is GT6's photo mode better than Forza 5?

IMO Forza, even though its cars use a million polygons, still has that gamey look and feel to it. PD's lighting is simply unrivaled. I can't wait to see what they can conjure with that PS4 power.
Master class lighting really makes the difference. Check out these GIFs from the GT6 OT at NeoGAF:
Here's some of my best as well. Not a photographer by any chance so please don't be harsh.

Granturismo's lighting is second to none and the premium cars are very highly detailed (you can see how stunning GT can look yet people still want standards).
Forza still looks stunning though, have a look at the FM5 realistic thread and you'll see why it's a next gen title(still big room to improve)

This thread should be posted every time someone defends the wonders of outsourcing.
Some details in those Forza 5 cars seems to have done careless with speedy bolean operations, rather than properly researched and consecuently modelled. Some constant hard edges and the out of scale smoothing are showing it. Polyphony knows very well how to make cars that look natural, they put a lot of care to achieve that, since how the paint reacts physically to the light to how the car it moves. They are the best on that, even with few resources.

Oh, his statement is bound to be ironic anyway for some reason. No use in getting into a discussion about it though.
And while GT's lighting engine is fantastic I doubt I'd be so bold as to suggest it's second to none.

For racing games? it's right up there I'd say.

Yeah it's a bit of poor wording on my behalf 👍

No worries. It could be me interpreting it far too literally.

I'm talking about the premium quality. All the new cars are going to be premium, outsourced or in-house, not PS2 standards. I'm not sure where is the irony on that.
Anyway, I don't know what makes me a pro. I think that I only voted in a poll and wrote a line in a thread about expecting a better looking standards in PS4. The Yellowbird looks neat.

As I said I'm not expecting PS2 assets in PS4. The standard GT6 Yellowbird apply to what I said about the issues of outsourcing rather than stay on PD's in-house quality. And that is a PS3's standard, no one knows how they will look on PS4.
But this is dragging off-topic. It's about Photomode detail in Forza5 and GT6 regarding the best cars.

I don't have FM5, however I did use Photomode in the previous FMs. A lot! (not "alot").
I not only love the quality of the images in GT5 and GT6, but I REALLY appreciate the streamlined workflow in GT6.
A photoshoot in FM4 of say, 100 shots would take forever, since they'd have to be uploaded and downloaded one at a time to and from the FM servers which operate at about 0.1 MB/sec.
GT6 has the advantage of being able to batch transfer to an external USB drive, making 100 shot photo shoots actually feasible.
Has FM5 caught up with this speed issue?

We should compare FM5 and GT6's Toyota Supra RZs. Oh wait, that's standard in GT6. Oh! How about the.... That car is standard too... >_>

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't FM5 a total car count of about 250 vs GT6 Premium car count of over 400?

Well we're not talking about F5s detailed cars vs GT6s standards, we are talking about F5s "next gen" cars vs GT6s "last gen premiums" cars in which GT6s premium cars look more realistic in detail.

Wow Toko. From constructive criticism to plain pure typical forum riot man. Sad.

You have both games, why don't you provide some comparison pictures instead of just using your standard F5 is better post??
If you do, please throw in some rain and night pictures.

How about you tell the OP that, since he IS the one doing the comparisons between both games.

You said we should compare. As far as I am aware, 'we' is a term inclusive of you.

I don't expect many, if any, will change your minds one way or the other, but looking at some average Forza photomode shots and coming to the conclusion GT is better does FM5 an injustice. Jumping between the two, I'm well aware of the difference. The lighting in Forza needs work from the photomode user, whereas GT6's is generally spot on.
