I just noticed there's no HUD in this teaser. Replay mode?

Take the time to do this right Evolution. I'll be waiting over there, salivating.

They are working on a new hud.
Theyve said that you could turn off all HUD elements during gameplay. But maybe it is a replay. we dont know for sure.

Gamescom alpha build footage:

Not a great comparison, but the motion blur and lighting improvements make the biggest differences. And the AA obviously got better as well.

Shame on us... faking excitement over a crappy looking GIF that shows no improvements whatsoever... *tsk* *tsk*
I'd pay good money to have a motion blur on/off switch in racing games. Not the announcement I was hoping them to make, I've been hoping Sony asked them to delay and make 60fps happen, otherwise this game is a non event IMO. Getting quite screwed on the racing front with NFS being 30 too, it's just not good enough for racing games.

We might get it in January or March. Well Early 14' is January, but March would be even better as people will have money.
Definitely can't have it launch in February(Duh).

I also seem to remember one of Evolution devs in an interview saying that though ultimately the PS4 is easier to develop for, going from the PS3's Cell PowerPC architecture to X86 of the PS4 was somewhat challenging for the studio development process/tools. Maybe this delay and such a noticeable end-dev cycle jump in quality is linked to that. They are just more comfortable now with the new processes.

It was at the time, it has come an especially long way since then. If anything the delay reaffirmed my fears back then, they said it was only 35% complete, well looks like they needed more time after all. Now it's probably the best... granted they are getting extra time now.

Motion blur and Anti aliasing are massive improvements.

I thought we could fool everyone a little bit longer.... oh well
even though it is heavily compressed one can still see the major improvements that Evo has done.... reaching debut footage quality

OH SHIT!!! Now that "Perfect Day" Drive Club sequence makes sense. With this new build and the opposing driver barrelling into the featured car, what if you can ram your opponent into a guard rail, causing damage just like in the commercial, hell maybe even flipping him. What if it is a take on NASCAR where you are on a team and you run interference for the front runner who may be on your team.

Compare this with the first in game footage that we got and it's mind-blowing how far they have come:

I will wait till gt7 I guess. Forza can hold me over.
Do you even play games? Jesus chirst you can turn the HUD off. How cynical do you have to be to come to the type of conclusion you just did?
It's better than real life.

Whole video in gif:
its supposed to look even better than this? h-how?
also, imo looks like we don't need them to try for 60fps, it looks brilliantly smooth.

Glad it was delayed of these type of improvements are still getting made this close to launch.

Hope they give more info on the career and stuff.
Also anyone think its weird that they built up the first person racing in the reveal event but it has a pretty standard first person view. Was expecting something like N4S shit and Project Cars. Maybe the career has some first person out of car stuff?

Do we have a car / manufacturer list for this game yet?

So short....darn it.
Looks good from what little I saw.
Should be a good arcade racer to fool around in. The extra time they put in will only help.
I don't know if the video is a perfect capture, but outside of the first second it holds around/above 30fps (30-32)
Video may not be a great indicator though.
LOL, between this and the Forza thread...I swear all people care about are HUDs and how they function in a racing game. Who cares about the HUD people...geez.
I can very much see the difference between 30 and 60, but I'm ok with 30 in graphics heavy arcade racers. As long as the sense of speed and motion blur is right, a rock solid 30fps can deliver.

The last video they released had no HUD either. Playable Peru track, the video is on Gamersyde.

Seems they are making good use of the additional time, it looks much more consistent now. Need a longer video and BlimBlim though.
Motion blur made PGR3 look pretty smooth back in the day, it is definitely helping here as well.

Yeah, interior and exterior lighting still doesn't look quite as good as that gif, but given the extra time they have now, I have no doubts this game will be absolutely gorgeous by release.
Them comparing the handling to PGR is also really exciting.

I still hope they go back to Motorstorm once GT is on track on the PS4.
I'd actually buy another Motorstorm Apocalypse now.

This isn't a replacement to GT.
It's a different type of game, it's not a pure simulation at all. It's more akin to Horizon or PGR as stated by the developers themselves.
