Even though I agree that Forza 5 is the best looking racer right now, I don't agree with people downplaying GT6's merits. 

Your argument could backfire and we could say that other than for the visuals, Forza 5 feels like a dumbed down version of Forza 4. Or that Forza 4 is just an expension of Forza 3...

GT6 is a complete game. It's part of a franchise, just like Forza 5. So similarities between titles are expected. GT6 is a much more polished game than GT5 was, and it will only get better from here. Just like Forza 5 will.

As for the car models, updating the models from the PS3 versions of the games is ok. Although I'm hoping they'll improve them more than with just a little upscaling... They need to at least reach Forza 5's level of fidelity all around. 

The thing that Forza has always been better than GT, to me, is when it comes to the backgrounds. I think GT games look more photorealistic than Forza games. But Forza has more details in the little things in the backgroud. It takes less shortcuts, if I may. But the overall feel looks a little too bright and saturated and fails to catch that photorealistic feel that GT has with its more accurate color palette and lighting.

I already took that argument into consideration. Forza 5 takes some steps foward and some back, the more Forza 5 I play the more I'm enjoying it. Even more so than Forza 4. I must get my drivatar to 100%.

One of the biggest reasons people want next gen consoles is for cutting edge visuals and it delivers in that regard. Now once its better than Forza 4 in pretty much every way, I'll be happy.
