viewing them in new window helps....gives the R34 justice
The first one has great motion blur

There's some but not much, I doubt I'll notice it during gameplay. But then again, I am blind.

It looks almost identicle to the older shots released to me? except even more blur so you see less of the problem in the old pics (environments).

Lighting still looks all fucked up in that 2nd pic to me, just doesn't seem right at all on the car.

Im all for Forza 2, but ffs how about showing some screenshots from actual various driving views that we will be driving with. Or are they hiding something?

Sonic the HDR reflection off the body of car looks realistic.

They're trying to model the way light on a bright sunny day reflects off the body of a car.

You'll notice too all the shadows are self casting and correct.

Sonic Jam · Post by **Sonic Jam** » 22 Sep 2006 04:33 pm

But that shot of the real car looks nothing like the way they are doing it?

The way they are doing it just makes the cars exterior look like plastic.

The motion blur looks photoshopped to me. In the first pic you can see bits of the car are blurred on the right, and on the far left of the pic, even the black border has been blurred.

Looks like they masked the car out of a solid pic and blurred the rest.

A cars exterior is made of gloss paint that is very plastic/glass like in reflectivity. I can see the realistic lighting model they're trying to achieve. If anything the only problem I think is it's a bit overdone, if they tone it down a bit it would probably look better.

Looks good to me. The blur is photoshop, and I suspect the jaggies may be a result of the non-standard resolution of the images. At 60fps this game should be sweet as. No cockpit view is a shame though.

The developers mentioned it will have 4xFSAA,but this build doesn't have any that's for sure.

Every time Forza2 shots come out, people slam them.
