Ohhh!I loved T10's presentation of this, and what they can achieve with said tech for Forza Motorsport's real life tracks. The tracks will look more realistic than even GT7. The trailer being "in-engine" is probably an idea what T10 wants/plans to achieve for the new title, and I say go for it!
Just wish they have shown more of the track because the trailer was the most beautiful of I've this gen. Hope we hear more about Forza Motorsport come Monday on Forza Monthly.
I'm sceptical that they will rebuild all 32 tracks with this level of quality. Also Laguna Seca was always one of the better looking circuits in Forza due to it's short length and naturally sparse environment. Wonder what happens with Nurburgring or Spa for example, where trees are everywhere. I don't think it's the last we've seen of 2D trees.
It's way too early to say anything when both games are more than a year away, if not several years. Although it shouldn't be a surprise if Forza ends up looking better, remember that T10 has 2 TFlops more to work with, and both are likely targeting the same resolution/framerate. So this time they have an advantage, just like PD had the advantage of PS3/4 being more powerful than the Xbox consoles.
Bill Giese, apparently he's still at Turn 10 but I haven't seen a public appearance from him since 2017.
Do you mean the ones featured in GT Sport? If so, I agree. I've always preferred PD's original tracks back in GT1 to GT4, as they had such a nice flow and scenery to them. However, the ones in GTS, although beautiful scenery, don't have good track designs imo except for tracks like Dragon Trail and some others like Colorado Springs.
There's no difference in time and effort between real and original tracks, in fact real ones are a bit faster to make because you get the general layout and topography from the laserscans and photogrammetry scans. Plus if they're to rebuild long tracks like Nurburgring and Le Mans with this level of quality it's gonna take a long time. Remember that Forza 5 version of Nurburgring took nearly 2 years to make and even then that version is subpar to the quality found in other sim racers now, both in road surface accuracy and surrounding scenery. Of course they might be planning to release a barebones version to start with and then update it similar to GTSport. But the base package needs to be sizable enough, the can't have a repeat of Forza 5.I hope both companies can bring back ALL of their original tracks from their previous games to confiscate track count (if getting real ones is taking time).
GTS is a great looking game but it lacks in alot of areas where Forza simply looks much much better. The only thing that GTS blow Forza 7 out of water is lighting, HDR, trees (some of them) and shaders. Things like iq, textures, shadows, reflections, in game car model, smoke effects, draw distance, track details, grass, sky and rain effects (outside the rain on the windshield looks better on GT) are better in Forza 7. GTS destroys Forza in replays and photomode thats also something PD is better in, but pure in game quality it destroys nothing.
Oh i know but now they can use a higher quality capture with al the extra power. The dubai track in Forza 7 was one of the best looking track. It looked way better than the other tracks and it looked real like because it was a capture of the real thing instead of hand made look a like.
I'd like to know why Poly can't make nice looking track anymore today? IMO, the tracks look pretty poor in terms of details in GTSport compared to Rio or Prague in Forza. Even tracks in Grid or Project Cars seem to have richer sceneries.
Its that incredible lighting engine and the superb shaders, even if they have low detail or low iq the lighting make up for it. With HDR its even more amazing how real it can look.
Depends on tire quality and vehicle.
That doesn't mean anything.
