None of that stuff looks bad while you are racing, but anyway most who have mentioned GT5 in this thread were talking specifically about the lighting.

What about the half finished cars? They sure look swell.

What PC racing games have better lighting than GT5? Genuine question as I got a PC late last year and could do with some more games for it.

And also, lets not forget the fact that the shots from those games are completely misleading. The game doesnt look like that in actual gamepaly.
Take any random screenshot and downsample it ant it looks way better cause it irons out alot of flaws from the full resolution. Example

The difference being that all that in GTA 4 w/ ice, the TOD, all the lighting and reflections, are in real time, in-game, at the resolution you choose. Sure you can downsample and try and make it look a bit better, and its cool for screenshots, but the consoles cant do it in anything but bullshots like the GT5 ones. So you can say its the industry leader all you like but unless its doing it in game, in actual live gameplay, in the same resolution used for photo mode, then all it is is smoke and mirrors.

My last PC gaming purchase was Half-Life 2 on a machine that could handle it on max settings. Sound was all over the place, had to piss about for ages with setting and other gubbins. Never went back to PC gaming since.

What are the physics like in GT5? Do the cars still casually bounce off of each other, or does it have proper crashes?

Dunno, we are too busy looking at the lighting.

I tried to do a race but got lost on the menus and gave up after 12 hours.

It's bumper cars all the way - only a disappointing "thud" noise to indicate any kind of collision.

Yeah but my 14 year old nephew says that Xbox has the best GRAPHIX!

Tell him he needs new glasses and that his mum does porn.

These clearly make every game look like it has a million more graphics, highlighting all the hardcores that the Xbox has that the PC doesn't. Where's that amazing comparison pic/troll post when you need it?

Is that forum for real? Everybody there is clinically retarded, I swear. Posting Deus Ex pics from 2000 vs console games of 2012. WTF?

On another note, I've been hearing more and more rumors that the next gen of Consoles won't actually be very advanced as most developers are shifting to smart devices to for cheaper games.
