How does PD make such great videos in-game

It's interesting how they get all of those sweep shots and nice camera angles. Obviously that has to be done in-game and is not edited (the actual shots themselves, obviously the overlays and stuff are edited). Maybe there is a developer replay mode, or maybe they have a program that reads the replay file? Imagine how much better our gt5 videos would be if we had access to this.
 
Maybe we can hack it ha ha . Ye I agree it would be so much better if we could control the camera views especially for the drift comps, it would make judging a lot easier.

Yeah we need more camera positions. Hopefully they will do it in gt6. Or release a program for video makers to open up replays on computers and have more camera views.

Some nice angles would be
Left/right rear bumper cam (behind the wheel)
Anchor cam (you set whare to view from for flyby's and you can pan left to right
Front fender cam
Door frame cam (above the door frame so you can see the hood and front wheel)
Rollcage cam (you can see the whole interior)

If we had those views gt5 videos would be 100x better.
 
It would have been pre-rendered with set camera pans with the car on set rails.

In other words; it's an animation just made using a game engine so there's no way we can replicate it without the source code unfortunately.
