How many times do you need to state that its photomode thought? Most of the marveling in the PGR4 thread is about geometry and other stuff that is there regardless of Photomodes.
I got flamed + i got negative rep, for saying that aside from the obvious bullshot AA the game looks interesting.(refering to a 16x AA 3200p PR shot from R&C).
Actually, in the PGR4 thread, suddenly Arwin "forgot" that GT:HD has stuff like motion blur in the replay mode. (who according to himself is the biggest GT fanboy there is, this is also coincidentially the same person that tried to argue that Forza 2 handling feels like driving on Ice). Also, DJ12 "forgot" this.
Instead we were told a fictional theory from Arwin about why the GTHD replay is 30fps and not 60fps. Its obviously 30fps because they are doing things that are costing way much resources, in this case probably involving post processing and motion blur.
There is nothing wrong with liking what you see. I LOVE how GT5 is coming along, forget KZ2, CoD4 and [insert hyped up graphics here] GT5 is in my book the best looking game ever. It does look amazing, but that shouldn't make it okay to flame everybody saying something is photomode\bullshot\etc when it is.
Beyond 3d moderators operates with purging of threads, meaning most of the flaming\trolling is deleted. If i could show you my reputation sheet, (shame we dont have rep system anymore) you would see that 5 out of a total of 7 negative reps came from pointing out obvious "this is not realtime" things in varius games (1 x360 game 2 PS3 games).
My impression is that GT is being held in high regards by most people.
Yes, both plattforms get "attacked" the difference however is that even rational posters go all fanboy on you when you point out AA is at bullshot level in a PS3 game.
The biggest difference is however how its generally accepted to say that every game in the world that looks a tad worse on the PS3 than on the X360 is because of not enough development time for the PS3. And how Oblivion is better on the PS3 because of the cell (and not because they had 1 year with a finished build to tweak, wheras the X360 version had 9months total with a devkit including a Xenos and Xenon.).
Im a realist. I have no problem saying that the PS3 is the most powerful system overall. I have no problem saying that GT5 to me, is the most amazing game going by looks. I do however find it amusing that because the PS3 has a powerful CPU, the X360 in unable to run anything better (Even tho Xenos do offer quite a few things that the PS3 will struggle with).
Seriously, i got flamed to hell + pms by some random petrolheads because i said GT4 has to much grip. And i offfered real life examples (AND Arwin, the biggest GT fanboy in the world, going by his own words, agreed with me).
Im sure it happends on other platforms aswell, however i have never experienced it, and i have critizied plenty games on both sides for the same things. This is ofcourse my personal offtopic ranting, based on my personal experience. So you may of course be right that its equal the same way around
In the PGR threads it was pointed out and nobody really tried to refute it. (Hell, for PGR3 Bizarre even said that this and that is a pre-render).
With forza 2 there is a slight difference however, because the game was promised to be 4x AA by Turn10. Every screenshot shown was 4x AA, and still officially, according to turn10, forza2 has 4x aa depending on load (which is total bullcrap, unless they count photomode).

I havnt played GT that much and I always thought it only had real life tracks as I always saw circuits and never the nfs like stuff. But GT5 will have the more real stuff? stuff like racing around on small italian mountain roads with walls and houses next to the road? Because that would be so great especially with the awsome gfx that would be alot cooler than just a normal gray racetrack.
