GT5 Track textures (56K WARNING)

[G.T.Ace]

I would say its the complete opposite.
The GT Suzuka looks much more like the real one:

Real tracks arent that colorful as in FM2.

EDIT: Just look how much gravel there is in FM2.

 

[Bogie 19th]

Amazing how people have different eyes.

GT5p and real life:

Man...could GT5p look any more clean and glossy? It's like they took a Zamboni around the track laying down armor all. I like how the FM track resembles the wear, the skid marks, grain, bumps.

You know after watching that F2007 side by side vid, we should do F1 races and do recordings of our fastest laps and comment on them like F1 drivers do.

Here's hoping to more F1 cars in GT5.

Agreed. Take the Nurburgring, for instance. In FM2 it looks like it had just been through a fire that burned down half the forest. Meanwhile the Green Hell looks the same in every other game I've seen - PGR 2, PGR 3, PGR 4, Enthusia, GT4, and GT5.

 

[G.T.Ace]

@Bogie: It would be nice if you could atleast point out what you mean.
Okay, some of the trees are a bit dark, but thats it.

The track looks almost 100% like the real one and thats exactly how it should be.
The FM2 version looks like there was a sandstorm.

 

[Bogie 19th]

I thought we were talking about asphalt?

Hopefully they will drive like F1 cars also and be a challenge, to me there is nothing rewarding in driving the F2007 in GT5 when it's glued to the road, and doesn't make a drama when having a heavy right foot.

 

[G.T.Ace]

Can you post a comparison pic from FM2 too?
I think, except for the saturation, GT5P is not far away from the real thing.

 

[Earth]

If that youtube video doesn't convince people that GT5 needs a ton of work on their track detail compared to Forza, nothing will.

I dont see your point. If anything the Forza 2 Suzuka looks washed out and full of low resolution textures. Just look at the grass next to the side of the road. Keep in mind Forza 2 could only render this at 30fps and 720p with just 8 cars on track

Did any body know you can race F1 car's in arcade mode against each other, the AI will go 101 and it will be nothing but F1 cars on the track. it is so awesome.
i did 45 laps at suzuka east lol...and placed 6th...

 

[Bogie 19th]

I dont see your point.

My point is, based on videos, screenshots and playing both games, the tracks (asphalt) look better in FM2 than GT5p. As for grass, trees, cars, sand, skies, etc, GT5p looks better.

How can you see the track asphalt when most of it is covered in a large amount of skid marks? A bunch of skid marks placed on top of what is most likely poor textured road is not impressive in my opinion.

 

[G.T.Ace]

Im with Earth on this one.
I admit, the track in GT5P is kinda "clean", it looks like it was prepared for a GP or something, but the track textures itself are great. Theyre very high-res, the skid marks look realistic and theres nothing blurry.

We will have to agree to disagree on our opinions. Ain't no big thing.

 

[TeamStig]

Why does the grass in GT5 reflect light as if it were a flat surface? Look at the attached pic.

The textures are great aside from that.

 

[G.T.Ace]

Yeah, the light reflections are a bit overdone.
It looks like the grass was wet.^^
But i never notice that while playing (the game looks a bit better in real 1080p anyway, the captured video has also some extremely dark shadows i dont have when playing, could be the capture card that was used).

 

[TeamStig]

I notice it all the time on my TV, though it runs at 720p. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

The darkness of the shadows might also have to do with the quality of the video.

 

[Tenacious D]

The point was that GT can be criticised as much as Forza. Most (50,1% or more) members here, however, don't see it that way, and reserve criticism for Forza.

Frankly, I agree with them. Let's compare how being rushed manifests between the two series in a couple of examples:

Forza 1
Cars are inaccurately modeled.
Damage is questionable, partial, and different for different makes.
Handling is a pain, even with a wheel controller.
Brakes are sluggish.
Driver views are iffy, and 3D transition isn't smooth from distant to close.
Pop-in even with objects less than 500 feet away, such as turn markers. Yikes!
Physics in some ways are questionable, or wrong.
Graphics are running at 30fps, and replays a flickering mess. However, environment reflections absolutely crawl at between 6-8 fps.
Livery editor issues.
Game occasionally crashes.
Limited garage space and only 32 replays (WTH?!) even with a universal hard drive in the XBox.
(I could go on but you get the point)

Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec
Mid-engined cars handle like front engined cars, front drive cars still handle too much like RWD cars.
Less than one-third the cars of GT2, no used cars.
No damage, no skidmarks, NO REVERSE LIGHTS - ohnoes!!

Amazing how people have different eyes.

GT5p and real life:

(you shouldn't use piccie URLs from someone else's website, save them to your own Photobucket (or whatever) account)

Man...could GT5p look any more clean and glossy? It's like they took a Zamboni around the track laying down armor all. I like how the FM track resembles the wear, the skid marks, grain, bumps.

Well, when I drive down the road looking into the sun, usually the asphalt shines into my eyes like that. Looks realistic to me.

Me to especially by the tire barrier on the last corner of suzuka.. It looks like a rug lol

Ok.

 

[sumbrownkid]

It won't hurt if GT5 has a few more skid marks added here and there to make the track closer to life.

 

[FLASH48]

I think there is two things, wrong with GT tracks. One is they are a bit to shiny, and the other is they are smooth as a pancake! They need bumps like real roads!

 

[Andrew C]

It's like they took a Zamboni around the track laying down armor all.

LoL at the zamboni. I agree though. GT's tracks look too "clean".

 

[Punknoodle]

Look at the first set of photos on the first page of this thread, at the 3 pictures focusing on the grand stand. GT5p has the correct sponsors in the correct places. Although the sign writing may have been different when forza was modelled, i just noticed is all

 

[jagenigma]

Well there are a few tracks that have bumps on the road for example, Circuit De La Sarthe and Nurburgring, I am pretty sure that the roads in gt5 won't feel as clean as they look.

How does GT5p look more glossy than real life? The asphalt looks more glossy? Maybe that's because sunlight is reflected by asphalt... the real pic is taken at another time of the day as the GT5p pic. The yellow lines of GT5p are completely wrong though.

No, you must refer to the tire marks right? Yes, those are off too. But I'd rather have this than the tire marks at the pic of catalunya of FM posted earlier.

FLASH48, ever played GT4? Wasn't the nurb a bit bumpy, to say the least?

To add to that, Daytona on the flat surface seems bumpy. Also, you can see the suspension in works in this video.

I see an updated Suzy in GT5..

Ok, and I would rather not. I don't get your point?

 

[sejtur]

I rather have a realistic looking road-surface than one all covered in rubber, like that pic I referred to shows:

Look at this vid, you almost see no tyre markings off-line in that corner.

That's a nice video there, shows that the physics have really massively improved.

IMO GT5 looks more real. Just because FM has more tire marks how does that make it look better? It almost looks as if some ricers participated before you entered and messed the track with their Civics.
