    What is with the Aston in the first screenshot? it seems to be on stilts

    This group of screenshots really aren’t very flattering.

    From the crappy orange disc brakes in the 2nd pic to the terrible lighting on the rear of the F430 in the 3rd pic, these just don’t look nearly as polished/touched up. Course textures/models seem low, especially in the 6th picture. The underside/bottom of the R8 looks sort of strange in the last 4 pictures as well.

    Even if that is supposed to be an N24, it still seems really high.

    I agree about this batch of screenshots. Shift is looking better.

    F1Racer: I agree about this batch of screenshots. Shift is looking better.

    the track textures look 10 times better than shift

    Those cars look like plastic cars… GT5 is doing a better job there.

    Not if it’s the PC version of SHIFT. I think that ‘s one of the advantage SHIFT has over Forza or Gran Turismo since the two are limited to console(s)- the PC version will not only have a much higher FPS (of course depending on your PC and you GFX card) but you’ll also get a much better texture and better Anti-Aliasing. Not to mention better wheel support.

    in photomode. :happy:

    For in game FM3 videos check this site: http://www.gamersyde.com
    They have several FM3 videos in 1280×720 at 60fps. The game looks nothing like this photomode screens IMO.

    Lol so true, judging by those hi-res movies the graphics arent that much..

    Nobody has even seen GT 5 yet. That cgi movie doesn’t count either. Also I’ll buy the Forza 3 LE if it comes in a tin. I’m a sucker for those things.

    I have seen GT5 in fact I was playing it yesterday (its called GT5p). Oh and that CGi trailer was ALL in engine, with GT5′s tech. The story was on the site a couple of weeks ago.

    Okay that I can agree with. Supposedly GT 5 itself will have an updated graphics engine, damage, better online, better physics, and please your wife too according to the fangirls who have only “played” the CGI movie.
