You wouldn't believe how hard it has been to delivering full 900 degree steering wheel animations, every car had to be rigged and animated individually. You've got both paddle shifts and stick shifts, and so many different styles of steering wheel.

The animation team really has done a cracking job, and the game just looks so much more natural because of it. When you see a car go round a tight corner with a minuscule amount of steering lock it just breaks the whole illusion, so I'm glad we've managed to raise the bar here

Man, this game looks absolutely mental. You and your team are raising the bar on so many levels.

Keep up the good work, I can't wait to play the finished product.

Sod ps+ version. I'm just gonna buy the disc.

 

[funkystudent]

Really like the lighting in those videos.

 

[Oyashrio-Sama]

WOW! O_O

Cannot be said enough. Extremely impressive clips coming out. I knew it'd look good, but damn!

Looks stunning! Animations, lighting, just incredible.

And congrats on the kid Rushy, I can't imagine how you're balancing parenting and work, I've got a 5 week old now myself.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

I doubted the game for a long time, but these short clips blew me away.

Just pre ordered it on amazon and noticed that I'll get 50% off for a one year ps+ subscription with it.

Dat reflections in chrome parts.

 

[phosphor112]

Evolution have some gifs to share. They are 50MB each and they are just looking for a suitable host.

Want to know whats funny? The 720p files themselves are 2mb at most, the Gifs at a quarter of the resolution is around 6-8. Lol.

 

[StreetDisciple]

Just noticed the subtle down shift using the paddle right before he hits the turn...Nice work!!

 

[ACESmkII]

Wow at the new footage!

Is there a new release date or is Driveclub just set for 2014 now?

 

[Spongebob]

Early 2014 is all we know.

"Early" 2014 is the best we have right now.

 

[phosphor112]

Yup! That's a full grid guys!

Driveclub is up to 12 players, unless they changed it.

 

[Loudninja]

They wont give a date until hey are sure this time.

 

[ICPEE]

Keep the 30fps, the game is progressing by leaps and bounds. Looks fantastic.

Fuckin' AMEN. 30fps.

 

[kaching]

Count'em again, there are seven cars in front...

I can't count that high in just 6 seconds! Whaddya take me for?!?

Seriously, longer vids pls.

 

[daveo42]

Wow! Keep delivering guys. This game continues to look better and better! Now I want to take it for a test drive.

Trust me Rushy i believe. No racing game has so smooth full 900 animation like Driveclub has. I played most of car games there are including almost all sim racers, arcades and ton of other games and usually it is borked 900 animation which as you mentioned look just bad (like for example GT5 prologue demo) or it is 360 wheel animation which doesn't really move as it should IRL.

Those animations constantly annoy me in every racing game because i drive irl cars and i feel always detached when i am tring to do 90 turn and wheel in game does like 40...

Big props for animation team.

Also i noticed from trailers that characters in those cars are insanely detailed for racing game. At PS meeting there was a thing that player character would actually open car door and go in car from FPP.

Is this why you created so detailed characters ? I mean it would be cool to for example exit from car and meet in FPP with other people ala Home before race.

 

[ACESmkII]

I see. Hopefully we don't have to wait too long but I'm glad Evolution is getting the extra time needed to give us a next gen missle of a racing game.

Edit is there a solid list of cars that will be included yet?

 

[Waldo Lydecker]

This game is sooo bought!

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Evolution have some gifs to share. They are 50MB each and they are just looking for a suitable host.

Anybody? Anybody? :[

 

[Systemwarrior]

You can't. There isn't a car list yet. All we can do is figure them out from these videos. I'm not good at that. Don't know if anyone else has compiled it.

That's what I thought, thanks for the reply!

 

[gift of 100 gab]

So amazing. If nothing else, please keep releasing these teases on a steady (daily) basis! So impressed with what you're doing here.

[BloodMoney]

Dat reflections in chrome parts.

Agreed, the subtle details are really going to make this game POP.
Cannot wait for the "full race video" which they are hinting at dropping this week.

 

[Muppet of a Man]

Holy moly! That is impressive. Man, Evo has the strangest dev cycle, but it certainly pays off in the end.

 

[ICPEE]

Dat reflections in chrome parts.

Yep, parts of the chrome is reflecting the scenery you drive passed while the dashboard casts shadow on the chrome as you exit the bend. Crazy detail

Hello. Do you which wheels will work for Drive Club? G27?

Lovely!

I`m from Norway and have driven around this area a few times, you absolutely nailed the surroundings, looks awesome!

 

[Perkel]

For now there is only confirmed T500RS from thrustmaster
G25 and G27 is not yet confirmed by Sony to work with PS4

DFGT support too please

 

[viveks86]

Yes it is. 7 cars in front + 4 behind + yourself

 

[crazepharmacist]

Really hope they don't go MS proprietary route. It would delay my whole PS4 purchase substantially.

 

[Chamber]

This game is just destroying the competition in terms of lighting and trackside detail. I'm one of the guys who thought racing games would see a lot of diminishing returns but this is pretty mind blowing.

 

[D-Stubbs]

This game continues to impress. Sucks it got delayed but in the end it's gonna be beneficial to the game.

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

I think someone said they're waiting on driver support from the vendors. Unfortunately I think Logitech exited the race wheel business. So it'll have to be pressured support.

 

[Perkel]

DFGT support too please

DFGT is also Logitech so probably same situation as G25 and G27.


Problem here is that Logitech laid off its wheel division so there might be no one there to send Sony their drivers for PS4.

Fanatec is in the same situation since they used Logitech emulated drivers if i got that right from other thread.

 

[peacemountain]

any news regarding steering wheel support?

 

[Gurish]

GOD DAMN!

I seriously think this is the best looking racer ever after the latest footage,even more than Project Cars.Incredible!

[viveks86]

Hehe. Between 0:02 and 0:03, there is one frame where you can clearly see 6 cars in front.

And between 0:05 and 0:06, you can clearly see 4 cars in the rear view mirror. There is one frame where i see a car that isn't counted in either of those 2 frames. That's 12 in all. I might be imagining one car, but it's 11 at the minimum

 

[Pristine_Condition]

.

 

[foxbeldin]

I think i'm sold.
I'll upgrade at least, maybe even retail edition.

 

[DieH@rd]

60fps [45-60 is acceptable with no tearing] and G27 support. That's all I want.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Wow. Latest footage looks incredible.

 

[SniperHunter]

very nice ^_^

OP updated

 

[SniperHunter]

New vid looks great, but cars in front [and drivers car] move like a wooden logs. There is no suspension tilting the cars. Totally broke the immersion for me.

BTW, that Atlantic Ocean Road looks mega sweet. Shame the chances of it being in the game are zero.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_road

this track NEEDS to be in this game! RUSHHYYYY
