edit: blah, wrong game. Stop yelling at me!

Did performance ever get improved? I recall it not running great at launch, with rain especially just fucking tanking performance. If not, who the fuck can run this with improved shit like that?

The game is locked at 30fps no matter what's going on.

Who told you that? it held 30fps at all times even with the weather added.

Dynamic weather wasn't at launch... you must be confusing this game with another. Driveclub has been pretty much solid 30 since Day 1. Even after adding Dynamic Weather it still kept to 30FPS target.

Have you played driveclub? Always 30 fps, no drops, it's great.

From my experience the performance was always rock solid! Driveclub had massive problems at launch with online though.

 

[OdysseusVA]

What about better AA and AF?

wut? Go check DF, rock solid 30 fps with 0 drops no matter what happens on the screen (rain, number of cars, etc...)

You're thinking of Project Cars i believe, which had the issue with performance during rain.

Regarding the GIF/Graphics upgrades, who the hell is going to notice that when driving at 200kph?

There is a Gaf member that rented Batman: Arkham Knight you might like.

I never could understand why they put so much effort into graphical gimmicks while DC is a blurry mess ingame and runs only with 30 frames. Looking great on screens, but only average when running.

That's not the experience I had with it lol

Blurry mess? I haven't played a ton of DC but when I did play didn't have this problem.

 

[Lion Heart]

The game that keeps on giving. When does it release?

 

[spectator]

If not, who the fuck can run this with improved shit like that?

Being that it's a PS4 exclusive... anyone with a PS4.

It's crystal clear and running at a locked framerate. Screens don't do it justice at all, it's glorious in motion.

I disagree. I mean, I can understand the 30 fps thing, but looking average while running? no way, it looks friggin stunning. It's still the best looking next gen game on consoles IMO.

Check your display settings? The game is anything but blurry

[Magic Mushroom]

Is Driveclub the most improved game since launch ever?

 

[valkillmore]

Is Driveclub the most imrpoved game since launch ever?

Could very well be. I mean it's been out for over a year and we're still getting improvements to handling, graphics, etc. What other game qualifies based on that criteria?

 

[th4tguy]

I think you are thinking of project cars. This is Drive Club.

 

[Oppo]

Hero kicked this thread off course like it was a Big Dog. same result too.

is this a free update or is it with the bikes?

 

[bananafactory]

The core game hasn't really changed, but if we are talking content and options then yes I'd say it's up there

 

[dead monkey uk]

Plus VR support is coming in 2016.

AFAIK this isn't confirmed it was only a prototype, but I can't see them not moving forward with it

It may have to fight Destiny for that title.

Self-shadowing materials

"Self shadowing parallax occlusion mapping" or SSPOM. This is something Dictator93 should be interested in.

Edit - beaten

Agreed. Gimmicks and a total blurry mess.

Absolutely average. I mean, I can think of... you know... zero other racing games that look as good as this average looking game.

Get a new TV or get your eyes checked.

 

[Danneee]

With the speed of the game I don't understand why they add stuff that you won't really notice while driving. I'd rather see them removing some stuff to get 60fps.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Splatoon has it beat imo

Looks very nice. Hope they improve the AA a bit more too.

Probably going to get an overhaul. As for people that claim average graphics really needs a new tv. A friend of mine has a hd tv but it's always out of focus and heavily saturated.

 

[lukeskymac]

I'd rather they make what's already there more consistent, along with better AA.

Of course, if they can do all of that, I won't complain

PS4 exclusivity should do it

 

[Beast780]

Wow, the game already looks great but is going to look better? I love how Sony is supporting this game, so glad I bought the season pass.

 

[Footos22]

No point in that at all. Wouldn't be a Considerable improvement at 60fps to even bother with at this point in its life. controller latency is already really low as it is and the gane is gorgeous.I love 60fps but honestly it isn't gonna make the game any better then it already is. If you want 60fps with reduced graphical quality The vr version is for you.

 

[DedValve]

This doesn't even make any sense.
