Funny thing. In Gran Turismo case, same people will say "blunt track environment; paper trees; boring landscape". But in Forza it's just "Real track look like it".

In that video, Laguna Seca itself isn't that better than in GT5 or Forza 4. Lightning and special effects are, but not circuit itself. And driving is the same as it was. Like they never worked to tweak it or improve physics.

i don't think that a forza fan who likes to drive in laguna seca ever complained that laguna seca in gt looks boring and blunt since that is how the track looks also in reality, boring with a lot of sand and almost no trees or other stuff.  but if you have "paper trees" or "2d mountains" in a game that it is a whole different story because in reality the trees are not in 2d...

Its just a nice added bonus that makes a otherwise pretty dull looking track look better.  Let's face it Laguna Seca is a pretty dull looking track and so is the other track that was also anounced last week Spa-Francorchamps.  I'm sure I going to like the birds in GT6.  I liked all the extra background stuff in Forza Horizon.  The only visually stunning track in Forza 5 so far is the Prague circuit.

yeah real race tracks look horrible most of the time which makes sense because there have to be safety zones and stuff like that. there are simply no nice looking flowers besides the track like in driveclub, forza horizon or any other game where developers can use every street and don't have to create a real race track in a videogame.

forza horizon 2 or a new pgr will show how great environment can look like in a race game on xbox one.





i like that guy! watched also some other vids of him yesterday

and i hate what he says with "most videos are with assists on". i mean, seriously, how do those gaming journalists argue about the physics if they always drive with assists on just so that they don't make mistakes to look bad?

Amazing. Just unbelievable. It is not a game, right? It cannot be true.

We talk about different people. That fan who likes to drive and don't complain, won't complain about trees either.



The racing visuals don't look next-gen at all... The video isn't top quality, but I really wasn't blown away by its graphics.
That said, the game looks (and sounds) super fun.

i complain about it. i see no reason why the graphics shouldn't be also important and why i shouldn't like to see a great looking mountain in full 3d when i drive on a track in the alps or stuff like that. i also made fun about forza's audience in forza 4 because it just looks stupid when you see 2d humans in a great looking game. why exactly shouldn't i care about that? yes, i drive a racing game for the driving experience but for the full experience everything is important. here is a pic i made in-game lol:



That part 2 video is unbelievable.

without a doubt the most impressive graphics of any of the new generation games. That video was seriously unbelievable. It looks real. Like its seriously hard in places to fault it. The lighting is so far ahead of this bens forza 4 and gt6. Its astonishing.

other games look awesome. This is polished to another level.

in speechless. The most polished launch title ive ever seen.
