Looks borderline real to me.

Here's a nice shot of a car model:

Every time they release new PGR screens they look better and better.

EDIT

That's kinda scary huh.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

No way that's in-game action and not pre-rendered video. I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[Baked]

Most rendered "in game" caps ever.

 

[OdiN]

I don't know what you guys are smoking but that doesn't look real at all. Not saying it's bad, but doesn't look anywhere near real.

 

[kami]

Nope, it is in-game you naysayers. Welcome to next-gen consoles

 

[SSP]

Whoa... haven't seen kami in a long time! Welcome back!

It is just flat tiled textures to make that building, its not that impressive. They are using cam caps instead of drawn textures for buildings, big deal.

Well, believe it. MS doesn't do that whole Sony "It's realtime!" lie thing.

Both PG games had impressive graphics at the time of release... I can't wait for PGR3.

Best senerio right there. X360 probably supports some huge textures and normal maps, so its not hard to put them both on a flat plane and give the appearances of a high quality 3D model.

 

[skace]

The first shot is a direct head-on shot, not even a slight angle to be seen. That is extremely shady. The other 2 shots look like trailer pics. Honestly, I've lost the ability to believe any hype and I refuse to believe next gen will look realistic to every extent.

Yeah, of course, but so what? It matters how it looks, not how its done.

No one is saying this generation is going to produce photo-quality results. That's at least 3 or 4 generations off IMO.

Back away from the xbox demo stand or prepare to get a beat down of your life.

 

[rh71]

h0ly sh!t... is that the Manhattan f'n Bridge ?!

BTW, everything's too ... shiny... a little bit of rustiness here and scratch there would be nice.

 

[Lonyo]

Now let's see it a bit bigger rather thna in a tiny image.

 

[Quixfire]

If that is real time rendered then I am impressed. If not then it's just another attempt by marketing to mislead the consumer.

 

[kami]

Here's some more new shots. not only do the cars look awesome but holy sh!t look at those backgrounds.

More shots...
