Blixt is giving me some doubts. He said the alternate time of day doesn't include night times? Uhhh

Shit fuck. Gotta pick this up too.

If I had a 360, I'd buy this shit day one.

I honestly can't believe how incredible the visuals are. When Turn10 said that they are aiming to be the best looking game of this year, I thought that was impossible, but now it looks that it could be a reality.

God dammit!!! I can't afford Forza 4 this year so it looks like I'll miss out on the collector's edition.

Epic Games and Naughty Dog probably have something to say about that statement.

Um? No they don't. Their visuals look stylized and really artistic compared to the realism that Turn10 is trying to put with Forza 4's graphics. I know for a fact Forza 4 will look better, but that's because it's a racing game so it's not going to be as resource heavy as UC3/Gears 3.

I would say on par with Uncharted 3 and Gears 3.

FUCKING CHRIST! That looks famazing.

It would look famazing if the AA was a bit better. I can't say it's on par with Uncharted 3 and Gears 3 because it's difficult to compare a game with practically zero character models to games that are full of 'em. How can you say a car looks better than a person or vice-versa? The only thing that can really be compared is the lighting, environments, etc., but there's a lot you can't compare.

Forza games have 2xAA. Gears of War 3 has no AA. And Uncharted 3 has some weird ass edge blur system. Of those games Forza 4 will be the only one to have real AA

That may be, but as of now it doesn't exactly look like it.

Whatever you say I'm just putting the facts on the table. BTW The highest polygon models in forza 4 will be 800,000 polygons. UC3/Gears 3 would have at best 80K models in cutscenes. Not to mention Forza 4 is 60 FPS.

Forza 4 can't be compared graphically to a game like U3 or Gears 3 since they have COMPLETELY different art styles.

Forza has a more realistic art style, while Uncharted and Gears have a more cartoon-ish art style.
It's like compareing a game like Halo to Killzone It's just stupid.

Besides, Art style>Graphics.

Forza 4 looks famazing. However, it still has nothing on Battlefield 3.

Of course is doesn't, BF 3, from what we've seen, is running on a freaking super computer. lol

I hope forza 5 goes against Gran tursirmo 6 to see who's the true top racing game

Actually, Uncharted 3 uses MLAA.

Yeah on a sells aspect, but as an overall game and it's quality forza can beat gran tursimo and take some of their supporters.
