First it would really be nice to see more options for the Graphics other than the 4 available ones. Anyways...
Pros:
-HDR shifts relatively nicely especially how shadows change darkness and brightness shifts in clouds.
-Cars are beautifully rendered and have some nice blinn shaders and good reflections.
-Buildings in the middle LOD look amazing
-Textures close to vehicle are sharp (1024x1024?)
-Production Quality Radial Motion Blur
-AI cars are very detailed and almost as nice as the drivers car.
-Island feels very open and large to explore
Cons:
-HDR errors on white surfaces that often turn the shader into a matte white.
-Textures are low for a PC title and are very noticable when the car is moving at low speeds or stopped.
-Water looks flat
-Color seems fairly bleached while lights and darks are highly contrasted
-Facial animations are off and also not fully rigged
-Trees seem a little off.
-almost no anisotropic filtering
Would be great if some depth mapping would be used (bump, normal, parallax) Not sure if it is used or not but if it is it isn't being used very efficiently.
