The track elevation seems to be very subtle compared to GT5, especially the corkscrew part.

Looks great to me! I love Laguna Seca and am glad we generally get this track in most racing games.

jdmking, I don't think it's off at all. Just went digging at some real world youtube videos and it looks very accurate including the elevation changes.

Looks better than GT5's. I am happy.

 

[Spagetti69]

Arrgh. GT in here too. Oh noes.

I never said it was off, just compared to GT5 the elevation changes seem subtle can you post the real Seca footage thank you. 👍

 

[Spagetti69]

I would prefer to compare to real life as well.

Sorry on IPhone as usual, can't do links.

 

[cuco33]

jdmking, here's one of them

 

[Minty]

Here, both videos: Side by side.

Whole thing looks pretty much dead on in Forza.

Why would one compare to GT... The FM4 Laguna Seca looks very close to the IRF track.

What are you talking about? I never said the Forza Seca Looked bad or anything, I said the elevation changes look subtle compared to GT. I only play FM and GT so the comparison is not crazy. Anyway the view might be messing me up, because I only use bumper cam and cockpit. When going down the corkscrew I cannot see the bottom of the track, I love that turn. 👍

 

[Spagetti69]

Oh I think King was right after all.
Well done in spotting the GT track as being off.

* must take to appropriate thread for Akira to say black is White *

 

[theotherspongey]

Graphics in that video are a lie because it is a replay.

If it was an actual race there would not be motion blur.

Please don't say I'm right at anything, I'm not saying both are right or wrong I was just giving my impression. I think the view in that video is messing me up though it looks weird.

I'm pulling your plonker.

Figured my bad man I just don't want people coming at me with the pitch forks like some other members get.

Sorry if I was mistaken on your intention but it gets very tiring reading comments on how this or that is not up to GT5 standards. There are those that think the mother of all race sims is GT5 and all else are cheap imitators. Enough said on this vs. that from me - at least for now

Laguna Seca looks great. The virual racing experience on the consoles just keeps getting better!

Agreed, I have both system man so I'm lucky cant wait to play FM4 though, I'm shocked we have no demo yet the boys at Turn 10 must lets us get a taste!

That's one thing.
And for me, and it's JUST my point of view, the GT5 version looks more accurate. Anyway, it looks great this too.

 

[SuperShouden]

I don't know. Seems like the FM3 track to me...I'd want to see those two side by side. The real track is obviously darker and...not as shiny.

Comparison between 3 and 4.

Also Mugello this one is really awesome

Dont say this here,you get into "trouble" and be called GT fanboy,biased,etc etc LOL
And anyways somebody will start that typical BS (Vaxxtx - Looks better than GT5's. I am happy - )
Never ending story,never ending biased posts

Thats the problem with you folks, you only care about graphics... The more important thing is the track accuracy... And yeah, it looks like (again) they made the track easier than it is in real life... corkscrew seems too easy... Also the track looks too wide...

But only my oppinion...

Still unbelievable why they put Nordschleife in and make it so wide *duh*...

 

[Luminis]

When comparing it to the footage of real races, it seems that Forza's Laguna Seca is pretty much spot on in FM4.

But if it differs from GT5, than it must be inacurate, because PD is 100% impeccable at all times, no?

Looking at this video, for example, it seems like the corkscrew is spot on in FM4 - and just, you know, maybe GT5 just overdid that?!


And you guys are actually wondering why people are quick to call you biased?

But, as I said in the FM vs. GT thread:

Anyways, after seeing the video of Laguna Seca, I gotta say, it seems like T10 have finally proven that they can put some pretty accurate tracks into the game. It actually feels a bit like the whole Nordschleife thing, just reversed - but unintentional (and less extreme, though).

I'm fully expecting some people to claim that GT5's rendition is more sccurate because, well, it's GT5.

 

[Sele1981]

maybe GT5 just overdid that?!

Probably! I´ve never driven on Laguna Seca...

But the Nordschleife is really bugging me and I cant understand such things... Why?? Why??

EDIT: Ah and for me, the most accurate tracks are in F12010...

Okay. If you want a genuine answer, it's the same as with Shift 2: They wanted to make it more 'racable' for the majority of people, who, in all likelyhood, aren't the same as us in that they consider accuracy to be as important.

But, anyways, looking at the thread title:
Why?? Why?? Do you feel the need to bring this up here?

Oh, wait! If you can't accuse FM4's Laguna Seca to be inaccurate, just bring up the 'Ring, right? Offtopic or not, we can't have GT5 looking bad in this, can we?

 

[Jamezinho]

The more videos I see of the corkscrew the clearer it is that T10 have got it right.

 

[Dopplegagger]

The track looks wonderful. IBL makes it look ten times better. I just wish that the interior view was used instead of the hood cam just to see how glare is handled this time around.

Oh well. I'll be playing it soon enough.

 

[alucard0712]

Good looking, but it's almost flat, maybe just because of camera (not stiff). Seeing this video I understood why I love GT. Sorry, my opinion.
