Gamespot has a TON of video up! SPOILER: Quite possible the game intro on one

[MoGoSpeed]

Those pictures being stunning are pretty serious.

@Sele

Why don't you post that where it belongs? The GT vs Forza thread is there for a reason.

 

[Luminis]

Sele1981, if you're looking for the FM vs. GT thread, this isn't the right one

Also, while we're at it, why don't we compare the cockpits of all cars in each game to decide which game's got the best average?

/edit:
Tree'd by three whole minutes... Gotta learn to refresh before posting

Two wrongs make a right?

No but makes a point.

 

[Bogie 19th]

Let me rephrase that. Please keep GT/Forza comparisons in the GT/Forza comparison thread so that our mod, Scaff, doesn't have to close this thread for failure to observe the AUP rules.

The intro is ok, nothing spectacular. It's certainly a different approach to the usual racing game introduction which is usually uppity beat music & tons of action scenes to draw you in, and they've taken full advantage of the Top Gear license by having Clarkson present the dialogue.

It's up there with some of the better game intros, but then again, they're usually something you watch once & then skip the next time you start it up.

Agreed.

I do think GT5's was pretty epic as well, showing the process of the whole car creation process from the earthly material to manufacture. I thought it was extremely well thought out and done.
EDIT: forgot Gt5 vs Forza, which I'm not trying to do right here, but more of a continuation of intro discussion.

 

[zr1chris]

No but makes a point.

Not really.

 

[MoGoSpeed]

Yes really. But Imma leave it at that. We could gone all day, it's pretty obviuos what the point is.

Continue discussion on intros and gameplay:tup:

 

[Bogie 19th]

Sweet, new guy gave us orders to carry on. Booya!

He didn't make that point. He's the one that posted pics of GT5. Which is exactly I made that point in my post in the first place.

 

[MoGoSpeed]

Sweet, new guy gave us orders to carry on. Booya!

Bogie wogie baby!
I no order though.

I am diggin alot of those camera angles in the replays though! Especially that one on Infinion with the huge curve.


@zr1 which then he shows previous posts of people bringing up GT5. but it's no biggie man I'm past it.

Now that is how you do a cockpit view! Remember how bland, lifeless, stale, plain, and boring Forza 3 was? Racing/driving in Forza 3 is like watching paint dry! Now I am going to assume ALL Forza 4's cars will be like this. Glad they made it more Shift like (because it has the best cockpit feel ever).

RIP GT5 and the fanboys. If only I can do obituaries well...oh well.

Yea Forza 3 cockpit was horrible!! But lets not hope it's to overdone in 4, alas Shift. But it definitely looks way better.

As for whats in bold, do you other people see? Unnecessary.

 

[Bogie 19th]

Shift's cockpit destroys GT5's and Forza 3's cockpits by leaps and bounds.

 

[Mazyata]

Okay, I was targeting the fanboys only. Nobody likes a fanboy! If you are a GT5 fan that's okay. One thing I didn't like in Shift was having no options to turn off the blur or the special effects when you crash. So far from the vids FM4 reminds me of the first Shift cockpit view. Not too close or too far. Shift 2 messed up by having it way too close. Only option was helmet cam, which is pretty sweet after spending some time with it.

Anyways, I hope they have the FOV just right. Hate having to see some stupid big hands or face up in the windshield like in FM3.

 

[MoGoSpeed]

@bogie I don't think it destroys, as I've heard many of people say it's overdone.

GT5's is fairly well, enough with this destroy, I've actually heard people also say there's too much shaking in GT5's camera. So there is a much variety of subjection to that matter.

@Maz
Nice I agree.

 

[Bogie 19th]

Oh yeah, the blur and special effects in Shift suck, that whole vision thing was bad.

 

[zr1chris]

I'm not sure how a cockpit can be graphically overdone.

 

[Northstar]

I personally hate all cockpit views on consoles as they never let you turn off the arms. Obviously for most it is no issue but I just have a hard time seeing an extra set of hands.

 

[JJ72]

The texture quality, normal mapping and modelling in Shift 2 is indeed very impressive though, on PC when you can mod the amount of tilt, blur effect etc it is unbeatable.

 

[MoGoSpeed]

I'm not sure how a cockpit can be graphically overdone.

Are you referring to me? Never did I say graphically overdone.

I was discussing the effects/blur/shaking of cockpit view, as was the other fellow.

@JJ

Thats actually extremely awesome! I hope these console game in the future will be able to provide a huge amount options in regards to viewing position withing cockpit.

Oh, Ok. Just threw me off, as you referenced it to being cockpit view when really it is just the special effects in cockpit view and has nothing to do with the cockpit itself. 👍

Actually it was done very well in Shift2. Best cockpits as far as looks (even upgraded cars affected the looks of the cockpit), and the motion was pretty spot on. No, it wasnt lifeless like every other game, it actually gave you a view of a race car driver. Brilliant.

The crashing effect also simulated the whole disorientation. Some dont like it, but I think it was done very well.

GT5 and FM3 are very stale in the cockpit view, I am hoping FM4 is much more like Shift 2.

 

[MoGoSpeed]

Like I've said before, cockpitview seems to be a very subject view as you've also pointed out some like things as others dont'.

The whole GT5 is stale, can't be compared to FM3. As I've said before some people complain that GT5 is too shaky. FM3 is obsolete.

 

[Bogie 19th]

And some people complain that GT5 is too stale and bland.
