You just can't resist can you, PD said they used photo's for the background of the grand canyon, me and T5 quoted him and you got you 3d modeller mate who got shown up for not knowing much by a real 3d modeller to argue against that. Using a photo as a texture is easier than making a new texture from scratch and GT4 isn't the first game to do that.

I just got Type 4. like 3 weeks ago. Just wanted to have more free time to play it ( The team i work for, is having major problems with setups. Today was round 3, at Tarumã Racetrack, and we still haven't managed to put both of our cars in the top 10 of 33 cars on the grid ).
When? I'd love to know. You've been owned plenty of times so far, you were adamant that the pics taken from the intro of GT4
was in game, you did say the whole canyon was 3d and you argued you point which was wrong, you thought the pic of the Saleen S7 from the Barber school of motosport was in game when it was a real pic of a GTS Saleen S7. Don't even comment on ownage unless it's directed at yourself, and yes the backgrounds are photo's that are used as background textures and made to fit into the game, so shut up about the freaking graphics because you have a nice record of being wrong.
Thx you so much for proving my point arwin. See those pics look almost as good as the new pics by pd, only one prob, they are dark. And live thought he knew what he was talking about, artOriginally posted by Arwin
Pff. This thread is scary! All this blah blah ... I have prologue, and these screenshots give a decent impression on what it looks like on my tv, ok?
You only get an accurate impression of the game when the snapshot is taken when the image isn't moving. The first picture is taken with the car standing still on the Fuji straight, with the brakes on. The second is in movement, but with the camera keeping the car steady in center. You can see that in the background, the alternate lines of the interlaced picture pull the graphics apart in two directions when capturing.
You don't see this happening on a normal TV because you can only see one set of lines at a time which makes the picture look steady and fluent on a normal TV, which after all only draws 30 full images per second, but makes it look like more by drawing 60 half images per second.
GT4 actually generates 60 full frames per second however, which you can only fully appreciate when you have a HD TV (Progressive Scan) and the game supports it. It is said that GT4 will in fact support progressive scan, and that would mean higher quality images would then be possible. If a capture card supports grabbing such images, a lot better captures can be achieved still.
Nevertheless there are capture cards which better deal with the alternative lines and can pull the image together to make them look better. A card like daan's does a pretty good job at this, I might get something like that again sometime. With the cheap cards, like I have now, it's a matter of timing and making sure you capture an image that doesn't move too much.
They don't, blow thoes up to full screen size and thats what the game looks like (well the game looks a little better, but not as sharp and clean as thoes pics which have been shrunk in size), still good but still even in thoes pics the graphics arn't as sharp as the pics you believe to be ingame.Originally posted by cobragt

First, you say the new pics are art and dont represent the game's ingame graphics, now awrin posts gt4p pics that look close to the so called art pics 
Antde owned you, just move on.
