And once again the thread desends into "my game is better looking than your game" bla bla bla.

And there i was thinking game play is the most important factor, guess im in the minority then. :irked:
 
Anyway...

Looks like a slightly later build, the driver doesn't look so weird now as before.

Oh wow, a moderator agreed with me on how the car's look like autoart 1/18 scale model cars. Highly detailed... but not photo realistic. we have all fallen ill with GT syndrome. Were GT5P's car models look so good. It feel's like no other game can look better. IE sucks the wow factor out of seeing how nice any other games cars look. Because GT5P has already shown how far a car model in the virtual world can go. No other game can truly show that. Were lighting is perfect to each color. were taillights and headlights look "real" and reflect real time. were you can't find one single inaccuracy on a car model. were every car look's so stunning and real to the point you could reach out and get inside, but the detail does not stop there. it just begins when you get in side. And when you can just sit back and stare for ever at the car's rotating in the showrooms. That is pretty much the power of GT.

To be honest, you've gone a bit over the top on that one.

Whereas I don't think Turn 10 does a very good job with lighting, reflections, textures, etc... I definitely don't believe GT is the be all end all either.

I can find plenty of inaccuracies in both titles.

And didn't have an option for grey interiors.
 
I think all the interiors look grey through the odd window tint they give, interior view probably wont look grey like that.
 
Is graphic quality the be all and end all these days? Isnt it more important to get the physics and the AI right rather than worry about what something looks like?
 
Guys are Neogaf said they don't have sunroof option, dealer installed option maybe but they're probably just wrong.
 
I am a regular at Neogaf as well. You can't always trust us there :) I don't have any evidence that it was or was not an option. I just have seen them ordered with and without it.

I just watched the OXM report on the Xbox 360 dashboard in regards to FM3. Dan G said that the cars on the second disk contains up-rez cars from Forza 2. That might explain why we are seeing so many different levels of quality of the cars. They must have made some FM3 new cars from the ground up on disk 1, and up-rez cars from Forza 2 on disk 2.
 
I just started to watch that video.

EDIT:
Ya that may be the reason for the random quality. I hope its only on cars that they know no one actually used much. I would really hate to see all the high end cars from F2 still have bad models with better lighting and textures.

Now what happens if I don't install that second disc?

Well someone posted this

Che responded that it was a mistake and won't be final, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

Some info leaked that "no exposed suspension cars like Ariel Atoms, Lotus 340Rs or Caterhams" will be included, "even though T10 owns PGR and they had the tech to model working suspensions."

That could be an indication that the suspensions won't be accurately modelled. Like we know it'll be the case for the chassis. As seen from below it will be identical for all car.

Could you perhaps post a link to that?

That's the good thing about GT5P. The interior is just as detailed from the outside as it is from the interior view.

Also, some of the car models in FM3 are far from looking as they do in real life, while the only car I don't think is spot on in GT5P, is the Nissan Skyline R34. Correct me if I'm wrong though! :)

Sorry, I can't. You can turn on your Xbox 360 and go to the Spotlight Channel I believe. It's called the OXM Report and you can see a couple Forza cars on the NXE square.

The only thing I do know is that Dan said they are modelling each underbody specific for each car. I don't know if they are going to model any chassis adjustments, engine swaps, and exhaust swaps though. I highly doubt it.
 
The wheels not being attached via suspension in FM2 also bothered me, but only in Photo mode. I saw a pic of a GT500KR on Turn 10 pit pass, it clearly had A-arms attached to the wheels and even a oil pan exposed I believe. 👍

Regardless I am loving the car list so far, the new 10' Camaro SS, Ram SRT10 ( not some 4x4 SLT Laramie Crew Cab like GT4 had), the Saleen sport truck, just nice to se them get some great different vehicles in Fm3.
 
Reventon and BMW M3 GT2. It was like watching NFS but with better graphic.

At least someone keeps costumers satisfied.
 
Wow a Foxbody Mustang, the game just grew a mullet. I like the Audi touring car though, and R33 Skyline which happens to be my favourite GT-R.

EDIT: I'm very sorry for those who haven't seen this pictures before. Now I've fixed it.

Awwww. I'd say that choice is full of WIN. Although I'm not a die-hard Ford fan, having a Fox body rocks simply because my Dad had one before. I will certainly be looking to buy this car early on in the game.
 
'Twas a joke, but in all honesty I'm really surprised that the Fox Body ended up in a game. If I recall this is the first game to have one?

Watch that bad boy in HD. Holy crap..check out the Reventon, and that INTERIOR. That is what I am talking about. I had no idea this car was coming. I would buy the game if it only had the ZR1 and this. My god.

Wow is all I can say about those images. Now THAT is realism. I wish I had the game now!!!

Now if they just fix all their headlights so that they are not cloudy all the time, I would be convinced.
