Disney shows off Cars' interactive features in trailer

by Darren Murph posted Aug 18th 2007 at 1:56AM

Those patiently awaiting November 6th can now tide themselves over a bit, as Disney has released a trailer that actually shows off some of the much-anticipated bonus features that will reside on the Cars Blu-ray disc. The well-detailed "Car Finder" game (pictured above) purportedly enables viewers to "search for over 200 models of cars hidden throughout the movie and even race the clock to find a specific car in a frozen frame of film." Also shown is the "Cine-Explore" mode, where you'll be treated to a making-the-movie walkthrough with John Lasseter. Go on, hit the read link to give it a look yourself.

Judging from the footage that appears in the trailer, the "Cine-Explore" function looks similar to the "In-Movie Experience" picture-in-picture video commentaries common to the HD DVD format, making 'Cars' among the first announced titles to replicate this much sought-after feature on Blu-ray.

They forgot to mention that this feature won't work on any of the existing player or players sold before end of this year, unless you have $2000 Denon Blu-Ray player. And it's actually questionable whether or not it will work on PS3 as I still haven't heard that PS3 will get Profile 1.1 firmware update.

Well if this one works "as well as" Pirates of The Carribean Liar's Dice, blocking a player for a few minutes, then constantly looping and freezing, then thanks but I'll pass.

Hey,

Xyzzy and Nfinity are you the same guy????

You both are such haters never anything positive to say unless its about your
HD-DVD player.

Are you just mad because HD-DVD doesn't have the headlines that Blu-ray gets weekly? HD-DVD get MAYBE!! one headline a week and Blu-ray get two or more.

I don't own a player yet so, someone please explain what advantage HD-DVD has over Blu-ray right now I going for Blu-ray. What proven facts can you provide? And don't use the import advantage unless you can prove everyone who own a HD-DVD player buys and not rents thier movies. If Blu-ray supporters can't count the PS3 then imports shouldn't count ethier. Rent is a hugh market so you need to take that in consideration.

It's not a profile 1.1 feature. That will come on next year's Chronicles of Narnia release, as was announced earlier this week. PS3 certainly has the hardware for 1.1, so a software update should be all it needs.

"Well if this one works "as well as" Pirates of The Carribean Liar's Dice, blocking a player for a few minutes, then constantly looping and freezing, then thanks but I'll pass."

Sounds like someone didn't update their firmware. Liar's Dice works great on mine.

Highly Ranked

TJ,

it is a 1.1 feature as it requires a secondary video decoder in order to show PiP.

Btw, it hasn't been confirmed that PS3 will get 1.1. It's purely speculation and I would assume that it might be a problem as they would already announce it. PS3 doesn't have a secondary video decoder, however it has enough processing power to do it through software. Whether it will do it not, is really something that nobody can answer at this moment.
