Someone post pics of FM2, so we can see what we started with last gen and compare it to what we are starting with this gen.

Gotta love Forza fans

Forza 4: They need to add some race day atmosphere, its to sterile.

Forza 5: WTF is going on with all this atmosphere, that's not my Forza

Lighting still faked too....

...you do see the shadow itself cast on the side of the car where it's supposed to be, right?

 

[Mascot]

Starting with the April 1st leak, and heading into E3, the buildup to FM4 was, for me, one of the best ever. I remember trawling the interwebs daily, desperate for even the slightest tidbit. The fact that we'll be doing it all over again in a matter of weeks, and for a game launching on new hardware, no less, makes me slightly giddy.

Good time ahead, fellas.

Me too. It was an absolute obsession.

That April leak dropping out of nowhere was probably the most exciting videogame-related thing I've ever experienced. It just totally blew me away. Such a massive leap over FM3.

Um, it's there...
Your arrows are hilarious and wrong.

 

[Paladin CL]

The FM logo looks amazing, i love the change and i think they finally have something very classy. The "Forza Motorsport 5" logo instead looks quite meh.

 

[Vire]

Forza was the one thing that made me happy. I just wish they had a full on live demo.

Seemed like a big missed opportunity.

 

[p3tran]

come on guys, this is better than pgr.
well, as long as there is more than one city for those of you who cant stand race tracks.

Magical shadows coming from no where then?

(and no, I don't see it on the side, that's why I pointed it out)

FM3 had this glaring issue as well.

They copy/pasted the atmosphere from Horizon.

I shouldn't knock it, wanted more grit, game almost looks too beautiful.

 

[FlyFaster]

after watching a few more times I am calling BS on the video. My love of McLaren blinded me from using critical thinking.

The game won't look like that under gameplay conditions.

 

[conman]

It was an ugly trailer. Perhaps an in-engine render, but didn't look to be using in-game physics or anything. Gave the whole video a goofy, pre-baked CG look. Unnatural.

 

[Zekra Dezivad]

The reflection of the road on the orangeness seems quite strange
Stunning detail btw

 

[slider]

Liked it a lot bar the voiceover which annoyed me.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

I kinda hope this game has commentary like the trailer.

Would be a nice fun optional feature.

[Evolution_1ne]

this and GT6 will be the last time these two franchises will technically comparable

Once PD switches fully to PS4 development....yikes

Watch it again.

You will find a lot of imperfections (like any other game) if you look hard enough.

 

[phosphor112]

...what... that was my fucking point. The shadows are coming from the fence on the left, and they are magically being cast onto the car YET the shadow from the fence (where it should be) is under the tires.

 

[Mascot]

BIG pics incoming sorry...

Holy fuck, they've modelled the HID light scattering through fine stone chips and/or dust on the headlight lens cover. Looks just like the Xenons on my own car (due to stone chip texture on the perspex). Amazing detail.

II think it's fair to say that different people have different opinions on what constitutes atmosphere....

 

[p3tran]

btw kudos to t10 for the first glimpse of nextgen gfx

I find the coating a very nice "nextgen touch", and i think its nice that its there to show day1

hopefully "xbox one" will have some juice for you to do stuff, because Dan, I heard you on that panel talking about "cloud computing" earlier and you got me worried my friend, I tell you that.

 

[Rulp]

Very underwhelmed. Good effort, but Driveclub visually looked miles ahead of this. This was the best thing they showed and it does not really look next gen. It's an improvement, but nowhere near a generational jump.

Looks great to me.

You GOT to be kidding me, the game in those screens looks freaking gorgeous, do you guys need to nitpick everything?

 

[Anticitizen One]

the pics look good but honestly the trailer looked like another 360 installment

fer reels

Although FM4 took some tiny steps in the right direction, up until now, the series has had all the personality of a worn-out paper bag. The atmosphere trackside, or in the paddock, is difficult to describe, (and even harder to recreate virtually I'm sure), but there's something electric in the air when racecars are blasting past in anger.

I'm not in favor of Forza going all NFS: Shift, which sometimes took things too far in the other direction, (Willow Springs is supposed to look like a dustbowl, not a fucking circus), but borrowing a few pages from SMS's playbook couldn't hurt.

Its a racing sim. we need gameplay footage.

Can't people be banned for such dickish behaviour?

Seriously, are you 5 years old or something?

bueno, downloading it to my tv right now B)

Yes. It's a last gen issue on a next gen console.

It's weird because it has self shadowing, but the tracks shadows are 100% prebaked.

A lot of the detail was being obscured in the stream. It looks very nice.

Woops, thanks!

 

[velociraptor]

Holy shit - this looks fantastic. Announcer was annoying as fuck though.

 

[RoKKeR]

Best part of the reveal, this could be a system seller for me.

 

[Paladin CL]

Sure but read what im saying, the game in those screens looks amazing, whatever is gameplay/realtime or not and this guy is already nitpicking those screens. To me those screens looks soo good yet he is looking for any minor detail to find a flaw.

 

[conman]

The game won't look like that under gameplay conditions.

Like I said above, there's clearly no physics or anything else at work here. It's a pre-baked video (that may or may not be actively rendered in-engine) so it's not being taxed in any way. Nothing (physics, effects, motion, AI, etc) is being actively rendered alongside it. It may as well be CG.

Anyhow, I don't buy it. Not because it looked too good, but because it looked too goofy and wonky. Motion was totally unnatural (because it was pre-baked).

 

[tranciful]

I think it's fair to say "in-game" refers to visuals being dynamically produced in real-time by the system. We've been informed that the visuals for the trailers fit this criteria.

These FM5 shots look more feasible when looking at the high res images (minus the IQ), but please keep in mind the sort of things they originally showed for past games

These were showing off autovista mode, but real autovista mode didn't look as good (I wasn't able to find the real-time version showing inferior ground texture).

Children say the darndest things.

 

[watchdog]

Cars looked good. But the track looked empty and uninteresting.

 

[jett]

Reminded me of Grid, seems Turn 10 has given up on trying to look as realistic as possible. Strange trailer, to feature only two cars. Looks good, though.

 

[velociraptor]

Cars looked good. But the track looked empty and uninteresting.

Tracks looked very impressive - vibrant and full of detail. However, I do not like the GRID/DIRT style 'festival' scene.

Yeah, it was definitely stylized.

It looks great. But here is one thing.

If that lighting is prebaked, you know what that means?

There is no day night cycle, and "night races" (if they are confirmed) are preset.

 

[Emwitus]

Lighting still faked too....

I see the nitpicking has already began

 

[derFeef]

http://www.destructoid.com/forza-5-quantum-break-footage-from-xbox-one-dev-kits-254220.phtml

Yep, they're real. Xbox boss Phil Spencer confirmed in an interview this afternoon that the footage you saw for Forza Motorsport 5 and Remedy's Quantum Break this morning are running on Xbox One dev kits. Not renders or some other trickery, you skeptics. I know some out there were questioning some of the screenshots and footage from this morning. Stop. They're the real deal

How did it work in Forza Horizon? Didn't that have a day night cycle?
