Assetto Corsa EVO Early Access Discussion Thread

[Nacho Libre]

There's a good graphical comparison vs GT7 here. IMO ACE is significantly better looking (closer to real life) than GT7.

The thing with GT7's graphics that makes them eye-catching, is that the cars are always washed and polished, so the sun's highlights and reflections do pop, especially on HDR capable TVs and monitors. Also, there is no dust and dirt in their world, so the cars never get dirty. The lighting is colder or neutral at best and colors are more saturated.

Oh, and those reflections when the sun hits the dashboard (at the 8:40 mark) would be a safety hazard in the real world.

In AC EVO you can see there is some haze around Mt. Panorama, even if it is a clear day with some high clouds. Color is less saturated, but in real life, sunlight washes colors. And in the interior, you can see that the metallic pieces and the hard plastics have a brushed look that is less reflective, as they should. Occlusion seems better in ACE too.

Forza Motorsport started rather bland with the graphics after what was promised, but some updates later they have raised the saturation, improved the textures, and boosted the lights/highlights, so it's more attractive now, and is also made for HDR. And FM cars do get dirty after running laps and their environments also acknowledge the presence of particles in the air.

I HATE the blooming effect of light reflection in GT7, that looks exactly like you have eye problem!!
