Correct me if I'm wrong, but Project Cars has variable time-of-day, dynamic clouds and dynamic weather, whereas Forza currently has none of these?

Graphics thread. This is a terrible post.
All of the Volvos have graphics, whereas the Volvos in Project Cars do not have any graphics! In your face!!

I forgot you can't ask questions, or jokes, about an xbox title. keep on bullying.
This post would not hold up in court.
Oh c'mon. That response was clearly not serious.

So what? I understand that this is a graphics thread but dynamic clouds? How is that affecting the game in anyway? Is it a cloud racer?
Correct me if I'm wrong but F6 has 3D puddles whereas PC have none right? F6 also has over 450 cars to drive on these tracks that are lacking "dynamic clouds" whereas PC has..?

I was confused when the poster said "time of day they picked for Forza" (as if they added TOD choice) when there's no choice that could effect sky view/colour. I guess I made a mistake saying "compared to PCars" for people to jump on.
The effect looks definitely off on FM6 footage. Also I don't think a R8 would shake that much. All PCars cars looks (shake and sound) like a old racing car.

The best arcade racer I've played since Motorstorm Apocalypse (loved it), is Driveclub. I actually bought an xb1 for FH2 a few months ago and was pretty disappointed. I really thought the world would be more fun but it wasn't to me. I also thought Storm Island would be sick but it was just as bland if not more so than the FH2 world.
Current Gen (released since 2013)
Best graphics = Driveclub - Runner up = PCARS (PC)
Best arcade racer = Driveclub - Runner up = NFS Rivals (sue me, me and my friends loved this)
Best sim = DiRT Rally
I like you.
Is such a thing possible lol?

Fog, maybe bokeh DOF? Game was missing bokeh when came out. Don`t know if it was patched in later.
Real thing seems to move around a fair bit depending on conditions and camera. Project Cars interior motion appears to be more realistic based on these.

I hope some of the visual improvements is some nice AF 
Not talking about photo mode. But like i said, don`t have ps4 even. It is what i`ve seen from screenshots only.

It's in some of the intro pans as well, not in game though.

Just a little of drive club that isn't in the rain.
For and mist I'd mentioned ages ago as something that would add hugely to the visuals, especially around Scotland and Canada. A few peeps have said they're hoping for 60fps but that just ain't happening. They could have an improved AA method but I wouldn't class that as something we'd "LOVE". So I'll go with mist/fog.

In my experience with the WebM userscript this method still loads the GIF as it simply hides it from view rather than disabling it from loading.
Perhaps there are newer versions of the userscript/addon that change this behavior. May test it again to be sure, give me a sec.
Test: Yup, GIF still loads in the background.

Forza looks good by itself, but man it doesn't hold up well in comparison videos. The lighting is just too sterile, for lack of a better word. Something about the way the game builds the environments is just too clean.

I would say
Driveclub PS4 - Best graphics / Best track based arcade racer
Project cars PC - Best sim
FH2 X1 - Best open world arcade racer
I actually remember Driver San Fransisco as well as Midnight Club LA having 900 degree rotations. Not sure if any other recent game besides Driveclub has it though or at least this detailed.

Maybe better AA/AF? Volumetric fog? Storms?Is such a thing possible lol?

I know that pCARS has 900º animations when using a wheel, but not with pad input, I believe. Assetto Corsa will have it as well when it comes to consoles.

Imagine, 60fps... BOOM, best looking game this gen !!!

Thats amazing. Is the video on youtube, too? Nobody clicks on vid.me links when you share them.
Damn @1:47
Sorry I don't know how to make high quality gifs
Edit: Something I noticed in the comparison vid:
At 2:10 if you look at the black bar below the window left from the driver.
In Driveclub you see it lit up with a light slightly flickering green touch because of light reflected from trees you drive by.
In Forza its just plain black.
These are subtle differences, but its a huge difference in the quality and capability of the lighting tech.
Holy crap, they look generations apart in this gif.

Wat the wat. HOW.
Honestly, on playing FM6 last night. The whole floaty car thing just doesn't look the same on the TV. It looks fine.?
Can't say about the Xbox version, but PCars keeps 60 FPS most of the time on PS4, with some frame dips and some tearing here and there. It is said that it looks like the PC version on high settings. It's not an ugly game in any way, but I believe that people got really pissed with it because of bugs and weird design problems it has.

Looked at the comparisons between Forza 6 and DriveClub, and while F6 is definitely more fluid (60 vs 30 fps), DriveClub has a better sense of speed. Does that sound weird?
Motion blur is the reason behind this. FM games don't have much.

No, it doesn't sound weird. It's an illusion created by adding density of environmental assets so close to the tracks. The more you add, the more it gives it a sense of speed. That's why chase scenes in cities always look more exciting than chase scenes in the desert or any other open space. Things close up appear to move faster than things farther away.

Being a tiny gif helps it a bit but looks good nonetheless.Just a little of drive club that isn't in the rain.
I seriously need to buy this game a play the shit out of it (loved the Plus Edition).

I highly doubt it's going to be 60fps like some here are suggesting. It'll probably be another effect (like mirages/weather/rainbows previously). I'm hoping for fog! Bring some of those volumetric clouds down to the road!!!Is such a thing possible lol?

Yeah, better AA/AF and atmospheric effects I reckon.

Personally i would like them to focus on better AA first. If they can clean the image even more it will look incredible. I remember some footage floating around before the launch with super clean visuals (from a spanisch spoken video on driveclub). Looked very tasty.
Edit Found the footage although not the original spanisch spoken video:
