GTS trees, including their shaders and lighting are much more convincing in portraying a realistic dense forest than Driveclub's imo. The differences are especially noticeable during daytime scenes and in flyby cameras.
One argument at a time. You cited real life as looking just as lame as GTS, justifying GTS looking weak because actually 'it looks as good as real life.' If you are willing to accept that GTS doesn't look anything like as good as that RL video you posted, then we can entertain a discussion about how and why and how things can or can't be improved. If you can't see the difference then there's no discussion to be had.
This one's pretty good. Exception to the norm though from what little I've seen.GTS trees, including their shaders and lighting are much more convincing in portraying a realistic dense forest than Driveclub's imo. The differences are especially noticeable during daytime scenes and in flyby cameras.
This one's not good!
I understand what you are saying but quite often and since the PS1 days people were comparing GT's real life tracks or racing circuits with tracks in other racers which often involved forests and cityscapes to point out the game's "bland" track designs.This one's pretty good. Exception to the norm though from what little I've seen.

There are other far better lighting examples in GTS. This one does a good job on the trees.
We might be seeing the same varied quality we've seen in previous GTs, with a mix of current-level assets and a load of recycled previous assets?

But it doesn't! the details and lighting make it look real. It's not about aesthetics but realism. GT is trying to be photorealistic and failing often in the scenery.
Real life with infinite detail and perfect global illumination has a last-gen aesthetic??
The lighting and shading are terrible. The foliage is often utterly unrealistic and repetitive. It doesn't have to be rainbows and unicorns to look good as the aim is to look realistic so when you're playing the game, you feel more like your driving a real car and less like you're playing a video game.
That's not what I'm doing. I'm not comparing GTS tracks to other racers, but GTS tracks to GTS's cars. The cars are close to photoreal but the track, certainly the ones I was initially responding to. Looking at more images, it may be, as I said before, some of the material is last gen assets of a WIP title.
You're not following the argument. That video looks real (because of the infinite detail and perfect global illumination). GTS doesn't. You may feel they look similar because of the content all being dull and grey and flatly shaded, but there are huge, very obvious differences.
That "other track" is visually the best version of Willow Springs we ever got in any video game. Other games really don't come even close.
GT's metacritic scores say you couldn't be more wrong.
