You can't go around posting pictures and gifs of real life cars and try to pass it off as GT5! :O

Anyway I think he's trying to say bland in the sense that Forza and GT go for looking like real life, real life is normal and that is the definition of bland, so maybe he's trying to say he wants more style and to go beyond normal.  But even if he is meaning that its a poor choice of words, though I don't think they have to do much to look better than Forza since the original Shift looks better than Forza 3 did.

Thanks for that, I needed a good laugh tonight.

Glad you got a chuckle, shame I enjoy blur effects to give a sense of speed, depth of field, crash effect that give you a good sense of being in a crash, and finally actually having people and things around the track so isn't boring to look at.

 

Believe me it took me a while to find that Forza video to give it a fair shake lol

Either way I'm not getting into this further than that, Shift isn't trying to simulate real life, and I find real life boring, so of course I'd find something that is trying to be a game rather than real life would be entertaining to look at

Both Shift and Forza 3 has parts that tries to copy real life and other part are just "gamey".  I'm surely no one here would think "instant replay" in forza 3 is like real life. Shift uses real cars with cockpit view and even motion blur itself is trying to copy real life.
