You keep saying this but can we wait until we see actual FM7 on released X1X not E3 footage. Not sure if anything will change but from what I can see from the FM7 Demo it does not look anything like that the video shone as far as looking washed out. I would still give GT the edge in light because GT has always had the better lighting and nothing has changed from what I can see. Also the aim from GT to Forza is not the same. GT will not have dynamic time of day or weather which is cutting back a lot within the game. This means they can concentrate more on the car models and lighting not having to worry about those features that such up frames. The aim of the two games are not the same and because of this, direct comparison really cannot be done. |
The outcry about the lack of dynamic time of day is a strange one to me. I can understand how it would somehow affect the enjoyment of 24 hours race events, or long racing events that lasts a few hours. But for the usual standard races? The passage of time is mostly inconcequential. That you don't get to see the sun go from its 1:10pm position to its 1:40pm position really isn't a game breaker. 
I'd say the removal of dynamic weather is unfortunate, but again, you can set whatever weather you want to race on. And maybe even have it be randomly chosen for you? In any case, we'll see how the game turns out when it becomes playable tomorrow.
Besides, Kaz said that the game will grow over time. With new features coming down the line. I doubt they'll manage to incorporate those dynamic features, since they're hardware heavy, but who knows? In any case, both games set to achieve something different. But have their distinct "personalities". And that's good!
