WTF... was all that about?! and secondly who cares about anything you just said?
lol I dont think any of the machines pull off photorealism tbh. All have their weak and strong points. I think people were merely saying of the two the lighting and car models on GT are more realistic looking than Forza's. I don't think anyone here is under the illusion that the games will look as good as the press shots released by PD and T10.
But hasn't it always been like this since Forza came out?... I remember first seein Forza graphics compared to GT's and thought they looked cartoony. Nothing has changed!.
The thing that put me off PC gaming was the cost/complication. I've seen some stunning clips of rfactor no doubt on some circa 2k monster PC build running a top of the line gfx card but I'm not prepared to spend that for what is not (IMO) a £1700+ improvement from a console racer. Then there's the hassle of having to fiddle about with settings, check requirements, meh hassle.
seriously lol
those GFX are way beyond ps3 running at full tilt or 2 x ps3 for that matter
putting the more powerfull x360 into context, the gfx card on that is probably slower than a 8700 gt from nividia (in running a crap laptop card in my mid tower pc 8600 gs 512mb THEEEE worst card in history and its running HL2 better than 360 at full HD 27-30fps with 'almost' everything full although no AA or top texture filtering.. and in that context we have had :
GeForce 8800 GT
GeForce 8800 GTS
GeForce 8800 GTX
GeForce 8800 Ultra
GeForce 9400 GT
GeForce 9500 GT
GeForce 9600 GSO
GeForce 9600 GT
GeForce 9800 GTX
GeForce 9800 GTX+
GeForce 9800 GX2
GeForce G100
GeForce GT 120
GeForce GT 130
GeForce GTS 150
GeForce G210
GeForce GT 220
GeForce GTX 260 Core 21
GeForce GTX 275
GeForce GTX 280
GeForce GTX 285
GeForce GTX 295
all faster in line each one moving the game on in big leaps..
and a slight pause for the new Tesla DX11 card.. not to mention the new ATI range with 1600 800mhz stream processors and 1 - 2 GB of video ram, 4 - 8 GB system ram on Quad core 2.66 - 4.0GHZ CPU
ps3 has 512mb !
Seriously, really and truly dont get how people can think that at the moment a ps3 or xbox360 can run genuine full 1080p at 60FPS with all that AA and lighting + Polys when only a top spec £1000 custom gaming pc can manage that.
same was said for forza 3
in the end give a ps3 2-3 seconds at 1 frame to render and yes it will do that
but, does anyone actually care?
If it's a result of the content for the game needing that much space I will piss myself. Will make for some amusing backtracking on GTplanet from the haters siting 2 discs as being proof Forza is inferior.

wasted effort id say ha ha ha ha
your a bit bit stupid
being so peevish about a forum post are you 15yrs old ?
the point was made, a console doesn't really do good graphics, sure to many console types they probably seem great but there never anywhere near as good as a pc.
a console is like an 330ci vs F430
yes they are more expensive ( £300 vs £500 ? big deal TBH) but at least the marketing shots are real gfx rather than fake stills
only one game can actually make use of a hulking pc's capabilities and i'm getting bored of hearing the C word!
Phrase "gives a s**t" springs to mind. I've got Forza 3 to keep me occupied until whenever GT5 shows its face. If it's any good I'll buy it, if it's w**k I'll just stick with Forza until Forza 4 comes out.
