That won't happen. When it's all processed it looks like it switches to max LOD for the full draw distance and AA is bonkers. It take like 10 seconds to fully process 1 frame in photomode.
The gap is large but this is a really bad comparison as it's a sped up tiny 16fps .gif where you can barely make out any real detail, it's also not very flattering footage of FM6. In fact it's probably the worst rain section I've seen footage of, there's much better footage out there.
Yeah I can see that. I also remember Forza getting praise for it's saturation choices. Now with people wanting it to go for the lighting voodoo that Polyphony Digital practice I can see it being a letdown if it still looks a bit too much in the cartoon stylized side rather than the life like look side.
That said, the picture with the jeep hitting the tires look pretty good. The only thing that may breaks the illusion is the environment like the grass. I can tell it's a game just by the grass. There's also how the blur looks. Overcast has been a good way for the racing games to look life like. Such as the GT5 blue LFA picture on the ring.
Edit: all that said, remember, real life looks dull. The parts where Drive Club looks insane is when it have a lot of effects going on like the rain or the colors and things going on in the background, or just the awesome track decorations which helps with sense of speed. If Drive Club was on a normal track it would be dull unless Evo dressed it up with custom textures for each thing as they seem to have done in DC.
Man this stinking thing still looks so stinking good.
GT5 Nurburgring LFA photomode screenshot from replay. PD's lighting is something else. The houses in the background might be flat when you get up to them, but they have the correct colors to ground them into reality. There was a photo mode demo that had very flat buildings up close, but it still looked good.
haha yup I laughed first time I saw it it's like they searched through the whole game to find a stretch that looked as bland as possible with lighting that makes it look as ugly as possible. It's not easy to search spots where Driveclub looks bad though, it is THAT good-looking.
GT 5/6 look so good in stills but seeing it in motion I think kind of brings things back to reality. Low res reflections, shadow artifacts, popup(?), and an uneven framerate when you default to 1080p.GT5 Nurburgring LFA photomode screenshot from replay. PD's lighting is something else.

Are my shots not showing up???
The worst thing about the F6 gif is it looks disconnected from the road like its floatingI think the lighting is what makes the difference in the Gifs, DC just looks more grounded in the world around while the car in FM6 just looks too bright. Probably just a poor combination of factors make it look worse than the majority of the game but it is striking difference between the two.
Framerate isn't going to save that comparison. And I'm a huge framerate whore.
The real world is dull sometimes too
1. Makes dodgy claim about all shadows blurred on road in Forza 6.
2. Gets shown evidence that proves otherwise.
3. Grudgingly acknowledges he was wrong.
4. Shifts focus, and claims no matter, they look so artificial anyway.
5. Initial point made now justified. Agenda back on track.
News for you, sir. They are artificial. None of it is real. Its smoke and mirrors, artificially created to pass for something resembling real world. And to most people, they do a great job. Obviously not to Mr Ray Trace
To be fair, that is one GIF of a single snippet from a larger comparison video. There are several now, including other GIF's that compare the games, also taken from a different video as well.
Like this one.
And also this one from the Driveclub vs Project Cars comparison video.
