I thought dynamic weather would be ready for launch. Oops. Well, at least it'll be there at some point, but that's icing when you think about everything already going into it.

I'm curious about what you think of them hitting 60fps.  Do you think it's at all possible with all the dynamic lighting, advance ambient occlusion, etc. they are doing?  Since they say they are targeting 60fps it sounds like they are maybe at least hitting well above 30fps to keep saying that.  

60fps will be a stretch, but not necessarily because of everything going on, rather they have a strict dealine. A lot is riding on this being the Forza alternative for the PS4, since GT7 is a ways off.

Hmm, well I'm gonna remain quite optimisitc that they may get it there.  I'll be happy with 30fps though.

It would be cool if they increased the framerate over time through updates.  I remember MAG got better graphics over time over updates.  It was awesome!



I am getting more and more interrested in this game,.

This is looking amazing, when he turns the corner and the sun is setting, the fading light is great.

It's finally starting to look like a proper Next Gen game.


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

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.


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.


dont get me wrong, Forza looks amazing, but to me a lot of the car models look kinda plasticy, too shinny, doesnt look like something you'd see in real life.

Drive Club on the other hand, seems to capture the subtlety and softer contrast of real life. everything seems to look right in drive club. something about Forza makes the cars eerie and stand out as fake.

It is certainly looking nicer and will definitely be in a good place once the AA has been sorted. Biggest problem with Forza at the moment is that it looks nice, but doesnt actually look much above and beyond Forza on the 360 (admittedly the 360 version was already very good)... but Forza's biggest downfall right now is that it has very little going on off track. You could question how much off track stuff you need when driving around at speed, but Driveclub's environments have more things happening.

I hope you can switch off all the social aspect stuff as I am not a fan of that.

that's the "problem" of real race tracks. you can't just put some nice stuff around the track to let the environment look better in a racing sim if it isn't there in real life. laguna seca as example just doesn't have much more than sand and some stands

So why not do dynamic lighting and weather

Laguna Seca can look very pretty




Awesome game.

But I only hope they won't blur the whole image (by some strong FXAA) in order to get rid of a few jaggies on the back of the car.
It was the problem of the first PS3 titles, too much Quincunux.

Can't they use some morphological antialiasing? Even if it means loosing some details, I prefer that to a vaseline effect.
Didn't killzone developers say that Sony was developping an optimized Morphological AA? TMAA?

So why not do dynamic lighting and weather

forza horizon had dynamic lighting and we also had already night races in forza long time ago. no clue why they don't have it in forza 5. you should ask them and not me about that. maybe a time problem or they just don't see this as very important for a "real" forza game and put their energy more in stuff they think is more important. most races take a few minutes so you wouldn't see a day/night cyclus. you see it in driveclub but driving 5 minutes and having the lighting changing 60 times faster as the real time is also not realistic but that's what they have to do so that you even recognize it. 

and to be honest, i also absolutley don't miss it in forza. i want to drive fast rounds and don't really care if i see how the sun is changing the position. but what i also miss is weather effects. weather effects aren't really hard to implement but maybe they aren't at the point where they think that it feels accurate. no clue but yeah, i would love to see rain in forza games. not in every race but maybe in every tenth race.

but even if forza 5 would have all of that it wouldn't  change that there are no colourful flowers or 5000 trees and a waterfall around laguna seca and it is simply easier to take any street on this planet as a race track to have a great looking environment. also good to see between different tracks in a game like forza 4. 

there will be a few tracks in forza 5 which will be on regular streets but most will be ugly race tracks and that is what forza fans want to see. for people who don't care about real race tracks or not there are obvioulsy alternatives which are probably better for them. 

thing is, people who like something like forza won't prefer driveclub now and people who prefer something like driveclub were probably never forza fans.
