I have to wait till i get home in a couple days to try the demo, but it looks like after almost two years prologue still hasn't been surpassed graphically.

It's cute seeing how many people thought it would be surpassed. Only GT5 will have that honor.

Not to say F3 is a bad looking game. Still second best of all the driving games. But when it comes to car modeling, lighting, track representation, and sense of speed, PD has got it down to a science.

You can keep posting these pictures which don't really represent either game, but nothing you can do will ever change the fact that Prologue is 1080p, has more detailed car models, has a more robust lighting engine, and far more meticulously detailed interiors. It's OK to admit these things. Certainly Forza 3 excels in it's own areas, but photorealism isn't one of them.

They also nail the way the cars move on the track. It's hard to describe, maybe it's the way the suspension and chassis react to different road surfaces, but the cars really appear to be driving on the tracks.

Hard to explain.

sense of speed ?

Awesome job, Chris. Keep 'em comin!

This thread is now about the awesomeness of Outrun 2006. Discuss.

1080p, 4xAA, 60fps locked, vsynced and triple buffered. How awesome is Outrun 2006 on PC? So awesome.

GOD, that 2nd pic is just so GODLY!!! Seems like Forza3 is pushing many more poly's then GT5

you really go out of your way to shove your opinion as fact huh?


Why is it second best? Do graphics have anything to do with how well a game simulates driving, or signify better physics? lol c'mon.


it seems like the mob woke up from their nap, didn't take long.

I sometimes wonder if the GT franchise has any flaws to some of you, unless its perfect :lol

He was clearly talking about visuals, let's not kid ourselves here.

Come on, these can't be from the same game can they?http://images.gamersyde.com/image_forza_motorsport_3-11621-1856_0011.jpg

http://a.imagehost.org/0871/2002_Ferrari_Enzo_Ferrari_5.jpg

Here's an idea, why don't you go play the demo and find out how the pictures compare to the game?

 

[Mr.Potato Head]

:lol F3 baby!

 

[TheHeretic]

These photo comparisons seem manipulative and mostly irrelevant.

Am I the only one more interested in a feature comparison than comparing the graphics? They both run butter smooth and look great for console games, if you want better graphics play Grid or something on the PC.

 

[jakonovski]

In fact it is likely that visuals are the only thing he appreciates about these kinds of games. Which is kind of a pearls before swine moment.

 

[LordPhoque]

According to the comparison shots, models looks pretty much the same. Ain't noticing any BIG difference.

This is one of the more impressive GT 5 videos. Didn't like any of that track til now with that car.

 

[BruceWayneIII]

That Focus is sliding down the road after the rollover. >_> wth?

No friction after rolling over?

Did anyone else notice that the windshield seems to flip between several textures, depending on the angle? An LOD-like effect? Or did I see something that wasn't there...

 

[X26]

lighting and car models look noticably better in GT5 than F3, but as for which one is the better game, who knows yet. F3 does seem more feature rich though.

 

[ShogunX]

Judging games on poorly captured screenshots? Is this what GAF has come to?

Its evident if you actually stare at the Forza shots for more than 5 seconds that the screens are doing it a great disservice. I mean look at the speed dial ticker in the bottom right! You really think its jaggy like that in the demo? :lol

 

[duk]

i think GT5 has better lighting and i think FM3 has better details, just look at the road and background

If PD ever releases direct cap hud gameplay pics maybe people can do proper comparisons, for now lets laugh at FM3 for showing up for the fight.

awww you poor GT FAN..
you know whats written on GT covers..REAL DRIVING SIMULATOR right? so we care about only Sim..so i dont care about graphics..
i guess PD should remove that Sim tag from there..cuz they r doing REAL DRIVING CGI..not Sim

I guess they could always put the real cartoon simulator for forza.

:lol WTF is this shit? Turn10 has never in their lives released a real screenshot of Forza 3, unlike PD with GT5P.

Here's some just so you don't cry yourself to sleep:

PD isn't even afraid to show incomplete shit like that rear-view mirror, which was fixed by the time GT5P was released.

 

[kemalettin]

if you call forza as a cartoon i belive you r lookin to those pics with your cutie ass..

[Dabookerman]

Wait.. so this is a thread where you are allowed to say Forza/GT is crap.. This is a certified troll thread!?

I like Gran Turismo 5. It has the Top Gear test track. This is nice.

 

[Interfectum]

When did all the Forza bullshots start reappearing?

The demo has put those to bed and the cars look NOTHING like those bullshots no matter how you try to manipulate the screens :lol

 

[ShogunX]

You must be new here.

Its actually worrying that people take this shit as serious as they do. People can say what they want about Forza 3 but the fact remains that turn 10 have done a great job with relatively short development time they have had since Forza 2.

For that and the fact that people can get there hands on the full feature packed retail version in a few weeks time I tip my hat to them.

I really think threads like this only go to show how immature and insecure modern day gamers have become.

[keyrat]

He said, "second best driving game." I don't want to take sides, but graphics are a big part of the package that makes a driving game. For me, the Forza simulation would have to be not just marginally better, but very significantly better to make it a better game with the graphics differences being what they are now.

[cyberheater]

...but photorealism isn't one of them.

I have to say that last statement is true. FM3 is a great looking game and plays very well but it doesn't look like reality when I'm driving around. It has got a slight arcade look to it. Everything looks very impressive but my brain still thinks I'm looking at a game. In some ways, Shift looks more photorealistic although it doesn't handle nearly so well.

PD really are masters of car modeling and lighting. I'm expected great things from them when GT5 finally launches.

Those aren't the best screens, the jpg compression makes the outlines of the red look like ass.

Second best in terms of graphics, which is still an accomplishment considering how many 'car' games are out there. I'm not trying to tell anyone here which game is more fun than the other. You play what you want and that's it.

Or offer like some wildly more accomplished feature set in pretty much every other aspect of game experience.

Naturally, different strokes for different folks, but that sort of thing weighs a lot heavier for me than just photorealism.

Did you happen to miss all the posts about how those who were waiting for GT have to wait now? The talk of being able to play right now? etc. This whole thread has become a parody of itself.

i'm gonna rent GT5 today so i can get a good comparison for myself

The game looks significantly better when playing it. That car from that angle with that colour choice does a disservice to how the game really looks, I played the same thing and whilst it did look mediocre with that camera position it looked amazing in replay mode.

 

[jakonovski]

The SDF is strong tonight. I guess it's because they have nothing to play. :lol
