Here are a pair of lovely webm's.

First the gorgeous environments at the beginning:

And second a little bit of car porn:

[legacyzero]

This game looks amazing. Day 1.

 

[Qblivion]

Gosh, those sure are some graphics alright.

 

[amar212]

They are supersampled. The images in the OP are downsized from the originally released 8000 x 4500 images.

Link? Scee press vault or somewhere else?

 

[Shmuely Bully]

The environments in this just have a crap ton of detail the youtube compression stripped out. Amazingly good-looking landscapes.

 

[Abstruse Moose]

Just look at all that soul.

Now give me more interior shots.

 

[Betta Lines]

Game looks beautiful, but I'm pretty skeptical that these shots have been significantly touched up. The 4th to last image has the rear view mirror of the car reflecting itself, which is something that, to my knowledge, no game has ever done in real time.

A bunch of PC sims do this.

 

[Sid]

I'd like some direct feed gameplay videos instead of this.

What does "supersampled" mean ?

 

[GYNGA]

My only problem with visuals is that AA is almost too good

 

[Gaz_RB]

The fawning in this thread helps me understand why downgrades hurt so much to some of you.

That video looks amazing though.

 

[Ryuuga]

 

[DieH@rd]

What does "supersampled" mean ?

Rendered at higher resolution and then resized down so that image looks very sharp.

 

[TheStruggler]

 

[Y2Kev]

It hurts to even think about this.

Anyway, having just watched the trailer. They seem to have not only matched Horizon's IQ, they seem to have bettered it and by quite the margin.

Good God.

Horizon used MSAA and FXAA, which blurred the image very severely (especially when upscaled to 1080p). I would prefer developers go without AA than use FXAA, but I think I'm not espousing a popular viewpoint here. I thought Forza 5 looked great; some thought it looked too jaggy.

 

[velociraptor]

This looks absolutely amazing.

 

[shwimpy]

That's a racing game alright... a DAMN GOOD LOOKING ONE TOO.

Render an image at a ridiculously high resolution then downsize it to eliminate aliasing or "jaggies" - gives a very clean look.

My favourite section of the trailer. The SLS sweeping looks like real life, and the reflections on the side of that Aston at night, yes sir.

 

[AuthenticM]

Rendered at higher resolution and then resized down so that image looks very sharp.

How does that work ? I tried doing this myself with Irfanview and every time I did it, the downsized image didn't look super sharp as seen here.

Also, how can you tell if an image has been supersampled ?

Huh, I thought Horizon had a fantastic IQ. One of the best I'd seen last gen. I was playing at 720p though, so perhaps that why I didn't notice any blurring?

 

[Y2Kev]

Not everyone is sensitive to FXAA. I think it's awful. I hate it.

 

[jett]

You know, technical stuff aside, this game honestly has great art direction. Use of colors and lighting really is fantastic.

 

[Always-honest]

Any chance it's this clean in gameplay?

Wow..

 

[Theman2k]

great webm's! game looks good, as i said before.
I really hope that it will really be locked 30.

This thread needs winnershu.gif !

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Ah, that's probably why I didn't notice it. Must suck to be able to notice stuff like that. I still hate the guy who pointed out tearing to me.

Sonofabitch nearly ruined gaming for me.

 

[ArchedThunder]

The visuals look incredible, I just hope the 30 FPS doesn't hurt it too much.

 

[biglittleps]

Game is beautiful and has lot of details in everything. Its nice that the developers wanted to push more details to get the race to very real instead of doing 60FPS with ok details which willl look like other games which already we seen instead of close to real.

 

[DieH@rd]

How does that work ? I tried doing this myself with Irfanview and every time I did it, the downsized image didn't look super sharp as seen here.

Step1 - Dont use IrfanView for everything [believe me, its my main image viewing app on PC for ~10 years now]

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Fingers crossed for stable 30 fps. I had no problem playing Forza Horizon and it had stable 30 fps for the most part iirc.

I already posted a link to the high quality trailer in the existing trailer thread. It can be found here, at Vimeo.

Images aren't new either, some were in this thread from two days ago.

Rushy says: "We want to push the boundaries on PS4 with the visual detail in DRIVECLUB, so we've now locked the game to a rock solid 30fps. Doing so means that we don't compromise on the staggering native 1080p visual quality or the seamlessly networked connectivity while you race.

We've got a lot of experience at Evolution Studios and members of the team who worked on Gran Turismo, WRC, Grid, F1, MotorStorm, Project Gotham and more have all contributed to the handling dynamics. We're confident that it gives everybody a fluid and authentic driving experience that is accessible for beginners, yet deep enough to satisfy even the most track-hardened racers. Like me. "

I believe Ged Talbot is still there, I think. So you're in good hands.

Oh, and this:

 

[tapedeck]

 

[fastest finger]

Why can't I open the download? I need a new app? Seriously?

Is Win8 really that shit, or am I just being stupid?

 

[GYNGA]

They are supersampled. The images in the OP are downsized from the originally released 8000 x 4500 images.

What about the footage? I guess it's not supersampled since in the trailer it says that it's captured from PS4

You don't have unarchiving program on your PC?

oops, double post

 

[Theman2k]

ok just saw it on my computer, it's amazing.
Can't believe it's gameplay, what a difference from E3. Jesus.

This is from last E3:

:O

 

[Betta Lines]

The next Elder Scrolls is gonna be badass.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

It'll come down to if the frame rate is solid and their motion blur implementation. As they have some Bizarre/PGR vets working on this, I'm not the least bit worried about 30fps hurting the game.

Those cats know how to put out an amazing racer at 30fps.

Oh, and this:

Words fail me.. I don't know how I'm going to manage for the next 5 fucking months.

Holy shit, it's still over five months away. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Nightengale]

This.

Its social racing features aside, DriveClub seems to have a distinct identity of its own when it comes to the visual presentation that looks great. It looks vivid without feeling fake, and escapes the sterility that occasionally fills driving game's artstyle.

 

[jett]

It too is supersampled. Perfect IQ, not a jaggy in sight, not even on the electrical cables, just like in the screenshots.

Yeah the step up in graphics is pretty impressive. Now Im thinking what GT7 might look like...

 

[ArchedThunder]

They are supersampled. The images in the OP are downsized from the originally released 8000 x 4500 images.

If you look at those images the aliasing is massive, they are clearly upscaled to the 8000x4500 resolution.

 

[MidBoss]

I wanna go fast!

 

[stryke]

:O

Looks like some sort of dithering LOD system they've got going on with the trees in the bottom left.

O RLY.

Yes it's quite distracting in motion in the trailer.
