Not to turn this into something it shouldn't be, but I'd argue it already surpassed Forza 5. Never mind all of things it's doing on a technical level that Forza isn't. The cars look great, arguably better than DriveClub's (albeit, a bit too shiny, though), but its backgrounds and lighting don't look very "next gen", to me, and are certainly a step behind DriveClub's.

Could you elaborate? You strike me as objective based on your posts and I know you have an eye for these things. I have not watched much of Forza o be honest, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on both.

I'm still not convinced, but knowing I get a 'mostly authentic' version of the game due to having PS+...I'm kind of excited! I wouldn't buy it yet, as I am not SOLD on it, but knowing I'm getting it and seeing this makes me honestly happy that it's free on PS+.

Agreed! Was starting to get a little worried about this one but those graphics are nearing Forza.

yeah, agreed. forza looks really good don't get me wrong. ..but dat lighting in driveclub. that sunset, the shadows casted from all background objects, the headlights and tailights, the sheen from the lines on the road. just damn impressive.

Indeed:

Where I think Forza has an edge: the cars. They don't have any aliasing issues and just have a little more "umpf" to them. They look like CG renders rather than in-game, which is striking and telling of just how good they look, since none of it is pre-rendered.

On the other hand, DriveClub is doing more things technically, such as dynamic lights/shadows, more advanced Ambient Occlusion, crisper raytraced refelections, full day and night cycles, and dynamic weather transitions. It's as if DriveClub is more well rounded, while Turn 10 has mainly focused on the vehicles (time constraints lead me to think this regarding day and night cycles + weather missing from Forza 5).

Dynamic whether hasn't been added yet and Evo have said they'll probably be added post launch. I sort of agree with you on the models but I think the Driveclub models look better because of all the real time lighting in the game. I think once it's been optimised, we'll have something very special here (until GT7 releases)

The PS5 Exists.

Footage make this makes me think twice about holding off from the PS4 at launch. Maybe I can afford a new PC and a PS4...a little stretch...

edit I do hope they get that aliasing sorted out though, like they said they would.

I completely agree on the technical level and lighting, however Forza still looks a little more polished ,imo but as the dev's stated they are adding more each day so it could very well surpass Forza's graphics in the end.

I still disagree. Only the cars in Forza look a little more "finished", but environmentally, DriveClub looks more rich and complete.

The problem with Forza is that its limited to simulating real life tracks....same issue with GT games.

Driveclub devs can go to town with their tracks

Im also thinking that a lot of people will enjoy driveclub over Forza/GT simply because its more casual/arcadey. You can even tell just by watching video of the game that it has a much faster feel.
