The New King of Racers? FM4

[prymet1me]

sorry you called me a hater for nothing and I am the one raging?

I am just saying the current file distribution method for XBL wouldn't do this screen justice. And as far as I know it is related to Microsoft's policy, i.e. it might stay the same for Forza 4.

Lets just be patient and hold tight, seems that T10 has been looking at the fumbles of FM3 and GT5 and trying to come out strong. MS has made exceptions for MS studio games before. I dont know if T10 bought this to MS attention or not BUT if they have you could be in for a surprise.

Just upload to the FM website and download your pic.

Those are low rez, he wants High resolution pictures and I can agree with that complaint.

There is a difference between saying "Microsoft does not support full resolution high quality screen upload or direct data fetch via USB" and "Forza 3 did not support full resolution high quality screen upload or direct data fetch via USB".

Either way, lets hope they might have noticed the opening for one more blow to throw and put it in the game.

 

[Bogie 19th]

I sure hope so. GT5's photo resolutions are AMAZING.

That's more like it, the reflections are better (The rear bumper is probably as good as it gets), and even the alloys look more realisitically shaded IMO in that shot, I guess the off-screen poor white balanced shot might be partly to blame.

Gets a thumbs up from me..

The cars just ... still don't look right to me. Turn10 should probably go and talk with Illuminate Labs to get their lighting, it'd help far more than they're probably willing to admit in terms of 'realism'.

 

[rocketcaron]

Is it just me or the replays are looking a zillion times better than before?

I know there are a few out here who like me likes to watch replays. This is one place where GT have always been very good and I've been hoping since FM1 that they would fix it.

Happy happy!

I'd be happy if they allowd us to just upload the high-res photos to FM.net and download them without getting heavily compressed.
Personally, I don't find that very inconvenient, so if they can keep the compression from happening, that'll be all I need.

And if they're at it, I'd like to select the reoslution for my photos, so the game renders them to be the size I want them to... It doesn't have to support huge resolution, but selecting between regular and widescreen would be nice. Some different sices to chose from, too. I'd love to get some 1440x900 images as wallpaper for my laptop

The cars just ... still don't look right to me.

Dunno how often stuff like this has been posted. And somehow, nobody bothers to elaborate more on that then "they don't look right". This is getting really annoying.
Let me put it this way: If you can't properly name what's bothering you (and no, "the lighting seems off" doesn't cut it), think twice about posting stuff like that in the first place.

The cars look so real to me I just can't quite put my finger on how amazingly realistic these are.

I almost smell petrol whilst looking at them.

Good job T10.

 

[Digitool]

not to mention he's judging that off of someone's camera taking a photo off of a screen.

but whatever. i don't need someone else to feel like they're going to enjoy the game or look forward to it, for me to be able to look forward to enjoying a game.

i'd rather not race against people who are more concerned with graphics anyway.

 

[prymet1me]

Spagetti69 I love you man lol.

 

[Luminis]

Well, sarcasm might just be the way to deal with those guys

 

[kimi123]

that is funny at :20 & 1:30. you can hit a rewind button if you mess up.... are you for real?

That is the reason Forza is king of racers

They din't even change the bad cockpit view. It is just an upgrade with slightly better graphics. Top gear looks nice and this track in the video is suppose to be best track doesn't have good lighting HDR effects either

Why are you guys even in this section of the forum, then?

 

[ICEMAN_ZIDANE]

The only "full sim" on ANY console was Race Pro for the 360 if we're going by the strictest standards which it seems you are. If you're not playing Race Pro OR any of the PC Racing sims then anything else you're playing is a little less than sim. And I mean ANYthing else.

Haha Race Pro ?? Are you kidding me ? Omg i really can't give you an answer because we are talking on a different level , normaly i would discuss it with you but your understanding of Sim is different ...

 

[McLaren]

Boy, that's ironic....

 

[Digitool]

OK, so here is a comparison of GT5 to FM3.

http://ps3.ign.com/objects/857/857126.html

and

http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/143/14345839.html

Notice the score is higher for FM3 (even on ratings from people who's played the games).

So statistically GT5 isn't viewed among our peers to be better than FM3, how do you expect it to be better than FM4???

Have you ever played Race Pro?

What is your Xbox Live gamertag?

More than likely it's "Ooops! What happened to this page?"

 

[vkss]

Absolutely yummy!

 

[prymet1me]

Anyone seen backfire in the videos?

 

[phil-t]

I grabbed this from one of the off-screen videos'..

This is the same video, go to 9:26..

 

[prymet1me]

I love you phil!

Jeez...I feel so sick now, why isn't it October yet? This game has replaced BF3 as my most anticipated game this year.

 

[zr1chris]

Absolutely yummy!

Great comparison with the Spyker. That's amazing how much it is improved. The video of the Top Gear track and the timing of the game are identical too. The game just needs to show a bit more flex in the suspension. The front corner of the car is almost touching the ground in the real video and the game the car is much more stiff.

It's hard to say since both cars didn't take the same line in the turn.

I think it's an FM thing, they've improved body movement (visually, it's all modelled in the physics) in FM4 from the various vids around, but it really would be nice for them to tweak it to make it look more like real life, it's one of the simple things that does add to the realism..

They have said they have looked more into suspension modelling this time, they may have time in the 3 months until release to just tweak it a bit..
