DriveClub HQ 1080p gameplay videos- Alpha build (Gamersyde)

y'all should be ashamed
Finally, some extremely high bitrate footage of the Gamescom Alpha build! We saw these vids on Facebook in very poor compressed fashion, but thanks to Gamersyde and Rushy we can get them in high bitrate glory.

More info from Evolution dev Rushy:

Showing DRIVECLUB like it should look, in its native 1080p, is important to us at Evolution. We've wanted to show the footage since Gamescom because we're proud of how it's coming together, even at alpha.

We'll endeavour to release all future videos as well in such high quality, so hopefully you can appreciate the improvements we continue to make to the visuals.

Just watched the first uncompressed vid from Gamersyde.

The game looks phenomenal, the extremely dense environments, the detail of the car/cockpit and the sense of speed is all looking lovely. Hopefully they can fix up the AA and the shimmering before release.

I have not been following this game too much but I would love a racer on my PS4 to go along with Forza on my One...

Last I heard this was a free to play game? Or (and I hope) is there a retail disc full game that will be out?

The free PS+ version is kind of like DriveClub: Prologue. The game proper doesn't contain F2P hooks.

PS+ members get a free version with less cars and tracks but you can unlock platinum trophy with it. It will have a retail version with eerrything day one.

That looks... kind of awesome. Not sure why people have been so hard on this game the whole way through; we all know Evolution are one of the most consistent racing specialist studios in the business. Hopefully it will improve a bit too before release, as I guess Evolution have still got about 6 weeks of development before it needs to be sent off and discs pressed.

More importantly, I hope they'll take up the reigns from Sony Liverpool for Wipeout, and I'd like to see a MotorStorm RC sequel too.

As posted in the other thread. Looks great. Just need to clean up some of the jaggies (more visible in the cockpit view - which is what I always race in) and we'll have a gorgeous looking game. The environment is really unmatched in any racing game.

That said, tone down all the clutter on the UI! I want minimalist, all that stuff popping up just takes me out of the race.

Dude, so great to hear. Holy shit if the PS4 supports Fanatec I will be heaven!

Not too bad. I do like the density, and I'm ok with the 30fps with it being an arcadey racer.

Looking forward to seeing a lot of cars on track (hopefully it holds the 30fps) and the removal of the pop-in and Aliasing/shimmering.

Hopefully they smooth everything out before launch.


Edit** Watching the video again something seems....off at times. I think it may be the framerate though...or maybe it just needs a little motion blurr. I can't seem to pin it down....messes with my eyes.

Thanks Blim.

Vids look much better. It definitely needs some AA (crowd barriers, white lines on road, AMG logo, intake vents etc), and some anisotropic filtering (check out the beginning of the replay in the first video where you see a reverse angle of the car). Plus some motion blur to smooth things out.

So still need to iron out the rough spots, but fingers crossed (still)


edit: look at that tease from Rushy - we finally get the gamescom vids and then he goes and says 'oh it looks much better now' :)

Game looks great, very pleased to heard about the AA though as it was very distracting and it totally broke the immersion when you have that lighting and reflections of your own dash on the glass only to have jank lines in it.

Thank Rushy for making it possible, I'm just hosting the files.

Have you tried talking to Shahid to maybe get this sorted out for more games in future?

I think it looks absolutely fantastic. The density of detail in the scenery is staggering, you really never see that kind of effort put into background detail in racing games. The last time a racer impressed me with its backgrounds was literally 15 years ago: Ridge Racer Type 4. :p

Props to Rushy for making this happen, he pretty much only did it because we bitched and moaned. :p

You guys did amazing work even with the PS3 launch title Motorstorm. I consider Evolution's technical prowess right up there considering the work you did on PS3. I have full confidence in this looking really good and there's still optimization's to be done.

Definitely has jaggies, but man does it look great.

Well that really was impressive. Other than the aliasing which Rushy already commented on this is great. There's a ton of dense detail on the track and interior of the vehicles. And the draw distance is very good with minimal pop in.

Just think of the time Evolution has going from Alpha to gold.

Still in alpha? Not long till launch, was hoping for something a bit closer to a near final build by now.

That said, that is one damn pretty looking game.

Game looks phenomenal, few jaggies here and there. Rushy said that they already implemented new AA solution that improved IQ greatly :)

Yesss Can't wait to watch this when I finally get home.

If they release a night racing video that would be brilliant as well.
