Forza Motorsport 5 announced

Forza is slowly but steadily transforming into something that Gran Turismo doesn't want to be, but sometimes very much is: car porn. Features like Autovista make this all the more clear. I don't feel the game is mostly about racing anymore. Forza 2 was ugly as shit but at least I loved taking cars out for a spin, something that is not as enormously exciting anymore as it once was in 4, for example. The boxarts somewhat mirror this paradigm change.

Can you give an example why? I think autovista is a waste but I don't think it makes the driving any worse than forza 2.
 
Those pictures are boner inducing.

Whether or not Forza 2 looked that great for the time it was still a big step up from the original Forza in terms of graphics.
 
So much for next-gen.

These pixelated shadows and reflections look straight out of GT5.

Anyone else notice that Microsoft only revealed a 720p trailer. Does that mean we won't be seeing 1080p as standard res for their games at launch.

Forza 2 was rough around the edges but it was also a great game. I love the flow of the single player game.

It also had the best implementation of LAN play for console racers till that point.... and then axed from every single title after. I still haven't forgiven them for that.
 
Has there been a confirmation specifically saying Fanatec wheels won't work?

We really need to wait and see what Turn 10 has to say about this at E3.
 
I said GODDAMN @ those screenshots. Racing games is one genre where we're definitely seeing a major jump from current gen.

Don't get your hopes up too much for 1080p as standard. There will be a lot more games that are 1080p, but I suspect a lot of games will target other resolutions. One thing we shouldn't be seeing at all are sub-hd game.
 
As someone who spent his uni life making 3D models:


The nasty triangles around the top middle of this screen shit piss me off, it's mad modelling or the use of a polygon scaler stitching corners wrong.

A lot of car badges and lights suffer from this in forza 2 and 3
 
What am I looking at.

It's a shadow problem that's in GT5.

The odd thing is that GT5 is the only other game I have ever seen this problem in.......... Have PD sold them their old engine? :/

(Given more time, I could replicate it perfectly, but here is an old pic with it in. But slightly softer)

Amazing pics. Next-gen is really going to be incredible.

So much for next-gen.

Oh wait scratch that. Its not next-gen because apparently there's still evidence thats its a video game and isn't indistinguishable from real-life yet. My bad.
 
God damn dat McClaren. Dat car, dem pics.

Body ready

Pics look like they have compression issues to right?

Dat headlight dust man

yep, some bug with models, i think they corrected it with Fm4, but it's noticeable here.

I was told that we shouldn't get our hopes up because it's all pre rendered. The actual game wont even look as good as GT6 on the PS3. :(
 
I wonder when GameSpot will publish the details of their visit to Turn 10?
Not expecting a lot but at this stage I'll do anything for Forza related media.
 
Personally I could care less if Xbox One games look worse than PS4 games as I mostly game on my PC. If I only cared about graphics I would be on PC strictly but I'm into the exclusives consoles offer and that goes for Xbox and Playstation.

Lol, I see you haven't changed from the Vs thread..

We need a new one of those to contain all this noise, and it was entertaining!

But you are right, there are some obvious deficiencies in the trailer that do support it being somewhere in the ballpark of in engine.

Pretty sure he's joking.

But it's a serious post though. The Forza fans all poked fun at GT5 photos that had the same issues with reflections.

But now I point it out in a Forza 5 shot (A NEXT GEN game!) people don't think it's an issue anymore...

I just think it's a bit fanboyish to ignore very valid complaints. The reflections and shadows should not look like that on a next gen console. Period.
 
GUYS!!!!

cut the crap with the red pen. you did that last gen and did not help you much.

game maybe day 1, but still its like 6 months until then. so hold your strict judgement until its gold.
