I really like the sound effect when he runs over the sign.

Most realistic running of metal sign sound ever. The real sign sound simulator.

Convince Logitech to make some drivers or open source their existing drivers, support their wheels, and you've sold a copy of Drive Club to me.

I just can't go back to controllers for racing games anymore.

 

[darkwing]

wait... is that frost/ice forming on the tree branches or am I just nuts?

yikes looks like it is

 

[jacksepticeye]

Always a good way to make a game look good, dim lighting and make everything wet

Did look really good though

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Just seen it: holy shit.

Looks amazing. Gonna be playing this over Christmas that's for sure.

 

[Summer Haze]

How the HELL are games looking this good already?

I am freaking out right now. This just looks amazing. I can't......

 

[Bold One]

I'm calling Bullshit on this one

 

[GooWop]

Looks amazing, soo ready to pick this up in Oct!

 

[darkwing]

I don't know how PD can top this

 

[Chabbs0]

It looks great, but I'm not seeing this mind blowing thing that everyone else is.

 

[vio]

Incredible, just wow. Imagine Motorstorm with this engine!!

 

[Kayant]

I think this is the first time I've seen a gif make a game look worse.

.

It's like it's not rainy snowing anymore

Webm to the rescue?

 

[cakely]

That looks almost ... too good? There must be a catch.

Spoiler

Shut up and take my money.

 

[Kyoufu]

Can I just ask why they upload this to Facebook/Instagram?

 

[Arukado]

Webm (with sound)

 

[nib95]

Holy crap….I kid you not, I showed my dad and he thought it was real. Easily the most realistic looking graphics in a racer ever.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Looks real.

 

[Amon37]

It's almost too good.

 

[SniperHunter]

they really need to do something about them jaggy powerlines

 

[benzy]

2 clips from the same camera view? I wanted to see the cockpit view with working wipers and a difficulty in visibility.

The water droplets running up the hood. :O

What’s the scale of the weather types in the game? Is it just rain or snow, or can we expect drizzle, sleet, downpours, blizzards and so forth?
Alex Perkins: You can expect every one of those and you can expect it to change dynamically and unpredictably while you race – because we’ve designed it to be just like real weather systems. Spots of rain can become torrential downpours or transition into blizzards, quickly or slowly, and when the clouds clear up the tracks will dry out too.

So if you’re in Norway, for example, you’ll face heavier snow when you’re racing atop the mountains and much lighter snow or sleet when you descend to a lower altitude. Lots of things play into this, like elevation, wind speed and temperature. We can even adjust all the way to zero visibility conditions too – the only limit will be the need to balance things for fun and usability.

And what about really extreme stuff, like thunder and lightning?
Alex Perkins: Deafening thunder storms with flashes of fork lightning are what we’re aiming for. Our intention is to make this as immersive and exciting as we can.

You know what guys. I am now 100% sure they have another Motorstorm either planned or in the works secretly at the moment. There is just no way they are putting all this work into a weather system like this and NOT use it in a Motorstorm game.

Just imagine it...

 

[BronsonLee]

That looks almost ... too good? There must be a catch.

Spoiler

Shut up and take my money.

The catch is 30fps. It's up to the person playing it as to whether it's a good tradeoff

Spoiler

Holy fuck it's a good tradeoff

 

[thesuperfunk]

Cannot wait to see this for real!

 

[valkillmore]

Webm (with sound)

stunning

I'm calling Bullshit on this one

That's bold.

 

[Guymelef]

Meh, Instagram.

 

[Red Chocobo]

 

[nib95]

I watched it over and over, and there is definitely snow/frost on the tree's.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

How do you guys even notice stuff like that?

 

[Niks]

Looks great.

 

[daveo42]

 

[SniperHunter]

lol

 

[kairu]

I guess the delay was worth it.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Ha ha. GT7 is going to have to look pretty spectacular to top this.

Confident that will look photo-realistic though.

I'm pretty impressed with the rain sounds, excited to hear the sound of thunderstorm

 

[Human_me]

I want a "Apocalypse mode! where fire and brimstone rains the the sky!"

Seriously.... I want that.
It would be soooo cool.

 

[Armoured Titan]

How do you guys even notice stuff like that?

Because it sticks out.

 

[Brohan]

This game looks fucking amazing!

 

[Spongebob]

Holy shit!!

Jaw dropping.

 

[stryke]

Can I just ask why they upload this to Facebook/Instagram?

Probably trying to go with the whole social networking hook they're attempting to do.

Such a terrible way to show off your game.

 

[Navid]

Wow, I figured it would look good with everything they had said prior so came into this thread with high expectations, but even with that this is pretty impressive...

Love the way the water pools in the areas of the track where the tires usually run (creating slight natural dips in the asphalt) rather than just being wet evenly across the track like in most games.

 

[Stig94]

Damn thats far past what i had expected.

Spoiler

Day 0

[op_ivy]

looks incredible. love the streaks the cars leave in the water as well.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Man this stuff looks amazing .

 

[Summer Haze]

I can't stop watching them......i am in absolute awe right now.

This is going to look incredible on my TV.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

He just likes to say things to get attention. Diva posters. I've learned to glance past those kinds of posts. The brief clips look incredible.

 

[Fruitster]

Holy hell, this really is looking incredible. That delay was the best thing that could have happened for DC.

 

[foxbeldin]

they really need to do something about them jaggy powerlines

I don't get why devs continue to bother including powerlines, they're jaggies magnets.

That said, i didn't notice it.

 

[Yoday]

As impressive as it looked, the sound is what impressed me the most. The rain sounded absolutely incredible.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Because it sticks out.

Not to me at all.
I honestly didn't even notice it till you guys said something.
