The Forza image is badly saturated, it's not really a fair comparison when someone in France can't use photomode correctly.

You do it better then.

It wasn't made for accurate comparaison, but the Forza pic was here to showcase photorealism attempt in Forza 4. GT5 pic was the challenger to this board war/competition (or return of the king, either way)

 

[Dibbz]

So long as you are on the right track.

Sorry but Forza 4 has incredibly crappy looking tracks to, so to say GT5 is the only game that suffers from some tracks looking worse is laughable.

Yes, that is supposed to be tarmac on the right.

[kazinova]

GAF should take a better one.

Actually, someone should, that Forza pics is set too bright, the saturation and brightness vignetting on the GT5 pic was carefully tuned. The Forza pic is kind of poorly taken. Maybe on purpose? Or the taker was trying to match someone else's GT5 photo and didn't kow how to reproduce the same conditions.

I think there is a difference in how the games look, but NOT that much.

Edit: people in the F4 OT are figuring out photo settings that make the game look best slowly. Here's some great examples of the good looks you can get in F4:

 

[offshore]

nm lol.

I think this is pretty much what you can get out of Forza 4:

And? The extreme motion blur in the photo obliterated the track detail.

I took these the other day:

Not too keen on the fun smoke puffs in the 2nd one. Oh well.

Let's not pretend that's all there is to it.


GT5 has amazing texture work on the tracks that were properly re-done.

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

Of course it's possible to take bad pictures in both games especially when using the extremes of the FoV.

Yup. So does Forza 4.

Damn it was glorious.

I was actually talking about the LFA comparison. Can you honestly tell me with the straight face that grass is just because of the motion blur?...

Go take a photo without the motion blur and the difference will still be monumental.

Yup. So does Forza 4.

Not even close.

But hey! There's always laguna seca.

like?

Sorry Wax. SupercarChallenge has the best texture work ever!

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Tokyo!

still looks like ass.

london and madrid are in a different league.

It's a fight to the death.

 

[Polyphony]

Geometry wise, it looks like ass in comparison to London and Madrid, but I took some pictures in the photo thread and Tokyo's track-side texture was cleaner, although less varied perhaps.

Opps

best shot in the thread.

 

[Polyphony]

I honestly didn't think GT5's in-game premium models would hold a candle to Forza 4's bajillion polygons models and full LOD swap in photo-mode, but GT is faring pretty well, wouldn't you think?

High LOD Forza 4 vs Premium in-game GT5. Now it's a fair comparison lol.

Edited: thanks Xanadu

 

[ruttyboy]

Seems to me there's some pretty clear rules if you're going for 'photorealistic'

Subdued color tones/saturation
Subdued lighting
For action shots a tiny amount of motion blur

But most importantly...

DON'T PICK A CAR WITH MATTE PLASTIC PARTS!

It seems to really jar on any photo, the metal, paint and glass shaders are great, but ugh, the plastic...

Also, if you're taking a picture in Forza, try to hide the wheels for the same reason.

forza 4 doesnt use the autovista model in photomode, just the normal high LOD

Dat ocean in that Forza 4 track

From the GT5 photo thread thanks to Polyphony.

But yeah Wax you're right looks like ass. :|

Dat imperfection :0

 

[ShapeGSX]

Track looks great. But there's an 8 bit texture on the barrier.

Edit: Ok, not 8-bit, but possibly from the DOOM era.

It's just the motion blur.

 

[Polyphony]

You're right, but barricades are just plastic lol.

 

[Dibbz]

haha MM well played.

And yeah I'd rather PD compromise on the plastic barriers rather than the road. They'd have to be crazy to do it the other way round.

 

[ShapeGSX]

Those barriers must be vibrating pretty fast, then.

This thread is even worse than the last time I was in here.

Which in turn makes it one of the best threads ever made. The insecurity in here is off the charts, and yes, I do have charts.

 

[drifter444]

With the right photo settings you can take amazing picks in Forza 4.

 

[asclepio_gtr]

I'll just throw this one here... And leave...

This picture is so good. One thing i want them to get rid of is the colored logo, it sort of ruins great pictures like this. They should do it GT style and manke the logo almost invisible.

 

[Polyphony]

All out photo war!

Love G Rom's photos, and to his credit, it's more than simply changing the settings.

I'll leave this here as well...

LOL, as if Forza 4 will fare any better against GT5 using photo mode. Give it up guys.

Really puts to perspective how diffrent the two Nordschleife's are, Turn 10 didn't try at all. Sound goes to Forza 4 as always.

 

[Xanadu]

stop making pics so small, its like cheating
