About PS3 and Motorstorm - Graphics

[r2007]

So I went yesterday to a local shop to check on the ps3 machine on display. They are on sale here on the 23rd and every single shop has one demo you can play. A girl was playing Motorstorm and i found the image very crisp and detailed (it was right next to a 360, so you could compare them one on one). The gameplay seems very nice also. Now what dazzles me is that in this quest for more realism, you end up with curious choices. You have detailed motos and players that react independently, and than you have turfs of grass that don't give a s**t to what's going on track. The tires walk right through them as if they were on a fifth dimension. Why? Isn't interaction with the environment one of the most important things? It seemed to me so «in your face» that unnatural behaviour.
