The Matrix Awakens - Driving and Droning Around - Plus Filters and Moveable Sunlight!
More driving, some crashing, playing with sunlight, filters, that sort of thing.
This is, hands-down, the best looking (if we're talking "real world" environments) game I have ever seen. I watched the Digital Foundry deep dive the other day and saw all the things that you can adjust and had to play it again.
They said that removing the "Matrix" filter made the game as close to real world as they've ever seen, and they were right - it's astonishing. There's also small details - I'm playing a lot of Forza right now, and the trees and rock walls are completely destructible, but on a very unrealistic level. In this demo, however, I discover how tough a small tree really is.
I'm having fun with this, but i do wish there was a little more interaction/story/combat - like you can't hijack a car, you can only steal ones that are parked, and the cops do not care what you do. My only real quibble is that the car camera can't be changed (as in there's no bumper cam, no driver-cam, that sort of thing).
Otherwise, please give us more like this - this is brilliant!
