About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

And trust me, whenever people look at these things, they say "nah, that's not that much better." Truth is, if you looked at them side by side, you'd probably be amazed. Especially because of the resolution and cleaner lines and increases to detail in the environment.
Also, Forza Horizon even in photo mode did not look nearly photorealistic. The textures were poor, the models were pretty good, and the environments were a bit lacking. It was excellent for the hardware it was using, but there's no way that it stands up to this. Even with all of the AA in the world.

That's what the last Need For Speed game looked like, that's what a 360/PS3 game looks like. Side by side, there's no fuckin' competition. This one beats out Most Wanted by a large margin. And Most Wanted was already a very nice looking game despite it's low resolution and detail. This is the first NFS game on the new generation of hardware. This is just the start. Remember real early 360 games? Kameo, perfect dark, etc? Now look at games like Gears of War 3. If this is where this generation is starting, it's going to be interesting to see where it goes.
Yeah, these games will be running in true native 1080p, and thats great. But look at this screenshot:

and tell me that if it was rendered in 1080p 5 years ago when it came out, that its leaps and bounds behind what NFS is showing for next gen.
PGR3 didnt have much worse graphics than PGR4, and it was a launch title....for 360.
All im saying is that its unimpressive. If you're honestly impressed by that, well...whatever floats your boat i guess. I just would have thought they would at least make curved surfaces actually curved, and not octagonal. What makes even less sense to me, is that if they are going to cut down on poly-counts, they can upp the tesselation, or other smoothing effects to make up for the lack there-of, like everyone else does.
I know it seems retardedly anal, but really, what do they expect us to see when they show screens with angles like that? Its not the fact that its not rounded, or smooth, its the fact that it could easily be, and its not. All these developers have been saying is that the ceiling has been lifted so high, that they could do anything they wanted and not even be close to hitting that ceiling with these consoles. If that were the case, we would be seeing flawless screens, and rendering that is near photo-realism...like Forza 5. That video they showed (which they have in 1080p on here) is INSANELY impressive to me, and crushes this display of tech EA brought to the table.
