Which makes you wonder, are the men really their working on your car? Or are they all in your mind.
Gotta be hard for them to remove the tire screws and open the fuel door on those standard cars. They're just painted on!

That's probably roughly what would happen if cars and barriers were made of indestructiblium. All the energy that would go into transformations, remains kinetic.

My ultimate car game:

Forza Motorsport's customization,upgrades and tuning
Need for Speed's audio engine
Codemaster's slick menu systems and navigation
Gran Turismo's physics engine,'premium' modelling and passion for cars...

Make that happen and this thread will die......or will it?

I don't care how meticulously some of these people have looked for bugs and glitches and bad looking shots to document... this amount of bad looking shots/glitches/bugs would have never been found in GT4.

Polyphony's QA control definitely has been slipping for GT5. It just doesn't have the same level of polish the earlier games had. Probably a consequence of the sheer amount of content and constant delays.

Both games look awesome confirmed!

Microsoft's fault.



This is a more 'fair' comparison; it shows fm3 'real' models as seen ingame and during replays: those are cpu controlled cars and their model wasn't swapped with the higher lod one

If nothing else, we should all be able to agree that the lighting in GT5 is better. The cars in Forza 3 are too shiny.

Even T10 themselves admit so :p
Oh and look, forza3 models look just like standard gt5 cars! (if you're blind)
 
Its pretty obvious that premium cars in GT5 look better than forza 3...they still look good in Forza 3 though. I mean I remember playing test drive back in the days...games have come a long way

But none of those are in game they are all replays. I thought model swaps happen during replay.

:lol There's not a single sim that's free from that kind of shit. Showing some videos of LFS bugging out proves very little. The "ultimate car game" would have the physics and laser scanning of iRacing anyway :p ... but you won't see that in a $60 game any time soon ...

Wait, Insertia's come back was to post the same post again?

Also, I'm pretty sure Insertia believes photomode is representative of gameplay.
He thinks photomode elitism will win the war :lol


Pre GT 5 delusion is now post release GT 5 delusion for him.

Photo mode is what the game is going to look like on the ps4 ... if we're lucky.

or 2015 when we have pc's good enough to emulate the ps3 .. which ever comes first

no, it doesn't, replay models are the same as ingame, in both games.

Forza uses better-than-gameplay/replay models for photomode and menus
GT5 uses better-than-gameplay/replay models for photo travel mode (menus too i assume)

holy fuck.. serious those are AI cars in FM3? they still looking great.

absolutely, my car is the M3 coupe you see behind the C63 and the 8C competizione is from the same replay.

Yes, from a geometry standpoint they're still very good (cars introduced with fm3 generally are).
I think T10's mistake was recycling Fm2 models for older cars, since they DID remodel them too in 'premium' detail for menus, they probably could have obtained a much better lower poly mesh from those.
i believe T10 can improve the overall visual impact tenfold by working on colors, lighting and shaders alone.

Cartoon vs Reality.
It's amazing how far console graphics have advanced.




GT5 is the most visually inconsistent game I’ve ever played.

Kart racing tracks are about as cartoonish as you can get. look at that gravel. it’s even noticeable while racing.
