No points to prove here, I just took this shot and thought it came out nicely. Forza 7.

Nice

I will say this, the shaders for all the mentioned racing games doesn't hold a candle to Drive clubs. Dozens of texture layers are used to alter SSR/reflections versus a flat base + cube maps. I am disappointed in PD for what seems like a lazy attempt given the competition. No tire flex like drive club, total non interaction for the environments, no cloud movement (which GT5/6 had) and to boot low resolution sky boxes.

Just them slapping a real life picture on polys does not constitute technical prowess, just a good eye.

Yeah lazy Devs. Except you forget Driveclub runs at 30fps. If your so skilled maybe you could lead a team and make the perfect racing game at 60fps on limited hardware???? Easy right?

 

[John Wick]

Why do people who argue about colors and realism ignore the unique HDR and wide color implementation of GTS? or is it that they have not really tried the game? the difference in a good screen is huge in realism compared to any other car game. This is not seen in gifs, game captures or yt vids.

There wouldn't be an argument if half of the people arguing against actually had a HDR TV in the first place or even had a TV calibrated properly and seen the games first hand instead of relying on dodgy YT videos as an argument basis

It's well known from previous threads your an Xbox and Forza guy. I don't know why you feel the need to justify yourself at the start of your post? That usually shows the true nature of the post.

I think you're reading a little too far into it there. I was stating that there's nothing to prove because this thread has been particularly "active" in the past few days with the GTS demo flaring things up. I just happened to take a photo that I really liked and wanted to show it off.

Spoiler

Also, I play Forza on PC and probably haven't booted an Xbox in about a year

Have a seat dude, i never said "lazy devs". You forget DC runs a good bit higher than 30 fps.

War is truly raging on, keep forgetting that this isn't the original thread, at this rate we'll enter the third thread on this pointless fight.

 

[Synth]

And 60fps games tend to run a good bit higher than 60fps. And GTS is dealing with almost double the cars.

Easy to forget the ca4 count, true. Just wish for more dynamic things.

Driveclub managed a lot of variables all at once in a way that I think really sparked a lot of people's imagination. That kind of immersion makes the whole scene feel more exciting, regardless of moment-to-moment visuals.

It's true. They knew how what to put on the screen.

 

[KageMaru]

If you have an HDR tv you can youtube it for the time being.

I do have an HDR TV but would still prefer to play these games in person. Depending on the source of the video, the quality could be questionable. Though I'm sure there are some nice examples out there.

Yeah this is why I prefer to play these games.

I don't have the footage on this hard drive, but one of my favorite moments visually was just a mostly overcast scene in a snowy/icy scene, and a swath of sunlight cuts through the clouds and hits a section on the mountains in the background. It's brighter than anything in the foreground or play area, and it just feels cool. Zero effect on gameplay, but that random background activity just made this whole other layer to the experience.

Great shot, but Forza's generic brake calipers are horrendous.

I feel PD can do better though. Just look at gt 5/6

Would just like to say 'fuck Sony' again. Rest in peace, Driveclub.

Yeah, in general sun piercing a small hole through the clouds and shining on a mountain far far away in the distance are Driveclub's most awe inspiring moments.
I had hoped we'd see more stuff like that in open world titles this gen but it didn't happen.

Forza Horizon 3 | XB1, drone mode gameplay, replay

Noice. Definitely gonna have to get this. It's getting a One X update, right? Might trade in Forza 7 for it.

Yup yup, I was really glad when they confirmed that patch.

 

[blastprocessor]

The lighting looks cartoony in GTS, like how Forza 5 & 6 looked. Much prefer the Forza 7.

No

Maybe Horizon: ZD has moments like that? Haven't played enough of it to really know.

Awesome. God I hope taco bell doesn't disqualify me, haha.

 

[dragonfart28]

There's something about the cars in both GT and Forza that is slightly off to me.

In Forza it seems the polygonal complexity is slightly less. In GT, there's something about the lighting that makes them look like plastic, hot wheels cars.

 

[Momentary]

4K Forza 7 In-Game Wheel View running at 128FPS. Forza is working some serious magic with their AA solution. It's crazy how smooth edges look on this game while running so well.

You had plastic hot wheels?

My son has 100+ hot wheels cars. Plastic in all of them... Metal too, but the days of all metal hot wheels cars are long gone.

I know they have the plastic one's in the sets now I was more asking him/her if they grew up with the plastic Hot wheels as a joke.

What? The bodies are still typically all metal, it's just the chassis/interior that are not.

 

[Sebmugi]

Doesn't look like SSR to me, I can't see anything that appears to be Dynamic being reflected, the car itself being the main giveaway.

Are there any physics objects on the map such as cones or tire walls? If they're movable and reflected that'd be an easy way to check.

yes orange cones are dynamic and reflected on the ground .. i will make a screens ^^

 

[icecold1983]

This stuff really sticks out on 50" 4k screens. I actually moved from my 4k to my 40" 1080p and things aren't as distracting.

Note: I've only spent a few hours with the game and when it comes to actual racing I've only been doing the Driver Tests and the one Arcade race above.

I do love the lighting, I just wish the track assets were a bit nicer.

and in breaking news, a 1080p game upscaled to 4k looks worse than on a native display!!!!!! bbbbut what about the magic scaling improvement due to being an equal multiple!!!!

 

[onQ123]

Some have plastic bodies too

Are there any news regarding what will be upgraded? Is it 'only' a 4K patch?

Thought they said it'll be getting the assets too? but still 30 fps.

here is 2 screens that shows it .. and I made a small video that will arrive ..

They really nailed the lighting here. Looks like my usual commute in rain in the morning

 

[l2ounD]

I want to see this in VR, looks so nuts

They really need to increase the intensity of the tail lights, add some flare. It looks so flat.

You'd be throwing up. Still holding off on this expansion until X comes out.

Looks just like my commute this morning, actually. But yes, as MilkyJoe points out, the taillights are very flat.

I agree, unsure how it looks running on a HDR set but one thing that did impress me was the way that the lights on GT:S seemed to glow and dazzle in the rear view mirror.

I still love DRIVECLUBVR for all it's faults with image quality, when a car comes behind you and the whole headset lights up from the headlights from behind over the cockpit it's something you just don't get on a flat screen.

FH3 looks amazing and thinking I might need to get on my laptop.

The things I'd do for a pro patch with HDR on DriveClub.
Maybe they plan on doing one when they provide it for free (again) on PS Plus.
I'm sure they're planning that.
Right?

right?

 

[dc89]

A shot I took a while back in Horizon 3, just thought i'd share it.

 

[Noobcraft]

FH3 is a great time and it looks pretty great visually too, even on the base Xbox One. Can't wait for the One X patch.

GT S breaklights are really well done. I remember when people were asking for it in PC1, and when they patched it in with road reflections, everything just came to life.
