There's no way that's what it looks like. It's coming out a year after PGR3, I just don't believe they're legit. The license plate even says GT2, coincidence?

well
rallisport challenge 2 had grass on my xbox...and it made the game look that much more real.
this game really does look like a xbox game nothing about it says next gen...or even last gen for that matter
i expected somthing at least on par with pgr3...

So either they are lying, or stupid for releasing shots with effects turned off.
EDIT, at least theyve got till march now to sort it (probably - its definately delayed, actual date to be confirmed.) No longer holiday 2006

im happy about the delay, i dont care for them to rush this game and there are already too many games for my budget this fall/winter.

not true - they specifically stated in the recent 'pitpass' or whatever its called, that they just implemented 3D grass (not that i care that much) but it does show they are not being entirely truthful. (or like i said, stupid, by releasing pics without all effects.)
i meant in the pics

So why release screenshots without these effects?
These screenshots were actually done a while back in order to get approval and make it into current issues of gaming magazines. The effects were not finalized at the time. Just because you see a screenshot today doesn't mean it was made today.

S's on the front are inaccurate, the large S is shifted, the decals are missing on the forza car, why are the windows ALWAYS TINTED?

HDR and grass isn't going to sharpen the texture work on the cars, its not going to make the cars skinning accurate, its not going to make the cars tailights accurate(all refering to the EVO)Its a plain shitty job, the car arent accurate to there real life counterparts

i dont think car accuracy is something you need to worry about. the first forza was excellent in there area and as for the tinted windows, you are bitching about something that almost every car sim suffers from.
i dont know enough about forza 2 yet but i know in past generations, tinted windows was to hide the fact that there was a low quality/no driver in the vehicle.
also at least forza has an excuse, you can actually tint your windows while modding your car, so maybe any imperfections you see are the result of mods. either way, i say sit down and shut up before judging a game before its released especially since the prequal (spelling?) was a proven game

Plus have any of you even been to a racetrack, the grass is so freakin short it might aswell not be there, thats if its not covered with gravel traps.
Even so if they spend a bunch of power on the grass it would comprimise the cars, then yous would moan even more. They just cant win.
For the people who said it only looks as good as ps2/xbox, get a grip.
Aside from that, graphics are only say 30% of forza, the gameplay was amazing, and far far more fun than gran turismo, GT4 was a total waste of time, of course thats only my opinion.
at the end of the day, dont like it? dont buy it. Ill buy it on release no matter what it looks like.

I see where your coming from, but they have improved slightly, and that picture is hardly ideal in terms of viewing the background. I see you went to forzamotorsport.net for that pic - if you look in the pictures thread (i think) someone gives a comparison of forza1 pictures pre-release to final ones: the difference is quite large. Given the improvement in this game in just one month (since the 1st ingame pics) and the time remaining till release, im feeling happier
for all those too lazy to follow links, here are the others:

the sky is blue and the clouds are white, and they look real.
that electricity pylon looks real
those trees in the background look real
the grass is green and the road is grey, and your moving that fast you cant see it anyway.
the car is covered in jaggy refletions and your whining about the freakin environments?

IGN's preview states that the game is only 60% done graphically. at this stage the game shouldnt even look this good especially when the real goods gets put on near the end of development.

pfff, IGN can lick my balls
- they think Gears gameplay will become repetitive, yet don't justify why this should be more so than any other gameI don't believe any of their shit now
yet strangely i still find myself being drawn back there.

Any game that has to devote a significant amount of processing power to physics isn't going to have the best looking graphics.
The GT series prides itself on being a simulator but it's only skin deep once you realize the cars can't take damage and the physics are just faked (though pretty damn well). Forza has real damage and real physics... it's a REAL simulator. What you get for graphics is based on what's left after you've calculated everything else
With that said the shots we have look pretty good. IMO if you threw on some FSAA they would already look better then Burnout or Test Drive Unlimited. It's obvious they're in dire need of some FSAA, a bit more detail in the backgrounds as well as some serious texture clean up but aside from that it's better then most of the racers already out on the 360...
I'd say it looks better then: NFS MW, Full Auto, Burnout, Ridge Racer 6, and TDU. I don't think it looks as good as PGR3 but it's also not out yet so time will tell..
Even still, I'd much rather play RSC3 over this... any day of the week
