The truth is out, Forza 3 graphics not so great (NO 56K)

I edited my post after i found out your line was deceivingly not straight. Make sense now?Rza_rectah

My lines are straight, I used the line tool in adobe photoshop, and I am aware of your edit it was included in my quote, but I still dont understand what your trying to say especially when you say "oh its straight but its not".?

"Shadows can be in the form of a straight line when being casted over several different landscapes. I believe you are expecting the line to be un-even, but in real-life shadows can be in a straight line, its just that most shots/photos are taken in such an angle to make shadows appear to be un-even to provide a clear sense of depth to the viewer."

You're completely missing the issue. I'm not talking about the shape of the shadow edge, but the extent to which it is "cast". Go back and look at the picture. The spot on the car where the shadow ends is not consistent with the height of the wall (and to Rza_rectah, if you follow the shadow into the distance, you can clearly see it's supposed to be the wall's shadow). In other words, half of the car should not be shrouded in shadow, only the bottom left quarter should be. If the lighting engine were truly dynamic, that line you drew would lead to the inside edge of the wall, not up into the sky.

I know one thing: The demo doesn't look as good as it was advertised :(. Game still looks great though.TREAL_Since

Forza3´s hate is too out of controll!! :?

EndorphinMaster

Cows are just bitter because in the time it's taking Poly to develop GT5, the 360 already got 3 Forza games.

the game looks great. you are on crack.

[QUOTE="spike6566"]lol makes me wonder, who should i believe? the lemmings here, or the lemmings on that thread? think ill pick the lemmings at the xbox forums thread, they seem to be more honest there. vaderhater

it's not like he's the only person on SW that does pathetiic stuff like that..

I think it's sad ,in genral that people are posting pics of games ,and nitpicking the tiniest of jaggies (regardless of it being either Ps3 or 360 game)

instead of actually Ya know?..playing the games.

*EDIT*...and I could care less about either F3 or GT5 considering I loathe racing games.

those graphics are acceptable. I see this looking even better at release anyways. You all know graphics don't always make the game right?

Why not wait for the actual games of Forza 3 and GT5 then compare? Imo both games look great. The differences are there, but really how much will it affect your gaming experience? horgen123

Horrible? Seriously fanboys on here amaze me :lol:

Forza 3's cardboard cut out crowds

This game has terrible graphics, please don't ever insult GT5 again by comparing it to garbage like this. Turn 10 should be fired.

And you are comparing a two year old build of GT5 in those pics above, are you really that dense?

Nick_851

Seriously guys, i hope nobody expected F3 to look like all the bullshots or 'replay' mode vids that circulated in the boards the past couple of months... Having played the demo for s couple of days i can say F3 does look great... Imo GT5 will surpass it visually but for that we have to wait till it gets released and then be able to compare the 2 games..

What the F3 demo showed however is what imo is a significantlack of gameplay/physics/damage improvements i expected.. F3 feels like F2 in better visuals... it also looks like Turn 10 somehow made the game 'easier, or better say much more accessible to newcomers..

I'll still get F3 1st day upon release cause being a racing fan i surely cannot afford to miss playing this great title, hopefully the final game wont disappoint me like the demo..

i cant believe the devs tried to tell everyone there game was the best looking racer. LMAO

why do people keep bringing up the 2+ more years PD took to creat the game comapred to F3... i hope people do realise that having 400+ more cars take much more time to create, right??

Also like myself you seem like a Forza fan, so i ask you HONESTLY did you find F3 improved significantly in the damage system / physics & overall gameplay?? (i refer to your impressions from the F3 demo which as devs said is representative of what the final game will play/look)
