I really like how much control you seem to have during drifting. Cars don't just become a slippery mess. Lately I've been playing Grid 2, which has a bunch of point-to-point races too. It's interesting how much more enjoyable the tracks seem to be in this game, driving is almost relaxing. Grid 2's p2p races are stressful and often frustrating with the way the tracks are laid out. That game also made me realize that Evolution made a good decision in not making them too long here, and of course the game letting you know the difficulty of each curve beforehand with the color-coded banners is greatly appreciated.

Never even realised the colour coded banner thing. Was too busy looking at the gorgeous scenery and cars. Nice touch.

Holy shit

Do you all feel the delays were worth it, now?

Without a shadow of a doubt.

From looking at the videos, I think the AI are too conservative going down hill, the player always passes a few cars down hill.

Man.... Why is this game so far away?

I've got a solution; competitive photo mode. A group of six take photos of the previous race, which are then all displayed. Vote for 1st 2nd and 3rd best pic. That way you are taking photos but still playing!

all joking around that'd be rad. Spectators can be put in 'photo mode' and gain some points by being voted best picture taker of the race.

I LIKE THIS IDEA. I want it. I support it.

 

[disastermouse]

This game needs affordable pedals and wheels.

 

[Vire]

I don't typically play from dash view, but seeing this... I think I might have to.

 

[Game4life]

these videos look pretty good. never mind the gifs here. go download wario's file.


some things:

game looks good. I think the beta is more advanced than all that was playable in various expos.
at least this is what I'm getting from seeing videos of everything, no hands on at all for me yet.

now, graphics are good, some of you say blabla remove wire blabla shadows blabla jaggie blabla bla
graphics are good guys. and more importantly i didnt notice any bad habits of framerate, solidity etc. so thats very good.


all that remains for me is to find out how good handling is, and how the game mechanic will handle the abuse of the system (narrow roads with guardrails etc, the collisions between cars and sidetrack etc)

bravo wario for the vids, better job than sony or evo ever did for showing the game.

Going from the build I played at the expo it handles like a dream. Liked it the most so far among all the next gen racers.

Man, this thread has me hyped! I have a racing seat built for the logitech and Xbox wheels, but I can't use them on PS4.

Of course the TV is hung high on the wall now so it wouldn't be the same as it was in my old place with Forza and GT on PS360.

Still...really wish there were affordable wheel/pedal/seat combos.

 

[Coolbgdog12]

I just finished watching the videos and for the few minutes I was busy watching them, I was literally engrossed. I was mesmerized.

 

[icecold1983]

That's what I've been doing to get to 99% but once I got there nothing seems to work.

when that happens i usually have to start over from scratch lol :/

The AI is fine. That's how a downhill with turns should be taken. It's the player that's impatient and overly wreckless.

 

[psn]

Looks really really good. Sounds even better. Still a month to go, right?

I wonder which cars are unlocked in the beta. Anyone knows?

 

[Game4life]

I could not hear the sounds in the expo because of the noise but holy shit this is one of the best sounding racers I have ever heard.

 

[Coolbgdog12]

The sounds.. the sounds!!! The first video was eargasm inducing.

 

[Kaako]

Driving towards and eventually into the storm was kinda sexy. I dig the tracks/environments shown so far.

 

[impact]

This game better have a Gold preset on day one. It's gonna sound incredible.

Which seems like it should punish you for more, to me.

HOLY MACARONI.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

jett, stop posting real life gifs, stay on topic.

 

[Vire]

I've never seen so much trackside detail in my life. Just incredible.

 

[FTF]

Wow, some of these gifs are pretty amazing…my hype levels are rising.

 

[drotahorror]

Man.... Why is this game so far away?

Only a month away man...so pumped! I'm not even gonna watch the vids I know the game is going to be amazing.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

To think, that's not just a backdrop, that's a fully polygonal environment. Please let me step out of my car and wonder up those hill sides in photo mode.

 

[Jeels]

So much inconsistency, right guys.

 

[Vire]

Here's hoping we get some city tracks for DLC so I can make believe in my mind that PGR still exists.

 

[viveks86]

Have these been posted on youtube yet? I'm out of town and don't have enough bandwidth. Thanks!

Likely some Japan or USA DLC but no cities.

 

[JAYSIMPLE]

Looking better and better. I fell for this stuff too. See videos/pics that you don't think look that good and jump to conclusions. See more media later and feel stupid. This game will look glorious on my TV at home. Will deffo try the plus version and see if my friends are playing it

Mmhmm, he/she done great work. Go apeshit with that and weather system in the next PS4 Motorstorm.

 

[BotoxAgent]

Wow, in some moments it almost looks lifelike, even through compressed YouTube vids. Hype rising!!!!

[HooYaH]

City track, Ocean scape tracks, Official tracks.... there sure going to be a lot of DLCs.

 

[JAYSIMPLE]

I love how there is no hud. Is that standard then? Just use the dials on the car?

 

[Fezan]

Meh typical Sony game just pretty graphics with lame cinematic gameplay. I want more substantial gameplay

Spoiler

read some thing like this in 1886 thread

 

[Atilac]

Does this game have a driving line? I can't play racing sims without one.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

It's not a sim.

 

[drotahorror]

Yeah you can enable one. Atleast I'm 99% sure I have seen it in earlier vids.

 

[Atilac]

ok, but does it have a driving line?

thank you!!!!

 

[DieH@rd]

MAH GAWD. Density of enviroment objects gets me every time. Stunning.

 

[JimiNutz]

Looking amazing so far.
Really hope that this ends up being the game that forces me to get a PS4.

 

[wapplew]

City track, Ocean scape tracks, Official tracks.... there sure going to be a lot of DLCs.

Game of the year edition will be glorious!
