The terrain looks good, but the cyclists look poor

Its a whole bunch of Jan Ullrichs! Theyre all fat!

terrain looks awesome, much better than 07

stop flaming Ullrich!

@sporting: No they just look normal now.

They look more real now!

Who the hell is it on the frontpage? Cyanide gotta learn how to draw people xD

the left gerolsteiner guy is probably Rebbelin, the rest, cant tell

The yellow is Boonen i think?

There's no 'one texture per rider option', as mentioned previously. All riders from the same team wear the same back number.

The guy completely out of its left looks kinda like Soler, and its also the 2007 Barloworld jersey. Allthough i cant see why he should be sprinting.

And what the heck has Cyanide been doing? The graphics actually look good!

Also: Look! PC-DVD! They have abandoned the CD, rejoice!

Looks great!

I found the picture of the cover:

Thats a pretty close match.

pretty close match??? it's it! maybe not the same picture, but it is the same sprint and stage: the tour de france in Gent.

The only inaccuracy is the Gerolsteiner rider. Haussler finished 8th in that stage but was on the other side of the road

Some of the riders are still wearing Saunier Duval gloves, obviously Saunier is the default team this year, not cofidis... B)

Im liking the look of it, the terrian is looking very good.

Looks awesome, can't wait to see what the tracks look like

and if they actually give them track bikes. First thing I'm going to do once there's an editor is add loads of track cyclists, teams and eventsB)

you're all looking at the far terrain. notice the nearer one. It doesn't look good.

I'll reserve judgement until I see some vegetation, rivers, houses, etc.

and remember: these pictures are chosen carefully so that they show the BEST that the game can possibly look. most of the time and from most angles, it'll look worse.

Still the near terrain looks better than World of Warcraft

*shudder*

I just uninstalled CyM4 to make room for WoW...

Please tell me that's not the helmet they're using???? Good grief...It looks like a mail box. Bikes are looking a lot better. Seems they even managed to fashion in brake cables. Still only 1 bottle/bidon. They can add brake cables but they cant add another bottle cage to make it more realistic. 3D Wheels. Thanks Miya!!!! Mountains look a lot better than the triangles they've had in the past. I guess. Im not a fan of the cycling shoes they've used. They look more like tennis shoes. Look at the front cover and then look at the ingame images. If only they could mirror whats on the cover with whats in the actual game. In most games, the front cover is actually the mirror of the contents. Not in this case. Here's to hoping they include 1 texture per rider this year, the some of this can be modified. Im in two mind. I dont really know if this is an improvement or not....

Notice the Lampre rider with Rabobank gloves and socks

yes well I dont think it was a realistic simulation. They just threw accessories in the team folder and just ran it as is...

Not every team uses sloping frames. Here's to hoping one day theres a choice of frame styles

If they'd implemented a lot of these kinds of changes a few years ago. For the betterment of the game and its development they should've. Imagine where it would be today...

it looks like all the riders are on Cervelo bikes as well. Kind of cool that bike graphics will make it into this year's version.

i hope that my pc will be able to run pcm2008
