How do i know? Using forza 4's car meshes here people have created Real time renders of Forza 4's car meshes in real world environments. Goes to prove how outdated not only forza's lighting is, but also shows consoles aging. But props to T10 for fitting 500 of these models in under 2 DVD's.          In comparison here is my FM4/GT5 gallery.

I love Forza but I will admit the lighting on the cars look a little strange. They reflect almost too much and it makes the cars look like plastic toys on the brighter tracks. But overall the game still looks incredible. I personally think it is the best looking console game. I have actually put GT5 and Forza 3 (Not 4) side by side and Forza 3 looked better in almost every way except the premium cars on GT5. So I am guessing Forza 4 makes GT5 look flat out sad. I can't play GT5 anymore. It is boring as hell.

Is he sure that it has amazing car models? I'd say he is, not really sure how a bunch of pictures from other games would change his mind about that...

No, because you immediately decided to bash a PS3 exclusive :| Also, "best looking console game"? I think not! :x

Well to me it is. Have you ever seen me hype a 360 game because of its graphics? No. But in my opinion Forza 4 is the best looking console game out. Killzone 3 and Blazblue are next in line for me. Its called opinions. And since I have had both systems, My opinion is more than sufficient.

Yep. The lighting is the only thing holding Forza back since its car models are, more often than not, more detailed than their GT5 counterparts (and no, I'm not including standards in this comparison for obvious reasons) but GT5 looks better in stills and replays because of its superior lighting.

Forza 4 has some amazing visuals, but you can easily tell it's lacking in the AA and post processing/lighting department. That is the only area where GT5 really beats Forza in. The lighting in GT5 looks much more natural and you can tell it's running at a higher resolution.

Free milk did you even see my gallery? Loads of GT5 shots i've taken. Also having played both Dirt 3 and F1 2011 its not hard to realise that they're so detailed because there are so few cars in either game, around 35 in dirt 3 and the standard 12(x2 for grid) in f1 2011

someone needs to do a serious comparison because to my understanding GT5 literally has the best car models of this gen while Forza has better looking environments and car models that are almost on par but never better.

I have played them both side by side. Even switched consoles on the TV's. Aside from GT's premium car models, Forza beats it in every way. GT5 uses the same grass textures on every track. They copied and pasted way to much so on most real-world tracks you can't tell them apart during a day race. Forza has better tracks, better environments handling is just what your taste is like, Forza has a much better career structure, better options better use of the Top Gear license, and much better extras like the liveries and store. Plus overall Forza looks better by a good margin.

Sure. And it is 94 degree's in Antarctica. If Forza sucks then all street racers do since they are all basically the same thing with only a few things to make them stand apart from each other..

I am not arguing. I am stating what I know. Comparing pics is like comparing SD Youtube videos. It does not do the comparison justice.

I think Halo Reach looks good as well (Not Forza 4 good), but I really hate the light film grain they used.
