Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown pales in comparison to Forza Horizon 5. Physics and graphics comparison

Gamers are publishing comparisons between Forza Horizon 5 and the upcoming Test Drive Unlimited. This comes as no surprise, since the gameplay formula of the new title is similar to the Xbox exclusive.

Gameinvader editors have prepared a comparison between the beta version of Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown and Forza Horizon 5. The video primarily focuses on the physics and graphical detail of the two racing games.

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown falls short of Forza Horizon 5 across a number of parameters. The setting in the upcoming game is disappointing in terms of water implementation and the dust effects kicked up from under car wheels. You can also forget about visible car damage in Test Drive, which is present in Forza in a limited form.

The physics of driving over various objects in Test Drive leave much to be desired. While, for example, vegetation flattens and deforms in the Xbox exclusive, bushes in Test Drive simply vanish (as can be seen at 5:30 in the video).

It is worth noting the strong sound effects in Test Drive Unlimited. The car engine sounds more authentic than in Forza Horizon 5. However, one should keep in mind the massive car roster in Forza Horizon 5.

The following video compares The Crew Motorfest with Test Drive Unlimited.
