Well, when your being chased by 5-0 at 200+ mph, you dont exactly take note of the surroundings

[tweaker]

the environment is a crime, road is a blur, environment graphics are really bad, the textures are like in doom2

Huh??

I think the graphics is very nice. Your brother must be running with low res and/or low settings then.

 

[Filip]

nope, i saw it in your screenshots, take a look at the road, lol, and the freakin trees are so ugly it looks like i painted it

I have to admit the road texture can be ugly at times. At other times it seems fine. You have to remember however that you are moving most of the time and you don't notice much of the textures when your flying through the city . I would also hate to see how the game might run if every single texture was high resolution. The following are a couple of screen shots I took while playing to show that they textures indeed can be poor on the road. Also the sign I noticed in one screen is unreadable but I did not notice it in game. This is still the best looking car racer I've laid eyes on.

Edit:

errr I did not notice that photobucket made my screenshots soooooo small! but It is late right now and I don't believe I'll be fixing that anytime soon. Sorry.

You can make out cracks in the road and textures at high speeds? Can I have your eyes? .

To be honest yea the textures of the road do look kinda bad at times but not in every situation. And I don't believe anyone will notice it much while they are moving at high speed. They could crank up the textures on everything so that the game runs crappy .

Blue sorry if this is off topic but your PM is turned off. Do you by any chance play COD and COD2 on a server called |ES|? Theres a guy named blue there and he always kicks everyones ass.

Have you played the game?

why dont they fix the road graphics and leave the trees and buildings ugly

Because sharp looking threes & buildings are far more important than sharp asphalt when your pushing some serious speed hehe.

Sure the road could look better but it isn't that important in a racing game. What's more important is the ability to have a long & clear viewing distance so that you can see what's coming further ahead on the track, traffic obstacles and such. These kind of games is extremely hard to play with low res and low details because you can't see what's in your way further ahead. It's a fine ballance, the game must be playable without having a stupiditly fast machine.

Also in that specifik screenshot the asphalt looks worse than it really is within the game, because that is a video sequence made with focus on the cars.

Heres some thoughts on the game I think summons up the atmosphere pretty good, quoted from gamespy:

As you roam around -- if you can call blasting through a neighborhood at 175mph "roaming" -- you see that the real star of Most Wanted is the city itself. The developers did a beautiful job crafting an extensive and believable greater metropolitan area. You'll rocket through tollbooths out onto the turnpike, passing woods awash with autumn colors, and then exit onto a busy four-lane highway, barely dodging a semi laden with huge logs. From there, you might zip through the suburbs, pass a commercial area on the way to the towering skyscrapers that mark the busy city center, and then head down to an ocean-side boardwalk.

What's doubly impressive is that all these areas flow together smoothly and realistically, reminding you of real-world places you might have traveled through. The size and detail needed for this illusion come at a cost, though: the game often chugs as it is loading new data.

I can't say I notice to much 'chugging' though.
