Dass what I'm talkin about!

edit: Links removed because TeamXbox didn't like my direct linking!

Here's the gallery

edit: I think the car models are a bit too 'shiny' and because of that they don't blend in with the environments as well as they should, but other than that this game is just gorgeous!

EDIT 2: VIDEO!!!!

If you read the article at TeamXbox they let you know they actually played the game!

Anything from here on out with "XBox 360" in the thread title should be considered a repost.

Check out the Ghost Recon 360 pics and the NBA2k6 movie. They will make your jaw drop.

Test Drive Unlimited takes place solely in Hawaii, and specifically on the island of Oahu. Mile after mile of highway was mapped to perfectly match what you would see if you were actually traversing one of the most beautiful country sides out there. We?re talking every building, landmark, road sign, and nuance has been mapped to a T for your Test Drive Unlimited experience. A perfectly mapped and executed terrain would mean little if the vehicles weren?t worthy of the road. Not a problem here. Test Drive Unlimited features about 150 cars from in the neighborhood of fifty manufacturers. Along with players such as Ford and Mercedes, there?s the often-omitted Lamborghini lineup; bellissimo! You?ll be able to acquire cars and store them at you garage, or shall we say ?garages?. Yep, you can own and store more high-end metal than Jay Leno in Test Drive Unlimited. Even Jay?s love of two-wheeled vehicles would be sedated in Test Drive Unlimited due to the inclusion of a handful of motorcycles. If you don?t own a car, but want to take one for a spin, you can head down to the appropriate dealer and see how the model of your desire feels. If you like it, you can purchase it, and even spec it out exactly like the actual car can be arranged; if a McLaren SLR has a burlwood dash kit option, you best believe that gamers will be able to purchase said dash kit in Test Drive Unlimited.
Just a tidbit from the article. Combine an entire open island (no set tracks) with Live and custom accessories and its the ultimate overcompensating-man's fantasy--get to cruise around tryin to meet chicks!

For those that don't know, the graphics on this game are

a) Running on alpha kits with two 2.0ghz processors and not the triple 3.2ghz the final machine is running

b) this is a MMO racing game designed for hundreds of people. You can't expect insane graphics for something as large as this. Look at PGR3 screens for that. Now THOSE look rendered.

I mean the shots are pretty cool but it just seem SO much better than the current Xbox. Obviously this will improve as time goes on. Like... the SNES vs the NES big difference, or N64 vs SNES big difference, that's just what I was expecting. Plus there are a lot of jaggies

MSAA anti-aliasing isn't even on, as you can tell from the screenies. Those car models will clean up real nice when that's on I bet.
