It does look good but not any better than any other race game really.


show me another game that does it in rain aswell ;)

Well pretty much any current gen NFS game, PGR4, Dirt games and i'm fairly sure Burnout Paradise has great looking rain as well. I'm probably missing a few racing games.

You missed out GRID, F1 2010, and 2011, all of which look significantly better than that. DiRT doesn't have Spa, obviously, so it's hard to make a direct comparison, but imo DiRT 3 looks a fair bit better than F1 2011 and is the best looking racing game of the gen so far (still need to play Forza 4, but I doubt it'll top it; I find the Forza series tends to be highly overrated graphically). Shift 2 deserves some credit as well, it's got great graphics.

Nope, it really doesn't. Even playing Shift 2 with all the graphical settings maxed on my PC and at 1440x900 resolution with 4xAA, it has average graphics, at best. Some car models are good, but track models and detail are really sub-par. DiRT 3 and F1 2010 (haven't tried 2011 yet) are leagues above Shift 2 in the graphical department. And don't even get me started on that awful blur effect at high speeds.

I really don't care. I was talking about the video posted in the OP and commented the lighting looks fantastic but the foliage looks laughably bad. Agree or disagree, I don't care. But I would assume a game of this stature where the sole purpose is to be a as realistic as possible wouldn't have trees that remind of the N64 days.

now I'm even more confused.....did we watch the same vid???

Again not really an argument... unless you genuinely believe I am talking about another video in which case I'd advice you to stop discussing entirely.

But hey, I guess it can be a matter of opinion, but fact is most trees are 2D cut-outs and that's not something you often still see lately. Like I said, reminds me of the goold old days.

yup we watched 2 completely different vids, now I know that

sorry for the misunderstanding, but I think you should watch the vid in the OP as that is what the thread is about

oh and this:

http://www.taxigamer.com/gran-turismo-5/gameplay/spa-francorchamps-race-with-mazda-rx-7-touring-car-thanks-to-gtsurgeons/724

You don't happen to be religious by any chance? You seem to be the only one in the universe denying GT5 has 2D trees. Most GT5 fans acknowledge it but don't care, but you seem to be in serious denial.

oh I know it has them, I mearly commenting on their noticeablity, see you actually have to notice something for it to affect you, and 2d trees in GT5 are barely noticeable, and saying they're noticeable enough to remind you of n64 is either a joke or trolling, that's clearly proven by the vids posted in this thread, not the off topic ones of not fucking relevance, the one on GT5.

now are you joking or trolling.......


wow didn't see someone defending something so much like you do wtf? do you die if someone says something against gt5? if you don't see the trees good for you but with that everyone could argue like this. the next will argue that he doesn't need any trees because he just looks at the asphalt. why do we even need a backround? anything which we can't drive over isn't necessary haha

for me if a game has something in it than it has to be up to date. you won't believe how many hours i used in pgr4 just to "fly" over the streets with the cam just to look at all the buildings to, for example, read words/sentence at walls/statues. i don't say that pgr4 had perfect graphics just how much someone can look for these things so yes if i would play gt5 i would see these 2d models all the time and if i would know them i would see them even more every time driving there.

Ah I see. Because you don't notice them it means no one can notice them. Duly noted.

I assume me calling Gt5's lighting fantastic is also joking or trolling? Many people don't notice that as well.

waaaaaa the confusion continues, EVERYONE knows GT5 has phenomenal lighting,

Just a stab in the dark here, but I take it you really like GT5.

GT5 is a good game with good lighting and bad foliage. If you don't like me saying it, then I will say it again. GT5 is a good game with good lighting and bad foliage. Good game. Good lighting. Bad foliage. Bad foliage

and I take it you've NEVER played GT5 before....

because GT5's foliage is second only to reality, and no more noticeable in it's short comings than than any other racing sim

so unless you consider real life bad then we'll just have to agree to disagree

I think C.A.R.S matches GT5s foliage + it has 3D grass

I stand corrected lol

Why do those trees and grass look like they came out of a PS2?

NOOO!! THIS ISN'T ABOUT RACING!!
THIS IS ABOUT PICKNICKING!!!
HOW THE GRASS ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR PICKNICKING! IT'S TOO FLAT AND DRY!!
HOW THE TREES AREN'T ROUND AND REAL ENOUGH FOR LITTLE JIMMY TO PEE AGAINST!!
HOW THE LEAVES AREN'T FALLING SLOW ENOUGH TO EMULATE AUTUMN!!
GO AWAY WITH YOUR RACING!!

Ah yes how could I forget about GRID! But yeah Dirt 3 has the best graphics I've ever seen in a racing game, it truly is amazing. As far as Forza's graphics, Forza 2 & 3 both are overrated graphically. Forza 4 is what Forza 3 should have been graphically.

I'm not one that really cares about graphics but for someone who is considered a "perfectionist" that nature really sucks ass.
