I can't believe that this gets an extra thread. Every racing game can have Porsches now without asking EA.
This year it's harder to get licenses for Aston Martin and Ferrari.
Official "Suzuka" will be more rare than Porsches in a few months, maybe it is already, haven't done the math.

I wish you hadn't quoted that because now that I look at it, that brake pedal looks like some PSOne level shit

Because the best selling simulation racing game of all time, after 20 years finally has the Porsche licence.
Yep, this is true.

A few months later the Forza 6 Porsche expansion came out and there was talk it cost MS a lot less to produce because they worked directly with Porsche, instead of going through EA. The dark times are over.

I found it much more interesting when Assetto Corso got Porsches last year and didn't even have to pay EA in 2016. But to be fair, that had it's own thread as well back then.

Porsches are overrated.

It's called scapes. It is basically a photo with light information to adjust focus, colouring and lighting.

Just a second, those are photos aren't they? Legit serious question, that isn't a screen grab is it? The sharpness of the railings and stuff in that first shot is unreal, surely that's a photograph?
And the stuff inside the cars with the dashboard etc, photo or screenshot? I'm genuinely confused. If that's a screenshot then.....

Background is a real photo [game will feature hundreds of them], but car is added via game rendering.
This game mode is called "Scapes"

The cars are the in-game models. The backdrop is a photograph in some of these. (The non-track ones)
Ah cheers, that makes sense. Still, still mega impressive. I guess the car interiors are all in game, which is pretty jaw dropping in itself.
No, those were still in-game rendered areas.
The 2 first images in this thread are of the new GT Sport feature: Scapes.
Real life photo (backgrounds) where you can place the in-game cars + some extra features.

Unknown at the moment as the servers are offline at the moment. But Kaz's blog post made it sound like they'd only be teased rather than playable.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
That has got to be something super imposed on an actual picture, right ? RIGHT ?
holy shit if not
it's scape mode image (real background photo + ingame car)

Again, yes.
All of these images are from a mode where the car is superimposed on a real image with some spatial and lighting data included. The environments aren't being rendered by the game.
It's a real-world photo. It's the "Scapes" feature, which is awesome in its own way, but it's 4K photographs that they set up meta-data for so the game can superimpose photo-mode cars into (including changing some lighting variables). It also lets them have like 1000 of the darned things. It's a cool update to the photo travel mode, but it's not game graphics in the way anyone normally talks about.
