Why is there such a huge difference in contrast and exposure in pics some users are getting from twitter and one's which come off of a direct feed console.

Just look at the Forza logo on this pic and compare with mine, someone cranked up the brightness to max to take this picture.

This is from my own console, perfectly symmetrical details and no overblown exposure.

How about taking a photo of the same exact car like Gingen.

Sure, what's the name of the car.

But demi, my man, even you can see the massive difference in the exposure levels while dropping the lol right? You can't have not noticed it :pie_thinking:
 
That is obviously a copy and paste job from older Forza game. May be from 360 era ? But IMO photo mode comparison is irrelevant. GT photo mode cannot be used in PS6 gameplay as well.

This is the gaming equivalent of turning the lights off to make your woman look better.

No it's more like bad cosmetic surgery.

But anyway, GT has better car details, I don't think anyone will disagree with that. Forza has other strengths that GT doesn't in its latest game.

Both have strengths and weaknesses. There is no 'but this looks a generation ahead of the other'. Which is disappointing for a game six years in the making and exclusive to the current gen.

And I'm my opinion: especially for Forza which was, in previous iterations, better than GT in almost every regard. Yes, I've always been more of a Forza guy.

Is my pic too bright or is your too dark? For sure both looks horrible.

PS Simply if you take a picture playng with HDR ON (that in 2023 should be the normal condition) it looks very bright, if you take a picture playng with HDR off (pure nonensense if you have a TV that support HDR) it looks too dark. It's clear that these devs have made something wrong

I'm not sure what the issue is? If you scale it down enough like the gif's posted here, it looks a lot better. See Fig 1.

So anyway, here's some more direct feed FM shots.

But do those scenes look as good in bonnet cam/ or no bonnet cam like cross gen GT7 does? A friend at drop off that has no preference and playing on PC with a RTX 4080/OLED C1 (owns PS5/XsX) said it looks poor, soft and lacking crispness compared to the previous forza and not as good at GT7, to the extent he'd stopped playing because his Forza on 4080 looks far worse than his PS5 with GT7..

Having played both quite a bit i think GT7 looks a bit better but more importantly is just way smoother experience overall (menues, replays, invisible loading etc(

the switch to 30fps (in menues, race intros and replays) and loading interuptions really makes Forza feel a bit janky

Oh and the lack of music in forza makes it feel almost sterile

Brought this up a few pages ago, for those who have both. I agree. Regarding menu/load screens, Forza feels sluggish and janky in comparison
 
The car detail is higher on GT, but as you can see (the logo is the easiest place to pick), the picture from that post was severely overblown.

What an amazing PS3 graphics.

They have no shame? how does your pride allow you to release such a car with such details on an Xbox series X ?

In a car game, only here will you see excuses for frankly shitty car models. Apart from lacking detail, look at those big ole polygons. I think motorfest cars are better than some Forza Motorsport models, and I'm not joking at all
 
Those car models in Forza are an absolute joke. From the ground up my ass.

Some of my pics, some from yesterday (all gameplay)

This isn't mine, don't remember where I got it (photomode)

I was playing with photo mode on the PS4 version of GT7 earlier and I think the car models even on that last gen version look better than FM2023, there is more detail when you zoom in (replay mode, not scapes).
 
The difference in the car models is generational in favor of Gran Turismo 7, it is so much that you wonder if it is really the new Forza and not another previous one.

Models are 100% carried over in FM8, despite T10's "built from the ground up" marketing nonsense.

That said--personally, I feel like most car models in Forza are good enough that I'd rather have more cars than have to wait for Polyphony-level detailing.

GT7 currently has 484+ highly detailed cars.
FM2023 currently has 500+ PS3/PS4 detailed cars.

The count is negligible.
 
Huge problem with legacy assets outside the crude details like headlamps, it that in Forza they are modeled very narrowly from the inside.

Ever since GT Sport all car interiors in GT are made with 360 degrees camera in mind. That 'useless' overdesign are why you can play the game in VR mode from start to finish. And it is also pure eye-candy. Look at the recent Hiace Ambulance model, for example.

In FM 2023 some cockpits are broken even on default FoV. So not even VR mods on PC will save the game, the assets are just not there across the board, cockpits are modeled partially, only to fit onto the tiny camera pivot. A huge bummer for assets future-proofness. From the ground up!

idk what it is about forza. some shots look amazing.

other shots look terrible even by last gen standards.

ray tracing was a waste on this..

id take drive club graphics over any racer still
 
You guys are something else man, praising GT7's photomode car models while shitting on Forza's car models. Yeah highly detailed models that you can only see in photomode and scapemode. And posting only the shitty models in Forza while ignoring 90% of the very detailed models. Sure the highest lod models look better in GT7, but its only in the menu's and scape mode. You guys act like those are the gameplay models. GT7 doesn't even use the photomode car models from GTS. In game the models are soo much worse than the photomode models.

Half of FM car list is an honest standart models from GT6/GT5 era. There are a few 'premiums' (usually from taken from more recent Horizon games), but they are still lacking due to outsourcing quality.

It's so cute that you've ignored my post.

Also, GT7/GTS doesn't lower your opponent's car dertails, the quality of gameplay models is consistent. Meanwhile FM7...
