New Driveclub gameplay

the audio is a bit of a shame - when you switch to cockpit view it really muffles the engine sounds. I guess it is more realistic but I like the external sounds, but prefer the internal view..

That's sound deadening which nearly every production car has. The material used also reduces heat in the cockpit.

So people were right to be skeptical of the promo vids recently. Game looks bonkers but I never expected it to have flawless IQ like those vids showed.

I have always been skeptical towards this game in it´s entirety and I´ve have gotten a lot of shit for it.

I described the graphics as "inconstant" after playing it and got almost murdered.

Sometimes this game looks amazing and sometimes really average and I don´t know why.

Overall I think the image is too "flat" for my taste at least at daytime. It´s probably totally realistic - I just don´t think it´s super nice to look at.

Aliasing on textures (is that what you guys call shimmering?) also remains a problem.

I will be getting this game because all of my friends have it pre-ordered, but I´m really not sure what I will get.

Hope all the videos we have gotten from them over the past 2 years wont backfire once the game is out.

EDIT: SEE! This looks fucking amazing again!

 
Is it just me or do the graphics not look as good as I was expecting in some of those videos?

This track doesn't look very good imo. The car looks like it's floating, the road texture seems wrong and the rocks in the background look very bland. Now I know whey they keep showing the forest track and weather stuff.

Great looking game no doubt, but inconsistent on the visual side.

>_> the rocks look bland?

I don't really agree with any of that. I think the game looks fantastic, I just thought people were setting themselves up for dissappointment (see some reactions here) because they started to expect downsampled levels of IQ on a console game.

That's ridiculous.

Lighting makes all the difference , mid day for eg looks so bland compare to other times of the day .

I agree, I don't know if it is the B-roll effect ( what a terrible mistake by Sony to down-sample your game a couple of days before release) but the IQ just don't look good enough for me, it's not sharp enough, I'm pretty disappointed by the visuals, maybe my expectations were too high :/

There hasn't been remarks about the game looking inconsistent though. The issue was about it not looking as great as the b-roll footage.

Game seems to be consistent and great looking to a certain point.

It is a bunch of videos quickly grabbed (either by rapier or Blim at the last minute because Sony wanted to restrict footage to only two classes of cars). So you are getting quite a few time trial tracks (no other cars to look at so might be boring), and simple daytime levels (no dramatic sunsets etc)

The last Norway one looks interesting once the stream is up (can't torrent at work).

edit: That Canada/Venom video is pretty damn nice.

One last video added, Canada Sunset Audi R8, not a bad looking one too :)
We'll do a stream (in English) of the game tonight at 10PM.

Instead of wondering why the game sometimes appeals to you and sometimes doesn't, decide on what is your favourite time of day and then ask why.

Besides sharing a new video with you, I’d also like to take this time to thank you for your amazing support and patience this year.

The Evo team has done everything possible to make your wait for DRIVECLUB worth it, and it’s the support we get from players that really spurs us on. Keep being awesome and enjoy the game!

Don’t forget, DRIVECLUB is eligible for automatic pre-load so if you’ve pre-ordered the game through PlayStation Store, you’ll be able to jump right in and start racing as soon as DRIVECLUB launches at Midnight Pacific.

I cant remember who it was but specifically there were people who called that b-roll footage bs (someone with the BP logo as their avatar called it pretty much spot on) and how they turned out to be right.

I waited for the gamersyde videos just confirm (as it was suggested this game needs to be seen in motion) but its very very clear that footage had post processing effects applied to it, that fidelity was too good to be true. Look its not that big of a deal, alot of games do it so why would this be any different ultimately, and I dont think there needs to be hyperbole about it, it is what it is. Still a good looking game and I'm sure will be incredibly fun, looking forward to joining my own driveclub with friends.
 
People that don't seem to understand what can happen when you have real time lighting in a game. That and some areas in game will naturally have more detail than others.

Yep , things like a sunset or early morning lighting can make track \environment look better and it shows in this game.
The IQ is about what expect which is not bad.
