I mean, the game looks very nice, but it's disappointing to see so many tiny details created for this game only to have them compromised somewhat by relatively poor image quality.

Agreed 100%, in the Norway video, the fans and foliage on the side are completely butchered by the image quality. It really isn't even close to the PR b-roll put out a week back.

It's like.. what am I even looking at?

I guess they're all crazy too​

not only differences in time of day (and different cars), but possible differences in capture method and image compression make it hard to objectively compare those pics

One of those guys works for digital foundry. And has played the game on multiple occasions. But I guess he's a crazy fanboy too.

@GoldenGlove what do you think of those responses? Are they "golden"?

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Yes and in that thread people have no problem admitting that the PR shyts are more clean and detailed. Why is that so hard for you to do here even though you grabbed the same pic they are refering to?

There is definitely less detail in the retail, but i could care less because Forza Horizon 2 is the GOAT right now, and no one is really checking for this game.

From a user on beyond3d

watched a couple of videos. the IQ is less than the shots we saw earlier. Not terribly less, but visually less without needing to squint to see it. There are many aliasing artifacts when you look at the other cars go by, quite shimmery and occurs often.

The rear view mirror is missing a _lot_ of models, trees, or generally environment. Also it' lacks AA entirely in the rear view as well.
I found the cars to look darker, or have much harsher shadows than it should in pure blue sky sunlight?

I did manage to catch poor aliasing issues in the power lines from time to time, but overall, I found it to be really good.

Take things out of context brehs.

The user you quoted is responding to videos hosted on Gamersyde.com which were encoded in lower quality than previous videos.

That older vid is also a higher bitrate:
50670 bitrate

Compared to new ones:
33465 bitrate

Also that older one is 29.97 fps, rather than the new captures at 60fps (though this shouldn't and BlimBlim mentioned earlier, matter as much)

From someone who owns the game:

Okay guys. Trust me on this.. This game is TIGHT. In the best way.

Everything is super sleek and streamlined... and that music. I'm doing my best to capture the best music ATM just to give you a sample... But I can't spend all night trying to persuade people on the fence here.

The game is a blast, which is what matters in the end.

The visuals are FANTASTIC. You will not be disappointed. The studio's put an immense amount of love into the cars and tracks and it DEFINITELY shows.

Not only do the cars look brilliant but the vistas and the weather and the lighting ... I just can't.. I can't explain how nice it is. And the music...

fukk the GIF's that got you impossibly hyped up, fukk the tiny jaggies. That's just the NeoGAF effect.

Go out and buy this game. You won't regret it even if you're not the biggest racing fan. It's THAT good.

EDIT:

Great, just realized that the music gets automatically muted when you capture video. I'm really sorry guys.

Heck, this gif from that same user I just quoted is of lower quality and still has the same level of detail.

Don't you have another thread on here where you're shytting on Digital Foundry's credibility because of Ryse?

Cot damn breh, you're all over the place right now, first Neogaf sucks now you use them as a source, then Digital Foundry sucks, but now you're using them as a source...

That's the same guy that posted the original comparison shots and had this to say

I'd hate to shyt on some people's parades here but I can confirm that the IQ is not nearly as god like as some gifs would have you believe.

There's jaggies everywhere.

From the cars to the railings in the background while you choose your livery.

The game is ace though. Plays wonderfully.

So do you believe him or no?

Where did I say they suck? I said they admitted they got something wrong, that's it.

Try harder instead of coming up with excuses.

No you are wrong.

 

[CurrencyChase]

No you are wrong.

You'll see just like infamous..

 

[MeachTheMonster]

And check that gif @Fatboi1

In all the pr stuff you can see the back of the car and lots more detail in the mirrors. In that gif you can not.

Don't know why these things are so hard for y'all to admit.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

You'll see just like infamous..

Just like infamous @Rekkapryde was still posting bullshots. That @Fatboi1 could not replicate in photomode. Then you all pretended it didn't happen.

Didn't even read them.

I'm sure the game will look fine in motion, and since there's going to be a PS+ version of it I can try it out for myself fairly soon anyway.

You can repeat this nonsense over and over but people who own the game confirmed it looked just as good if not better than the screens you claimed were superior to the retail version.

Isn't it ironic pretty much only you were adamant that the game looks worse than what they showed previously??
