Doesn't look better than gt7. Their attention to track and car detail is still the best. We'll see when this releases. |
Nah, you are wrong. You can see here that Forza Motorsport 7, from 2017, running on PC at Ultra settings (and it doesn't exactly take amazing PC specs to hit ultra settings in the now almost 6 years old FM7), looks better than GT7 running on PS5 in 2022:
FM7 wins in (by order of what was shown in the video):
- Car interior lighting
- Car interior window reflections
- Rain puddling effect and rain puddle reflections
- Car headlight lighting quality in rain
- Asphalt texture quality
- Headlight shadow casting
- Rain droplet movement on windshield
- Car detail on the BMW M4 Coupe used in the video
- Clearcoat paint reflectivity on the BMW M4 Coupe used in the video
- Crash and sideswipe physics and sparking
- Car deformation from damage
- "Donut" smoke particle quality
- Shadow quality (softer shadows)
- Audience reflections in car mirrors
- Tire tracks left in grass
- Dirt buildup on car
- Godray lighting
- Audience picture taking flash effect not present in GT7
GT7 wins in:
- Grass textures
- Audience character models
- Headlight lighting quality (when looking directly at headlight)
- Car reflections (as a result of raytracing) on the truck used for this comparison in the video
- Flag waver effect not present in FM7
All other areas seem like effective ties to me.
With FM7 being 4.5 years older than GT7 and winning in that many areas of graphics and effects, it's a safe bet that Forza Motorsport for PC and Xbox Series is going to wipe the floor with GT7 in terms of graphics and effects. They've built everything from the ground up for the current generation, no last-gen holdovers.
