I really hope they don't moneyhat alot of studios for exclusives, I don't mind stuff like 1 month waits but year delays suck. They have invested in some new studios the last couple of years so I hope they would rather continue investing internally instead of externally but in truth they have alot of money so they could do both.

Thoughts? (seeing as that thread is locked now)
Maybe Cyan can tell us where it came from as I did a quick search and couldn't find anything.
I won't discuss technical merits of it (as I don't know any), but it while it looks nice, it's not drive club nice and it's 'only' 1280 x 736
For reference:
Evolution Studios have always made great looking games, so maybe it's unfair to judge Lucid Games against them.

That's a joke, right? Isn't that just a real picture of a car?

I dunno what it is, but something is just off about the ferrari picture.

GT5 cars on photomode look way better.

Also the background seems very flat for some reason.

The scene looks like an overcast day, but the Ferrari looks like it's under a spotlight... too reflective.

I think it would be great if whatever ? Studios are going to do is married to what GT5 is doing, and that they would share whatever they can, especially where car models are one of the most human resource heavy components for either game. This is pretty much what Forza and Forza Horizon did after all, and it has helped the latter game a whole lot.
Am I understanding this right - you're comparing two different games from two different developers in unknown states of development via PR shots to see whether Orbis or Durango is better and how so?
If you just want to discuss the cars, you can open a game thread (Next Gen Forza! Whoop). Or if you want to talk about how next-gen car games will look, open a "Next Gen car games - what to expect) thread in the console forum. You know, that whole other side of the boards that has disappeared since this black hole started swallowing everything up? And if it's not a Durango game (no identifying marks, so could just be a render off CGI Talk for all I know), how's about waiting until we have some actual game visuals to talk about?

I guess what most has me confused about that Ferrari picture is
#1 -- Where was it found.
#2 -- What reason is there to immediately associate it with having anything at all to do with the next xbox, unless the picture was found on a first party developer's site? The twitter of an individual of some significance?
Maybe I just have a bad eye for these things, but I see nothing in that drive club picture that makes it look better. I mean, more advanced model, perhaps? Although, I figure to even be able to say that much, we might want to have a better look at that Ferrari, but I see better lighting on the Ferrari, the reflections are pretty outrageous (probably not legit), and even the road looks superior in the Ferrari shot.
I've always been a big supporter of not wanting games to look too close to real life. They should look, quite clearly, like the videogames that they are, just really impressive looking games, even if that means having to deal with some rather unrealistic graphical details. Nobody will accuse Uncharted 2 of looking hyper realistic, but it sure does look amazing, does it not?

Yea, I agree, we have to be careful not to get sucked into all the same things that people were sucked into at the start of the last gen, where things were being compared that made no sense, although I'm already guilty myself, because I've already said which I thought looked nicer...

Also the resolution is a bit suspect, who makes a console game at 1280x736

Well, the resolution doesn't cause me to be suspicious about it, as I would love nothing more than for all next gen games to target 720p or something close to it, allowing for developers to accomplish by not targeting 1080p, which (and I may be in small company) still don't think is the right resolution for the next gen consoles.
I feel it's being forced and it's going to hurt games, even if the consoles are pretty powerful, and I believe both are indeed pretty powerful.
Good! We get a nice break. We can relax a bit until the Xbox event. Besides, it's Mobile World congress. There are other gadgets that can be considered for a change.Because it's a slow day
