Perfectly fine with 30 fps. Wasn't Forza Horizon 30? And PGR?

Yea, its like 12 (dont quote me there)...12 of you bastards that will have wheels...
:/
Back when they first said they were targeting 60, I thought that it was pretty much in the bag that they would get it. After all, I thought, why would they make that proclamation if they werent 99% sure they could reach it? Failing to make that framerate after public saying they were aiming of it would be bad PR.
welp, Id say that its pretty much a longshot they get that now, considering their current public statements. I think the game looks gorgeous, but I still think they would have been better served not talking up 60fps if it wasnt a sure thing.

Add it to the FAQ somebody. You'll need to make the FAQ first of course...
Yeah that's what I thought.
Would love them to make a rally game. Or maybe even have it as an add-on to Driveclub later on.
Nope. Track list so far:
Canada - Oliver's Landing
Chile - Salar de Surire
India - Bandipur National Park
Scotland (UK) - Kyle (is this the same track as the older one, which we thought was Kinloch?)
Norway - Sentraltind
Antigua - ?
Did I miss any?

It's a shame this game won't have performance tuning.
Unless this delay will allow for it...
Is that kind of thing something that can be added later?

Can't think of any. They're still missing two continents though (the A's) so hopefully there will be several (lots?) more tracks to see. There's still no indication if there are multiple routes through the locations right? That would be great, and surely cheaper and easier to do than entirely new locations.
BTW - is there another, non-UK Scotland I don't know about? /pedantic
Agreed. No hints of multiple routes yet, though I remember seeing a race where one of the side roads was barricaded. Could be an alternate track.
And no, there isn't a non-UK Scotland.
I wish to see a London city track, though.thesuperfunk

These ridiculously short clips do my nut in!
Not yet atleast ...

I feel the image on the wing mirrors needs to be a little darker given you're looking out of windows that are tinted.
Haha!

Touche!
I'm not all that bothered about urban tracks personally. I really like how Evo are finding places that are visually spectacular but also off the beaten track in terms of the usual racing locations.
Stunning, this game is gonna benefit so much from the delay. They shouldn't have made the E3 demo which left a bad impression, the game was just not ready back them. Now we're seeing their vision coming to life.
And if they can add dynamic weather :O
I think that was already confirmed when they announced the delay.

I agree with this
I know just erasing any doubt.
Yeah I agree. Won't be disappointed if there aren't any city tracks, but a rainy London was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the reveal.

I do understand the need for city tracks, but they often times the least impressive tracks or areas in a racing game. Need for Speed Most Wanted looked best once you reached the countryside. And because of the focus on the city I don't think it ever looked as amazing as Hot Pursuit. With that said, this gives me another chance to bring up my DLC wish for DRIVECLUB, which is for them to include Atlantic Road
Just imagine racing through there during a thunderstorm.

Loving the new clips. The game has come such a long way. Just looks and sounds stunning now. Best looking racer to have ever graced any system I think.
Side note, I don't know why people keep stating that the game is only closer to the initial reveal trailer/gameplay. Imo it's an improvement over the original inception trailer in numerous ways, it was even before these most recent clips. The newest builds look even more polished than when I was comparing in my post below (at the time of the new night time transition gameplay demo).

Quick comparison reveal to now. Couldn't find better quality pics, but take away the AA differences (which have now been improved considerably over this old Gamescom build) and I don't see how anyone could say it looks like a downgrade from the reveal...at least in actual gameplay angles anyway.
If anything, several things have been improved. Lighting, cockpit shaders and materials, reflections in windows, dirt from window wiper edges, road side markings, foliage quality, rock surfaces etc.

I'm gonna b ehonest, as much as a framerate nazi as I can be at times, I'll take whatever framerate this is running at. Looks smooth as fuck (and visually so much better too!)

Gotta agree that road looks amazing.
NFS usually isn't the go-to game for great cities though. =P
PGR on the other hand... nothing but impressively rendered cities, with great layouts too.
It breaks my heart thinking about it. They could have done amazing things with the Xbone.
agreed. to me DC is like a spiritual successor to PGR i never had. which is why i am supporting this game by buying it. i do not like sim games like GT or Forza. its boring to do sim just a lap over lap over lap. i want to go wild.
last thing i need to worry about is how is my gear condition after i finish a race or should i fix my enternet tires >_>

It's pretty much exactly why I am hyped for Drive Club.
Carrying the mantle where PGR left off. Horizon was fun, but it wasn't the same.
I can't even imagine how much the weather effects will add to the graphics and atmosphere of the game.
Hopefully the headlights will light up scattered low fog in front of you during a night race.

Ok seriously this is an amazing idea. Rushy, please!
I was just thinking about an episode of Top Gear I saw a while back where they found the greatest road in the world in Romania. I was thinking what a great race track that would be. I found the footage on YouTube, what do you guys think?

PGR was 60fps. Its sequels are all 30fps though. But they'd all have been better at 60fps
Anyway, I'm not seeing much city racing in Driveclub so I'm not sure they warrant too many direct comparisons in that regard. What I am seeing is some beautiful environments that look a treat to race through.
