Anyone else think T10 went too far

[richard1973]

window tint jut do the side windows, just like in real life, damn laws

also i’ve been totally blinded by the sun in real life, and i’m in the north of England.

[HippyGems]

No, the game looks fine to me

[Ixoye56]

I agree it’s overdone, especially in cockpit view

[PTG_Claret]

I’m used to it. But don’t get me started on the obsession with helichoppers…

[Straightlaced84]

Looks great to me. I like the visual effects.

How many of you keep the inside of your windscreen spotless enough to where it could actually show a reflection?

My mom has a Cadillac CTS-V and that thing is spotless inside, I can clearly see my hands, the dash, and steering wheel reflecting in the windscreen when conditions are right. (I love driving my moms car.)

Even in polarized Ray Bans, driving directly into the sun will still produce a lot of glare.

Learn the braking zones using landmarks on the track and you won’t have any problems.

The key here is when the conditions are right and also, you have to be actually looking for them and focused on the window. I agree, certain reflections are there, however, our eyes look past them and focus on the road, thereby making them a non-issue when driving a car, not something that completely blocks your vision out the window like some of the ones in game are.

Also, it depends on the car. My Audi does not show my hands in the window when sitting in a normal position. I have to bend forward and look for them and then they show at the very top of the window, not in line with the road out front. In the game, they always are directly in the line of view, which I do not think is accurate as that would mean that hands and wheel would be in the same position in relation to the window on every car…not accurate.

Again, just a bit too far imo and too often. I like the game and idea, just too much and hopefully they can read these comments and tone it down a bit in the future.

The glare is over done, which is a shame because it spoils some tracks. The reflections are great though!

[Snowowl]

We’ve got one stretch of road more than a mile long which is directly into the sun two periods of the year, Spring and Fall, and using Polarized sun glass, flipping down the sunscreen doesn’t help.

But what really ticks me off is in Horizon during night scenes where can’t use my 200,000-candlepower Halogen driving lights. I imagine Playground Games disabled that because people playing with controllers on battery would wear them down too quickly. LOL!

I don’t think they went realistic enough. Where are the fatal more realistic crashes? Where is the tire wear? Where is the gas running out? When is the AI going to not follow a certain path and slam into anyone in their way? When are the gauges in the car actually going to work right for every car, not just the ones they care about? Where are the longer races, 2-4 laps per race, please I can go play any racing game to get that, ones that look better and have day/night and weather. Forza Motorsports is a SIM, make it that way.

I have owned every version of Forza since the original Xbox, I even bought Forza Horizon. 5 in my opinion is the worst, mainly cause AI is still bad, less cars, less tracks, no online store for users (like in previous versions). I am now in the I’ll wait a few months or year before I buy any new Forza game, instead of the I want it right away camp.

Forza Motorsports needs to be more realistic and more of a SIM like it is supposed to be, Forza Horizon and all the other racing games can do all that other stuff.

Where are the fatal more realistic crashes? Ask the vehicle manufacturers what they think about that. You should have, by now, seen a trend across all driving games which use real world vehicle brands and models.

Where is the tire wear? It exists. Do you have simulation damage on?

Where is the gas running out? It exists, too. As a matter of fact, I have a badge specifically for running the tank dry. Again, this falls under the simulated damage option.

When is the AI going to not follow a certain path? They don’t. They don’t at all.

Where are the longer races? In free play mode where can adjust the race parameters as desired and be rewarded with credits and XP.

Anything else you need to be made aware of for the game that you own?

I, for one, expect this lens flare “issue” to be somewhat resolved when day/night transitions eventually make their way to Forza and the time of day can be adjusted for those of you who despise the solar effects.

[ReferredFiber79]

My reaction when I first saw the glare on the windshield was “oh neat”. Then when I started to drive that car I could not stop looking at it wondering who spilled Armor All on the dash.

[CanuckRS]

I get blinded almost the exact same way every morning with my 5:45 commute. Drive directly towards the rising sun.

Personally I really like what Turn 10 has done. Visually it catches people watching you play off guard and it really adds another layer of difficulty to the game. I want my Forza to feel “alive” like a real thing, not just some boring static environment.

[sadioki]

I think that the lighting is normal and not over done, usually the countries or states located in the North, have different lighting than the ones located in the south, I did have rides in my native country Morocco at North Africa, the driver and front seat passenger get blinded by the light in morning and midday, that can lead to accident , I like the lighting effects so much in FM5 , much better and realistic than FM4, no complaints from me, the only thing I noticed is that some of these lighting effects are perceived as a camera lenses, not as the human eye can see naturally.

[Ruskadoonist]

ooh added to forza 6 sun strips,its a lil bit bright though sometimes you cant see anything at all just maybe an inch of tarmac if your lucky,bit that does make it challenging when in career mode.

[Aeriax]

If you install a roll cage on a lot of the cars it sort of acts like a sun visor in the cockpit mode…

[T_REX_5753]

Hell,at my age i’m glad i can still see the glare!

@vwpilot70

With sun glare and reflections?

Its like T10 got a new toy for Christmas and was able to do this and then took it as far as they could and just overdid it. I mean I can appreciate what they tried to do, I just feel they did too much and took it beyond realistic in trying to make it as realistic as they could.

I’ve been driving for many years, in many kinds of cars, and all kind of weather and I’ve NEVER been blinded by the sun like it happens in this game. In addition, you cant replicate things like being able to wear sunglasses, or put a hand up to block the sun, etc.

Also, even worse, I think they took it too far with the window reflections. Again, I realize they are there in real life, but they are pretty much a non issue in real life. I dont think anyone here has ever really sat back in their car and was blinded by the window reflections from their defroster vents or hands. Again, what cant be replicated from real life is the fact that we can look past and through reflections because we’re focused on what is down the road, not on the window. Our eyes can blur out and look through those things close and look down where they need to. In the game, the window is just as in focus as 100 yards down the road, which makes them more obvious than in real life. I’ve been driving the new Audi and the fluid reservoirs in the window virtually block out the track and cars in front. This doesnt happen in real life and I can guarantee that if they were that bothersome on the real car, Audi would have done something about it and covered them or repositioned them.

Again, I can respect their effort, but it just seems so overdone and doesnt actually replicate what happens in real life and takes it to the cartoon level of putting them there just because they learned how to and can, rather than what is really realistic.

Anyone else feel this way or am I totally alone on this? It wont change how much I play or sour me on future games, but do think it could be a lot better if these were just toned down a bit.

I feel you on the Audi, I think the reservoirs are a little much, but for sun glare, I race in Arizona and I have ran into that problem quite a few times where it is too much, I avoid it by using sunglasses under the helmet and running a window banner to give more clearance to block out the sun, an option I wish we could do for Forza with decals as window banners are used around many racing series.
