Some of the team at Playground are from Bizarre, but still it would be nice to see a PGR. That said, if and when FH5 does well they should pitch it hard to MS.
My brother is doing amateur photogrammetry and can digitize portions of his city and it looks amazing. Photogrammetry + Microsoft Bing Satellite imagery a la Flight Sim and you’ve got PGR right there. Easy money. Not to change the topic but rather I’m saying this to point out that my faith in Playground is so strong that I think they can create a new system selling racing IP just like that.
More than all the detail…getting the right lighting, atmospheric scattering (fog), and tone mapping right is what gets you photorealistic visuals and they nailed it. They know that they’re doing. Fable is going to look great. And it doesn’t need to look super realistic, but rather it’ll look cohesive and sensical.
6 months is going to be a long wait after this reveal!
Holy crap, that change to how weather in the seasons affect different parts of the map is unreal! I will absolutely be buying the premium add on for DLC and early access.
On the Iron Lord’s reaction someone mentioned that the Race Labs portion look like Fall Guys and he got me thinking if you can make a racing version of Fall Guys in this that would be incredible.
Watched the gameplay video a couple more times in 4K and just, holy cow. I love Forza, my expectations were already high, and the footage we saw today still demolished those expectations.
