I'm thrilled this game is coming to GamePass, lol. I'm going to go INNNNNNN with the photos.

I mean yes, technically you are correct. However, I can guarantee only very few people will put so much effort in just one photo.

There are many gifs etc here, too, that look just as sharp. It's about the native 4K resolution in combination with high-quality textures, motion-blur, effects and 4x MSAA. That's where the great image quality comes from.

4K 4XMSAA + FXAA

I don't think Forza photomode adds any graphical improvements? or at least only a few minor improvements right? I think DF tested it, but I can't find the video or article.

Only post effects.

Fantastic screenshots in this thread. Too bad I have no talent to make such shots by myself ...

It's like PGR4 screenshots and gifs all over again, which given the developer pedigree, is really, really fitting.

space_nut said:
I just....nutted

Dat graphical prowess! The lighting is insanely real O.o I'm blown away their new per pixel lighting is photorealistic. Simply closest thing to real life my goodness.

Damn dude. And this is but a very small selection from just the first several pages of your post history. Would it be fair of me to conclude that you are somewhat impressed with the visuals? :p

I knew the Cerbera was back in but seeing it in-game... can't wait.

Focus RS rolling up on the first dirt race really is something.

Complicated · Sep 24, 2018

This isn't the proper thread for it, but juxtaposing some of these environment shots with those weird Crew 2 auto-generated storefronts would probably be interesting.

Perhaps it's time to necro-bump the racing game graphics thread.

That was actually something I appreciated right away: Signage in Horizon 4 is clearly manually designed: Pick-up times for post make sense, restaurant menus have appropriate items/prices, and promo ads for the festival are the places you'd expect them (including alongside junk on the ground).

I did see one restaurant menu which had Tuna Mayo sandwich repeated about 4 times...

I think most of the texture data comes from photogrammetry so that's not surprising. These guys are doing some crazy pre-production reference collecting.

Reminds me of Need for Speed Rivals. That game got the wind/autumn/woods feeling down perfectly

This makes me reminisce about when PGR 3 came out and I thought it was amazing. It is crazy how far they have come.

space_nut · Sep 24, 2018

I just noticed that in the final game street lights, flares, etc all cast shadows to your car. So when you drive past them you'll see your car cast a shadow from each light source O.o

Firefly · Sep 24, 2018

If there is any game that can showcase what difference a top tier lighting artist can make, this is it.
