[Stoo]

I think it's just how that particular screenshot is with the lighting

[Nick]

All I've done is resize them and slap the HEXUS.net watermark in there as a layer... nothing else.

[Spunkey]

hmmm i just hope it doesnt have Codemaster's Comedy Brand physics engine like the previous 4 TOCA games. Complete pap all of them.

Looks ok though.

Where's the Antialiasing?

Where's the Antialiasing?

My thoughts exackerly, although the background looks OK.

[schmunk]

It actually looks like PS2 cars and track on a PC/PS3/XBox2 background...

How early in development is it?

Looks disappointing to me...

EDIT: Just seen the Feb 06 release date. Time for some improvements.

[Nick]

Yeah, don't forget early builds most often focus on the game mechanics with the graphics slotted in later. When I previewed Chronicles of Narnia it was pre-Alpha with some parts of the game just big green blocks to represent a hill or a boulder.

There's till plenty of time for the Codies to work on this one.

The beating you could give the cars on TOCA Race Driver was great fun!

Toca race driver, race driver 2 and now three are all poor replacement for the Toca British Touring car games, they are much better I wished they would release another touring car game. I played Toca RD 2 then GTR appeared on the market, now GTR makes RD look like a poor 5 minute arcade racer :/

I think I will wait for someone else to play it see what its like then buy it when it hits bargin basement. Really disappointed with the RD series.

Where's the Antialiasing?

Thats the first thing that i thought as soon as i saw it. I saw some shots (on this forums) that looked much better (not sure what platform) but they looked very dodgy to me. But the crash physics do look great. Good crash physics are very important to me, that why i hate NFS and the GT games. Does anyone rember the first INDY game? It was almost as much fun crashing as it was racing!

I also really hope they don't have a crap story ellement like TOCA 2. I could not stand it.

[Nick]

Umm... Sorry, peeps... had me a abit of a Paint Shop Pro moment.... try having another look at the pics now I've resized them properly....

[iMc]

What did you do to them before?! Looks like a PROPER PC game now

[Nick]

Well for some reason PSP resizer was set to pixel resize not Smart Resize... Dunno why, it was always on Smart Resize before... the kids were playing with it last week though but it's still my fault as I didn't think to check it.

This will be an Xbox buy I think, Codemasters have a habit of using that awful StarForce copy protection which totally screws with my machine.
