Need For Speed Shift deserves a nod graphics-wise (possible 56K)

I'm not that much of a graphics whore, and I know GT5 is what almost everyone's hyping in terms of photorealistic driving, but after seeing a couple of trailers for NFS:S, I cant help but think GT5 may have some stiff competition in the graphical spectrum of racing. What do the rest of you think?

Are any of your pics 56K-unfriendly by any chance? If so, I need to modify my title.

Probably, do it just in case. Pictures are from Gamespot.

NFS Shift looks really good, but GT5 will obviously look better. Hell even GT5 Prologue looks better lol

Shift does look good. Say what you will about EA, graphics wise they usually do some great things. Gameplay doesn't always hold up, but that is for a different topic.

Shift is as good as, and in some ways better than, GT5. I have played GT5:P and it is hard to tell the differences (going only by screenshots) between the two games. Although, I would have to give the edge to Shift because it clearly has damage modeling, something GT5:P does not.

Of course, all this is assuming those screens of Shift are from one of the console versions of the game and not the PC version.

I know i'll need a flame-shield, but i'm calling bullshots on the GT5 pictures. The game looks awesome, definately, but every screen i see of it is just ridiculous. I didn't know the PS3 was capable of 12xAA.

They're from Gamespot's screenshots. I doubt GS would go through the trouble of touching up PS3 game photos.

Im excited for NFS Shift. Visually and gameplay wise it looks like it can play with the big dogs. The only question marks are the amount of content, cars, tracks, and level of customization it will have in comparison to FM and GT

Gamespot doesn't have to touch it up. Polyphony could give them touched up pictures, and Gamespot most likely wouldn't even know the difference at first glance. I'm not saying for certainty that the screens are touched up, but they wouldn't have to have been touched up by Gamespot if they are.

True. GS does have screen capture devices though, so I would think that somewhere in the GT5 section they would have their own screenshots...I would think....lol But yeah what you're saying is possible. Those pics do seem to have a bit of extra AA goin on, but then again so do those NFS:Shift pics from the in-car view. I dunno...we'll just have to wait until 2057 when GT5 releases to know for sure. :P

The car and track list for NFS Shift is pretty underwhelming compared to it's competition, but hopefully it's still enough to make it worthwhile

gt5 just just all shiny, that nissan in shift looks better with the extra dirt detail and has a more realistic look. gt5 is like lots of super shiny perfect looking car, they don't look like real cars.

Ah, yeah it looks OK I guess, but GT5 will surpass it I'd say. Plus graphics don't mean crap if the game sucks.
