It has some serious compression issues, especially being posted on imgur, I'll wait for some high quality png's before passing judgement. (but yes if the issues aren't because of compression, this doesn't look very impressive.)
Those who are very impressed with visuals are probably viewing on their phones or tablets
To me this game has always been about graphics. It's always popping up int the PC screenshot thread. The PS4 version looks like a downgrade compared to those shots. I know it's to be expected. But the game isn't jaw dropping. I hope the gameplay is good, and it has a decent career mode at least.

I tried but my order was canceled T-T I'd love to have that sweet t500rs

Looks sound, but too sterile for my liking. Not sure if it's the aliasing or how they're doing the reflections but it has that same Forza plastic-y look to it.

No more sim racers for me. Looks nice though.

I'm all in. Its 60 fps which is the most important part of a racing game. Plus it looks damn good.
Yeahhh, buddy!Damn nice
Forza 5 - Drive Club - PjCars - Horizon 2
It's a good time to be a racing fan
This looks pretty good. I'm really curious about the weather part though

Looks good, except for some blurry textures here and there. But this will be great for sim fans!
It's strange to think the best racing sim available on the PS4 won't be from Sony.
Aside from that isn't the only other compatible wheel thrustmaster have is the terrible t80?
It's very tacky, has no force feedback and a bungee chord to centre the wheel. :-/
I hope to god those two aren't our only options.
More important than physics/diving mechanics?
60fps or bust has hit new heights (or lows depending on perspective)

Sold. Driveclub murdered in its sleep.

How do people keep expecting this for morpheus? Do you really think a PS4 can render this twice at 60fps?

This is one seriously impressive-looking game.

Well by the time PjC releases there is no Sony racing sim released on the PS4, so it's not that strange. #DC is trying to blur the lines between arcade and sim, but still it therefore can't be a true sim.
A number of racing series have drink tubes to the drivers helmet. You may be seeing something related to that (I don't know what image you're looking at)
Strange in relation to the last 10 years. No one has REALLY gone up against Forza or Gran Turismo.
I've not turned to any other sim but GT on a Sony Platform in a loooong time. So it is a bit strange (to me). Nothing wrong with it.
It's what you would expect I guess. You press it to activate the pump that then enables you to drink.

Drive club developers wanted more eye candy and details for their game which is more work than using standard details and 60FPS.
Well it won't need to render the full screen twice (see VR threads passim) and supposedly you won't need all the texture detail since the immersive nature of VR means that texture detail created for 2D isn't needed or in some cases doesnt work at all.
But hey, these issues have only been discussed at length on at least a dozen other threads.

It's becoming easy to tell who actually plays racing games and who doesn't.

They should somehow add such a function unto Morpheus/VR sets. Immersion taken to a whole new level.

Driveclub is semi arcade-sim about fun with friends as a team in challenges whereas Project cars is about simulation that can be experienced very well in single player mostly. So, comparing both is not a good idea because both have different gameplay mechanics.
That screen in particular doesn't look so hot, could pass for a last gen Grid game. The rest look better, but nowhere near what I've seen in the high-res screenshot thread.

Yeah the drivers are really overloaded with things to think about in F1 racing - I find it incredible how calm and articulate most of them sound over the radio.
Well, I play with some friends every weekend. Multiplayer races can even go up to 64 players. So, pCARS is not only about the single player experience.
Check: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsvV0Xy2aaM
ButI agree, comparing both games makes little sense. I don't think DC simulates half the things pCARS does.
Raven Prime
Member
Indeed, and vice versa pCARS doesn't seem to render environments with the same detail as #DC. People should just accept that they are different games trying to achieve very different things.

Looks great, sucks that it's primarily a sim racer though.
Perspective. It doesn't look like what I've seen in the PC screenshot thread so that's probably a disappointment to some (it shouldn't be). I think it looks like Forza 5 with far less compromises made but not as good as DriveClub.
That's their goal.

I have to agree with others. Some of those don't look too flattering.
That's exactly it. You look at them so much you start to think that's the overall look of the game.

Between this and Drive Club, this is going to be a great fall for racing games on the PS4. I can't wait. My Thrustmaster T500 RS is ready and raring to go.

Doesn't look like it. The crowd might be though, but it's hard to make them out clearly.

Game will have mix of both of those types. Current tracks are still in the polish phase.
