Take back what I said, this looks photo realistic lol. I wonder how it will look during actual racing?
overcast = auto better graphics!

T10 really need to completely drop the engine they've been using since FM1.
They have become far too comfortable with it and blind to it's obvious problems.
p.s Dan also did make a the pretty big claim of orange peel and "imperfections" being rendered in real time on the track and not just Autovista.
We will have to wait until November 22nd to know the truth (I highly doubt it given T10s history).

I think they're going to end up having to go that way one day. I really love the artistic style of Forza, but people just assume it's because they can't do photorealism and it'll always count against them.
what do you mean by that? bit more specific please.
i think the physics engine is always "optimized".
graphics engine? dont see the problems
at least i am not aware of major problems

Meant Graphics engine. Sorry, I should have been more specific.
And I'm talking about the complete lack of a real time global light engine which they obviously aren't doing because the engine can't support it at all or remotely efficiently.
The black blob of doom under the cars.
Top down environment to car shadow mapping.
Obvious LoD switching.
etc etc.
These will always be problems until they finally decide a graphics engine designed for a 12 year old console (yes, talking about original xbox) simply cannot cut it on current hardware.

It's because you can't see the clouds in there.

Reflections are looking great, but some of what we're seeing being reflected off the bonnet doesn't make much sense.
Gorgeous track though.

It's always cloudy with a chance of rain in England.
checked the eurogamer youtube channel and the video is still really bad quality. Will that be the recorded one or just a cache of the live version?
I'd guess/hope they'd have a bigger look at that for Forza 6. It seems fairly clear that 5 has had a lot of pressure to get ready for launch, so scope for a fully refreshed graphics engine is probably unrealistic.

FM4 did on some tracks, i think it will be the same here.
This is what it's always been like; Forza doesn't always aim for photorealism, but on some tracks it can look pretty real.
It's usually more about the scenery than it is about the cars btw, and it looks like we're good here.

The latter, if they cant stream from the event I doubt they have the bandwidth to upload the recorded footage from there.

He quite clearly said he was going to pause the physics when the game stopped (timers still running btw).
It stopped and then he said "Ok, I'll pause it here" or something. lol
Didn't crash the whole thing, but I think it was definitely a bug.
Slayer-33
Liverpool-2
He knew it was coming
Anyway, lets thank eurogamer for putting their Z intern team in charge of the event.
yeah, he mentioned before he loaded it up how he was experiencing bugs and the demo may have to be cut short. quite sure the demo was in fact cut short. a bit worrying. sure things will be fine when the game ships, but still. alps to be day one DLC confirmed?

Audio was massively out of sync :|
Or knew it was a possibility at least. He said at the start there was a bug that meant he might have to cut the demo short. Nicely played by Dan, though.He knew it was coming
EDIT: yap, y'all got it
Not seeing a huge jump in the Autovista stuff, but the gameplay looks great.
He didn't pause it
The texture on the rock in the mountains is a huge step up.

you know what was going to happen ?
blinding sun glare going out of the tunnel.
Dan decided to spare himself the laughters.

He probably paused the demo because he didn't want us to see the shitty tunnel lighting that is directly carried over from FM4. Since it has prebaked lighting it looked all wierd with the sun shadow still present. God damit T10, how come a 2010 game on 2006 hardware manages to be more technologically advanced than a 2013 game on nextgen?

in screenshots, alps do look a lot better than before, i didn't see that much of a difference during the stream

You were right... but yeah, what's the point.
That said, we still have a thread for all that sort of bullshit, and that particular post belongs in it.
Those two shots look like a different area of the track to me. I don't think that is where the fencing is.
where?
That thread is gone, unfortunately.
Anyways, I think this 'bug' shows why we haven't gotten footage from Spa and Bathurst or anywhere else. Stuff probably isn't in a playable state yet. Which is a little worrying...
That was a bit strange. I wonder what would have happened if he carried on?
No, he said it at the same time he paused it. That wasn't a bug.

Don't think there was any 'carrying on' to do. Seemed like the physics just died or something.
Ok, yea, you're totally right. Ignore everything I said before!
Nope, he said there was a bug they found in the build, and that's why he had to stop. Right here. Something to do with an issue around the last corner.

Fair enough, a shame as it was a good way of penning in all the platform trolls.

Yeah there was some new driver animations and the helmet might have been different. I'm sure someone said there was to be no driver customisation.
Who knows what's going on.
