    Looking good. Although I was not a fan of Black Beans previous racing game, this one is looking 10x better. I hope it has at least half way decent phsyics. Either way i’ll pick it up as its another racing game for the stable :)

    What is the muddy brown-green look supposed to simulate? Dirty camera lenses?

    There’s this feeling of being stuck in a dark, old Scandinavian forest on those pics… excuse me, I’ve got to listen to more Viking metal now :sd:

    I think the blurry effect is there to cover up the not-so-good graphics. The screens are shadowed in the edges, so may be in replay mode this “cinematic effect” is even stronger. Still it looks nice and if the physics are decent it may be a fun drive :grin:

    Think it’s to satisfy people who don’t care to buy a color calibrator or to switch their display off any “crystal clear” mode at least. Those people have been complaining about over-saturated colors on their insanely over-saturated displays for so long so games started to put sepia filter above a picture. I always wonder of that mad grass color shown on my big flat TV while I see a football translation and how it gets real if outputted to my color calibrated PC display.
