Wow, Drive Club looks significantly better than the two.the lighting always seems off in forza games, 4 is the best so far but should the exhaust under the body be illuminated like that? and why is the road so insanely shiny

Forza 3 vs Gran Turismo 5 Comparison Thread of John, Chapter 11, Verse 35

most of the time the game is orange
So basically you don't know what a piss filter is?
These are piss filters.
A piss filter is when a entire game (100% of the time) has a orange filter on the color palette.
No it isn't.
Orange-yellow light from a sunset or sunrise is not a piss filter.
well you'd hope so wouldnt you
those are more extreme examples of a piss filter but horizon still has one

that's what makes this thread so fun to follow. Ultimately every singe racing game looks pretty much the same when you're actually playing it, and then everyone uses fancy camera mode shots to try to prove a point. (project cars is no exception either)
Cool, might check it out. Though if I biuy another wheel. I might be getting divorced...I got 8 kids to feed.

Erm, no, they really don't.
As someone who has played a ton of racing games I can easily say with confidence you're completely wrong.
project cars looks amazing in gameplay, the console racers dont

so much denial. sigh.
Put Project Cars on Xbox 360 or PS3 hardware and try saying the same thing...
So you say something pulled from the proverbial ass, people shoot it down and they are in "denial".
Yup.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
If it helps I pretty much agree with you, we're getting to the point in graphical fidelity where the racing games sort of blur together in looks.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
The high-end Fanatec club sport pedals are among the best out there for the price point.
You could trick people with certain Forza 4 and GT5 shots.
no shit, but thats not relevant to what he said
I love it. The tears...let them flow. Let them pour all over me.
Stunt Car racer and Geoff Grammond Grand Prix series are the true lords of sim racing anyway....

I'll accept that challenge.

Because GT5 doesn't switch models for race photo mode. Only for Photo Travel.
The model you see there is the model you see while you're playing. Forza switches to a higher detailed model.

So have we finally concoluded that both games have their strenghts and weeknesses and what looks better mostly comes down to personally preference or are fanboys still arguing about this?
I personally perfer Forza 4, but that's because the game is more fun to play. I could care less what game is the better sim or has the better graphics. I still enjoy both games but I've played hundreds of hours of Forza this gen and about 30 of GT5.

yes but still i've taken close detail shots on track with cars like the ferrari enzo and the detail was amazing, the r34 almost looks like a standard model

The best part about Fanatec wheels is that they're compatible across both consoles & pc. In hindsight I wish I made this investment instead.
I've never participated in this thread because I could never find the words to convey how I perceive these two franchises.
Suddenly, I realized that I can do it through the power of the photograph:
Gran Turismo and Polyphony Digital:
Forza Motorsport and Turn10
lol. This is why this thread is the greatest
You do realize you can stop and look at them while in gameplay right?

Erm... yes. I'm not sure what you're getting at though. Think you probably miss understood what I said.

One big problem forza has had since the very beginning is no good self shadowing, I can understand with forza 1 and 2 but the later games have rather bad self shadows, such as the exhaust or engine in a cover or behind a grill looking really bright instead of in darkness. Also on some cars a wing on the back does not produce a shadow at all, or you can knock it off and the shadow remains.
If forza can fix that then it's a big step forward.

Isn't it a standard model?
With all the power under the hood for Durango (Even at current rumored specs), they have no excuse this time.
no its premium, i guess its just a lazy premium

Weird. I can only assume it looks like that in photo mode too then?
Nah. Just LOD issues with that particular model.

Hmmm yep, that's definitely buggered. Surprised it hasn't been patched.

Horizon colour tones also change depending on area of the map which is interesting, since half the map is red rock the orange hangs around and out stays it's welcome to me, but I still love the game for what it is.
One thing horizon lacks is the option to toggle the headlights manually, but they also need to fix the glare because it looks really bad like someone made a white blob in paint shop, applied heavy blur to it and exported the alpha layer.

Do you have any of Forzas ingame models for comparison?

Nope.
Forza uses multiple LoDs based on different circumstances.
The photomode LoD is the same LoD as you get in the garage and the same as a single car on track LoD. You can actually drive around in the "photomode" model.
The lower LoD (where the interior is blacked out and it's lower poly) is only seen in races with multiple cars.
The lowest LoD is for A.I cars.

Is this thread your Magnum Opus?
Those aren't extreme examples they are examples of what a piss filter is, Forza Horizon does not have one.
this is a forza 2 shot and all models in forza 2 are the same low lod
i think it does, boom
I totally forgot about Che, lol

"Nope"? Nothing you said contradicts what I said. Forza does switch to a higher detailed model when you take a photo. GT5 does not.
I wanted a F4 one obviously lol
Whether or not you think it does doesn't make it true...
Are you really that narcissistic?
ah, still weird how a lot of other models look amazing in race lod too
forza 4 one would be high photomode lod, the one in forza 2 is the one used in gameplay in forza 4
