Picked up ACC on sale for my series X. Also got a thrustmaster TMX wheel and stand for Christmas!

One last comparison between these two before their next gen counterparts drop. What's the general consensus who took the crown this gen?

One of the easiest racing games to run on PC and one of the best looking in the right conditions, and this video is 20fps.

AC looks great, but that Cardigans cover is really awful. lol

I'm often taken aback by what modders have achieved. But Christ, yes that song cover is dreadful.

Yo how's this game called Ride 4 on PS5 and XSX? Can anyone share them screenshots and videos from the next gen console versions of ride 4?
Every time someone posts the EU/US version of this intro instead of Moon over the Castle, God kills a kitten. Stop this massacre, please.

I haven't seen that intro with Moon over the castle. Only this slight remix on the PAL version

They did an INCREDIBLE job on PS2, it look alright even today.
It's a shame that most racing games today look half decent based on the hardware they run on.
Someone has posted Ride 4 earlier.. that's how Ride 1 should have looked like on PS4 many years ago.
All the rally games don't look good at all.
Forza and Assetto are alright.
GT as usual does something very good, something else very poorly.
Then we have Driveclub, the best looking racing games that came out in 2014.
And what about next-gen?
Racing games have barely been shown (usually they are among the first title to showcase the power of the new hardware) and they don't look very good.

Daaamn! I played Ride 3 recently after buying it on a sale and this looks like quite the improvement graphically! Looking sexy!

has been asked to post in 'Grounded' mode.
I think we'll have a good laugh at this video when GT7 releases it's going to look insane

Wrc10 looks very promising if it's not CG prerendered
I mean, the apt comparison will be FM8, since FH4 is an open world. If GT was open world I bet it wouldn't look as good as GTS either.

nah, nextgen still means nextgen because so far it has not began yet, either in crossgen software or in chip shortages...

Horizon 4 is an open world arcade sim.

Does next gen mean last gen now, or how does that work?

Looks great!
We really need something like the PGR3 garages in GT and Forza:
Having a selection of your favorite cars together in a cool place, makes a big difference.

Screw next gen, let's go back and perfect the PS2 era instead.

The lighting system by PD it's mindblowing, the most natural among not only racing games but in general

Shame this thread has taken a snooze.
Are you saying it looks better than ray traced games?
GT and basically any other game are still looking obviously rendered. You can have moments where you think "Damn, that looks good" but never "Damn, that almost looks real". For racing games, I'd say modded Assetto Corsa (if you're very selective with your content) is probably the first one that's starting to break that rendered, CGI or uncanny valley look and almost beginning to look like a real life TV broadcast. We've still got a long way to go until we'll be fooled by rendered gameplay, a few more years yet.
Due to a bug I'm stuck on an older mod patch which borks the motion blur when taking a screenshot, but I've still been snapshotting away in AC recently, obsessing over my love of 90's BTCC:

Yes because AC isn't build with ray traced lighting, don't get me wrong it looks good but its still not perfect and isn't the same as normal ray traced lighting that you would get if the lighting was build around ray tracing. Also PD ray traced the lighting in GTS to see how it would look and tried to replicate the same lighting with standard lighting model wich they got damn close. Plus the PBR and shaders in GTS are levels above AC shader and PBR that helps also to get that real life look. I mean look at those, they look much more like real life than your picture's (No scapes, using photomode to show the lighting, shaders,... obv.) If there is 1 thing you can't deny than thats GTS lighting, they are really 1 of the best if not the best.Shame this thread has taken a snooze.

Maybe it's a matter of taste, but I don't agree. I'm not specifically on about the lighting, but how the image comes together as a whole - taking into account the colours, saturation, contrasts, etc. Your GT photos still give me that gamey vibe.
Like I said though, give it a few more years of hardware and software trickery and I reckon we will just about be there.

my man you just disproved yourself, look at his AC image it has a piss filter on it compared to your image of a real race and hardly any detail. And the tod in my Laferrari shot is completely different than the image you posted. And the race images are in overcast weather with no shadows. Its much easier to get that real look in a overcast setting than in a sunny day. And even then GTS looks closer to the real thing, here literally the same scene and lighting conditionMy Brother, this is a real race:

And look even Forza motosport 5 (launch game on a 1.3tf console) looks real in overcast weather

Still can't get over how mods on an old indie game can go toe-to-toe with modern AAA games.
