The LFA looks and sounds so much better on GT7. Also the track looks more detailed on GT

They both look great but yeah GT7 has better details for sure in this comparison.

Also first time I'm seeing the windshield reflections in Forza. Seeing the hands reflect looks horrible, that's not realistic at all.

Do you make these shitty videos? If not, can you tell me who does so I can go round to his house and bang his coupon for such shit taste in music.

Thanks.
I am sorry but did you just call GoT main theme song shitty taste in music ? gtfo and never comeback ever again -_-
 
Have we already had that?^^




It's using screen space reflections for the rain/ground, the same as GT7. What it's doing different is using ray traced reflections for the cars, so you will see accurate reflections of other vehicles as they pass by. What it's NOT doing is ray traced global illumination.

Still doing more than GT7 and it shows in that video I posted, which makes the games look a generation apart.

A generation apart. Holy crap, dude!!

Not my quote, but people responding to it. Of course the entire game doesn't look a gen apart, but when you look at that video, there are parts that jump out at you, especially the first half. Pretty drastic difference if you ask me 🤷‍♂️

GT7 uses planar reflections, not screen space reflections like FM. In photo mode it uses RT reflections everywhere (cars, track, surroundings).
 
That video is the most lazy video posted, and all others are getting ignored because in the rest of the videos, GT7 wipes the floor in more areas with Forza.

Also GT7 doesn't look like that at all. Im not sure what they've done with the colours? Second: a lot of comparisons also use the PS4 version instead of the PS5 version.

Still haven't changed your avatar after losing the September NPD bet I see.

I mean, photo mode? why even point that out lol. Forza is using planar reflections too apparently, those are typically used on flat surfances, nothign ground breaking. What IS ground breaking is the use of RTAO (Ray traced ambient occlusion) and ray traced reflections off vehicles, cool when one passes by.

Here's a link showing all reflection modes for Forza:

Still waiting to be told what I'm supposed to be changing it to, I asked twice in that thread. Sounds like you have something personal going there, why do you care? What does this have to do with Forza vs GT7? 🤔

What are you talking about? GT7 uses planar reflections during gameplay, RT reflections on cars in replays + planar reflections on the ground and RT everywhere in photo mode (+ RTAO)
FM uses RTAO + simple RT reflections on cars and cheap screen space reflections in hood cam and on the ground.

In replay and photo mode are NOT real-time.

Also, you're wrong about Forza not using Planar reflections, see the link I posted.

To me Forza looks more "real" moves more "real", it is a matter of opinion at this point.
Probably a combination of Forza having a better chase cam, and whoever playing on GT7 using a controller instead of a wheel. The way they move the car there reminds me of using the d-pad in GT1 on the PS1.
 
I found absolutely great thing about FM's graphics - and It's volumetric fog. You can actually see a volumes of air, especially at night which makes whole picture look more '3D' and all the lights are interacting with it beautifully.
GT7 supposed to use this too but it isn't - fog used in GT7 is very flat or not used at all in almost any case giving a very stirile picture. Glad if I'm wrong.
 
I can't comment for GT7 having never played it, but after a few weeks with Forza I can safely say gameplay gfx highs are very high, but its much more frequent lows can be plain (offering little in the way of visual improvements over previous iterations). I guess this is just the nature of the beast with dynamic time of day and weather, and all the baggage that comes with that.

Its photomode is just a constant source of disappointment (although thankfully this isnt what you play).

With regards to the actual racing - it feels exceptional on a controller. Of that I have no doubt.

In this video comparison, Forza looks so much worse. The guy is playing on PC, and he was previously really critical of GT7's physics before the overhaul, plus a good sim head. If he's saying all this about Forza - I'm not in a hurry to get a new XSX...

 
Is this true? 🤔

He is asking if anybody has verified if this is the case after the update. It's not like it was posted as news on a new thread. I think you need to settle down.

No. It seems mostly the same to me. I think they are just noticing the variable resolution in that graphics mode to keep frame rate at 60fps. If anything, the graphics improved a bit due to fixing some of the lod and shader issues. But it's mostly the same unless you scrutinize in photo mode.
