No wonder they had to settle for 30fps.

DriveClub INSANE new gameplay B-Roll footage (Nilgiri Hills, India)

I'm not sure how I feel about new threads being made out of existing threads on the same topic with other people's unattributed contributions. For example, one of the gifs in the post here is one of mine.
He loves his Xbox. Actually taking into account his bias in some ways his tempered enthusiasm makes the most impression on me of all the preview opinions so far.

pixelated mess
even then,
cars reflecting each other (i'm sure it's the same trick we've seen before, but it's the first time we're seeing it during replays)
that Pagani active aero reflecting on car body ?!?

Yeah, they definitely need to get some snow levels in this title.
Perhaps some tracks set in the Alps perhaps?

It's so beautiful......can't wait till we get an uber quality vid outside of YouTube.
Now give me this environment with open world freedom like test drive unlimited and my nostalgia would kick in just playing this game like he first tdu on the 360.
But I'll settle with this for now maybe driveclub2 will be the dream of all car games.

If 'the trick' you're referring to is the PGR trick of pasting the previous frame buffer onto the car as a reflection then its not done that way. In some of the other vids there has been shots where a car as passed by on the side and the reflection has wrapped around the car as it passed by. This would be impossible using the frame buffer trick, and would probably be impossible with SSR as well. If I had to guess I'd say they're reflecting a low fi version of the other cars on the track using cube maps.

Looks good but a bit sterile - have the announced damage/collisions yet? Hope there's some meaty deformation and destruction to counter the super clinical racing.

This video, despite the compression still blew me away.

Wow, this game looks great. I'm really curious about the social features and stuff too.

Cosmetic damage, scratches and dents, broken windows and the like. No full blown damage with cars having doors and tires fly off the car.

What are those yellow things? Pollen or sparks?
The game is doing effects that I have not seen a single other racing game EVER do, on top of insane amounts of geometry, draw distance, dynamic global illumination, the reflections, the shaders. And it's doing this on tech closer to like an HD 7870.
I mean as it stands now, it's one of the best looking games ever to release on a console, even at 30fps.
This is car porn material.

Nahh. It needs a spinoff:
Driveclub: Horizon of Paradise
(I wonder if they could make an open world racer this good).
Actually, I'll just take Burnout Paradise 2, or Motorstorm in some open world locale. Motorstorm seems more appropriate for an explorative open world racer.
We have not been invited to the preview event, so I don't expect we'll get this, sorry.

Looks so ... shallow. Sure it's arcade, but it feels like the car has no contact with the road at all. He turns the wheel 90° and nothing happens.
I want to feel the road, man.

OH it is? Damn that could be sweet!
What are the 5 countries this game has anyway?
India is one, Norway is two. What are the other three?

Looks great. Really surprised by Jeff Gerstmann saying it was a very standard racer to him and nothing stood out when he played it.

The amount the car turned seemed about on par with the steering wheel to me. *shrug*

oh.
only saw it being used in that back wheel angle, so i thought it might be exclusive to that and a few other controlled shots where the good old framebuffer trick could work.
What i've seen I think it's doable with SSR but I need to see more instances to be sure.
Impressive stuff either way.
India, Norway, Canada, Chile,
Scotland, Canada, Chile.

Thats actually what it looks like when you take turns while drifting at 100 mph.

Do you happen to know what location that is in game?

He may be thinking up a different critique.
Between the 5 countries in the game, my bet would be Chile.
