entire forum (and also the entire old forum) you will find that very few complaints were made about graphics: that's because the target player for this kind of game does not care a lot about that.

Bottom line: is GPB graphics top-notch ? No.
Is it as bad as you're saying ? No.
Is graphics improvement a top priority ? Unlikely.
Would it be nice to have ? Yes, once the more important stuff is done.

The majority of the players here use GPB to ... well, to ride on the bike, to race.
We surely don't use it to look at bike models and say stuff like "Look how nice is that ambient occlusion !".

MaX.

P.S.
I hate it too that 95% of the screenshots in the screenshot threads are photoshopped.
But just because it's misleading, not because GPB graphics is "bad".

Now, let's talk about that funky physics behind Test Drive Unlimited ...  ::)

As for me, who love to create more then just simple using, who believe in advantage of simbiosis, who didnt ride no one lap online...  Nonetheless I think the main thing for working and improving is those damned netcode and online stability. Online racers are absolutely useless for modding community and for setups in real life  (you may ride a hudreds of kilometers in game, but to learn riding in real life you need a real bike, Im sure its obvious).
Therefore, I support the speech about the netcode. Let those "racers" plays in their sanboxes and not disturb creative guys do the world better. And bring their money  ;D

Seems like I raised very old "PvP vs PvE" problem, when "Player versus Player" asking for action, and at the same time "Player versus Environment" asking for eye candies. Ok, my bad. Anyway, we all trying to do our favourite game better.

Of course those TDU has terrible wooden physic, I have no words to describe how even crappy it was. And it was able to ride only 8 players in same time; server has absolutly random logic, choosing with whom you will ride. But! Hundreds of people spent hundreds of hours on Oahu. Just cruising, or staying somewhere looking on the sunset, or jumping in the mountains. With no music, only sounds of wind, forest, ocean. And that was beautiful. Two sides of one medal, you know  ;)

Ssssuper slowmo!  ;D
Nice, but there's not a lot of technically interesting stuff in that video.

The point of ths thread was to show complex cases where GPB behavior is close to reality.

That one is more appropriate for that topic, for sure (and I love the rider looking backward after the save ... trying to spot the banana on which the bike slipped ?).
