ok, i don't know what the rest of you are looking at, but the Xbox1 could NEVER do that pic in real time. You are looking for detail in buildings that are in the distance. Your eyes in real life could not pick up the detail until you got closer. The screen looks like someone took a cheap digital camera and snapped a pic. That is a MAJOR upgrade over this generation. The only thing ugly is that speedtree.
Oh by the way, this is a game where you're racing other cars right? The ability for the BACKGROUND scenery to look that good, when it's not the focus of the game is great.
Wait...I've got a good idea. How about they drop the polys in the cars to make the scenery look better....Give me a freakin break
