The shots that he posted look like they are using a completely different shader set.

the sense of speed doesn't seem convincing enough
Foliage, shadows, no washed out textures, you can see minute car details ( Dirt on back, scratches on the side, windshield wipers not reaching ),illumination lights, dynamic shadows in tune with the sun, real reflections. It definitely looks next-gen, and I don't even like racing games. Someone can try harder to convince you but this is just what I see to my untrained eyes. Oh yeah, and if you think the sound is hollow, I don't know brah. Put on a good set of headphones, hook it up to a sound system, it sounds pretty good.

Sorry, that was too easy but my eyes glaze over when I see GT5 or 6 mentioned alongside Forza or DriveClub when it comes to visuals. I feel like it's either memories playing tricks on folks or they're way too accustomed to looking at current gen bullshots/photo mode.
They really do not, aside from the obvious differences you'd expect from it being an entirely new track and different time of day.
I do wonder if sometimes Rushy and Co come in to this thread and shake their heads or laugh reading some of the posts.
"reveal looks like a totally different game!"
Which must be hilarious for the team to read given it was all recorded from in game.

It was recorded from in-engine. There is a difference.

So then why does the actual gameplay look like a clear cut downgrade from those screens in every department?Don't know about that.
Another quick edit to show how without the two tiny areas of aliasing on the rear of the car, the IQ post new AA filter is near perfect. If they just sort out the jaggies on the rear of the car, the game doesn't need to look any cleaner.
Damn, this looks excellent. If this is what the final game looks like it'll be a real stunner. AA looks flawless here and if they clear up those couple spots then this kind of IQ would be A-OK with me for next gen.
It doesn't. At all. You just think it does because it fits that same narrative you've been pushing for weeks now. It's like the downgrade thread all over again. You guys see what you want to see when the reality is the opposite.
Ask Rushy and I guarantee he'll tell you the games visuals have been improved since that trailer was released. Hell, in the exact reveal trailer I linked above, compare the background detail, road textures and interior cockpit materials to what we've seen lately. It's been improved if anything.

That argument works both ways.
Quick comparison reveal to now. Couldn't find better quality pics, but take away the AA differences (which have now been improved considerably over this old Gamescom build) and I don't see how anyone could say it looks like a downgrade from the reveal...at least in actual gameplay angles anyway.
If anything, several things have been improved. Lighting, cockpit shaders and materials, reflections in windows, dirt from window wiper edges, road side markings, foliage quality, rock surfaces etc.

Good point, besides the incredibly underwhelming graphics, all the tracks they shown so far looked boring as shit.
Oval & Oval variations, with a lot of straightaways & one or two sports needed to brake.
I'm also not impressed with the car physics, they shown nothing on that front at all so far.

Out of curiosity, what games are you currently not underwhelmed with?
Agreed. AA, motion blur, and DoF aren't quite as good but the other improvements make up for it. Plus, they still have some time left and Evo does some serious visual grunt work in the last month.

What console racing game looks better than this? I don't know of one.
I guess if you expected more from next-gen you could be disappointed, but I don't know of a better looking racing game on consoles.

This probably isn't even crunch time for evolution lol.

No racing game in actual gameplay looks better than that on any platform period. Obviously some of the PC one's are going to have much higher IQ, but in terms of graphical features and fidelity, nope. I made a post about it earlier.

They have probably been in crunch since E3... and it shows.
Game has to be done by October 15th from my understanding, so only one month left.
GG and Evo are probably working their asses off. I also expect both games to have gigantic day one patches so October 15th isn't the final cutoff date.
I believe Ryse holds that title.

Sure to fix bugs and stuff like that, but all art assets and things like that need to be done by then.
Effects and performance can be tweaked a bit as well.
How about this? They each hold that title for their respective consoles.
I'll agree with you there. No matter how good this game looks or plays people are going to treat it like shit since it's 30fps.
Night and day difference as far as trackside detail goes. Looks far better now.Quick comparison reveal to now. Couldn't find better quality pics, but take away the AA differences (which have now been improved considerably over this old Gamescom build) and I don't see how anyone could say it looks like a downgrade from the reveal...at least in actual gameplay angles anyway.

It is kind of amusing how this game's visuals are nitpicked to death. Kind of an odd choice for the kinds of post you see.

I could imagine the meltdown if this ends up hitting 60 lol.

I can't remember the last time a console game has been patch to add any graphical effects. So I doubt it. Also, I don't think it's because it's 30 FPS. I think it's because it's Evolution, they are a redheaded step child in the racing world.
Driveclub is going to be the darkhorse of nextgen. Kameo on 360 got shit on all day too, LOOK WHOSE LAUGHING NOW.
Well shit, that was a terrible example, but I like Kameo god dammit.

Uncharted 3 got the motion blur patch, Ghostbusters PS3 got a resolution upgrade, and the HD version of ZoE2 got a massive resoution/framerate/AA bump.

I dunno for some reason it doesn't look as good as Forza Horizon to me. Maybe its just the color palette and all the stuff going on in the background in FH.

Totally forgot about Uncharted 3's snafu. Yeah maybe they will, but I hope not. Would suck for offline players.
If anything were to be patched in at a later date, I expect it to be Weather effects. Shame it isn't being included to begin with.

Dude, did you seriously lower the quality of the original drive club shots to make the current version look better by comparison? I'm not saying the game doesn't look great right now, but there's no way in hell those blurry pictures is what Drive Club's first footage looked like. No way...
Correction, earlier pics were really a bit of a blur fest. I was mistaken.

I think it looks leaps and bounds better. Did horizon ever get super dark at night or was it perpetually dusk?
I wasn't saying that they were guaranteed to have effects completely added with patches but they might increase the precision of motion blur or tweak performance a bit. I expect Killzone's MP in particular to have some framerate improvements in the first patch if they plan on hitting 60.

Dat 30fps sadly.

Forza Horizon is sexy looking game, but I dunno about that.
I do hope there are wide open expanses and dirt roads like this (offscreen shot I took myself):
It wasn't super dark, but it did have full day night cycles and it looked great.
