I just can't...,. no effing words. I just...... damn.

Edited to ask..... So.... right side of the same gif right before it ends is that the reflection of the damn steering wheel in the effing windshield? good lord man .... no words.

That's not the steering wheel, it's the dashboard. Would make no sense to see the wheel reflected given the angle.
 
This game looked great in the normal non-weather videos, but in the rain it is something else.

Also, is it just me or is that VW Beatle like driving on the same line as that Mini Cooper. Like literally (unnaturally) tailing it...

If you watch any type of motor sports you'll see this is a common occurrence. Nothing like having a car block the wind for you.

Sony need to ramp up their ad campaign for this one like showing all these awesome game clips!!!

It's like having hot girlfriend, but you don't show her off for everyone to drool over!!! Haha
 
Man, as much as this stuff is holding me over until release...could you imagine going on a media blackout and experiencing all this for the first time?

Now when I play, I'm going to expect the windshield smudges and the astonishing rain. I envy all those people who may get Driveclub as a random purchase or for Christmas.

This game needs to get VR and then have it demoed by Jimmy Fallon or something.
 
It's safe to assume that GT7 won't have the same quality in the environments as Driveclub but will have better looking cars. Evolution clearly put an emphasis on the backgrounds where GT and Forza never did.

I think GT often times gets a bad rap for its environments because people tend to focus on the race tracks, which are generally bland in real life. Their fantasy tracks or tracks built on locations around the world are generally really amazing looking. This is an upcoming GT6 track that's also going to be the longest that's ever appeared in a GT (16m)

I'm not saying that GT7's tracks will look as good as DC's. But I don't think that there will be as big of a gap as some expect.

I know what your saying, like blocking the way. But on the straightaway the Mini swerves to the right with the Beetle tailing but then swerves to the left again to make the turn but the Beetle seemed to have made the exact move at the same place while keeping the same distance to the Mini. It just didnt seem natural

Wow! That looks amazing! That delay was well worth it IMO.

It kind of makes you wish other games were delayed as well. I mean, what would Battlefield 4 have been like if they delayed it? Or Watch Dogs?

For me, this was "THE" game that got me to buy the PS4, so when it was delayed, I was crushed, but the end result so far seemed to have paid off. We will not know for sure until reviews and it's in gamers hands, but by the looks of it, I think it looks fantastic!

Was delayed, and it's more mind blowing to wonder how bad it would be if it hadn't.

This blew me away twenty years ago:

09d9451000ba05f2a8c77e5c2364cf1f65da4ac2


Crazy how games have advanced.

I am part of "Old Gaf" at 47 and Gran Prix on the 2600 blew me away as well Enduro for the 2600. Turbo on the ColecoVision with the Drving Module was the shit back then.

Between this and Forza Horizon 2, I am going to be in racing heaven! Both games are different enough to enjoy both of them and they both look fantastic.

I expect gt7 to look just like this, just running at 60 fps.
Let's hope weather and sounds are similar and damage is better.
These things should be bare minimum for gt in 2016 or w/e it comes out.

Wish they'd give us an option for lower quality but 60fps.. Can't stand 30fps racing games. Looks phenomenal though.

lmao. fuck, I forgot that it was delayed as well. Well, Watch Dogs is bad example then. Game is such a train wreck, moreso on PC. Yeah, if it launched when it was supposed too it would of been a Battlefield 4 situation where it was in constant flux.

Is it me or do the tire effect seem not to take the wet pavement into account? Even the wet gravel sounds dry when it ran over.

Like someone said, if you take away the HUD and show this to someone, they would never think it was a game.

I showed this to my mom and when I told her a game she literally thought I was lying. Her exact words: "There is no way that is a game, I don't believe you. If that's a game what is it called then." Then I showed her the Eurogamer video on youtube and her mouth dropped LOL.

That really looks great. Makes me shudder to think what they could achieve if given the equivalent of an R9 290 to max out.
