Holeee shit. Watching on my phone at 720p, when it cut to the first on board with those sounds and visuals.. genuinely had a moment of thinking it was real footage. Like absolutely real. Utterly incredible.

Yep....Shitty compression...720p.....Can just imagine what it'l look like first hand...Audio in this is a huge step up for PD...
One thing i didn't notice as well in general with the beta and more so this as there's only one car to focus on... which i've noticed on other racers is a lack of "phasing" when the engine samples get crossfaded...Super smooth...no hiccups....Impressive stuff so far...

the moments where it cuts to bumper view look and even sound real.

You can understand why Kaz said that he just laughed when there were reports of the graphics being bad

That bumper cam looks great. Trackside detail is very impressive. I really hope this is one of the tracks that makes the VR mode but I have a feeling it is most likely the one track that will get cut.
Sound diffusion and doppler effect are kind of wrong in that video, at least listening with headphones. Which is weird because they were okay in GT6 (biggest issues were the tire screech, poor audio samples and missing sound effects).
Looks absolutely incredible though.
And lol at saying it looks like all other current-gen racers, and then proceeding to post Forza PC maxed-out screens. The fact that GTS still looks more realistic really shows that a god art direction does half of the job.

Those hills are lovely. Like holy shit.

Yes way better. The trees were always the one thing that took you out of it but they look actually fine on nurburgring.
The guy in charge of replays should contract himself out for big money, lol. Those things are on point.
I came back on the previous page and did exactly what I said I would for anyone that is interested. I'm one person that doesn't mind being told "prove it" and then actually doing it.
Any news on an "open" beta?
I noticed that too. I wonder if Brands Hatch has a lot of placeholder as far as foliage. The tree line shouldn't be big and stretching across the whole view on that hill for example (in the shot in my previous post).

Is actually a new one, though it is the same car and looks pretty much the same, think the driving is better in this one.

I have the impression that all the sounds (deflagration, transmission ..) sound good except the engines .. but it is a good step forward compared to the old GT

The echo is all kind of wrong. Sounds like the car is in a big cave or a giant tunnel, not out in the open. Other than that everything else is faaaaaaaaaantastic.

Why have I not been invited yet
Yes, it's easy to dial back as well....Willow Springs you wouldn't hear any reverb...if anything you would get a very late reflections due the the mountains in the background but would be barely audible given the distance away....Tokyo....built up tracks, then of course it'd be more prominent...
Hopefully the technical side of the audio implementation is an ever improving process as the engine sounds clearly are...

Hopefully that's just a case of tweaking the audio processing rather than a fault at the recording source.

Those off-track details are simply amazing. The surrounding hills (not only the Nurburg itself), the trees, roads, buildings, everything you'll find in real life you can see in this video, too. Well done, PD.

More importantly, why have *I* not been invited yet.
Recordings are recorded dry FWIW..

Amen to that. I hate it how replays are usually crappy in modern racing games or that in some extreme cases they're not present at all.

Somebody should gif from 0:57 to 1:02 in that video :O

If anyone is interested in how car sound with FMOD (used by Forza and Assetto Corsa for example and probably by many more racing games with average to good car sound) is made, here is a video of a well known AC sound modder doing sound for the Ferrari FXX K in FMOD and Adobe Audition without access to the car or any dyno recordings of the sound.

If you watch from 17:50 up ~22:10 you'll have a good picture of that stuff works.

Eh... I have to say I'm disappointed with trackside foliage and geometry yet again. I'm not sure what I expect out of a GT game at this point - this happens to me essentially with every release - but I just thought by the time we hit the PS4, we'd be seeing something more closely approximating lifelike. Still excited, but was hoping for more than that. I realize this is not the essential element to GT for most people, and I get what the series does right. It's just always bothered me.
Agreed with the bumper cam looking great.
I can't wait to see the finished tracks. There's a ways to go (outside of those trees....those trees look fantastic) detail wise.
This is what makes me think Brands Hatch isn't done. Things like the pits in GT:S on that track, there's a flyover/replay of that section, are missing the details from other racers. Glad to see PD having the hardware to add all this stuff in now.
This is what happens when you play a lot of racers on newer hardware between GT releases, haha. I know what you mean. It's usually telling who has and who hasn't played other games across multiple systems. They go "that's absolutely amazing"...while I sit here and go...."other racers already do that"..."but it doesn't even have grass"..."where is the tire racks and equipment in the pits".... (shrug)
That lighting on the car bodies though...PD is so good at it. I keep just staring at the cars.

No one does replays like PD, nobody.
Cars look great, lighting looks like its real, sounds are improving nicely.
The track details seem somewhat bland like the grass and trees??? It just stands out cuz everything else is sublime

Shadow on the building in the rear pops #PreorderCancelled
The people walking around is an excellent touch. Most sim racers completely miss a detail like this.
Forza Horizon 3 having people walking the streets/stairs/shops looks great in motion and in replays. Glad to see PD making it a norm in sims. Everyone standing around annoys me in other sims.
Grow up. It looks dumb saying that if something else does actually do something more or has already set a certain standard...you know that, right?
I expect PD to be the best when they get to new hardware, you don't expect them to be the best? It's an expectation, not an attack on a precious game.
Edit* Also on topic, body roll/stiffness looks incredible too there. Car movement helps a ton with good replays.
Just my opinion brah...

It's funny how you kinda changed your stances ever since you got called out on your bs

Yeah, that's what I hoped, but you never know with Polyphony Digital. They should be able to quite easily tweak the processing then and get it sounding "right".

It actually looks like grass that's why it looks strange in a game.
Irl grass doesn't have random ass tufts sticking out like flowers and bushes. Like do people not go outside? It's way more uniform in length when groomed like on a trackside.
And Lol at the people calling it worse than Forza what a joke. By far the best art and techniques for realistic sky and trees and background hands down.
Wait what?! It was bullshit?!?!
What are you talking about? What BS?
Did you go to my post on the previous page?
I've always said lighting, replays, etc are excellent. I said track detail, and other graphic details are on par or behind other games in the beta, but could change. I even backed it all up with in game captures
My "stance" hasn't changed in any way.
I guess those people are just hard headed? Haha
I'm not going to quit posting because of a few that get upset if anything critical is said while they ignore the positive.

It's almost certainly going to be some time in the second half of the year. Apparently the guy who knew about the beta and other stuff recently has said it'll be released around September or so.
I'm saying September...

Thanks <3 You make some of my favourite gifs.
Yeah, that stuff is what looks best to me tbh. Cars look so well planted on the road.
This is one of my biggest criticisms of Forza Motorsport. The game feels great, but sometimes the cars look disconnected in movement. It's not always there, and sometimes looks good, but there are moments where it looks off a lot in replays.
I think there's a disconnect between what I actually said, and what you think I'm saying. Language barrier maybe?

Sooner than later almost certainly.

And you're not hard headed, hm? I showed you a video on previous page. One game clearly looks better, even if, like you said, video is "bad".

Hey, sorry to derail a bit, but a few post back you mentioned using a ChronosMax for your wheel and I'm wondering how your experiences have been with it. I did a bunch of googling after reading your post it it seems awesome.
I have a friend on the edge, but we're both wondering things like, how much, if any, input lag is introduced in process. Also, does this basically make Fanatec wheels compatible with all ps4 games?
Thanks in advance.
