Forza 4 Vs. Gran Turismo 5 graphics: Top Gear Test Track

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9469de5FPxc

Is it me... Or is GT5 looking really sterile in this comparison? 2D trees goes without saying though.Shadow jaggies seem harsher in GT5 too.

Viewing on a LCD monitor?

That's really weird... GT 5 looks so much better than that video when I play it. I must've gotten a defective copy. :roll:

WOW, when did the Top Gear test track get the shiny plastic asphalt, like in Forza 4??

It's called the sun reflecting off the road. Go outside and look for yourself.

It will be a while before we get any direct feed HD comparisons, but that video clearly shows the difference in lighting and the movement of each in cockpit view. All I can say is after playing GT5 pretty extensively, the direct feed gameplay footage I've seen of FM4 has completely blown GT5 out of the water in the graphics (like this one at 4:50 in: http://youtu.be/-Zsuz5F_9NU?t=4m50s).daviwinn

Agreed. I really need more FM4 info to get hyped even more :D

top gear track doesn't use asphalt?

Sun glare doesn't exist in gt5.

Forza 4 seems to have better shadow quality in the cockpit

Amazing that FM4 is even surpassing GT5 in the graphics depatment too.

Ehh, I was talking about the top gear test track, not some random road somewhere. It just looks like they are making it more shiny to make it look better, rather than making it realistic. I have no doubt that overall Forza 4 will look better than GT5. Martin_G_N

The video I posted disagrees. Forza 4 has the premium car GT5 detail and shaders,better shadow detailAND detailed environments. Plus with the added effect of lighting glistening off the cars. An effect last seen in Sega GT.

Look at the trees on that track... Not only are they in3D... They sway in the wind. It makes the track look alive and less sterile.

can anyone spot the Huge Plane in the Forza version?

both times it didn't pop up, where as GT5 it is plain to see. :|

Well I posted a higher quality comparison... And the difference is quite evident.

I might have to pick up a cheap as used 360 to play this game. It will be the only game I get for the console haha.

i assume the people crying for better quality videos aren't hoping GT5 to look any better, have you actually driven around TTGTT in GT5? Better quality video comparisons will only make the difference more obvious :?

oh no wait you can see it in this clip:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy2Bc5aK9Mc&feature=related

although it does seem to be lacking the horrendously low render quality seen in GT5 such as the near-hexagonal engines, but i guess we'll have to make do :(

well, good thing you have never criticized GT5 with any nitpicking.....where as I see alot of Forza fans who do.

besides, wasn't trying to nitpick...I think the fact I couldn't notice the huge plane on the track from that initial footage proves a point some in here have tried to make. That footage is not a good comparison for either game.

thankx racing1750 for the video.

GT5

In this comparison the Ferrari 458 in GT5 doesn't blend into the track well. Sun glares should be reflecting off the road too. Of course, the track appears to look more flat in GT5. There are impressive tracks in GT5 though, like Madrid and London for example.

The Top Gear Track IS a Premium GT5 track. Since it was created specifically for GT5, like Madrid and London, or Tokyo.

not all pavement shines........especially not the top gear track. You would know this if you actually watched the show.

Typical forza overgloss confirmed.

You've got it wrong. GT5 is true to the track.

Observe the video below.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdAz2sbUm3E

The track is grey and gets greyer in the sun. The asphalt there is nowhere near as dark and shiny as Forza 4's.

[QUOTE="PernicioEnigma"] ashpalt reflects some light, so they've got it right. GT5 on the other hand has no reflections at all, which is unrealistic. If you don't believe me, go outside on a sunny day day and look at roads, the smoother the better.navyguy21
