GT4 certainly looks good but noway photorealistic, contary to what cobragt would like to believe. Still GT4 is the most realistic looking game out there. :)






/And incase anyone gets confused, I ain't VolvoR on granturismo.com forums ;)
 
i don't get the point why you would like photo-realism? It's a game and it will (hopefully) will always be a game... just remember those 'photo-realistic' western-shoot-outs???? now they were fun weren't they....???

Just wanted to say that i like my games to like games, enough reality goin' on in my life..... ;)

I don't know: nfs:hp2 on pc looks better IMHO, here's why:
better terrain - GT4 still has quite flat looking terrain from what we've seen. NFS is slightly better. And you see a great deal more.
Car drivers - you can actually see through windscreens and watch the drivers act when you do.
Realtime reflections - GT4 still relies on reflection maps.
3D wheels all the time - GT4 has 2D wheels when racing.
tyre and skid marks - they actually exist.
Detailed shadows - In gt4's shadows you can't see things like the car mirrors that should show up.
Detailed textures - GT4 textures just can't match up, especially on the terrain.
Trees with more than 2 polygons...
Reflections on the water - when you run through water your car is reflected in it.
Car damage!

On the other hand, some of the car models aren't as good. A few are as good, or better. Win some, lose some.

The big difference is in resolution and anti-aliasing. Running GT3/GTC you really notice the difference and it detracts from the experience a great deal, IMO.

So I don't think it's the most realistic game available in terms of graphics. No doubt, however cobragt will offer up a few screenies released by PD as proof of 1337ness, but you can get good and bad screenshots from any game if you want to pick and choose. All we have are the best that PD can offer (assuming that their PR dept is any good) - we haven't seen what the worst look like.

As for which is the better game, who knows until it's released? PD still have the opportunity to totally screw it up. Game companies have destroyed sequels before, it may happen to this game too (God forbid!)

Why don't you just shut up? Anyway I have as much right to say it's photorealistic which is as you to say it's not so just shut up and don't get on my case and everything will be cool. Hell, there are alot of ppl who agree gt4 is photorealistic like game sites, other ppl from other boards, every where. And it's true, gt4 is the most photorealistic game coming period

Can you back this up with written comparisons? How about links to a few articles? Anything outside your opinion that can GT4 will be the most photorealistic?

Glut does an excellent job of pointing out what the expected problems and good points of each game are.

You'd be doing yourself a favor by following his example.

I belive IMO that GT4 does look very photo realistic... in no way have I seen a game with photorealistic grass or dirt.. the cars are of great detail but you could still notice its a game but the backgrounds of GT4 are photos so yea they looke realistic to me :lol: but like I said before I havent seen a game with "realistic" grass and such, but for the racing games out today GT3 does looke the best on PS2 and now GT4 will be the best.. Theres good reason to debate this but we arent making the game and everyone does have there opinion on this and there own visions. If someone sees it as Photorealistic and you dont then let it slide, IMO I think it looke great and with much detail that I see it as photo realistic, but thats my opinion. But if you could show me a game that has better looking terrain (grass dirt etc..) then show some screenshots or links...
 
better grass or terrain?

gt4s terrain isnt very good, its the CARS that are VERY good imo

i win
:)
 
You have some good points there Glut, I thought GT3(& GT4's?) reflections were supposed to be realtime to a large degree atleast. Trees etc are reflected for example although the 'cloud effect' reflections on sunroof are no doubt fake.

Anyway, although NFS2:HP car models probably have more polies, some of em don't look quite right imo as you've said.

But yeah scenery, textures, AA & AF, the endless list... is no doubt better compared to GT's low res. Although PD do wonders with the PS2 to make it compensate & still look pretty realistic. :) (in game terms anyway)



:lol: cobragt maybe if you didn't make such outrageous claims about GT4 & generally didn't talk out your back side & proclaim it to the world, perhaps people would take you more seriously ;)
