I think it's easy to find shit looking stuff in any game if you want to..
I opened my XB1 last night after deciding to keep it, and I've spent quite a few hours on FM5 now..
Sure, it has some pretty ropey bits in it if you look for them,
I do laugh at the crowd.. they can be reasonably high-res if unless you start zooming in ridiculously.. here's Dan chillin' with some office dudes..
However, as with the comments above, the actual game is pretty decent, the texture work and overall effect in-motion is pretty impressive indeed, I am about 1.5 Feet away from a 24" monitor on my racing rig, and it looks pretty decent, I've certainly been impressed more times then I've been disappointed..
I'm sure it's competition will step things up graphically, and good on them, as long as they maintain a rock solid 60 and have decent audio, physics, collisions, etc, then it'll give T10 something to improve upon.
And that's not forgetting that this is a launch game, it's rushed, it feels monetised to hell, and it's a shame they wheren't given the extra time, but we are where we are..
I can't wait for my PS4, and I'll have the best of both consoles, so I can stay well and truly out the confirmation bias shit that people are pulling..
Yikes, Forza 5 doesn't look very good. The E3 demo looked better than anything out there. Amazing how much of a visual downgrade there has been in the final game. The poor IQ sticks out like a sore thumb.
Have you played it? Just asking.. I was down on it's visuals when I saw the first streams the other day, but I've been very happy after getting some time on it.. I'd suggest people getting too 'concerned' make some effort to see it in the flesh before condemning it..
