Again, its 30 fps and I don't believe the average player really notices these details. I appreciate quality graphics, but I don't know Driveclub is doing all of this until somebody explains it. I say this as a person that owns Driveclub. So it feels like a waste of resources.

In a nutshell, I'll take 60 fps over the advanced lighting of Driveclub. Primarily because the lighting effects in Forza look great as is and 60 fps feels better. It seems GT has a similar philosophy with its PS4 release.

Futhermore, the X1X will primarily allow for better textures, 4K, AA, and higher quality effects in Forza 7. While Driveclub uses more advanced lighting, Forza uses resources elsewhere... like 60 fps.

You can see the difference with Driveclubs lighting straight away. In fact it's like a gen ahead of every other racer this gen.

I'll explain it for you.:

Forza 6: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2jgjAfEiRpM/VcOsITxZUjI/AAAAAAAAhM8/qdBpZ3__mZ8/s1600/maxresdefault%2B%25281%2529.jpg

Notice how DC's lighting bleeds into the rest of the image like you would see in real life? The ambient light makes a huge difference to realism. Forza has very flat colours in comparison, know what I mean?

But yeah, this is a thread about Forza's visuals so I thought Driveclub would be a good comparison. Forza's great though.

To be fair, that Forza 6 picture you picked is very bland. The rain footage in the OP looks better.

But again, when I'm playing these games I don't really notice the lighting for very long. Driveclub has better lighting but Forza still looks really good. The 60 fps with a great presentation of Forza though, that's more significant.

If Forza targetted 30 fps that would leave a lot of room for more detail, better lighting, etc. Its amazing the X1 accomplishes with the specs it has.
