A new Forza Motorsport comparison video was shared online today, putting footage from the reveal trailer and the PC retail version of the game at max settings side by side, highlighting the differences.
The video, which was put together by ElAnalistaDeBits, highlights how the game's visuals have been downgraded across the board, with everything from lighting to reflections, vegetation and texture quality taking a hit. Despite the downgrade, the PC version at maximum settings still looks good, but unfortunately, it's just not the game that was shown last year.
While Forza Motorsport still looks like a decent game, the game by Turn 10 Studios feels a little lacking in terms of detail. The damage system, for example, leaves something to be desired, as highlighted by Chris in his review-in-progress.
If I have any issue in terms of detail, there is very little to praise regarding the damage system - specifically the aesthetics of it. You could essentially fire yourself off of the Grand Canyon, and all it does look like is that you've been on a particularly rocky road, where the stones are loose and prone to chipping your paint job. While nothing major, it does indicate a lack of ambition to push that bit further; at least, that's how I perceived it.
Forza Motorsport is now available on PC, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S worldwide for owners of the Premium Edition, which includes early access. Everyone else will be able to play the game from October 10th.
