The background cars of Forza 4 remind me of what video games used to look like

If you've ever played any of the recent Forza games or even seen in-game screen shots, you know that the attention to detail is absolutely insane. In fact, its so good, they encourage you to take in game pictures by having a photograph mode to capture your own shots.

I was messing around with said photo mode, and I started exploring the track itself. I noticed that behind the fences, they have little parking lots with some cars parked in there. Obviously, you never really notice them, because they're just supposed background props, not part of the game. I took some pictures of some of them just for fun, and it reminds me of the prior age of video games where the detail achieved was no where close to what it is today.

A Chevrolet track safety truck

Some caravans and an ambulance

Firetruck and some SUVs

Some generic beige-mobiles. Looks like an older Focus and a Malibu on the ends

And my personal favorite, the Cruisin' Cafe at Laguna Seca!

Imagine if Forza and GTA V had a secret love child....

Wash your mouth out with soap!

Horizons was a flirtation, a dalliance. It should never be spoken of in the same breath as real Forza, or GTA, titles!

Ford E-series and an Explorer, you mean.

It's an older Chevy C/K 3500 with the first-gen Silverado front clip swapped on.
