Gameplay is good but Graphics?

Gameplay in Horizon 2 is great but the Graphics seem kind of dull on 1080p Forza5 is much more crisp anyone else see it that way well ive switched to 4k witch it dosent support and 1080i is believe it or not getting me a better picture. Just got done playing Forza5 their is a hudge difference in the grass and the cars Forza5 is much more crisp and the grass is much more real.

Nope. I think Horizon 2 is every bit as impressive as Forza 5 in daylight, and amazing at night.

We must not be looking at the same game?

If anything FH2 looks a bit better, I have noticed less jagged things compared to FM5. In FM5 certain interiors and lines had more of a noticeable jaggedness to them. Everything else graphics related looks just as good as FM5, if not better. Also FH2 at night is just awesome.

There is definitely a difference. FM5 is much more real looking compared to Horizons more “cartoony” look. Far less detail, but its made that way. It was the same difference between FM4 and Horizon 1.

These are my thoughts as well and actually I was expecting a bit more of a graphic tone down than what we got. It still looks mighty impressive though I will say one thing that bugs the snot out of me is the detail of our Avatar is extremely terribly quality compared to the rest of the world. It’s not noticeable in gameplay but when you take a screenshot at an angle that exposes the driver it’s very distracting.

I will say I do wish we had a larger FOV for the incar cam. FM5 was perfect. Regressing to FM4/FH1 was a bad choice though possibly a graphic necessity.

Hey Stack, those photos are fantastic. Are they your own?

If so how do you get them from console to forum?

Go to the community tab at the top of the page and select the gallery. Load your images and save them to your computer. Then upload them to a hosting site like Flickr.

You have to share the photo in game before finding it in the gallery. But sharing the photo is still sometimes problematic since the tags doesnt show up upon selection

I agree 30 frames per second is part of the reason why. I bet the people who think the graffics are better also think the cars handle just like forza 5 !

Meh frames per second don’t mean much at all.

Graphics in this game really are awesome. I am certain if people were never told it was 30 frames per second, they wouldn’t even care

I was actually quite surprised how good the graphics are. I was expecting worse because of the fact that it’s an open world game.

Great! Thanks lads!

Wait a minute, now i’d have to embed the photos to the forums right?

Are you using 1080p?

Agreed Jacks.

I hope PGG/T10 can add a rudimentary create-an-avatar in a future patch/update

That’d be nice; I certainly don’t want to play as Generic White Male Protagonist #684739375, but that’s too big of a feature to add in a patch or update, I think. They’d be adding tons of CG models and textures to the game, in addition they’d have to do art for all of that too- something you normally don’t have to do when you just scan a car.

Horizon 3 maybe.

I have faith based on the impressive changes EA did with their UFC updates.

Johnny Generic college frat boy 5oclock shadow can be an eyesore compared to the rest of this game

Since I can’t find the official screenshots thread i’ll just leave these here.

All aboard AirItalia !!!

I don’t think it would be too big to add an option to allow use to use either the Horizon avatar or the avatar from previous Forza Motorsport games. I’d rather be in full race suit and helmet than a Xbox 360 quality model/textured human.

FM5 is circuit based and it’s easier for T10 to focus on the cars in that game. Same with Fm4/FH1, although it’s really hard to notice much difference since it looks awesome :slight_smile:
