GT5 graphics aren't that impressive

I have no idea what is wrong with some of you. You either need a better TV or actually play the game or something.. Its ridiculous reading some comments posted in here. when facts hits you in the face you still deny it.

Facts? Like direct captures from the game itself.

I think it was someone here who said that the levels look like they were worked on by different teams. I think thats true, or some of the older courses were just straight ports from the PS2 GTs.

That would indded explain the game's uneven graphics. Does any one have a link about this ?

 

Like I said before, thats not an HD screen capture. Thats an SD screen capture thats been upscaled with quality degraded. You can obviously see it in the UI on the bottom left of the screen, and in the mini-map on the top left. I've already put 10 hours into GT5 and haven't seen ANYTHING that looks remotely as bad as others have been claiming. People are turning this into a fanboy war to try and downplay GT5. If you don't believe me, look at all of the user reviews on Metacritic where people are rating it a 0 and giving the comment/review of "GO BUY FORZA". The game looks as good as promised.... My Standard 3000GT VR-4 doesn't look any less detailed in-game than my Premium Civic Type R. The textures don't look ANY worse than Prologue, and in most cases better.

 

People can't seem to give games fair reviews anymore, they turn it into a fanboy war. Is the game as good visually as promised? Yes it is. Is there still a ton of things that are lacking? Yes, I could give you a list of things I hope get patched because they are a disappointment... but for the time being the game is every bit as good visually as I expected it to be.

Goddamn. 

Its an HD capture. And even if it was an SD capture thats been upscaled, it wouldn't magically make the level geometry look that simple, or the textures look that low resolution. Although the textures might look that blurry because the game apparently has a problem streaming textures.
