    I think it's because of rather short focal length (or high FoV if you prefer to call it that) and massive depth of field. Plus color of a scene suggests overcast weather while shadows are sharp and the reflection on window seems to be a sun (overall reflections look weird - too crisp?). This gives that unnatural look IMO

    This picture on Discord is in better resolution and it looks a bit better

    Feels reminiscent of SMS (IB) if I'm honest. Was he part of Simbin?

    GTR3 Discord ceases to exist and Simbin goes into silent mode again

    Meanwhile SMS announce Project Cars 4 as the definitive racing, flight and hand to hand combat simulator.

    It's a joke. It's kinda sad when you realize that the future of RR is (probably) in the same hands...

    Prediction: What remains of the GTR3 project will be the foundation for a new graphics engine for RRRE. Possibly more changes.

    The difference being that R3E is already a well established sim with a good reputation and an excellent development team. That goes a long way when negotiating licenses and other things. It's far harder to get a project off the ground than it is to maintain it. Also, just because RaceRoom is part of the same group doesn't mean it's being actively run by the exact same person/people with the exact same policies and plans.

    Yes, this is the "possibly more changes" in my prediction. Motorsport Games...
    I really have no idea but I hope not. I'm fine with the current situation.

    Edit: spelling...

    Yes, and the fact that they closed the discord it's a sign that someone is trying to organize and focus this, good news, not bad.

    i just think our ruling lizard people have seen the need for a change ; that combined with the Qnon buy out of Haribo ; and a slight easterly wind under the constellation of orion ; bringing together these events ; it was inevitable

    I will post here since RaceDepartment can be a toxic environment. No surprises at all. When the discord announcement came I was one of those to say it means nothing, anyone can open a discord channel and got heat for that. They did that with nothing to show us and no info about their progress with the game to share, they claimed to be for real this time but now this again....... Sorry this has gone far too long and has hurt whatever credibility they had. "Time to reset and go again"........ That sounds very scary. What have these people being doing all these years. By now we could have got GTR2 Remastered with dx11/12 support and the sim community would mod the crap out of it.

    And by modding the crap out of it aall efforts would have crahed and burned ,my guess is and its really a guess..... look at this as a bad management desicion , and the money didnt agree.... restructuring will take place , after that we will see

    But that's the thing, from the outside, there's nothing else to look at apart from a long series of bad management decisions...

    They've just decided instead of spreading the workforce to produce 2 driving games in an already well populated genre, to become as one and make one decent, good looking, highly featured racing Sim or in other words, Raceroom out of beta. :D

    There's nothing official about that info.
