Someone spotted that the latest video for MOTORM4X, an off-road driving game made using Ogre which is being released commercially imminently, turned up on the front page of GameTrailers.com, which was nice to hear. Here it is, since it’s already been buried:
I think it’s looking very nice - ok it’s not quite GT5 as some of the comments have so eloquently pointed out, but considering both the size of the team and relative budgets involved (I understand they have only one full-time programmer!) I think it’s a fantastic achievement. I’m certainly looking forward to getting my copy!

To put things a little in perspective, I am not actually that impressed by GT5’s visuals (or rather, the GT series in general). Sure, it has a lot of fancy shaders and modern graphical effects, making full use of today’s video hardware, but in terms of art direction the series has always been very bland. In contrast, this game has a great sense of style (and a damage model, go figure!), which counts for a lot in my book.

I think it looks awesome, personally. They’ve done a good job to say what little resources they’ve got.

Damn it, when it will become easy and affordable to put heavy skid marks on any off-road simulator!
Apart from this fact that the cars ’slide’ on the terrain, it looks awesome!

“Someone” spotted, it, eh? I wonder who it was.
