I'd honestly say FM4 is the best looking racer on any platform (GT5's best in a close second, disregarding photo mode). Even if they get the lighting right, PC racers never have comparabe car models.

Nope.

In game, interesting angle to display a game. Eh?

Show an actual in game pic featuring a tacometer or a map.

You could just use 'youtube'

And you can get into the beta, or alpha (what ever stage its in, I'm not following it) by paying $ now.

Another, you can see 'in' the break discs!

- if you buy the game now you can play the beta. Visit the PC forum, we have users posting their screens every day

- you can turn the HUD off and take screens at any angle you want

- most people on this forum know of the game and it's technical achievements, being ignorant of it doesn't give you the ability to call them bullshots

more salt for the wound

[QUOTE="Inconsistancy"][QUOTE="Zlychop"]

Only diehard hermits really care about 30 fps or full 1080p gaming honestly.

Console games look good enough considering what they are ran on.

Graphics cards can cost more than a console itself.

Think about that.

Zlychop

The GPU's in the Consoles cost more than the consoles themselves at launch too. Subsidized hardware. And an 80$ GPU today can put the consoles to shame.

Even console only gamers notice the difference of 30 and 60 FPS, I've heard people say ~"CoD just feels smoother than other shooters..."

While that $80 GPU is stronger than the GPU in consoles, the games will still run worse on it. Console coding is directly to the metal;. PC isn't so cards that should run games better they can, don't.

Console coding to metal doesn't start imidiately.It takes a few years for devs to start implementing it properly...

Note the difference in visuals between lauch titles,and 2009+ titles.That's the proof you need...

By the time devs start coding directly to metal,PC is already miles ahead of console graphics...

And no,coding to metal doesn't magically turn console GPUs to 580 GTXs,just to let you know.In fact,a 8800GTX,an aged 2006 GPU released at the same time as the PS3 can still play modern games at console-like settings,or better...

My friend replaced his last year...

If your standards on the PC are 720p w/ 30 FPS,you won't be upgrading often,that's for sure...

Still, technically isn't out yet though it looks like it could effortlessly take the title when it is. Forza remains until then.

Forza at the end of the day will look slightly worse but it will be the way better game lol. Project CARS looks like a generic track sim, similar to the GTR series. Nice to look at, boring to play. Who wins?

Don't even need to read or acknowledge the rest of your post,you failed right at the start :lol:

Also,my fav racing games this Gen were GRID and Dirt series.For something more "wacky",I pick Hot Pursuit and Burnout Paradise...

I think I'll like CARS just fine...

How did I miss this absolute gem of a thread? :|

Seems like things went the same way as usual though.It is starting to seem like hermits are easily rustled and baited into troll threads though. But then again it's starting to seem like more and more console gamers are becoming trolls round here as the gen winds down.

I wish a day would come when one of these threads pops up and gets like 5 hits :P

Who wins? The pople that actually want a proper racing simulator instead of pseudo racing "sims" like Forza or GT.

And slightly? :lol:

Boring for you maybe or to someone who has the attention span of a 5 year old. Project cars is a pure racing sim through and through and takes a LOT of practice and hours to get good at. It's fun for the people who want that type of game, no one buys it for a quick racing fix.

Project cars is to racing games as Arma II is to shooting games. Big, deep, rich with a crap load of features and a steep learning curve

The only way to make it more accessible is through a control scheme but the controls are already fairly simple and expected. It's the actual physics in the car's handling that makes it a steep learning curve. Each car handles very differently and if you try to play it like Forza you will spin your car out all the time. The cars are like real cars. Put a noob behind the wheel of a powerhouse F1 car and he tries to take off he will just burnout and hit a wall. But put a practiced person behind and they can run rings around people

[QUOTE="superclocked"]Xenos > X1900XT (unified shader architecture, FP processors coupled with the eDRAM)
7800GTX > RSX (half the memory bandwith, less ROP's)

Besides that, it's actually the fact that exclusive games are coded for one particular hardware set that makes them run so well...Inconsistancy


eDRAM is used for MSAA, Crysis2 uses temporal AA

The video I linked is a 1950pro doing what can't be done by the consoles, and it's 'weaker' than the x1900xt

--------(pixel:vertex:rop)----------
1800xt--- 16:8:16 @625
1950pro 36:8:12 @ 575mhz
1900xt-- 48:8:16 @ 625mhz
"Xenos"-- 48:u:8 @ 500mhz

The eDRAM is used for MSAA, Crysis2 uses TemporalAA.

The (old) ATi gpu's are better in plenty of areas than the "Xenos" is, though it's better in some areas. They can't be compared exactly 1:1.

And you're comparing old ass hardware which is pretty moot. Also you said 'consoles' are suprerior and the "RSX" is clearly cutdown below its 2005 nvidia counterparts.

And since PS3 came out in 2006, and so did the nvidia 8800, which still crushes current gen consoles in all areas...

lol, what? Seriously, I have no clue what point you're trying to make here, and I have no clue what video you're talking about. I was responding the first message. And I did not say that consoles are superior, LOL.. I'm a PC gamer btw, but I do know a good bit about the consoles. The eDRAM has 192 floating point processors attached with insane bandwidth that can perform any number of functions, not just anti-aliasing...

The eDRAM has 192 floating point processors attached with insane bandwidth that can perform any number of functions, not just anti-aliasing...

The 192 "pixel processors" are responsible for ROP-related operations. 192 processors are use for color, alpha compositing, Z/stencil buffering, and anti-aliasing(MSAA).

From Beyond3D...

Despite references to 192 processing elements in to the ROP's within the
eDRAM we can actually resolve that to equating to 8 pixels writes per cycle,
as well as having the capability to double the Z rate when there are no
colour operations. However, as the ROP's have been targeted to provide 4x
Multi-Sampling FSAA at no penalty this equates to a total capability of 32
colour samples or 64 Z and stencil operations per cycle.

Modern PC GPU also has specialized ROP related hardware for the above e.g. 16X MSAA @1080p.

eDRAM is used for MSAA, Crysis2 uses temporal AA

The video I linked is a 1950pro doing what can't be done by the consoles, and it's 'weaker' than the x1900xt

--------(pixel:vertex:rop)----------
1800xt--- 16:8:16 @625
1950pro 36:8:12 @ 575mhz
1900xt-- 48:8:16 @ 625mhz
"Xenos"-- 48:u:8 @ 500mhz

The eDRAM is used for MSAA, Crysis2 uses TemporalAA.

The (old) ATi gpu's are better in plenty of areas than the "Xenos" is, though it's better in some areas. They can't be compared exactly 1:1.

And you're comparing old ass hardware which is pretty moot. Also you said 'consoles' are suprerior and the "RSX" is clearly cutdown below its 2005 nvidia counterparts.

And since PS3 came out in 2006, and so did the nvidia 8800, which still crushes current gen consoles in all areas...

lol, what? Seriously, I have no clue what point you're trying to make here, and I have no clue what video you're talking about. I was responding the first message. And I did not say that consoles are superior, LOL.. I'm a PC gamer btw, but I do know a good bit about the consoles. The eDRAM has 192 floating point processors attached with insane bandwidth that can perform any number of functions, not just anti-aliasing...

192 processors are use for color, alpha compositing, Z/stencil buffering, and anti-aliasing(MSAA).

Modern PC GPU also has specialized hardware for the above.

Out of all the posts here, I like yours the most :) It's nice to see solid facts in SW, however rare it may be...

How did I miss this absolute gem of a thread? :|

Seems like things went the same way as usual though.It is starting to seem like hermits are easily rustled and baited into troll threads though. But then again it's starting to seem like more and more console gamers are becoming trolls round here as the gen winds down.

I wish a day would come when one of these threads pops up and gets like 5 hits :P

Baited? I just enjoy these threads. :)

It's on the first page.

"NEC designed eDRAM die includes additional logic (192 parallel pixel processors) for color, alpha compositing, Z/stencil buffering, and anti-aliasing called Intelligent Memory, giving developers 4-sample anti-aliasing at very little performance cost."

And lastly, My bad for mistaking you for the TC.

Still, technically isn't out yet though it looks like it could effortlessly take the title when it is. Forza remains until then.

Consoles are more optimized but they aren't superior in any way. Once you game on PC, you can't really go back to consoles because 75% of console games look straight trash. I tried playing BF3 MP on PS3 and I wanted to stab myself in the eye balls. Nonstop-Madness

I recently gave up on PC gaming. I used to have a GTX 580 in my i7-3820 system and used to mainly play on PC. I sold my GTX 580, and bought a Radeon HD 6450 with passive cooling and ended up with about $160 leftover, not counting the $15 rebate for my HD 6450. I own a PS3 and an Xbox 360 and they fill my gaming purposes just fine. I know I'm giving up graphics quality and frame rate for simplicity, less bugs, and no dealing with DRM. If I ever decide to return to PC gaming, the only thing I would have to change in my system would be the graphics card but I can't see myself returning to PC gaming any time soon. Most games are multiplatform anyways and PC hardly get's exclusives anymore, and the exclusives that I have for the PC I got bored of them.

I use FRAPS or DXtory depending on the game. I use Virtualdub to compress my videos.

But the details.... Forza has an emphasis on cars and it shows. Models and the overall visual presentation are unmatched.

Do I need to logon to Origin to play EA games on my consoles? No

Is there a console game that requires me to be online for single player? No

Is there a console game that requires me to create an account with the publisher in order to play it? No

If someone here mentions online passes in many consoles games to play multiplayer online, that doesn't count as DRM in my eyes.

There's a reason why AMD plans to include ARM based hardware security into all future AMD APUs.

Current Intel processors already includes hardware security but they are not used it like a console OS.

With Intel processors, Microsoft can lock the x86 PC into an Xbox i.e zero freedom, Apple style dictatorship/close box/garden wall.

Windows 8 already has Xbox type "garden wall" i.e. refer to Windows 8 RT ARM version. Windows 8 X86 version has this feature disabled (for now) i.e. thanks AMD for not including DRM hardware (different from blu-ray hardware DRM).

Because this threat exist, companies such as Valve is already looking at Linux X86.

Be careful what you wish for.

Maybe in photomode the cars have great detail but they lose a lot quality compared to non photo mode. And the backgrounds are pretty bad and really hurt the overall visuals of the game with the cars having more detail than anything else. Like I said, most PC racing games look a lot better than console racing games.

I'm not a proponent of using videos and screenshots as proof of a games visuals (nothing beats first hand experience), but come on, the environents are fine. Great, even.

I have NFS: Hot Pursuit and GRID on the PC, and I have to agree that Forza looks better. The backgrounds and distant terrain are almost photorealistic, so I'm not sure what you meant there. The foliage, cars, buildings, almost everything looks better in Forza IMO.. The lack of anisotropic filtering and occasional blurry textures were the only things that I noticed visually wrong with the game. But the gameplay more than makes up for it. Having an infinite number of flashbacks is cheesy, but I only use a flashback if I crash on the last lap or get wrecked by an ai car...

Well I have to disagree Need for Speed Hot Pursuit has much much better backgrounds and the cars also look better. Forza 4 has cardboard backgrounds with cardboard trees and flat buildings. So we will have to agree to disagree.

I'm beginning to think that you haven't actually played Forza. The buildings are not flat at all. They're completely 3D, down to the railings on balconies. The amount of little 3D details and scenery is insane compared to NFS. And the backgrounds consist of almost photorealistic 3D terrain. They're not cardboard like at all. The foliage is better than Hot Pursuit as well. Then there is the HDR lighting. Hot Pursuit looked good for it's day, but graphically, it does not compare to Forza on any level whatsoever...
