Playing DriveClub with the weather patch for the first time last night and then seeing these beautiful screenshots got me thinking...

It's an interesting comparison between Evolution Studios and Ubisoft.

With Evolution, they released a game where the final product actually looks better than their pre-release promotional materials.

Then there's Ubisoft (Watch Dogs in particular comes to mind) where the final product doesn't look anywhere near as good as the marketing.

Aside from the actual photos, the fact that you guys are able to get such great looking ones without their being a replay mode yet is impressive in itself.

Can't imagine how great they'll look when we get the ability to skim through a race looking for the absolute perfect shot/framing/setup.

Wait a second.

The plants actually react to the car and you don't just ghost through them?!
There goes my mind again, blown to bits.
Your mind is not the only one blown friend. Reminds me what my Mom always say 'if you're going to do something then do it right'. They've done it right.

Ubisoft presumably would have had released Driveclub last year while promoting the game with shots like these here. Then the developers would get another year for driveclub2 and would eventually achieve the graphical fidelity like Evolution Studios did with Driveclub now.

You, be soft!
 
This one looks like a shot straight from a BMW commercial! INSANE!

It's crazy how many of these shots DO look like they could be taken straight from a car commercial. And this is essentially a "launch" title; we're still pretty early in this generation. I have high hopes!
 
This thread is amazing, well done to all the talented virtual photographers! I've neglected Drive Club for a while what with all the issues and such, but found myself brought back with news of the weather update... and I can't believe how much has been improved since the game launched.

Getting into the spirit of things, here are a couple of my early attempts:

I'll definitely be putting more time into the photo mode, I hope to return with lots of shots that hopefully come close to some of the fantastic work displayed here.
 
I can't believe they can achieve lighting and detail like that in real time. Yeah, the AA might not be as good, but in motion, you're too focused on the game to notice a little aliasing.
 
One thing I noticed while in photo mode:
Tree branches actually react to the camera. Like, you see the branches move out of the way as if the camera was actually passing through.

Are you sure that is not just the leave sprites rotating on the their axis to always face the camera?
