There's even a shot of the LFA in the leaked trailer in a barn and the lighting on that looks better than the warehouse LFA shot above. I don't know what was with the decision to use that environment/lighting combo by T10. It really isn't all that flattering and I've thought that since day one.

Yeah, there's that... And there's also the fact that the pictures of FM4 are hand-me-downs from the devs, why we have access to a huge amount of material from GT5, which makes it easier to find (or create) some awesome pictures to make a comparison. For FM4, our choices are very limited - for now.

Either way, I still am a bit sceptical about matching GT5 in photo mode. None of the graphical shortcomings of the in-race graphics are of importance here, so it really looks its best... And that's pretty hard to match.

Which then would raise the point about a fair comparison. What is a fair comparison in that regard? We obviously can't take all cars into account for GT5... Bringing the standard cars into the debate would end the debate right there. It'd get very onesided and rub a lot of people the wrong way. So, only premium cars, whicch means the best 220 cars out of GT5. Question is, what could those be fairly compared to? The 220 best cars out of Forza 4? Including AutoVista or not? This could be, for example, important when it comes to subtle errors in the modelling... If we were comparing just the 220 best cars of each game, it'd be easy to avoid all of those for FM4 and get rid of a point that's been brought up a lot.

I know that'd cut T10 a lot of slack, but on the other hand, that's happening when only taking the good looking stuff from GT5 into account, too.

What I'm trying to say is, both games are close and I doubt we'll ever find a truly fair way to compare them, graphically....

Turn 10 still think that the 'ring and le sarthe are smooth as silk :sick:

Actually, they don't. I have been seeing substantial improvement there, especially on the back straight of Le Sarthe. Love it.
 
t.o.
To be honest every single other I've seen seems to be much more flattering. Maybe this is there way of giving us the "WOW" when we get it to our consoles.

Yup, looks like it.
 
I am sorry but I have to post this lol:

Fuel that tail light and make sure the driver can't use his hands anymore lol.

WOW!!! The back ground is just too amazing the car looks great and it almost looks real. It's a toss up really, after seeing the Maseratti photo from GT5 it is close. I think FM4 needs more pics like that so it can be truely take down GT5's photo mode for starters.
 
Photomode is way, way down on my list of priorities in a racing game. I couldnt care less.

I still dont get why its important for some people for a game's photomode to look real? I mean...if you want a pic of a car, cant you just get it?

Give me good racing, good customization, good tuning options, great looks, and awesome sounds, oh, and cockpits. Thats where I will spend a majority of time.

I was waiting to see this come up and I'm sure alot of these people will do that as well. They just want to have fun taking pictures of cars they build and epic racing moments to share with others. You know like those times you do something cool or great and hope someone is around to see it but no one is...
 
t.o.
Funny, the 1st pic above is one I took in GT5 when I got the game almost a year ago and the 2nd pic is the Forza one. Any comments?

They both look good, I thought the second was a GT picture and wouldn't have known unless you told me

have you ever played the physics on iRacing? I've played iRacing, GT5, Forza 3, Nektar, and not to mention some racing IRL. iRacing's physics are unmatched to any other "sim" on the market.

You might be right on the physics:tup:. But as a game. No just No.

GT5 hands down doesn't win anything in that comparison. You're comparing the car under two COMPLETELY different light sources. Especially when it's know that FM4 has a scene similar to that GT5 pic's light source.

Why don't you wait till you can get FM4's LFA in this FM4 scene:

Then we can start talking.

No need to get all touchy, t.o.

I have both Forza 3 and GT5 and there is no doubt imo that GT5's photo mode/travel, is superior to FM3's, as are the cockpit views. From what I've seen of FM4, it is an improvement over FM3 but it still doesn't look as good as GT5. Couple that with day/night and weather and Forza is behind. Just my opinion, you understand.

Depends what you are looking for really. I look for ultimate realism. And only iRacing brings the closest full spectrum possible.

so why are you on GT planet? 👍

It's the best game for you, in your scale. But it isn't in a console semi-sim forum (as an general opinion), not dissing PC sim (use to be exclusive PC simmer) but Iracing doesn't own in the eyes of people who are not the most hardcore simmer, no matter how realistic it becomes, it just doesn't cater the same needs.

I'm on GTP because I enjoy playing GT5 every now and again to have some jokes. Play some less realistic, less important racing.

Ask anyone that has played iRacing and other console/pc sims. I guaruntee that probably around 80% will say it's better than anything on the market. The other 20% are people who either are too stubborn to change there mind or "think" it's too difficult.

Is there anything more pathetic than an elitist pc sim racer? You give the rest of us a bad name.
