BTW I am really unimpressed with the smoke in Forza 5. I watched GiantBomb stream yesterday, and they were spinning and doing donuts, with almost zero smoke.

Even running at full HD, Forza 5's image suffers for the lack of an effective anti-aliasing method, meaning the game gives us a crisp, but ultimately raw end result.
So 1080p does matter now?? I'm confused?

Yikes.
Framerate is king. But this is coming from somebody who likes to race competitively.
If you just want something pretty, then maybe.
It most definitely does. Huge improvement from 360/PS3.

Theres just no comparison, comparing Drive Club to Forza 5 at all, Forza just looks stunning!!!

Wow, that looks bad even by PS3/360 standard.
That Horizon has less aliasing isn't surprising, really.Horizon looked cleaner than this.
indeed. i can't believe how many people are/were saying that this is graphically the most impressive next gen game....
everything about this sentence irritates me.why do they have to insert the "we had expected" line?However, there's no ignoring the rough-looking foliage and cockpit interior details that go entirely untreated here. In other words, it's without a doubt an advance over the previous Forza standards in visual fidelity, but not the knockout blow we had expected in this category.

Man the jagged edges are pretty horrendous. Look at the shader aliasing on the water. Horrible.

30fps eww
It arguably was back at E3. I don't know what the hell happened since then.
dear god, I'd prefer 900p with some AA
that's horrendous
Wait wait, let's pull the camera a little bit back for Forza 5.

Shit zoom back in, zoom the fuck back in!!@#$
This thread reminds me of a bunch of people standing in front of the Mona Lisa complaining about some brush marks. Forza 5 is not perfect by any means. But attempting to call it 'ugly' really requires some alternative reality gymnastics. Is it possible to isolate some elements that don't look perfect? It is. But in motion, to me this game is absolutely beautiful.
However, different strokes I guess. If you believe this game is 'ugly' that's completely your perogative. I guess what bugs me about a lot of the 'resolution wars' stuff is that its all technical, and not very related to gameplay. When I play this game at 1080P and 60 frames per second, rolling around the Swiss alps in cockpit view, I honestly feel like I'm looking at real life. Cannot WAIT for Forza Horizon 2.

Seriously? Forza 5 seriously has painted trees for that distance in the background? And then Mortal Kombat style FMV sprite crowds?
My lord that is AWFUL. Haven't seen that done in a game in a very long time.
Are we sure this machine really has 5GB of RAM usable?
I'm playing Grid 2 with a 6770 @ 60fps and that game utterly destroys this.

Something's gotta give.I bet Forza 6 is vastly more visually impressive. Hopefully they get things like dynamic day / night and some weather effects in it.
I'd happily buy another console for some supersampling 60FPS goodness.This type of image quality will only be seen on consoles when PS5 or XboxTwo arrive... maybe.
Challenge accepted.

Looks like standard Grid 2 on PC to me.Edit: Hahaha Grid 2 screenshot bullshot
T10 didn't seem to grasp the concept of resolution, and resolution alone isn't important. But high fidelity images AT 1080p/60fps. I'm really sort of impressed that F5 is shipping like this, and the $$$ grab system, and its ok with gamers. Just means, like these basic abuses that a lot of people were wary about manifesting(f5's system of $), its going to get worse. just weird to me, the content and the visuals are compromised for a money system and a bullet point to say a game can do 1080p/60fps on your system too.I really wish T10 would have removed the crowds when they realized they weren't capable of getting the 3D rendered crowds from the reveal. They don't move. Ever. Just one random guy here and there waving a flag. And the aliasing really hurts the visuals in some areas.

This is Driveclub? Wow! Looks like a next-gen PGR, I like what I see.
Edit: Hahaha Grid 2 screenshotbullshot
They decided to run it on actual final hardware? What other explanation could there be?
