I knew it as soon as I saw it. Lighting & wheel motion graphics are exactly that of Forza 3. Not to say it isn't a fantastic shot, though.Thats a new FM3 picture che released, I am pretty sure Kamshaaft knows it too...
It was only just released

^Forza 3 no longer has wheel motion graphics, but fully 3D modeled wheels 24/7. Dumb decision IMHO considering it will take more processing power, but it was done to please the community. I heard there will be NO smoke in Forza 3 though, isn't that going a bit backwards?
Why are we even talking about that game in here? The mods should hopefully close or move the Forza threads to the appropriate forum when they come online. As thread starter, I request that we please keep it on topic to GT5.

It just doesn't look like GT5's graphics engine.

Oh please this is pathetic. Give credit where credit is due. That pic looks FANTASTIC and every bit as good at GT 5.
When nobody knew it was a Forza 3 pic everyone was like "Wow, that looks so amazing, you mean that's not a REAL pic? Is that from the TG TT?"
For the record, I though it was a GT 5 pic too. Ya got me.
And then as soon as people find out it's from Forza 3 all the comments are "Oh that's so obvious it's not GT 5 it doesn't look very good actually"
Seriously just stop, you're embarrassing yourselves.

I'm not giving credit
That is a misleading pic. It's no different then all the fake pics EA puts out ahead of all it's NFS games. They're all the same, usually just one car, zoomed in, motion blur. lighting, and AA to the max even though the game can't handle nothing close to it in real time.
That type of marketing is criminal in my opinion. If this were a PC game showing a great screenshot taken from a super high end machine that you could upgrade to OK, but nobody's 360 is going to make the game look that good, except maybe in photomode.
You get the game in your hands and it looks like this:

I don't recall anyone saying it "doesn't look very good" throughout this thread (especially "all" comments as you said), seems like you made that up unless I missed it.
It's a good pic no doubt, it has Turn 10's art direction (relax I'm not saying that is bad) which is why I would never mistake it for a GT picture

How is the way Turn 10 takes pics of their cars any different than the way Polyphony takes pics of their cars?
Infact Turn 10 used to ( for Forza 1 ) be content with releasing real ingame pics. But what happened was that people would compare them to the touched up pics that Polyphony likes to use and now EVERYONE does the exact same this with their pics. Not one dev out there ( racing games ) releases true ingame pics. They are ALL "photomode" pics.

I would argue that realtime GT5 looks just as good as the pictures PD has put up minus less AA
For example, this GT5 "photomode" picture doesn't look much better then this this or this

It does look very good, and yes it's from Photomode..
But until we get a demo, and can 'stage' some 'nice' in-game shots off-screen and compare to photo-mode shots, it's all a bit moot..
We all know from GT5p that taking in-game offscreen shots can range from pretty ropey looking, to absolutely awesome, depending on how you stage the shot and ensure maximum LOD etc..
What I expect is that on both sides when the games are released, everyone will be comparing the best of one game to the worst of the other as signs of superiority..
But, I think GT5 will always look more 'realistic', but being that I also like Forza, I am expecting that is going to be getting closer to GT then it's ever been.

The Forza Koenigsegg looks incredible. A great impression of reality.
But I also understand Earth's point that it isn't necessarily an indicator of a game's true visuals, because, in motion, there are many other things to take into account.
Sure, PD touch up their pictures too, but to me, GT5
certainly looks much better in motion that Forza 2, and likewise with the videos of GT5 and FM3.
I'm not a forza basher at all [/disclaimer]

If that's what you think Earth's point was then you completely misunderstood him.

There was smoke in that footage at E3 - it was billowing off the all cars at the start line. It was unrealistic, but nevertheless smoke. 👍
I feel this thread should be closed. We've established that it is an FM3 shot, we've established that Kamshaaft isn't a troll trying to provoke anyone who's just made a mistake and now we're going off topic and having pointless arguments.

It looks different to GT5. Good, but different. It doesnt look real but it's amazing quality, I dont know how to explain it 
And about the photomode thing, GT5 does look amazing mid race, like that photo.

If we didn't already know that Koenigsegg was in FM3, then I would have moved this thread to the Xbox 360 forum, but since it isn't exactly 'news', then I've closed it instead.
