I hope that in forza horizon 5 (if it will come out) they focus on sound and you could hear antilag and turbos like in real life cars.

The only similar thing between both is that I cant run the game on my laptop

Horizon 4 looks more natural in colors, lightning while Horizon 3 looks more contrasting, and clean, shadows where a Step back for sure.

The most crucial detail that FH4 failed at was definitely engine notes, as well as FH3 with certain cars, but not most of them like FH4

1:46 : That‘s just the Racing tire texture, not the car itself

7:23 that farmer wanted you live or dead.

If you play fh4 you can tell the game runs much more smoother, and Cars look a tiny bit better with shadows n some area imo

The only conclusion i have after this video is that both games look so fucking amazing that my eyes are always fascinated

Don't every forget horizon three has had a bunch of patches and optimaztions done to it to make it look better on PC. I'd imagine a year from now it'll be no contest when 4 gets a similar amount of love.

I almost died when he called the alloy wheels on that lambo "Wheel covers"

In Horizon 4, if you sit still in your car while it is snowing, it accumulates a good amount of noticeable snow on top.

1:50
FH3 uses Racing FE tiresFH4 uses stock tires.
That's why they look different.
The rims do look different though as proven by you.

I feel like we’ve reached a point where our current hardware does not allow game devs to drastically make a big upgrade to graphics and realisms. Or the devs are just lazy which wouldn’t surprise me.

[TheRealNightShot]

Forza Horizon 3 = Game Graphics.
Forza Horizon 4 = Real Life Like Graphics
Forza Horizon 4 + Ray Tracing = Nuts

4:00... he hits a rabbit running across the road in front of it.

I think every time you notice something worse in 4 than 3, like the grass textures, it was a conscious decision that was made by the developers to improve the game. Not only in its look but in how it plays. As you said, the game trying to render high-definition individual grass blades as you rip over them at 200 miles an hour is a horrible use of resources. The grass is just a blur for your eyes anyway. The road however, is something you will look at closely a million times as you start up or after crashing etc AND it doesnt move or sway so go ahead, HD the hell out of it! Minimal resources used for a big gain.

All of those decisions are bang for buck decisions.

The bottom line for me having played neither game before and just now ordering 4 is that the side by side isn't even close. To me Forza Horizon 4 is much more realistic and natural-looking. High definition cartoon is still just a high-definition cartoon.

3:13, I think the textures on the right are intentionally softer because it's supposed to be wet grass, it makes sense for the dry grass to be more visually distinct and sharper due to the sun

4:59 the water surface effect is called Screen-space reflection, a video setting for which was added in Horizon 4 (on PC). And it does look much better now.
