Hardcore narrow road vs casual/noob/Kinect friendly extra large road (same track):

Forza will always be a great arcade racer, nothing more, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Also Forza has 30 fps rearview mirrors. lololol

Absolutely no elevation change.

 

[diddles]

Forza 4 seriously looks like a new burnout game. which isn't bad, but not what you want in a "sim". GT5 looks to me like the cars handle much more realistically also going by those pics.

 

[Psychotext]

I'm struggling to work out which posts are serious any more... I guess that probably says a lot about the thread generally.

/backs away slowly

 

[Xun]

We're all far too friendly and accepting of each game.

I spoke too soon.

 

[GTP_Daverytimes]

I spoke too soon.

You did my friend, you did.

EDIT: Also it seems like this thread is officially revived ehh?

 

[chubigans]

^ Serious?

There is nothing that I said that wasn't true.

Gosh I'm glad Forza 4 is coming out. Here's to another year of awesome threadness!

what? how can you tell how a game is playing from the picture?

 

[watership]

The fuck? NO NO NO! Why?? I will not bare witness to this!

edit. FUCK. NOPE. Can't avoid it. Why are the pics for both games overexposed and looking like Sega rally images?

 

[The Stealth Fox]

Looks like some revenge is about to be had by the GT fans.

Hehehehehehehe.

In this thread everything is possible.

[funkystudent]

In GT5 you can turn the map off, the instruments off or clear the screen completely.

yeah I know... But I want to turn everything else off and keep the map and the speed instruments.

I dont need to see how much fuel in a 5 lap race or the names of the AI drivers in A Spec in the middle of a race.

 

[Chinner]

boy those racing games sure do not look very good.

8mph vs 200mph. I'll take 200 thanks.


They also have superior/definitive shadows

 

[Dibbz]

I know right? It's practically 5 times as wide!

Not sure if you're agreeing or not but yeah Forza is like twice as wide which is a huge deal for the Ring. Oh and the camber and elevation change is way off on Forza.

Is it fictional track ?

[les papillons sexuels]

how do I unlock the human shaped car?

 

[chubigans]

Seriously Chinner, stop spamming the thread please.

 

[AgentChris]

What does a PC game have to do with this thread?

 

[The Stealth Fox]

Witcher 2 is basically a poop game anyways, just like Mass Effect 1 and Metal Gear Solid 2. Just another one of Chinner's lies.

I don't understand why people are comparing GT5's nurburgring to Forza 4's Daytona International Speedway. It's just not a fair comparison.

 

[Gravijah]

dayyyyyyyyyyytonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[Snuggles]

He's not ugly, he's weathered. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Also, thank you chinner for taking for blessing this thread, although it may not be worthy of Witcher 2 shots.

It's not a steering assist if you don't admit it.

Where are the Forza fans at?
I remember them giving GT5 a hard time when GT5 was not even out.


Where are yoooooouuuuuu....

Has to be said, the difference between those two Ring pics is vast.

Turn 10 has always had trouble Modelling things right (Cars or Tracks).

If you mean in terms of Field of View, you are correct.

 

[op_ivy]

has nothing to do with FOV. nope

 

[commedieu]

If you mean in terms of Field of View, you are correct.

If by FOV,

you mean the world is flat in forza...

then yes. Its the fov.

 

[op_ivy]

Oh really:

and

 

[Metalmurphy]

has nothing to do with FOV. nope

This excuse has been thrown around many times but it's completely untrue. No it doesn't "seem" wider because of the FoV. It is wider. If anything the FoV is helping, just look at how much thinner the car is, and yet the track is still wider.

 

[op_ivy]

Absolutely no elevation change.

anyone that has played any iteration of the ring in the forza series knows that there is definitely elevation change at that spot the picture was taken. i admit, it may not be visable in the screen, but its there.

 

[JVIDICAN]

large_amount_of_images.jpg

lololol. Forza has inferior cloud rendering!!1 >

 

[belvedere]

and

Damn awesome, actually.

Reflection mapping gives it away easily though. A definite improvement.

 

[Vorg]

Oh gawd this thread again. Can't wait for Forza 4 to come out to watch the inevitable trainwreck.

 

[Shurs]

So many great personal memories in this thread.

thats an effect of the FOV

compare this extreme
quake @ 90

quake @ 150

notice the gun looks thinner, also stretched. just like the forza pic

Hmm.. I think its more about road camber than elevation change in that pic.

 

[Diablohead]

both games hit and miss in all areas, both look stunning in the right places.

I do prefer the ring look on gt5, forza trees since the first game have always been second nature to the cars themselves.

 

[duk]

did they do anything to make GT5 more stable at 60fps or is it still a fluxy mess?

 

[commedieu]

and

lol.

F4 looks good, but not GT5 good.

 

[nib95]

Are these real comparison shots? Honestly speaking I thought F4 would look a lot better than GT5 but based on these shots it seems GT5 still comfortably takes the lead.

I was going to talk about some of GT5's standard tracks as a negative, but from the shots above, both games apparently have their rough spots.

Also, I think GT5 nails materials and colours better, such as the matt finish of the Zonda R, F50 Red and the off white of the 350Z.

 

[op_ivy]

lol.



F4 looks good, but not GT5 good.

you are loling @ that subaru pic!? really? i wasnt even posting it to "compete" with the gt5 pic, just to compliment it by saying they both look OUTSTANDING.

but to shrug it off with a wall of pics is stupid. it does look outstanding, nearing photorealistic. at least as good as anything on consoles, period.

I wouldn't go as far as to say the Forza pic is outstanding. The wheels don't look real at all. The tyres in particular look like they're made of plastic, like a toy car's.
