I grabbed some 1080p clips from Autosport (XBox) and the difference between them and ingame footage was noticeably worse. It would be helpful if Codemasters could post some 4k screenshots of the offending areas to (hopefully) put some minds at rest.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grid AS had dynamic shadows... @ChrisGrovesMCM I really would be interested in a Dev Blog about the Ego engine version they use for Grid, whats updated and better compared to the version from Grid AS and why are there some downgrades 🙂 Something like the 31!! pages about the grass tech from Grid AS ^^ Maybe not only about the Ego engine in Grid but about the Ego engine in general... How it evolved over the decade its used ect. That would be awesome 🙂 Rendering-Fields-of-Grass-using-DirectX11-in-GRID-Autosport.pdf Do you have any examples of the dynamic shadows from GRID Autosport? In Forza 7 headlights generate shadows from other cars: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ak1504 263 Posted September 26, 2019 Only the player car headlights generate shadows in Forza... Grid AS headlights don´t generate shadows from other cars but from trackside objects... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cpcdem 31 Posted September 27, 2019 4 hours ago, jesped said: And horrible LOD switch and ugly and cartoony trees even with maxed out Ultra settings on PC: Not all trees look like that though, it's specific ones. And they "fix" when they come a little closer to the camera. Indeed that LOD switch looks ugly in several cases, but I am pretty sure this is fixable, and it's not like it requires a lot of dev team to adjust it. Also it seems the problem is only in 2-3 tracks, while others look great, in any conditions really. So it does not look as a general game problem to me, but something that can be improved. Very good to hear that devs took notice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lastbreath 466 Posted September 29, 2019 New video from Shirrako Looks like Barcelona track has some new routes and... utterly bad lightning (31:46 as example) Last game I remember with such lightning was Driver SF (2010 or 2011). And even then it was already outdated and bad. PS. Career second race. A spectacular crash on the track. I was like: WOW, SHADOWS ON SMOKE!!! And literally next scene and... shadows are gone 😄 Also look how bad shadows are at the right side of the car. LOD is at the rear wheel 😄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jesped 251 Posted September 29, 2019 Was about to post the same video. Rain effect on windshield looks very pixelated too: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lastbreath 466 Posted September 29, 2019 It's unbeliveable how better visuals are in F1 2019. The same developer, the same year, but visuals are drastically better! Natural trees, normal lightning... What could go wrong... I even don't want to mention that with so small amount of tracks career will be very repeptitve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jesped 251 Posted September 29, 2019 For the people that were protesting the blurryness of the low quality YT videos, the problems are much more noticeable in better quality. Check the horrible transparency pattern in the trees now: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jesped 251 Posted September 29, 2019 I just don't get GRID's team priorities... They put dozens/hundreds of detailed 3D crowds on the side of tracks: With a pretty high level of detail (and I don't see any noticeable LOD switch like in trees and shadows): Which from previous Codemasters games we know are a big resource hog. Wouldn't it make much more sense to have less and simpler crowds and spend that CPU/GPU power in having real reflections, dynamic shadows, better quality in lighting and shadows, better LOD distance for trees and shadows, ... instead ??? 🤷♂️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really astounding... 👀 I mean... it just features every single point we've been making in this thread so far. Same company. Same engine ffs... Natural lighting, colors, contrast, ... Trees are detailed with visible individual leafs and no horrible LOD jumps: Amazing wet asphalt with Real reflections: And these captures are from F1 2019 on consoles, they're not even PC Ultra... 🤦♂️ This is really shameful in comparision: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cpcdem 31 Posted September 29, 2019 I did see some realistic wet road reflections in other videos though, so possibly this strange reflection next to the Porsche is just a bug... Let's see what we get in a few days on release, I wouldn't be surprised if the problematic trees will have been fixed in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All I've seen so far are static cubemaps that doesn't match the environment and car lights. Neither the cars nor the scenery are reflected in the road. It's all fake and it shows. A lot.

I would love to be wrong but honestly, I think what we are seeing is final and we're not going to see any changes at all. Maybe the Eye Adaptation/Automatic Exposure problem that makes some areas so dark gets fixed, as that would be easy, but I honestly don't think any of the other problems are going to get fixed, improved or implemented, specially real reflections at this point. Youtubers are playing the full game with Review codes, making a lot of content for promotion... really, it's not like it's gonna change into something much better at this point.

_BorisTheFrog_ 298 Posted September 30, 2019 After looking at Autosport's similar trees as well as near identical trackside assets in exactly the same place (the van parked behind the barriers of the sharp right hand turn at the top of the hill (turn 2?) at Brands Hatch and self same van that appears multiple times on multiple circuits to name but one) as those in Grid 2019 it's kinda looking like the bulk of the locations are just HD updates of the originals - something that would probably go a long way to explain why the game doesn't look like it's spent too long in development.

lastbreath 466 Posted September 30, 2019 They'd better use old assets for trees )) But this is really cool statement. It explains why NEW chinese tracks look way better. But! We also have new Cuban track and it is overcontrasted. I really can't find logic in all that bs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
