Forza 3 vs. Forza 2: Screenshot Comparison (Ferrari, BMW, Audi)

Blacktigra - 80 days 18 hours ago

Well IMO the lighting is a whole lot better in most of the pics and the Cars look a little better but other then that its not as much better as the reviews or Turn 10 would have you to think ....at least by judging from these pictures.

Thats because there barely is a difference and i would go as far as to say in some shots Forza 2 looks better

@ Blacktigra

reviewers have played the game, so they should now more than us about how the game looks. I mean judging by the demo F3 is much better looking than F2.

Well it looks better but is really hard to tell unless in motion just like the UC2 versus UC1 screens or even GT. My 1st sight of Forza3 was wow unlike 2 so I know there's a big difference.

You really don't get a sense of the dynamic lighting, real time, dynamic reflections and shadows and the track detail from screens. Forza 3 looks absolutely fantastic. I recently rented Forza 2 from Gamefly since I had never played a Forza game and there is no comparing the two. Forza 3 is a huge leap technically over the second.

their is a huge difference

Forza 2 had terrible Anti-Aliasing, Forza 3 greatly improved on it. The lighting in F3 was improved too, along with the landscape. Other than that i didnt really notice a difference though.

Only MS can get away with simply polishing a turd and scoring above a 9 out of 10 from reviewers. Those must have been some swingin' swag bags this time around...

And the pictures above show that what I said is not too far off the mark. They simply polished their racing game and manage to score the same or higher than Forza 2. I have played them and like them somewhat but they have no excuse for simply tossing some polish on the game and releasing yet another forza in a couple years time. Any other company would have been nocked down for no new innovation and to deny that is simply fanboyish. Call me names all you want but that does not change the fact that media bias is rampant and heavily in favor of MS and their swag bag tossing PR folks...

Ok it's your honest opinion sure, but are you going to buy the game...uh no. So why do you care? Are you bored? Oh wait you saw something about Forza/Halo/Gears/MS...etc so you thought it would be a good time to flame a post.

It's not worth the 60 bucks. I will rent it but never buy it. It's the beauty of GameFly.

Anyone who has even touched the demo of Forza Motorsport 3 can clearly see a difference between the two games. Hell, you think the some-odd 30 reviewers who said it looks better than Forza 2 are being bribed or something?

soxfan2005 - 80 days 15 hours ago

Of course that's what they believe. They simply cannot accept the fact than an excellent racing sim exists outside the Sony Universe, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

You can't play screenshots, but that's all some people have to cling to while they wait (and wait, and wait). Three 90+ rated racing sims in four years - now that's a developer that knows what they are doing.

On topic - I've always though Forza 2 was a very good looking game, so any improvement will be a huge plus in my book.

cheapndirty - 80 days 15 hours ago

Did you even play the demo? Do you have forza2? The looks better than 'polished'. Evidently you don't intend to own the game or even play it so why are you here? Shouldn't you be in an Uncharted 2 section claiming GOTY? Below is you from last week:

"The only thing keeping my 360 in my house is the fact that they have yet to cancel my Live account even though my credit card is off file and that I use the Three-Fix-Me for Netflix only. Trading it in for any one of those games puts you in the green if you ask me."

You cant dispute that f3 is AAA. And it certainly looks better than a 'polished F2'. So 360 owners have a quality racing sim that they play NOW and all you can do is come in here and try to undermine it. Perhaps a dedicated gt5 forum would be the best place for you to do this.

Well lets be honest here, was there a dramatic difference in the visuals between GT3 and GT4? Nope, so why would you expect a game that is on the same console as it's predecessor to look dramatically different?

Its scary how in at least half of the pictures, the cars look better in Forza 2. The environments look better across the board in FM3, but otherwise, how dissapointing are the graphics...

ambientFLIER - 80 days 4 hours ago

That's because most of the time the cars in Forza 2 look like they are made of glass. The reflections are way over the top in some of the shots, and it catches your eye, even though technically they look worse.

beardpapa - 80 days 13 hours ago

are you referring to the 2nd picture with the ferrari? I actually like the F2 pic a lot. The lighting just makes that shot look amazing. You can see from the rest of the pictures T10 gave a lot of attention to background and track details.

Though I'm sure it would help immensely to see these pics in a 1280x720 format. I work in the industry as an editor and trust, files always look better shrunken down. I'd like to see these blown up to their actual sizes.

A screen cap picture just doesn't show the differences. Playing the two games are like night and day. Forza 3 looks so much better than Forza 2, it's almost frightening. My only issue is that the appearance of speed is to high. In real life, on open road, the countryside doesn't go by as fast as it appears to in the game.

Forza runs at 60 frames per second. So, your "facts" are based on a single screenshot, in other words, 1/60th of a second of a game. Wow, pretty overwhelming evidence there. Who knows, maybe in the future you can improve your standards and base your opinions on a full 1/2 second of a game.

By the way, do you enjoy playing screenshots? Is it as good as playing sales?

i also enjoyed mass effect and gow in its full glory on pc....u know, those bullshots that you thought youd get for the 360? the games really do look that well, just not on 360.

so because it looks like crap, you bring up the fact that its at 60fps?

is gt5 not at 60fps? how come that doesnt look like last gen sh1t?
