As I was putting the new BRNO review video up on the front page of the site I noticed the stark difference in visual appearance of the two videos. I took each one and opened them in separate windows and then placed each one on a separate screen in full window mode. Both videos were running in 720P 60FPS. While the promo video is using the APEX mod the review video is using the GT3 Mod.
When looking at the two videos side by side it became readily apparent the improvements S397 have made in the graphics department. The promo video was uploaded in November of 2016, the review video just this week. in 2.5 years S397 have made great strides in the graphical quality of the game.
I dont know that you really get a sense of the changes when they occur incrementally, but seeing the two videos definitely reinforced my belief that S397 are doing a good job with rF2. Lets hope the UI and Competition Infrastructure bring about the same kind of positive change.
