I previously asked @SlipZtrEm whether it would be ok to have a new thread for this, bearing in mind there is already an excellent thread begun by @zzz_pt - make sure to check that other thread out.
If Slip wishes to merge this into the other thread at any point, please feel free.
So, I am going to attach to this thread the photos I made of the scapes on show during the Community Event in London last week as I hope a few people might like to see these.
Apologies in general for any poor framing of these pictures, I did my best
I should say, that the photos of the wall photos of the scapes were taken on an iPhone 4 so not the best quality. The photos of the presentation were taken on my handheld camera. However, the photos as seen were much better and crisper and absolutely stunning to look at.
There were the scapes displayed during the Friday presentation, of which I have photos of most, recorded off-screen.
But there were also scapes on the walls of the corridor as you walked into the event. Initially this corridor was lit by blue light which made photos of the scapes rather difficult, for someone of my limited photography skills. The lighting looked cool and walking along the corridor with the lighting and the scapes on the walls was a really impressive introduction to the event. Great idea. 👍 to whoever thought of that one.
In this first post, I am going to attach the photos I took of the scapes which were positioned on the walls of the corridor. The first photo is, to be frank, the only decent photo that I captured while the blue light was in use. I can attach the other blue photos to a later post, but you won't be missing much till then... You do hopefully get something of an idea of how cool the corridor looked just by looking at this photo of the Nissan GTR in a Las Vegas car park scape:
At the end of the event, the blue lighting was removed and, as we left, there was an opportunity to take photos of the wall photos of the scapes in natural light. Here we have the Mazda MX5 at Monument Valley:
Followed by the now familiar trio of cars at Petronas Towers:
Next up, the Alpine VGT car at Mount Cook (South Island):
And now, the Audi in a Tokyo docks scape:
Next up, back to Monument Valley for the Evo:
And, the Jaguar F Type at Eifel on a misty morning:
The MX5 again at Ponte Umberto I in Rome:
And finally, we return full circle to the Nissan GTR 2017 in the Las Vegas car park scape (minus the blue lighting):
Next up will be my offscreen photos of the scapes shown during the Friday presentation. These will be added to the post below tomorrow night as it is late here in the UK. Please can the mods keep the post below in situe until then, thanks.
Please feel free to comment below on the scapes shown above (and the scapes below in due course), but remember this is not the actual quality of the scapes, the photos shown here are of a significantly lower quality and definition and do not represent what will be available in the game. There are plenty of hi definition photos available to view after the official unveiling on Thursday of last week.
For me, my favourite scape so far has to be one of the Monument Valley scapes largely because I have been to that very spot in 2012:
Though we were not travelling in a Mazda MX5, we were travelling in style in a Buick (ok it was an SUV )
Thanks for viewing these pictures and thanks to all who arranged the Community Event last week and to PD and Sony for allowing us to enjoy the game at this current stage of development. Can't wait to get at the scapes for real when the game is released. 👍
Which of the scapes above, or which you have seen elsewhere, is your favourite so far?
And which locations and scapes do you hope to see included in the final game? With over 1,000 planned for inclusion, there is a good chance you might see it on release!
