I would go so far to say that the trees in this game look better than those in GT5. There they look like they were printed on cardboard and then cut out. Look closely and you'll see yourself. And that after six years development.

@tubumu I agree

[Psychenzo]

@tubumu so you play the game to look at the trees instead of racing?

[MRSHADOWSXXX33]

@Psychenzo No but he's right...this game had great attention to background details as well as cars and more.

For it to be a DC game it was incredible for it's time...

@MRSHADOWSXXX33 Don't get me wrong GT5 is cool but, this Dreamcast game is close second with GT3 which didn't have car repeats and crappaly updated tracks like GT4 or GT5. skid marks and lines on the road, better walls inside both tunnels.They should have left Trial Mountain alone. besides for an arcade racer this has to be the best. Dude the trees are coll but aside from that the lighting is very similar to that of GT5 Aliasing or not this game is sharper crisper than Forza 2 lighting = gt3

@squirrleydew This game came out over 10 years ago...I don't think any of that matters and honestly it can't be compared to current games, other than how well it played. I think the discussion about it's comparison to GT5 was the fact that this game just showed a lot of details to the backgrounds along with the vehicles. And that's something the Gran Turismo series doesn't do, they focus on the gloss on the cars and the details of the backgrounds are mediocre and blurred...

It's nice to see a good quality vid of this game on Youtube. Watch the Dreamcast push those polygons.

shenmue anybody>??

@TheSegaAges It would've been even more interesting later in to see a 6 car racing game on this engine where all the cars have the same level of detail as player car (with some distance model LOD), the game running at 60fps, and some calculated reflections rather than canned ones. I think it could be done, honestly. Of course, the classic tons of cars flying by at the start of the race thing is still technically impressive for the hardware. And artistically well handled.

One of the best racing games of all time. Many games have tried to do Le Mans but in the end only this one has gotten it right. Excellent, excellent game that, like the Dreamcast, was way ahead of its time.

@Jhonatan5 I regrettably sold my Dreamcast and the 150 odd games I used to own on it. Fortunately alot of those games have been re-released over time in improved form and the rest (including the one's that haven't been done justice) I can play emulated on PC looking better than they ever did on the good old Dreamcast. Some of my fondest gaming memories.

[d2dahaka]

Great game and impressive for the time. The devs had this running at a rock solid 30fps with all those cars on the track. I recall in an interview that the only reason the developers couldn't make it run at 60fps was due to insufficient video memory.

This is just amazing! Dreamcast reached graphics like this, a long time before, after they stop with Dreamcast, i stopped to play in Consoles, and i went to PC, and btw :) i still play DC on my PC.

Shenmue and Zelda OoT Forever <3
