I'm disappointed, it's clearly less beautiful than GT5, and even SHIFT on PC... They sold this game with just photomode shots!

Do you even have it? Do you even have an Xbox 360? (I'm just wondering if your the same person I had a similar "disagreement" with about another 360 game, and you said you don't even have one, lol... not sure if that was you, thats why I'm asking.)


PC screens/games will always be better then console.

I saw it in demo in a video game shop... like I said, really disappointed, doesn't have the WOW's jaw dropping effect I had when I saw GT5P and GT5 gameplays and replays. Even Shift on my PC is far more impressive for the realistic global lighting and shadows of the game and the environment.

That been said, I'm sure it's a very good simulation, no question about it, but graphically-wise, it's not that great during the gameplay. That's my (humble) point of view...

I played NFS:Shift. It should've been called NFS:Sh!t. Awful game. Sure, it's pretty. But that's all. The AI is so bad it's like driving with all the a-holes from online. I don't care how good it looked, the gameplay sucked IMHO.

I haven't played GT since A-Spec for the PS2. Great game. But it didn't have damage modeling back then, which was disappointing. I know GT5 has it and the game looks gorgeous from the videos I've seen. But, I think Forza3 is gorgeous too. I was playing a race replay video last night and my daughter thought I was streaming video from a real race.

@ LeemzHQ, Too bad you didn't like it, with mods (AI and physics) SHIFT (on PC) really shines.

Being a professional graphic designer, it was just my opinion when I saw the F3 demo on a HD screen in the shop: the gameplay visuals are far from the photomode marketing they used to sell their product... Just a slight improvment from F2 but not really up to date with other racing games. To conclude I would say that this is not the game that would make me buy a console. If I just want a racing simulator, I can stay on my PC. GT5 in the other hand seems to be awesome...

When 2 years ago, GT5P was already amazing (this famous jaw-dropping effect on your face) concerning the realistic feel visuals, I waited MUCH BETTER from 10turns:

Yep you are correct... those PC images are better then the consoles... But I don't argue that fact, I know it's true...

As for the Shift vs FM3... well I'll be posting about that later...for the end of the year comparacion... but when I compare them they will be 360 vs 360 vs 360... because comparing the 360 graphics to a high end PC is apples and oranges.


And I don't have a problem with someone saying "the graphics aint as good as.... so and so... because" but I do have a problem with someone posting one liners like "that looks like poop", "that sucks", or "so and so is so much better". Especially when that person don't even own or play games on a Xbox 360... or is a fanboy of the PS3 or whatever... not saying thats you, just in general.

Forza is more about maximum frame rate than graphics. Sure GT5P looks pretty but it has severe slowdown problems.

The final GT5 game will be 60fps like EVERY final Gran Turismo (even the PSP one). GT5P was not meant to be a final product, more like rushed out to appease fans from a very long development.

Last GT5 screen shots seems awesome... for any sim racing fans (consoles or PC). The mastering of feel real light, shadows and reflections is just AMAZING!
