lol, sad but true
Just like I said they don't know how to do sunlight properly. That's the problem with the graphics all along.
The trees in the background photo don't match the lighting of the rendered trees close up.
I feel sorry for Turn10 being pushed around by MS though. They were forced to release a game so soon and they are not getting any support here.
Taking some concepts I've learned here is how roads look like when I drive on a mountain on a sunny day like that...
The sunlight should "bleach" the road and cars and everything. People say hey turn down the saturation...well thats what sunlight does because it bleaches colors out.

Fujimi looks nice 
So... We can expect something on the Marketplace today according to that comment made on FC.
I'll be nipping home from work if a Demo comes out today.

I see it and know exatly what you mean for what it's worth, surely a (strange) artistic choice though, they've taken thousands of pictures and visited many locations...they know how it should look.
What I see in Forza games is massive amounts of the same colour used over and over, it differs per track, like someones picked 3 or 4 strong colours and everything else is made up of different tones of it.
There's no variety.

What happened to the new lighting engine on Kaido?
The lighting has always been off in almost every single screenshot of the game, no surprises there.
But for gods sake Turn 10, show off your damn game!!!
I've seen nothing but Menu screens, the odd photo-mode shot and a trailer or 2.
And to top it all off you spend the entire portion of TGS showing off Kinect shite that 99% of Driving fans don't give a fuck about.

If this part of the track is in the shadow of the mountain, then no, he isn't.
Edit:
But seen as the sun comes from behind the mountain here, it should probably cast a shadow on the plain at its feet.

lighting has been pretty much spot on for almost every piece of media released so far, with real tracks being the most convincing (not a huge fan of the alps environment in terms of 'realistic look')
Now tsukuba and fujimi, i actually think had a more natural color palette in fm3.
Of course, screenshots might be deceiving.
From the comparison screens, it appears one of fm3 worst offenders (OPAQUE GRAY headlights glass...) has gone.

So we've joked and laughed at the lack of media regarding the game but i'm really getting worried here.
Seriously, what could be the reasons for this turn of events all of a sudden?
Why are they taking this approach of secrecy and apprehension towards the game?
Has something gone wrong over there?
This reminds me of how budget games or devs who aren't confident with their product behave.
And where's the community manger in all of this to set the record straight or at least pretend that everything is fine?
What we've seen and heard so far suggests a top notch game so what's the deal Turn 10?

Delayed to 2012 to include Amalfi, Spa and Hurst as well as weather, dynamic night and day cycles, and gokarts? I think you guys are simply a bit tense that's all.
If that's the case then no problem. Would wait even longer for that.boris feinbrand said:
Sure, we are tense and frustrated but rightly so imo. The longer you wait between reveals and such, the quicker the negativity sets in which is not good for anybody especially in a place like this.
Would just like some closure that's all...

I live in the mountains, that's why I fail to see anything wrong with the colours here. On an average day (especially at dawn and nightfall) you have the weirdest saturation mixes on different locales. After a rainfall sometimes you see the valley below drenched in sunlight, while your area is still dark as hell.

Look again at where the shadows come from. This part is supposed to be darker than the valley below. It might look strange from this angle, or for people who've never been to the mountains, but it looks about right from the lightning.

I understand, and that's why I try to avoid official threads for games that I await as good as possible. The usual dynamics of nerds getting excited about an upcoming game is unhealthy as it only creates surreal expectations (in both the game and marketing flow)
I personally hope they decide to add weather and different light conditions on future DLC tracks. Having that would only increase the challenge and longevity of the game for me. Nothing like trying to survive aqua planing on a mountain road^^

I think you guys are reading way too much into the lack of media and info.
I bet we'll be overwhelmed by the amount of SP and MP content and everything in between honestly.
The core of the gameplay got juicier, the lighting got much better, the car porn be it autovista and homespace and new big shot exporting will keep things fresh and track detail got a bump up! And don't forget the engine sound.
I don't think we'll be disappointed except maybe with the tracks available and that's it.
Stay positive and remember that you'll get alot out of this from all angles.
I can't fucking wait.
I'm still as giddy as fuck since the game was announced.

They act like that, because Turn 10 doesn't communicate with them.acm2000 said:with the way you drama queens act in this thread, is it any wonder turn10 dont communicate with us direct anymore?

Has it been mentioned already in the thread:
This weeks WIR has been cancelled because Dan is at the Euro event. Announced on Facebook earlier.
So everyone looks forward to the WIR, they announce a few hours before it's due that there aint gonna be one and we're expected just to pass it off
Direct Vids of some of the already announced tracks please?

:lol, there's still a month to go before release, still plenty of time. Everybody relax. If the pacing of information seems a little janky and communication seems nonexistent it's because the community manager is a figment of our imagination and Microsoft don't have a marketing department.
See? It's simple when you break it down.

Thanks Blim
Don't shoot me down, but I'm actually looking forward to playing Forza Kinect with my little en, she loves driving on Forza.

They don't have a community manager. It's as simple as that. They may have a listing on a corporate page and he might be able to put it on his future resume, but he doesn't exist.
I'm over it ... I don't give a shit what they announce at this point. It's been "Oooooooh, just wait ... you'll be excited!" for like a month now. Fuck it. I WANT A DEMO! But I'm not going to get my hopes up for some super secret unannounced feature I would be looking forward to.
I agree with what one said about expectations and ours is pretty high, especially seeing how another game turned out after countless years of production and even more years of producing this type of game.
My only problem right now is if I'll be able to get CSP's before the launch ... damn you car fixes! Damn you to hell! Real car took my fake car money!

thanks...you did your best
bernese alps again and kinect only is a joke.
They appear to have scaled back their TGS presence quite a lot (still waiting for Super GT stuff, drifters love and more...) which is a bit worrying.
But you have to remember we're probably still getting those announcements in video form today.
Garage reveals were put on hold for some special 'reveal', this week we should be getting a look at Laguna (probably during the race held this weekend, as with Road America)
Other than that, the lack of media and informations is really only perceived as such by us forza fanboys in the thread, really, and in comparison with forza 3 launch.
That had a lot more pictures and the odd trailers thrown in, but that was more the exception than the rule.
