I agree that needing something to reflect increases the 'realism' of the image. That said to prove your point you had to use an edited image. I know it's only minor edits in terms of contrast, but still.

I still stand by the fact that they could do with being a bit 'glossier' than they currently are. There are certain environments where certain cars look amazing but a large majority of them, in my opinion, are still a bit more matte than they could be.

To each their own though. 👍

Well, most car photos are edited.

Here's one that isn't:

Oh and
Small problem with the Range Rover Evoque:


Its a tad incorrect because the specific model featured in-game is the 3-Door Evoque Dynamic coupe while the real life picture is the 5-door Evoque Pure.

Here's a correct model from the 2012 Taipei Auto Show

This perfectly explains my point in terms of lack of reflections. Look at the ferrari 599, the fiat, the SLR and the McLaren. They lack the reflection of the sky more than anything.

If you get a GT model in the right environment with certain things to reflect then yes, they look great, but in 'normal' environments they just don't have that sheen that real life cars seem to have. They look dirty rather than just cleaned.

EDIT: and the lack of reflection on the veyron is comically bad! /sarcasm/

Much better 👍

That's abit of unfair comparison because the car in-game isn't in a chrome color like the real life one is.

Please note the /sarcasm tag! :D I love it when americans live up to the stereotype! lol

GT5 had better reflections. One of the visual downgrades in GT6 :/.
 
Now, there are Paris, Bangkok, Taiwan, etc motor show. I called out GTP members to contribute on this thread. Try to shot as detail as possible :D

I've got a lot more to post (I just need to find time :lol:), from the Ferrari, BMW, and Mercedes Benz museums, as well as more from the Taipei and Geneva Motor Shows!
 
EDIT: These are pretty much an interest check. Real deal coming soon.

1st anniversary of this thread, yay! Well almost but still. GT updates are slow and even then it ussually only contains VGTs. I take my time.

Anyway, this time im out of town. So with the exception of Alpine, which will be credited to @Carffeine , the real life photos will be pulled from the net. Enjoy yet again!.
