They PURPOSEFULLY slowed down the preview footage to say hey, look at our amazing RT and graphics quality! There was so much focus on it then the examination of it after it is ripped out or reduced so badly for the PC version deserves much negative attention.

For whatever reason MS refuses to let there games look as best as possible on stronger systems (PC). I feel this is the reason Starfield is 30 fps on console because the S model can not run it higher but i bet the X can but they want both to be the same.

@@jcaashby3 They prioritized the Xbox versions. No question. Even with this, the Series S version looks incredibly poor. There is little doubt that if the PC version is amply optimized then high end configurations can do the effects in the preview videos. An RTX4080 is easily more than twice as fast as Series X, not that you would notice in this game. There appears to be plenty of low hanging fruit to improve the performance of the PC version that has not been taken as DF mentioned. For example the CPU threading is poor, and for some reason DLSS is badly implemented, it barely boosts the framerate. Two areas that could deliver significant performance gains, especially regards ray tracing. If they do not fix these and get the quality out of this game engine in the next few months then people should start to be fired because I don't know what exactly this massive team at Turn 10 has been doing all these years.

Publishers should be taught one of the basics in Marketing: never overpromise and then underdeliver. In some cases, it's better to tone down initial presentations to the client on purpose, and then blow their socks off with the final presentation because you over-delivered on their expectations. But the truth is, you just managed their expectations in such a way that made it possible to smash what they were expecting. Too much hype from the beginning can come back to bite you because even a good product can be seen as a failure because impossible standards were set right at the beginning.

100% agree. This may sound weird to say, but even the Crew Motorfest car models look sharper than this game.

The funny thing is I find raytraced reflections to be entirely unrealistic in cars which is why I'm shocked that DF loved the original trailer. Cars do not have mirrored finish. The doors and hoods are not mirrors. No matter how high quality a paint job is on a car and no matter how much wax you apply to the paint, the reflection of a car on that paint will not look like a mirror reflection. There will be times that the reflection will be amazing on great paint jobs, but it will never look like a mirror reflection. It's much different than a situation like Spider-Man where you look at the reflections in the building GLASS and expect it to look like a mirror reflection. car bodies are not made of glass.

Ray Tracing downgrade and trackside details missing were my biggest peeves, followed by weird performance and visual issues. I had issues with the Fog and some of the direction they went for the look of certain tracks didn't translate well in the final game.

I could care less about raytracing, usually there are so many restrictions that it's not even worth it. I'm disappointed that trackside detail basically completely got demolished, car models are outdated, the lighting looks much worse than GT7 which uses a more standard GI model, and all their promises about 3D foliage isn't true either. There are lots of 2D trees mixed in on many tracks... just like GT7, which also has a mix of 3D and 2D foliage lol. For 6 years of development, there's a lot of disappointment. It doesn't feel like a finished game. The career mode has no effort put into it, the progression system is grindy and the full auto assist makes it stupid to begin with. The car and environmental details also don't look that impressive, and we still don't have anything close to DriveClub in weather simulation or lighting, in this case.

I'm increasingly more curious about what Kunos are cooking up for "Assetto 2" next year, if not later. - They might be more about simulation than "graffix" (even though their two major installments look pretty great) and they might not be using ray-tracing, though it is possible considering how long they're taking. - That said, it is expected that it's a significant upgrade, as the first two games aren't that dissimilar. - I just hope they won't go the way of "Project Cars", or at least the third installment more specifically. Which if you don't know went more "arcade", almost NFS-like, probably because they were bought up by Codemasters, which (after "PC3") in itself was bought up by EA, which in turn is probably bad news for Codies-racers. - But Kunos is still this small Italian studio, probably still consisting of less than a hundred people, under the Italian publisher 505, and Kunos is so serious about their work that their studio is actually on the grounds of a circuit. - So I feel like they're still the racing-studio to look out for and kinda feel like "Assetto 2" might take everyone by surprise. - It's just the opposite of how a big brand like Xbox over-markets a brand like Forza, and then some smaller and quieter project comes along and just gets all the attention. - This keeps happening over and over and over, so that's my prediction.

@@adrianhosein7698 Such a weird argument to make, GT7s raytracing is better and so good that it isn't even in the actual game, and how do i benefit from that better RT during gameplay then?

so many technical issues with this game. Going to be patch after to patch to get anywhere close to what we were promised. There's been a huge drop off of people playing it after the big debut.

Could you use RT math in the background to place cube maps on the fly as accurate as possible and without those occlusion artifacts?

Sounds so simple it might just work.

These aren't a few missteps in a game's dev cycle. Microsoft and Turn 10 used an old tactic that goes as far back as PS1. They misrepresented what the game was going to support to build hype and generate pre orders. Similar to years passed, the final product doesn't deliver. But what's more worrying is that the sad state of Forza Motorsport is yet another example of poor production by too many Microsoft game studios that truly became clear going back as far as the launch of XBox 1. Forza Motorsport is a glitchy, buggy mess and there was no way a $500 console was going to support ray tracing fidelity that's equal or greater than what's possible on a $3000 gaming PC. To even expect that is insane. Microsoft and its partners simply aren't releasing polished games on average and too many people continue to make excuses for it. Forza is the latest example but Starfield isn't the game changer epic that Microsoft portrays it to be. Redfall is a disgrace. Halo Infinite is a broken shell of what it should it have been. Speaking of Halo, How do you screw THAT up?

Honestly ? On console, getting rid of RT Reflections (because their quality and usage probably doesn't justify the performance impact), keeping the RTAO (because of the sheer impact it has on car interiors), and using the added headroom to stuff more detail on track or have a higher dynamic resolution would be perfect.

Though I might regret trading my series x for PS5 around this time of years because of this game and starfield (not my kinda game) But nope. No regrets. It's MS/Xbox being exactly who many think they are.

1:43 No John, they did not. They did cut features, that would have cost 3% of the performance worth, that they should reduce the resolution for instead.

Not to mentioned they clearly lied about that “built from the ground up”

They could even drop the replays down to like 24fps and make them look like a movie

I have everything on max settings and the cars' "RT" reflections look like garbage in the garage. The garage... where you have nothing but a single car being showcased in detail. Games from over a decade ago, using fake reflections, look so much better it's not even close. Also, as with previous titles, wheel textures are still disappearing while driving. These need to be fixed in a patch ASAP.

Its funny i just got a new gaming rig, I've been diving into my back catalog playing allot of games with RT patches, just to feel like I'm getting my investment worth. Feel like I am waiting on blockbuster hits, only cyberpunk has really taken advantage of the hardware, was really looking forward to this one. Other than DLSS I feel like I'm waiting to use my new shinny gpu.

The problem IMO is MS wants parody across the X S and PC. Which in my opinion is a huge mistake. It seems to be a classic case of the lowest speced system (The S model) holding the game back because MS wants the game to play similar on every system. And as a PC player this sucks because we know Forza can look better but MS chose not to let the PC look substantially better.

*Parity

Im wondering if Microsoft is depending on newer technology (a little too much) to get the job done for this game, but isnt quite there yet like they might have hoped for. It sems they have done this for other games recently too. Im predicting they thought it would have looked how they originally shown it but FSR didnt hit the mark they had hoped for. I cant shake the feeling Microsoft is depending more and more on behind the scenes magic and when it comes to launch time, it still isnt ready to hit that mark. Its one thing to have FSR and DLSS to improve performance, its another hoping FSR is ready so the game looks how it was intended.

Couldn't care less about tay tracing but it's nice to see other car reflections in replays so it's a cool little bell for replays. I'm usually eyes forward when racing and not looking at track detail either. Marketing trailers always show target footage. Never believe them or take them as an indication of final quality- not these days. It's been this way for many years so this shouldn't even be a discussion at this point.

So how many millions of views would get a GT7 vs Forza video - especially comparing 120 fps mode of GT7 vs 30 fps graphical mode on X and S... too bad Forza doesn't have Nordschleife track but pick some other with most of demanding detail around the track (although not as long).

I guess we need to accept that Forza Motorsport is bad. I was so expecting it since I don't have a Playstation and needed a Gran Turismo counterpart on PC but despite looking similar to Horizon 5 game runs worse, controller is good to play it but it was terrible to play on my G29 wheel. They also overdid with understeer in driving. Game also feels so bland from menus to narration to track action. If they don't cut the support for next Horizon it might become something decent in few years but for now I am just glad that I didn't specifically pay for it and got it on gamepass.

I've had graphical glitches here and there on my 7950X3D / RTX 4090 system and the fps is unusually low for my specs at somewhere between 90 and 120fps on maxed out settings at 1440p. But the game doesn't have any game breaking bugs that I've discovered so far and the progression system is light years ahead of 7 (which absolutely sucked). And no microtransactions is a godsend IMO.

When it comes to RT in general, MS is going to have to make the change back to Nvidia. That is if they choose to go that route. AMD is an entire generation behind Nvidis on that front with their software tech that support being nearly two generations behind.

RX 6000 = RTX 2000 in RT and RX 7000 = RTX 3000 in RT. By the time the next-generation rolls around in 2028 (according to the recent Xbox document leaks), Nvidia will be on RTX 6000. If AMD keeps up this pace, that means we can expect the consoles to be on the level of an RTX 5000 series GPU when it comes to RT, probably an RTX 5070 Ti or something as that’s the tier usually targeted. Now tell me: does RTX 5070 Ti level of RT performance sound so bad in theory? For a console? No. And it’s why the leaked documents showed Microsoft intends to continue working with AMD. The fact that AMD has been matching Nvidia gen-for-gen is honestly impressive. Their 1st generation of RT is roughly equivalent to Nvidia’s 1st generation (or better in many cases), and same goes for their 2nd generation. Nvidia just did it first, but they aren’t moving at a faster pace technically speaking. Also, the console needs a CPU too. They are not doing Intel + Nvidia, no way. Intel is trash. They are going with an AMD SoC as always, maybe they get some 3D V-Cache in there too! But they should (and will) keep working with AMD for a tightly-optimized unit.

@Zoomborg

That primary reason is cost and flexibility. AMD makes very little margins from consoles and they go as far as they can to make them cheap while powerful enough. No matter what, if a console ends up costing 1000$ the market will disappear overnight because the primary selling point of consoles is accessibility and pricing. Otherwise everyone would run a PC. I doubt Nvidia would commit with such low margins. The other reason is AMD is pretty much the best when it comes semi-custom and full blown custom jobs with in-house SoCs. The Steam Deck and Ally are perfect examples. Nvidia and Intel never really accommodated custom solutions, the only exception being the switch. You also have to work with two manufacturers instead of one which makes things more complicated and expensive. Either way it's not gonna happen for obvious reasons.

​@@Wobbothe3rddoesn't matter. AMD has two, maybe three, generations before the consoles launch to perfect chiplet design of GPU. Once they have done that, they could easily put a comparatively large chiplet or "core" in the GPU specialized only on matrix calculations for raytracing and AI. It will be enough. Software side both Microsoft and Sony are doing RD on their own to reproduce things like DLSS with Sony at least having working prototype internally. They will not be depending on AMD to deliver on that if they don't do it on time on the software stack side. Nvidia is not some secret sorcerer, the algorithm they are using for AI and ray tracing/path tracing are not patented corporate secrets. Even the one's created by Nvidia are publisher on papers that are accessible to anyone that purchase the paper from their respective publication. From there any competent, AI programmer or graphic programmer can implement things like what allowed Cyberpunk path tracing to exist.

It is more than possible to create the same look as RTX with existing shaders. Until RTX provides the same frame rate without DLSS as it would with classic shaders, RTX is little more than a tech demo.

I have turned full RT and can’t see any difference.

Not gonna defend Turn 10 for the false imagery.

It also seems like this game was only made for 1440p and above, playing it on native 1080p just looks like a blurry mess, everything up close looks ok but objects a little further away looks smeared on the screen and its on ultra settings.
