I actually think the lens flare in 1080 is really cool -- I only wish it was turned off in 1st person mode (but that's just me being anally retentive). I love the way when the sun is right in the middle of the frame the background goes black due to the luminance correction on the camera -- in other games I've seen it just makes the whole screen go white to simulate maximum glare but 1080 does it perfectly. The rings and hexagons are pretty authentic too, in some games it looks way OTT. When I say I hate the overuse of lens flare I mean that it's become such a cliche now you even get it in footy games etc. where there's just no point. We'll agree to disagree on it's use in 1080 :-) I know what you mean about the board going into the mountain but that's just an effect to make it look like loose snow is getting swept over the board. Somthing else I've noticed is that if you do a stunt while in the air eccess snow is kicked off the board particularly effective in replays from low angles. Nice. One BIG problem with 1080 though is that there is an effective max speed of around 120kph for each boarder, that is attainable on flat ground but doesn't get any higher even on a major downslope. In our potential future snowboarding game I'd make it so you can go so fast you're arse explodes. Jim
