Say cheeeeese! Forza Motorsport 2 "photo" causes ruckus online |
Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: Digg, Turn 10

Over at the 1P Start blogs, this "photo" of Turn 10's Forza Motorsport 2 caused a bit of ruckus - the type of ruckus that spilled itself over to Digg, even. Because apparently, when it was first revealed, a couple of people primarily thought that it was a picture, and not an actual screenshot from the game.
We're not surprised. The attention to detail really is amazing - make sure you click the above image to enlarge the pic; the thumbnail is nothing compared to the full-sized version. And while we've seen other Forza 2 pics (and whole vids too), what I find interesting in this photo-screenshot is the reflection on the bumper of the car. (Chris L.'s pants are wet again.)
Any innocent passer-by (with no clue whatsoever as to where he/she is) in these blogs would think that it really is an actual photo. But we know most of you are gamers, so... what's your take on this? How photo-realistic is it to you?

There would have to be something _seriously_ wrong with your eyes, maybe even blindness, to mistake this for real life.

Anyways, the reflections are definately amazing. Having a seperate reflection for each plane, rather then on the whole side/front/back of the car is a first....

What do I mean? Watch a movie, wait for a sunlit scene. Bright, isn't it? Now watch almost any racer you'd care to name. Even when the shadows under the cars are clearly defined with sharp edges, and the skies are completely clear, the whole look of the imagery is... overcast. As though the sun is perpetually blocked by clouds.
Attention to the color gamut is the solution. And it's so easy, it can be done on the PS2! The excuse for failing to achieve this look on current-gen consoles is incompetence.

I love Forza - but GTHD has them beat with graphics as of right now.

If you want accurate physics then I suggest you try out some PC sims like NetKarPRO
