You do realise that the footage from Driveclub is from May 2014?
Skip to 3:43
You can see that they upgraded the sun lightining which is much brighter than in the video you assumed was the final product.
Forza is still more colorful but less realistic when it comes down to colours, every tree is not bright green in real life.
Driveclub = Sharper, more detailed car models and more realistic colours.
Forza Horizon 2 = More colourful and more "cartoonish" graphics (it's an open world game so it's still impressive)

I honestly don't know what is up with all this obsession of "This game looks more realistic than this game and thus its better". 
You're playing a game, and thus it shouldn't matter if a game looks 'realistic' or not...

Some gamers have become so obsessed with graphical fidelity in the previous console generation that they've forgotten the more important matters in games the older consoles provided.
I miss those days when we just played games as a form of escapism, not use them as part of an internet war.

To be honest, DC's main appeal for me it how good it looks and sounds, in my opinion it's the best looking racer (better than CARS).

Read again, it's a graphical comparison, no one is saying that makes the game in itself better. Some kids get easily offended that's all.I honestly don't know what is up with all this obsession of "This game looks more realistic than this game and thus its better".
Thanks for the vid, yes the Indian part at 3:43 looks brighter because of the settings so like mentioned here already the Mediterranean setting of FH2 probably contributes to the brighter atmosphere.
Still i find the graphics a bit duller and the sharpness and detail of the surroundings + road surfaces inferior to those of it's competitor. Let's just call it quits with this discussion and say tastes differs then. Hope you'll be able to make out where to drive at 200k's and hour in those stormy overcast conditions though

Are you guys really saying that FH2 looks better than DC?
Nothing shines in real world like it does in FH2.

Some more real time screens
Looks worlds apart from promo stuff and the image quality is quite rough.
pcars pics
Pcars looks several orders of magnitude better running on my 4 year old graphics card. Pics are real time. I think Driveclub photomode will be spectacular though.
Quite disappointed in Driveclub's apparent outcome.
Few months back I was thinking its the best looking driving game with super looking low sun lighting but now its so flat looking and jaggy.

Can't wait.
Graphics look so crisp and realistic. I'm upset that we won't get the weather system (but it does look beautiful,) at launch, though. This game could be in a graphics pageant (if there was one)!

They do indeed. I don't think either look is better. They both pull it off nicely.
Right on the money mate. Ever since the GT3 days when they started making better-looking games thanks to the PS2 and above, GT has always retained that signature photo-realistic look. It's all in the colors and lighting. I still remember how the replays used to BLOW away my friends every time they'd pop over. They'd be like: yeahh, somebody has really good "camcording" skills and then I'd tell em to move closer and observe it's a game!

Exactly, unless that game aims to be realistic and a substitute for real life if you will.... which neither game in this case is. I like what both have to offer.

Jeeez, tell me about it. I often reminisce the SNES and PS1/2 days... damn fine games. Excellent replay value and gameplay. And we didn't have any silly MP distractions back then mind you!
Right..

Great shots. Especially that last one... reflections on the wet tarmac are unreal. Flat textures on the building break it though.

I think those last two shots were from pCars, because of what @chromatic9 was saying - there again, that's a PC game vs a console, so not really a fair comparison.
It seems almost like some folks want to be seen as belonging to the 'coolest/most elite club' and they get upset when something that looks like it could be better comes along.I honestly don't know what is up with all this obsession of "This game looks more realistic than this game and thus its better".
It might explain why a number of people on this forum have been vocal about hoping certain games will push GT back out of the limelight - they see these new games as the cool game to support. Me, even if DC and pCars prove better in so many ways, I'll still play future GT because I like the feel of them - you're right, they're all games, to be enjoyed, or not.

Well someone said its better looking than pcars, my 4 year old GPU is PS4 spec plus there's so called low level coding and this being a PS4 exclusive. I would've agreed a few weeks or months ago about it looking better than pcars or any driving game, the videos and screenshots looked outstanding but the game in real time upon release falls way short.

Seeing i'm the only one here that mentioned he's not that impressed with the graphics (apart from @chromatic9) i guess you two are making a reference towards me?
I'm 32 (which means i couldn't care less) + i don't own a next gen console, so that makes my views pretty neutral on this subject don't you think. What i do notice is that when you mention such "negative" point, sometimes all the kids that are into the whole "my console/ game i better than yours" come to the show and try to ridicule said point with silly arguments, so if you were actually referring to them i hereby stand corrected

Ahh, I didn't see that comment. There should be no way that DC would look better than pCars, unless it is terms of personal preference.
Not at all directed toward you - it was more of a general observation gleaned over the years from reactions here on the site.
Well, very bad is a bit steep. I think it seems to offer enough room to create something fairly individual, with several layers of design options and plenty of colour choices to work with. It also precludes the inordinate amount of penises and breasts we'd see, or Evoloution would be forced to police for as a result.
