this isnt in game, the actual game looks nothing like this

good photos though


Actually they are all in game. You've obviously never played it. Some are taken in the garage while majority of them are taken from races.

Photomode is not ingame graphics, on any racing game. The mode is designed to look better than the actual engine. THe actual game is not able to produce such content.

THat being said, they are gorgeous shots. It's just important that people understand the distinction, for example, to inform people like yourself.

Whatever people want to tell themselves, Forza 5 is (with all its flaws) the best looking racer on consoles right now.

Polyphone has a lot of work to do on their engine and car modeling to top this. I'm hoping they won't use past gen models for their PS4 title.

Indeed. GT6 feels like an expansion, I hope the real effort is going into in GT7.

I'm sure they'll use the premium models from PS3 games in GT7. But its time to put PS2 models to rest.

Even though I agree that Forza 5 is the best looking racer right now, I don't agree with people downplaying GT6's merits. 

Your argument could backfire and we could say that other than for the visuals, Forza 5 feels like a dumbed down version of Forza 4. Or that Forza 4 is just an expension of Forza 3...

GT6 is a complete game. It's part of a franchise, just like Forza 5. So similarities between titles are expected. GT6 is a much more polished game than GT5 was, and it will only get better from here. Just like Forza 5 will.

As for the car models, updating the models from the PS3 versions of the games is ok. Although I'm hoping they'll improve them more than with just a little upscaling... They need to at least reach Forza 5's level of fidelity all around. 

The thing that Forza has always been better than GT, to me, is when it comes to the backgrounds. I think GT games look more photorealistic than Forza games. But Forza has more details in the little things in the backgroud. It takes less shortcuts, if I may. But the overall feel looks a little too bright and saturated and fails to catch that photorealistic feel that GT has with its more accurate color palette and lighting.

GT7 will be interesting to see how the tracks compare. GT5 and GT6 push a lot more pixels then Forza on 360, while also having more cars on track. GT7 vs Forza 6 (I assume GT7 won't be out until then) will be easier to compare, both running in 1920x1080.

The premium cars in GT6 are good enough imo, I really hope they spend the extra juice on the environments. Check out this picture, can't see how the car could look any better. http://www.flickr.com/photos/adrianf1esp/11422608093/in/photostream/#

Anyway love the Forza 5 pictures, the miniature effect in this one is almost perfect. If only you could race like that for fun. RC racing mode.

The audience is high quality images of people. We've certainly seen worse.


Here is a interesting fact some of the people that work for Turn10 are in the crowd.

Come on best by defult, no other real next gen racer out.

We shall see how F5 or even F6 stacks up to Project cars and GT7

PD actually does not have much to do to best F5, all these screans are Not what you see when you actually play the game.  Looks good but not exceptional, jaggies flicker and the paint looks mediocre for some reason.  No where as good as in garage.

im sure F6 will be better, im also more sure GT7 will be a beast second to none as far as graphics go.

Here, we have an example of an unreasonable and apologetics filled response.

Can you go troll somewhere else? Because this thread is about Forza 5's photomode. And your opinion sucks.
