@ mobiletone, I’m afraid I have to agree with Obli here, the second part of that video definitely looks in game, it’s just some of it is shot from better angles. The demo is early code and a dull level to start with.

The first trailer for MS2 was a CGI render like the original MS trailer, you can tell as things happen that wouldn’t in the game (like the woman on the bike getting on her hands and knees and ducking when a monster truck flies over her head), however in this trailer it all happens as it should - lifeless rag-doll physics for the fallen bikers etc.

I can normally spot a CGI - and that looks ingame to me.

Maybe you’re just under-estimating it? I under estimated Resistance 2, when I thought the opening to this level was CGI too, but it turns out it’s all in-game footage:

@ Obli - i beg to differ, they are using the same tricks as they did in the first motorstorm. rendered in real-time with the game engine? i doubt that very much. it’ll be stuff they use for the cuts etc just like the first game, target footage spliced into the game to make it look as if it’s rendered.

you can borrow my demo of MS 2 if you’d like to compare actual in game and target footage

IMHO the new game does nothing that the old one didn’t, except split screen.

@ mobiletone - I understand what you’re saying. I agree, I’d like to see real gameplay footage too. The first half of that video is pre-rendered but the last half is footage rendered in real-time with the game engine, albeit with fancy camera angles!

@ Obli - i can’t see anywhere in that video that isn’t cut scene footage etc. there isn’t a single second of real time racing taking place. the demo felt very much like a let down.

I hear what you’re saying but that is not pre-rendered. That is rendered in real time.

Only got that damn MudPlugger race on Level 3 to go before I finish MS1. Then I’ll be ready for the some sandy beaches and lava flows.
