Looking delicious.
The Environments are especially nice. A lot of racing games make the surroundings look too fake and sterile, which imo takes away from the immersion of the game. Looking at the few clips of DC, the trackside looks quite gritty and lively, it just looks organic.
The A.I, if those clips are racing A.I, is looking spectacular too, it has a bit of that Motorstorm aggression which I loved.

Absolutely. Not every game needs it but sim racers need it.

Any racing game where you can get up to 200mph or faster would benefit tremendously from 60fps, whether its a sim or not. Thats a football field a second passing under those tires, and the more samples you can get of the contact patches in that time the better. Thats feedback, pure and simple.

But thats a preference. I don't think its mandatory, as I hold DriveClub up against its reveal footage more than a 60fps target. And man is this game looking good.

New footage looks fantastic, yet again!

Only problem I have with the most recent video is that the some of the shadows being cast inside the cockpit look a bit funny.

I don't believe they're looking at 60fps anymore. On the strength of these clips though, I'd argue they don't need to.

The tracks look great too - this one reminds me of Sega Rally or Pacific Rim, but they all look really unique. I can't wait for some proper length, quality HD video.

Rushy, get your elves to make us a nice DC WIP video Christmas present eh, there's a good chap. ;)

That lighting from all the trees. Oh my.

Game is really shaping up well. Keep it up Evolution! You got my attention. You guys don't have to go PS+, I will pay for this. And again I love the AI. They are going 3 wide up ahead trying to gain positions, and I see someone skidding out near the lead.

Man .. going to be FUN

It could change though, right?

Definitely, I'd love to see DriceClub at 60fps but it's not the game that I feel I couldn't play at 30 like say Gran Turismo or the F1 games.

Rushy if you read this:

first things first: congrats to you and your wife with the newborn!!

second, something less important but nonetheless important: #Driveclub looks great. please please please NO

- extreme rubberbanding AI
- boost, nitro or turbo system

or at least the option to turn them off :)

That's what I wanted to say :)

Godspeed to you and your team!

To confirm there is no artificial catch-up in DRIVECLUB. The AI can only drive as fast as a human, so there is no cheating what so ever.

In the Kyle video you just saw, just before the clip begins I along with the AI in front make a mistake allowing the AI further behind to catch up down the long straight and fly by.

DRIVECLUB only features real world licensed cars, so there won't be any MotorStorm-esque boost or nitro system in the game.

And to confirm everything you see is work in progress, so hopefully every new screenshot or video will look better and better as we get closer to launch early next year. We're working hard to add as much polish as we can across the entire game, but I can't talk about features just yet.

And by the way, expect some more clips reasonably soon ;)

Damn seeing a gaf club with all the same design and colors race together is going to be awesome.

That sounds amazing.

Being able to upload your own image to the game and adding it to our cars would be amazing. We should all have Banderas on our hoods. :)
