Misinterpreted by some here

He doesnt mean what he appears to be saying... I take it that he means that the conditions, lighting, mood etc in the game are better than you get in real life most days.

Pretty much every game is better than reality by that measure. Gran Turismo 1 sure is as it was always a nice day with perfect lighting in that game.

He doesnt mean it look more real than real life... thats impossible anyway.

So what he's saying is that GT5 doesn't have weather effects other than the sun?

 

That could be a good point, but it isn't because even virtual weather effects can be more stylized than real life.

The quality of the image can still be great because it won't be affected negatively by those weather effects. In 3d graphics the artists and programmers choose how things are displayed. It's just that simple.
