Your act was stale 12 months ago. For a PC guy, you sure like your console thread drive-bys.
Utterly dull now.

Blazing through those fields looks like so much fun. The sense of speed in this game is excellent, also.
Leave him be. Games like The Order 1886, Uncharted 4 and Driveclub are going to cause a good degree of salt with some members just on the basis of their graphical potency, despite coming from such "weak" hardware. Certain people were so adamant these consoles were deeply under powered and just wouldn't be able to deliver the kind of improvements in graphical fidelity expected of a new generation. The reality, especially from exclusives, has been quite the contrary.
I am yet to see a PC game that looks as stunning as the Order. ( Looks implying visuals and not necessary tech ). I would be glad if someone shows it to me but that is for another thread I suppose. Eitherways I am happy with the capability of the current generation of consoles.
Absolutely. With launch window games already looking spectacular in Killzone Shadow Fall, Ryse and InFamous Second Son, I was already confident we were going to be given a visual tour de force this generation. Games like Driveclub, The Order 1886 and Uncharted 4 are just further proving that.
For better or worse :S
As far as we know, it's properly open-world. Also, darn-it, I accidentally posted in the wrong thread:
LOL, that looks like so much fun.
You can almost hear the guy in the first gif saying woooooooo...uh oh....oh !$!@@!#!
Game can't get here fast enough, can't wait to pre-load.

Wow you really showed me, can't argue with such thorough logic and such a well thought out counter argument.

That track is fantastic. I love how in career play, it tends to put it in for the final event races. Dramatic finish if there ever was one.
What game?
Forza 5 (I just started career play the other week)
Ah!
No problem, just doing my part.
This beauty right here:

Is that like way too many particles and bits and bobs...? How...with that lighting too.
Looks insane. Everything just looks too good. I hope it controls nice and responsive.

amazing. the forza 5 dlc tracks look sooo good, the ring especially. nice gifs. <3 forza 5
Blazing through those fields is actually what destroys any interest I ever could have had in the game...
What a waste of the Forza physics engine...
After playing Grid 2 for several weeks now at sweet 60fps, and recently getting NFS Rivals I've realized I really can't play 30fps racers anymore. I thought maybe I could, but no, I really can't. Holy shit that's just unbearable. Fortunately there's a 60fps workaround, but that was quite the wake up call. A real shame Evo decided on 30fps for DriuveCloobz. Going forward absolutely no racers should "target" 30fps, no matter what.
People like racing games for different reasons, and I'm in the camp of having loved the original Horizon because that driving model as the basis for the festival/street races made the game that much more satisfying. The same will be true here. The horizon games existing doesn't make the vanilla Forza series cease to be.
Have you already pretty much cleaned up the career events in 5? I need gamertags from people who've done more of the races to populate my race times charts.

I agree. 60fps is very important for this genre. I'm on the same boat. Played a lot of 60fps racing games in the past and i just can't get to the slower ones anymore. Its too bad that there are slower ones in this day and age.
Opinions, they're nice, but yours ain't universal.
They're appealing to some people for reasons that aren't yours, that's all.
It's indeed what I personally firmly believe. As far as I'm concerned, 60fps is of utmost importance in two genres: fighters and racers. Hell, throw 2D/2.5D platformers in there as well, shit feels so sluggish at 30fps.
Oh I agree..the Forza proper games are the best...FM3 and 4 were MUCH better games than GT5 and 6...it just makes my cringe seeing a Lamborghini plow across an open field at 150mph with seemingly no I'll effects...heck, even the BMW X5(?) In that posted video would shred itself apart doing what it did in the video..
Idk I'm all for the open world/club/street/event/cannonball run type racing games...bur the offroading just kills it for me...
Unfortunately I have not picked up an Xbone yet so I had to sadly skip 5...but Forza 6 and Halo 5 next fall will force me to pull the trigger...
it also kills the cars, lol
Stay away from 30 fps racers (and their threads) then. Problem solved.
I mean, do you see me moaning in any FPS thread that I don't like FPS?

Can't imagine slower frame rates being more appealing to anyone, especially when it comes to racing games.
Yep, not your game.
Give me stable 30 fps any day over choppy 60 fps (Gran Turismo, I'm looking at you).
And I also prefer my games looking gorgeous than simply looking pretty.
That's why I have absolutely no problems with 30 fps racers.
This is a next-gen racing graphics face-off thread, not a *insert game you're a fanboy of that you feel incomprehensibly slighted about" thread.
Heaven forbid someone have a dissenting opinion. I'm also in the camp that'll take smooth gameplay over ridiculously over the top graphics all day long. Most people who've played a lot of racing games at 60fps really find it hard to go back to 30. It just feels so unnatural. 60fps feels like driving, 30 feels like a damn Tony Hawk game with cars.

I disagree. I've been playing mostly racing games for years (And I'm pretty good at them) and 30 fps doesn't bother me at all to the extent that you're describing. I can switch from Forza to something like Dirt 3 with no problem.
60fps is preferable, but I've never understood people who list 30 fps as a deal breaker. It's just not that important to me, I guess. But you know, opinions and all that.

F5 doesn't get enough credit for a launch 60fps title

Why does Forza Horizon 2 look nicer than DriveClub? I guess I just prefer the aesthetic?
Okay, I'll just remind it to you next time I see you moaning in a 'DriuveCloobz' thread, then.
Loving the hyperbole, here.
How come I couldn't hear anybody from the usual sim racing suspects who've tried it at E3 or Gamescom complain about DC being like a damn Tony Hawk game with cars?
There must be reason, right?
Selective listening I suppose.

This looks incredible. I wondered what it was at first, then i realised....60 fps and a launch title. Good golly!!!
only by fixing the aliasing alone on F6, that is gonna be gorgeous
Links, please.
When I played Forza 5 at an EB Games demo station I was really really unimpressed by the visuals. Was that just because it was a demo or..? Demo stations probably aren't the best judge of visuals I suppose since you're so close to the fairly big screen. Would probably look better if I were further away, the aliasing was super noticeable.

Same here, textures were pretty bad too
Aliasing is still noticeable, but i tried the game a couple of weeks before on a demo station and i don't know if it was the tv settings or something but it looked 10 times worse than what i got on my Sony W905A at launch
I rented it and played it a bit. It looks okay. Beyond last gen definitely but not overly impressive.

Probably because demo stations usually have the sharpness cranked to the max.
Have you ever driven a car in real life?
I would be interested to know how 60fps can re-create g-force and stuff.

I need to go play Forza again.
