First ever DriveClub direct feed racing footage (GamesCom)

I'm fascinated by this gif simply because it features noticeable motion blur (look at the scenery on the left). Having played the game at Gamescom I can report that such motion blur is not present during gameplay. It only appears in the 30 fps replay sequences suggesting that this gif is taken from such a sequence.

Not a big deal, really, but the replays do look nicer than what you see while playing the game but only run at half the framerate.

If we have to rely on that kind of hyperbole to create a distinction, there is a possibility that the facts are not collaborating fully.

If that makes you feel better. DriveClub is doing a literal books worth of visual effects Forza is not already. It's obviously significantly more ambitious from a visual perspective, which is why it's 30fps, and Forza is 60fps.

1080p vids have all been delivered. I've been informed they'll all be up soon.

It's out of my hands now, but I would be hopefully to see them arrive online tomorrow or Friday. Needless to say I'll post links here unless you guys beat me to it.

Hey Rushy, will Driveclub have an "exhibition" type mode, where you can walk a garage/start grid and check out your friends' cars and liveries before starting? I thought I saw something like that in one of the trailers you have showed.

Hope you can answer the following question. Will we be able to listen to our own music (Custom Soundtracks) while playing the game?

So is the 60fps dream finally dead?

I can only imagine that they'll stop saying their 'goal' is 60fps for DriveClub at this point, it's counterproductive and the game is launching in only two and a half months, if they were going to get there they'd be a lot more definitive about the possibilities at this point.

Bet DriveClub 2 will be 60fps though.

I can't wait for these 1080p videos. It's going to be fun to see the little things we missed due to previous videos' quality. My friend was complaining about them as if the final game would look EXACTLY like that so it definitely didn't help at all.


looks like the forza defender got banned, poor guy

I wouldn't even call him a Forza defender as much as a DriveClub/Sony hater. Hell, he still cherry-picked what to respond to in my long post because he no points other than the usual trolling methods and actually insulting people who tried to have a conversation with him.

We've been so focused on getting something from you that I think we've selfishly neglected you and your feelings.

So, Rushy, let me ask you this:

Are you excited?

There has to be, I mean they touted " true first person racing", " the thrill of getting into a car, strapping in" yadayada

along the same vein...it would cool if you could drive your car up to your (bigass awseome) house and pull it into a (bigass awesome) garage as a means to save games or change cars...go along with the "these are just crazy car people racing top end street machines for the lulz..

Hope you can answer the following question. Will we be able to listen to our own music (Custom Soundtracks) while playing the game?

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/08/20/music-unlimited-gets-amplified-on-ps4/

Additionally, we added new features that many PlayStation gamers have requested. You will now be able to listen to music in the background while playing games and access Music Unlimited controls on the fly without completely exiting game play or other apps. Simply press and hold the “PS” button on the DUALSHOCK 4 to access a pop up menu that will enable you to quickly pause or skip tracks, and adjust the volume.
 
Hmm. Still not entirely sure what this means.

Right now, on the 360 I can pause a game, connect to my PC's playlists to stream, select a track to start with, set it to shuffle, and go. In addition I can pause, stop, adjust volume, change playlists, etc.

Can I do the same on the PS4?
You can definitely play music from your console. Not just Music Unlimited. I don't know if streaming from your PC is going to work, but PS4 will probably support MediaServer, so maybe it will work.

They won't be on Facebook this time. They'll definitely be on Youtube and hopefully elsewhere too.

Plus to clarify these 1080p vids will be the same as the Gamescom ones posted on Facebook but in much higher quality :)

Btw. when can we expect night-footage? :p
We're busy capturing more footage, and will hopefully be able to share lots more over the next few weeks as we get closer to release.

Thanks Rushy for the update. Waiting patiently now for that 1080P footage. Blimblim where you at? Hook us up please. :)

Yeah, that quoted line just provides a lot of wiggle room. Can I choose playlists from the pause menu? Do I have to start playing music before entering a game? Do I have to associate a particular playlist with a game like GT5 does it? It could be approached in many ways, and its something I've been curious about since we heard there would be support.

I'm curious because its a feature I get a LOT of use out of.

Not sure as about streaming from other places, but yes to everything else. Music control is done with the touchpad, was announced at Gamescom.

GT approach is completely different, it's the game handling it, not the OS.
 
So close to ordering this game, but I just need to know there will be no rubber band AI. Rage quit Motorstorm PR far too many times because of the horrible AI.

Please Rushy, no rubber band AI. I can't not play this game.

Count on us for posting these videos in the best quality possible, assuming someone will not just provide youtube links like it happens too often lately :(
 
This reminds me a bit of NFS Hot Pursuit.

Cannot overstate how much of a good thing this is. Fucking loved NFS HP.

I was always going to be playing Driveclub regardless (Plus ftw again), but I'm now starting to look forward to it looking at some of the recent GC stuff.

Looks sweet.

BlimBlim, why do you guys have the best game media website ever on the world on Earth in the milky way? Seriously, why is it that you guys consistently deliver the highest quality game media time after time, when I have to scrounge through a billion websites that probably get eighteen billion times the amount of traffic all for some fucking compressed 720p footage running at 30fps?

You guys have a great model and I hope you receive the rewards for that service you deserve :)
 
Anybody else a bit concerned about Evo at this point. Im not sure what the difficulty has been with providing 1080p direct feed footage over the course of several different events now, but I'm not sure it bodes well for Evo/Sony's ability to orchestrate the launch of a massive online game on a brand new system that'll be crushed with ps+ freebie players on day one. i love evo, i have all their games dating back to the WRC games actually - I just worry about their resource management - or whether or not they've been allocated enough resources as a Sony studio to pull this off.

Not to mention their track record on online stuff is not awesome. I remember being super stoked for the promised huge amounts of Motorstorm PR DLC, that was at one point promised to come on a near weekly basis, and then took months and months for anything to actually show up. And then when it did, it was pretty anemic.

Hopefully it goes off without a hitch and I know gameplay capture and netcode/server management represent separate issues but still, the - ongoing - difficulties with capturing and uploading some simple footage just doesn't inspire a huge amount of confidence for day one.

And just like everybody else, I appreciate you updating and weighing in, Rushy.
