Possibly because it's only a virtual (and very rough) approximation of a real-world scene and the indirect lighting methods in their global illumination engine don't produce photo-realistic results. Maybe.
Joking aside, I think it looks ok. Photo-realism in video games is years away yet. Decades even.

And an XBOne.
Prague does zero for me.
City tracks ftl. I know they're good for graphics, but I'd sooner see Paul Ricard in there, over some flashy cityscape.
Maybe I'm just old fashioned.
Edit... I do have to say though, even with all this "bad" news, it does still look decent, and I don't doubt it'll be a cracking game.

Forza was the only thing that would have swayed me against the negatives the XBONE presents, loss of those tracks and a roster of 200 cars plus all the cynical milking of customers with day one DLC etc was the final hammer blow tbh. MS will be losing out on me (and countless others by the sounds of it) bothering to order so XBONE, Copy of Forza, DLC & XBL revenues missed thanks to a combination of a rushed, lacking in content title and their profiteering. Throw in the issues with wheel compatibility again and there will be a lot of the more hardcore driving/racing fans who will just stick with other systems and titles to get their fix.
Real shame as I've had some awesome races on Forza with some of the CS lot.

Well that aswell. I haven't seen anything to make me want to buy one yet.
This + all the numbers.

Flol nice!
By folk you mean idiots. I expected a drop in numbers, possibly to 300 or 350 but not as much as to 200, then there's the tracks I expected some gone but not as many, some brilliant tracks gone plus a couple which were recently modelled (Hockenhiem and Infineon) which you'd have thought would have been future proofed or at least enough of a scan etc taken to model for next gen given how it was so near to release and the development for 5 already in early stages.
It's ok though, we've got the Top Gear test track (who the hell uses that it's a boring flat airfield location) and Indianapolis which is hateful to drive oh and a Tilke designed classic which is always something people are clamouring to race on.
I'm sure MS will sell customers back all the cars modelled and scanned for forza 4 as DLC but held back a bit like they did with Horizon so we'll get back most of the cars from 4 once we've parted with £100 or so for the game.

Microsoft today provided more details on the Forza Motorsport 5 Car Pass, the digital offering announced last week for Turn 10's Xbox One title that includes access to dozens of vehicles. Chief among the new details is information about pricing, with Microsoft revealing the pass will sell for $50 and feature multiple car packs.
Each Car Pack will include ten cars, and the first will arrive alongside Forza 5 at launch on November 22. Subsequent packs will be available the first week of every month, starting in January 2014 and running through March 2014.
The first expansion, the LaFerrari Car Pack, introduces ten vehicles, including the 950 horsepower LaFerrari that has yet to be released in the real world. The other nine cars will be announced on November 18, Microsoft said.
Individual cars will be available for purchase separately, but Microsoft said buying the $50 pass will allow players to save 18 percent compared to purchasing individually. For the first time in the history of the franchise, every vehicle in Forza 5 will be available in Forzavista mode. This will allow users to explore the inside and outside of every car, Microsoft said.

If 'flubbit' hadn't already taken my money for Forza, I would be cancelling my order.

$50 isn't so bad. Even if it translates to £50 over here I don't mind. It's a franchise I enjoy, a great game for 'socialising' with mates over and it's cheaper than a tank of petrol. Hardly worth getting worked up about (all in my opinion of course). Things have been going this way for some time now and will likely continue to do so; the 'Net we love/hate makes this type of content delivery so easy and publishers want to maximise their profits for funding towards future titles (and to keep shareholders happy).

The problem is you just know the first DLC packs with be a few MBs at most, simply unlocking the cars in the game as they'll already be modeled. It's just plain wrong, this stinks of an unfinished / rushed game to get it out for the console release. Sony did the same with GT5 to just get the bloody thing out after years of delays, and will most likely do the same with GT6 which for the next 6 months after launch will still be work in progress. I want a finished product!
