No really, the closeness of the off-track detail plays a massive part in increasing the sense of speed. Take all that away and it wouldn't feel anything like the same.
Like in the GIF, you have trees right on the roadside, hanging overhead even. That provides an extremely close 'frame of reference' that increases how fast you feel you're going.
EDIT: I would bet that its a big reason many of the trees are deliberately slanted towards the track.
I don't mean the camera movement, the frames seem to be higher than 30fps in the gif.

The thing with Driveclub is that it looks so pretty and varied. They have floating colorful leaves blowing in the wind making the race look like a congratulation of confetti as you race. The trees look unique, the environment look natural and colorful, sometimes scary. It's like you're racing somewhere real, no bland track, interesting things every turn. It helps, and maybe the motion blur, but the work put into making every little detail unique is paying off I'd say.

I have two people playing on my friends list, looks to be SCEE Beta testers. Look for people playing 'cupcake'.
Just think of this:
There will be a Super HD Remaster of DriveClub @ 60fps for PS5! The sense of speed will blow your head back!
Seriously? What games have you been playing on current gen so far that look better then this. Oh yeah right. None.

It's an exclusive title on the market leader so it'll always cop a lot of flack. At least the OT should be pretty balanced since it will be full of all the information, not just one or two cherry picked screenshots/gifs from the pro/con people.
Btw would it be possible for a mod to just add the new screens/video to the OP? Would be helpful

You are talking about 20 year old racer tactics known about since the dawn of motion. In every racer you have near track objects flying past you.
I think with this game it has more to do with the lighting, the actual road details and little things like that. Seeing the lighting flashing on your dashboard along with the gravel on the road gives the entire image the feeling of fast motion. A lot of times It is just the side track objects rushing by giving the sense of motion while everything else is static. Here everything is moving including the rear view mirrors and side mirrors.
The whole screen is pushing the sense of movement, not just the road objects

I hope the guys criticizing the screens will also comment when the game releases and screens come out from actual direct feed ? Surely ?
Not true.
Same speed as the leaked footage off mega.co.nz

Man the lighting in those gifs is incredible.
I really hope we see the cloud/weather/lighting techniques they're using cropping up in plenty more games.

This is what I've been waiting to play since I got my PS4 in November.
But I need to say: the video posted by wario64 let me worried. We're one month from release and the amount of pop-ins is really distracting. I hope they fix that until launch.

Is the beta under NDA? Are any gaffers in the beta? Where are the impressions? Stop worrying about compressed screenshots, game will be best looking racer when released. Trolls will troll as usual.

Am I the only one who finds it weird that there's wind blowing the petals around but the trees kind of look static.
Other than that, I kind of like how there's birds,petals and fireworks around to make the environments look more alive. There's absolutely no way that the visuals look downgraded from what we've seen.

Petals are virtually weightless. But I do wish at least the leaves would blow around.

Just watched that video.
Holy shit the audio may be just as impressive as the visuals! Game is going to be AMAZING blasting on my surround system. My neighbors are gonna be pissed.

It's under an NDA, yes.
There's some birds in here!

WOW...holly shit! This game might make me buy a PS4 earlier than I thought.
Gat damn, these look a lot better than the compressed screens in the OP.

That sense of speed is nothing. This is TRUE sense of speed.

That looks legit real there. Damn.
Pretty sure the beta was a part of the VMC testing thing. They notified people via email that there was an NDA breach in one of their betas and that someone leaked videos and screens of one of their tests. Could be wrong though.

Hopefully the leaker posts some video like that of the Chile tracks, the most realistic IMO, mostly cause i´ve been there and it´s extremely real.
This is from the beta, so of course they could always change things, but like I said before, when you actually get direct feed screenshots, instead of using super small gifs, you can actually see the game has imperfections.
That said, it does look really damn good and maybe they'll touch it up more before it releases.

That's the spot I was looking for. The drivers/crowds and other things that need to look incredibly realistic to fool the view into buying into the realism are always easy to pick out, but even the hands in this gif look realistic. It's why most racers have drivers with helmets on and gloves...ect.
