The black car is pretty sweet.

But why do they have real life pictures of the cars instead of in-game pictures? In-game pictures would make much more sense seeing as this is a game

Wtf?

You know those shots are not real life cars. It is the game. That is how the game looks. And because the lighting system is exactly the same while racing. They look like that while driving to.

I've decided that if this game doesn't win gfx awards this year, then we have an industry in denial of car games. Its more detailed and impressive than any other game visually. Its just bloody real.

Car games have it easy with graphics though, you have very few things moving on a static (and usually sparsely detailed track).

Car simulations have incredible physics, reflections, handling precision, damage, removable parts, good AI, customization etc etc... I don't see why they couldn't win best graphic awards.

Such amazingly dry wit... it's beautiful!

I will agree that it is a very beautiful game, so beautiful infact that I have pre-ordered it's Limited Edition and greatly look forward to the 'Forza Garage' aswell as all the new features.

Forza 3 tracks were far from sparse. Forza 4 look even better. Forza was known for great track detail. And now has the cars to boot. =)

Wow those are scarily good graphics...I know its photomode with all the extra effects to make it look better but that's still damn impressive. If F4 looks even half that good in-game i'll be impressed.
