If that's the new Fanatec wheel, then I want one.
the jalopnik article mentioned a "new lighting engine" too - could be a way to manage ToD changes "inexpensively".
i'd take various time of day settings (or real time) to night racing/weather any day (yes, i'm aware if the lighting engine can accomidate changes in time of day it can likely have night too)

Akira said:Proof of different daytime conditions (if not full daylight simulation)?
From E3 Trailer:
From the new video released:
Notice the shadow's angle and the overall color temperature of the images.
That's just poor color reproduction from the video's low quality. I want those features as well, but don't get your hopes hanging from such straws.

you see dat grass?
DAT GRASS off to the left swaying?
Actual gameplay has 3d grass too. It probably swings as cars pass by too.

Even different daytime settings for each track can do miracles.
Many players today didn't play original F355 Challenge game (Arcades, Dreamcast, PS2) which had a great option called Magic Weather.
Basically, it utilized 8 different daytime settings for each track - from cloudy low-key light mornings to sunny high-key light sunsets - making them *feel" very different everytime you raced them. In Career mode it was random and you could fix particular setting in Arcade mode. It was such a great option and all this years - from 1999 - I wait for such an option in other driving games.
Gran Turismo 3 had a glympse of such with having different lighting setting for original tracks in Reverse direction, but in GT4 the option never made an comeback.
It would be amazing if someone overthere in T10 remembered Magic Weather and decided to make a subtile hommage to master Yu Suzuki genius.
And then just imagine to put such an option into conjuction with track/air temperature and humidity and new tire-model simulation.
For the reference:

i dont think its PROOF of anything, but look at the cars shadow - its entirely different in the two pictures
Sorry but the hype for the visuals of modern car sims is getting on my nerves.
"Screenshots from the trailer (it was all in-game) : "
Oh the part where it was a garage view?
Or the part where you stare at detail models outside of races?
Or maybe that replay mode with added effects?
Can't wait for all the kewl TOTALLY ingame screens from the photo-mode.
Seriously. I know I totally sound bitter but why is everytime a new forza or GT is coming people shit their pants at the visuals knowing totally well but yet somehow oblivious that it's a completely different story when you're you know...actually driving the cars in real-time.
I buy all the major driving games, and each time I'm dissappointed at the advertised visuals from the pre-release media ( every company and game genre does this but they're always labeled as bullshots but within forza/gt community they're labeled as ingame ), because the in-game visuals never ever ever ever ever match the driving part of the game.

Rewatching the trailer, it's clearly the best gameplay trailer ever put out by Turn 10. It still doesn't beat the best trailer ever made for a racing game (I don't think it can be beaten to be honest) but it's miles ahead of what we got for the previous iterations.
I also like that we didn't get any CG trailer this time !
Edit :
This is in-game as in rendered by the console in real-time...
Watch the trailer and the b-roll video. (yes we know the Autovista mode looks better)

I guess they'll have that hangar mode and other high quality bg's for our purchases though ;( oh well.. Let's see what will happen with time? Maybe they'll add more showcase vehicles.

Maybe I'm just not up to date with the lingo but when I think of in-game I think of 100% unequivocally : "you are racing in this racing game / you're shooting in this fps / you're Xing in this X game. "
Looking at this :
This is what the game actually will look like when playing/racing : http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5185/5805545860_cc9883f75b_o.png and nothing else regardless of how unflattering this particular shot maybe. So people having heartattacks at the grass details can reel in their expectations because this happens at every frigging iteration of Forza/GT

Don't feel bad bro, what he means is that they'll be so much shit to do that most people will end up jizzing around the game customizing shit than racing... I know I'll be doing both lol..

Those screen shots make me think of next gen, not current gen.

I'm sure they'll offer new cars to be used in that mode through DLC.

I don't for a second believe that the 1m poly cars will be used during gameplay. That will almost surely be for photo mode only.Risk Breaker said:

I think the handling looks more like PGR. Based solely on that B-roll footage, I'm very concerned about the direction of FM4. The tires on that MP4-12C looked like they were made out of marshmallows.Slayer-33 said:
