We’ve seen plenty of games trying to achieve photographic realism, but how often do we come across attempts to make real life look more like a game? The folks over at Codemasters have done just that, with their latest tie-in video for last month’s racing title Dirt 3.
Shot using a tilt-shift lens, this video of Ken Block whizzing around London’s Battersea Power Station has the appearance of having been miniaturized or computer-generated.
Dirt 3 is currently out on the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
