Race Driver: GRID Engine Pimped By Raytracer

Codemasters just informed via press release that they start a cooperation with RTT, a company that develops 3D visualization software for e.g. the automobile industry. Part of deal is to pimp the Ego game engine that powers Race driver: GRID.

While it's not very likely that GRID will benefit from the deal, future Ego-Engine driving games could look way better than GRID already does. German site PCGH.de shows the potential graphics wise in comparing current ingame/tech shots from Grid with actual automobile pics done with the raytracer from RTT.

ROFL, no it looks better... I wish it had a wireframe...but it looks similar in poly count and raytrace lighting will smash anything previously in racers.

Thats assuming they've found a decent engine that can push any form of "true" raytracing.

I'll back you up. Grid looks good, but if you see it in motion it looks a lot like DirT which was awesome, but not as good as GranTurismo.

ROFL, GT5 is a joke compared to Grid on the PC.

Why do people beat the GT5 prolouge = the most sublime racing visuals.

Quite frankly, apart fromt the car models they are lacking...

Its no surprise as the reasources do seem like eggs in one basket.

Well being Codemasters has the exclusive rights to F1..they better not ***** it up!!!!
