Rf2 Visuals not as bad as people make out?
http://steamcommunity.com/id/lokid78/screenshots/?appid=365960&sort=newestfirst&browsefilter=myfiles&view=imagewall#scrollTop=1

All in game grabs no Photoshop here! Yes its not pcars but it has a realistic feel to it.

RF IS GREAT SIM BUT GFX ARE BORDERLINE BETWEEN OK AND BAD.
sorry for the caps..
With ac it depends on pp filters ...there are some nice mods for that.
Also you dont have to use all the settings/effects.
GFX are surly the weak spot of RF and often imertion killer.

Car models and textures are really nice (partial thanks to the modding community), tracks look outdated to me.

Depends on the mod/track. Suzuka looks perfect.

Then show me a normal gameplay screenshot that looks hollywood or unrealistic.

At least those games have proper sunlight.

RF2 doesn't have "poor" graphics. But they are far from great. Bland textures are the biggest difference in comparison to the other major sim racing titles. Graphics aren't what really matters anyway.

Where's the hollywood? image: https://scontent.flis2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/14053880_1503201056372874_3148259867130418322_o.jpg

Only a fanboy gets butthurt by a comment that isn't even an insult. FFS. While I am not a fan of Pcars as a game, I split my time almost exactly 50/50 between Assetto and RF2. AC graphics (imo) are better than RF2, my point was that AC is more polished and looks like a showroom. It's a compliment not an insult.

No, your point was that AC has Hollywood graphics, thus saying it isn't real life like, but just like make up on someone's face...

"Rfactor 2 has realistic graphics, where as Pcars and Assetto have graphics that look like a Hollywood movie...sort of "better than real life" if that makes sense."

'Better than real life' and 'hollywood' has a negative connotation in this case, because you refer to other sim as realistic graphics while for other it isn't realistic anymore.

Just so you tell me, where are the hollywood graphics here in this AC gameplay screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/2UU2t3u.jpg
