It was run as an Ident for Channel 4 here in the UK.
Some more in a similar style here:

I also noticed this in the end of gif :
They did this as a promo for a station called channel 4
Yeah, that was part of an advertisement for PS4 games on Channel 4 in the UK. Number 4's made out of various floating objects is part of the channel's identity.I also noticed this in the end of gif :

Here is what I mean when I say about the time counter:
Isnt it a bit too much? It feels to me like theyre restricting way too much of your freedom on the road.
I have to agree with you here. Perhaps they can tone that down in a firmware and give it a second or two before we see that 3 second timer.

I agree. Seems sort of overdoing it.

It definitely needs to be toned down. It should gently fade in after 2 seconds, not immediately pop-up.

Why do they even have a countdown timer? It's not like you can go off the track... unless some other tracks open up a bit more, that would make sense. But yeah, I would guess they're going to tone that down.
For the new page
Official footage coming sooner than we think
Isn't it Sunday already in NZ?

I think that maybe the countdown is to both prevent you going off-road and also against the race (the other way around, I dont know the english term for it). So if you go off, the count down starts, and if you turn your car the other way, it counts too. But its being overdone indeed... even on more closed curves it pops up on the screen, and that sounds almost claustrofobic. So I hope they change it.

The amount of detail they've added to the mountain is staggering.

I don't see it that way. This is a driving game supposed to be on track. It is not supposed for you to take shortcuts wen driving agains the others.. The counter is a warning before you get some penalties.. However they can tone that down or give us the possibility to disable it.

In other words: Get gud.
Yeah, I'd love them to tackle city areas in DLC or some kind of sequel.Driveclub Tokyo DLC confirmed.

Um... that word doesn't mean what you think it means.

Yup, I hate it already :/
Someone a page or so back said you could disable the on-scree countdown, and just have audio beeps
That takes the edge off a bit then, but whole premise is just wrong IMO.

Yeah and when the adverts were being shown people were stating they were pre-rendered and the game wouldn't be anywhere near as good. Evo really are gods and have used the delay well.
Cannot wait for this to release, already pre-ordered the PS+ upgrade so should be ready for me when I get home from work that day!

It's pure gameplay. There is no something like processed replays in the game.
Surface of the background mountains looks more detailed in the current version, though at second glance it's odd in a geological sense.
I agree. If you're off the track you aren't on the best line so will be slower anyway. Reset should be for if you're buried in a barrier or pointing the wrong way

Still the best one tho

Bumper car physics against the air on one side and blades of grass... back and forth... 3-2-1 *beep* *beep* *beep*
It wasnt there even one or two months back. Suddenly they come up with random idea like this. Hopefully they didnt tune the difficulty with timer in mind... In a day and age where reviewers complain about clicking to collect bullets in Wolfenstein, IGN AU is going to bitch about this the whole review.
The delay was absolutely worth it based on that comparison shot. Very glad this didn't get rushed to market. Evolution deserves to catch a break after all they went through with Apocalypse.

It helps, but its still counting on the background. At those circunstances, it should not even have started.

What purpose does the timer actually serve? Why is it so important that I get back onto the track? I don't like it when devs make decisions for me. I mean, I'm not planning to spend much time away from the track...but If I want to drive on the dirt, I should be allowed to to my hearts content! Lol.
Compare your comments from the Driveclub thread:
To the Forza Horizon 2 thread:
You're not a cool dude. Like, at all. Cool dudes would at least be informed enough to know that Driveclub has dynamic lighting and that the gray skies will only be there for as long as that weather system persists. I know, the absence of baked lighting scares you, right?

I think the countdown timer makes sense... they are punishing players who try to get ahead by going offroad. Couple that with collision penalties and stuff like that, and they seem to be enforcing a kind of racing where you aren't knocking people off course like Burnout.
However, the downside is, sometimes you do get off road and it may be because you spin out or whatever else... you should have to get out of that situation yourself, but if you take just 3 seconds, the game just resets you on the track. Seems like this is done to promote the accessibility of the game and the idea that "you don't have to be first to have fun in Driveclub"
The sensible thing is to give us an option, of course.
I actually was really hoping that they'd have a race type where you are ranked by points, and not just simply coming in first. So that way, if you are an aggressive racer who knocks players off, collides with things, or goes off track, you get points deducted that affect your final standing.
By the way, speaking of modes, going off of the Gamekult forum...there are only three modes in single player? Aren't there any GP's/tournaments to set up in the game?

It's pretty sad when you see blatant fanboyism(?) like this. People who go into threads of games they have no intention of playing, to whine about grey skies and grey roads looking the same (SERIOUSLY!?), just to make themselves feel better about their purchase is FUCKING SAD.
I bet Kev doesn't even really think TLG is dead.
It is though ;(
I honestly think the rapid turnaround in sales dominance has caused MS fans to lose their shit more than they would if the "war" were a little closer than it is now. This will happen with every exclusive.

It has consistently been happening with every exclusive. Even fucking Bloodborne has been handwaved as "not going to set the world on fire" on the RPG scale because it won't sell as much as Skyrim.
Yes, people comparing Bloodborne to Skyrim.
I dread to think what will happen when

I liked this one the best.
Lots of hilarious stuff in that one, but the best has to be complaining about the multiple observatories in the Chile track.
You know, the track that's based off of the La Silla Observatory in Chile that has multiple observatories.
Keep fightin' the good fight, cool_dude.

Welp busted and not cool at all.
