Sure it's garbage. Do you have some FH3 static gameplay shots too? Of course not.

I think this is a fair assessment. All of them can look stunning or poor, and you have to take it all in a whole. That said FH3 needs to look good everywhere since you can go everywhere, while DC and Forza don't as you are confined to track. Pointing out that off-track areas look bad in fly-overs is the definition of "behind-the-barn" things.

Eh, if I did I'd just be accused of cherry picking anyway right??
But I do have ugly Driveclub shots to backup my claim
That first screen is pretty similar to what I saw when I'd stop my car and look around. I haven't played the game in a while, but it could look really rough sometimes.

Lol this thread is nothing but a loop. When FH3 releases we'll see if it truely is the best looking racer as some are already claiming.
Backup your claim that Driveclubs looks garbage compared to FH3. Right!
They will. You can cherry pick some shitty looking Uncharted 4 shots despite it being one of the best looking games of all time.
Also, here's a blast from the past comparison
We all know that Forza 6 doesn't actually look that bad 99% of the time.
And people expect an open world version of this engine to deliver results above driveclub.
On a 1.3Tflop system...
Ok.

You ever actually stopped and looked at Driveclub??
Garbage compared to Forza Horizon 3.
Your post is just embarrassing.
Driveclub isn't running on a PC btw.
I made a lot of gifs this past week. ...and videos....and screenshots. LOL
Lovely, went back last night to play some storm island and maybe try to go for 100%
Game still looks absolutely gorgeous

Last one almost is. 1 or 2 hours forward. Unless you think that must be precise 12 hours.

Yes. Absolutely. Driving through the forest in FH3 from what I've seen looks way more impressive than anything I've seen in Driveclub.. gifs or still screens. :shrug:
You'll get your pictures when I can take them for you.. don't worry.

What exactly is embarrassing about my post? Besides those pictures of Driveclub that is.
And what is your point by telling me DriveClub isn't running on PC btw?

I think they're trying to say that Horizon 3 IS running on a PC which it isn't in the direct capture and photos we've seen.

Damage controlling early I see. Neat.
I still don't see what's embarrassing or wrong about my post... all I see is that you're mad about it for some reason. Truth hurts I'm assuming.
Wait, now I'm honestly confused. We have HQ video of the whole first segment of that demo on both PC and standard XB1 for comparison, and the stage demo during the conference showed the two versions side-by-side.
What are you saying?
Driveclub has low points. The AA solution leaves a lot to be desired, some rough texture-work, foliage can look weird outside of gameplay because it's mostly 2D, AF is low, and middle of the day is not NICE looking (by virtue of having a realistic lighting system).
Its high points overshadow other racing games. Lighting, foliage in gameplay, rain on the car, rain shaders, volumetric clouds, sense of speed (for a 30fps game), etc.
What kind of frustrates me I guess about this thread, is people are SO hesistant to be at all critical of the game THEY prefer. You never hear the Forza people being critical of anything of Forza, you never hear the Driveclub people being critical of anything in Driveclub. Yet they have no problem being critical of the other games. Games are never perfect, and in a discussion of graphics, you have to try to be somewhat objective. Driveclub can look AMAZING, better than anything else at many times, but it's got problems, too!

Exactly. Everything is a game of defence.
Lol which track is that?

The future is now.
Xbox one, Xbox one S or Xbox one project Scorpio?
I'm trying to remember, it could have been Silverstone? I had to break everything three-ways from Sunday to get it to look like that.
Scorpio can't handle these graphics, lol

Well the thing is it's direct overhead sunlight, no weather or clouds, where it doesn't look great. It's lighting and weather effects that look great in that game.

Lol that's terrible. Still, even Forza Horizon usually looks a lot better than that. Just not on par with Driveclub obviously (especially in lighting).
Right. DC doesn't have best AA solution.
,
Yep!
Yep
Yep
Em....nope.
3rd gif is in direct sunlight with clouds. There would be a difference at direct sunlight without clouds? No!
The future is now.
That's quite bad.
It's an LOD issue lol. Photomode + 20x zoom or something from a distance. The LOD in FM photomode can do weird things.
What truth? You tried to prove that DC looks like garbage compared to FH3 without posting FH3 static gameplay images.

lol I didn't even see FH3, all I know is that saying that Driveclub looks like garbage tells everething I need to know about you.
I was under the impression all MS games were presented on PC, if that isn't the case my mistake.
I have no interest in playing any other game aside from GT at this point, I'm as far from mad about this as anyone could be.

No. I said FH3 looks better to me... then when people called me out on my opinion I attempted to show them what DC really looks like.. since they post the same old gifs every single time someone dares to have a different opinion of the almighty Driveclub.
I'm able to say that FH3 looks better than Driveclub. You're able to disagree. I don't really care. I'll post FH3 screens when I can... stay tuned.
You came through with your own agenda. Let's be honest. There are PLENTY of gameplay screenshots that look great and you posted, honestly, some of the worse gameplay screenshots I've seen. It's okay to think FH3 looks better, but don't attempt to prove it with petty methods.

Well, I shouldn't have to prove anything. Of course when people challenge my opinion with shiny 700x300 gifs, I rebut in my own way.
So what's the point of this thread? The all racing games can look amazing and terrible at the same time.. let's all sing Kumbaya?
lol
Well this thread took a turn.
Oooof.
It's quite amusing
Just on account of the more limited scope, you're probably right (maybe a little early, mind you), but those seem like SSR effects. The effect is good, but it's not high-tech in a way that other engines can't handle, it's more that it only works at some angles.

Now we have GTS direct feed video, where are the FM6 Nurburgring & Brands Hatch comparisons guys?!
anyway shaders reflections on the cars body will not be as good on FH3,
or many other effects such as heat mirages
The Forza games already have heat haze. I think even Forza 5 from 2013 has it...or am I thinking of something else (Horizon 2 maybe). It wouldn't surprise me if it's in Horizon 3.
I see the mirrors in DC also reflect right through the cars.
That poor man.

FH3 may not have volumetric clouds but they still look among the best I've ever seen in a game.
new discipline, time lapse battle XD

The point of this thread is to condense all the "bullshit" graphics discussions into this thread, instead of having them in each and every other thread about a racing game.
