It's great to hear that View 2 is being updated. Any chance we could get the Split-Screen race view (over the hood view) included in single-player as well???

In my opinion , it IS the same game , but with an updated graphics engine .. The TM² engine ( I wonder how the other environments (rally, island, etc..) would look like with this new engine)
Sure, some slight changes are noticeable, but that was also the case with TMNF , but it was still the same game.
Maybe some NADEO developer can shed some light on this ?

So, it is say "bye bye" to the new cam2 or?

Maybe that is the right thing to do, but, all work for new cam2 was in vain then. Anyway, i like new cam2.

Please stop fighting

They already did...

Stadium graphical datas are almost the same , injected in the "Canyon" engine (with more than Canyon actually ^_^ : with the Storm engine skies).

Only some textures have been upgraded during the conversion to the new engine (dirt/earth and grass), for technical reasons, but most of them are the original ones. The textures used for the reflections have been adapted to the new engine as well, and their resolution was increased.
The blocks were not modified, except for lighting bugs, in order to avoid gameplay changes, and they haven't been ugraded to HD.
The 3D engine has considerably changed indeed, more realistic lightmap calculation using raytracing or rather radiosity, HDR like lighting effects, "ToneMapping", "Bloom", sky and clouds, chrome effects on cars, and others...

Hope so, i don't mind old cam2, but game just feels faster with new one, will see what will happen.

I love cam 2....its the only one that works on the tracks where the "authors" insist on making bad camera changes.(and there are a lot of those, but if you must insist on putting the old cam 2 back, do make it a cam 4 please. (crap, did I just say "please"? now i know im getting old)

[cz_richie]

also please keep the current cam2... is great as in canyon.
old camera can give as cam4.

It would be a mistake to cancel a current new CAM2.I am about to be on hunger strike for keeping it
