Ha, well good. I want to play that game.
Has there been any early impressions to this vs GT with assists off?

DRIVECLUB gets actual weather effects, screenshots inside

That's pretty apples-to-oranges, in terms of what the games are going for.
LOL. I can imagine what it must feel like when you come into a DRIVECLUB thread (or any racing game thread for that matter). You never know if anyone is posting images that are on topic!

Ouch - (lol no point felt of pain cos likely sudden death
)Hmm, those vehicles in the gif might be no more than 100mph+. I just can't imagine it will allow to have true physics soft body in the racing game. Maybe just simulator titles or something on purpose like Destruction Derby.

I'm from the future, I've played Halo 7 and Infamous10 : make you famous.
Meant months not years
It hasn't changed since the first game :/

Were there many good runs put in during E3?

That's not from E3.

Oh shit, you're right. I was watching it on the IGN app the other night amongst E3 stuff, blah.
Any good clips floating about? I'm thirsty.

Forza 5 - I don't think realistic settings are turned on. That's why there is no impact on the body.
GT6 - That's a glitch. Otherwise its a solid game overall.
So these two gifs proves nothing.
I think so, yeah.
I remember reading somewhere that most car makers allow for damage only if the cabin does not deform and crush the drivers.
Probably worried that it would make their cars look like chinese death traps:

I think his points is how the car reacts to the impact and not how damaged it gets.

Yep, there's definitely slow down. It could probably do with a little bit more, but I haven't played the game.
Cheers, I remember these. Best audio samples and some of the better driving I've seen from the floor.

It's all stupid anyway. No matter what settings you turn on in those two games, cars behave more or less like the F5 gif when they hit the barrier. They all behave like bumper cars compared to real life, where if you'd hit something like that, it'd be game over

Check out this video of F5 Damage
I think this is as far as they can go when it comes to licenced cars. They are not allowed to break it completely so even in the worst crash its still drivable. But this is nothing to do with PD or Turn 10. Car manufacture won't allow this, so they have no choice.

People are expecting too much because of what usually happens in console life cycle and think it will be same this time around too. While yes of course, graphics fidelity will improve but we shouldn't expect as much as it improved on PS3. It was way harder to develop and to master. More the hardware developers used, more they learned from it. This is straight up x86 architecture. Games will get more optimised but no where near Resistance 1 to TLOU jump. I think we will see consistently good looking game throughout this gen. No big ups and down.

That's still just cosmetic damage. I'm not sure if that's what the original complaint was about, but I think Driveclub has some cosmetic damage, at least paint scratching. If the complaint was about the physics not looking right when car slams into the barrier, then just about every 'full sim' racer is guilty of that as well. Car just bounces back like it's a bumper car even in the video you posted.
That looked terrible. The car looks like a wrinkled t-shirt instead of metal crunching up.
pCars has the best damage visuals, with various frames and body panels deforming and can be completely broken off.

Fair point. I'm curious to see what Naughty Dog is talking about in their tweets about TLOU Remaster, and UC4. They're tweeting like they just made some major jump in the PS4's hardware.

No, they are all equally wrong. Haven't played Forza, but one of the enduring complaints about GT is the shithouse impact physics and implementation.

Thread is about weather effects.
Last few pages have been about physics and collisions.

It's been awhile since we've whined about Driveclub. I think The Order has been stealing all the attention away.
I'm in the camp where I don't think damage really matters... (or at least during the PS2/PS3 era I was.)
I'll take licensed cars over fictional cars. Case in point Burnout 3, amazing deformations and damage at the time, but the cars just weren't that interesting.
I think its a number of factors, the fact that its licensed and also the fact that there is extra work required to make the car behave according to the damage shown. I think Forza did it well, where there was partial damage but the car handling was affected in some way, enough for me to affect my driving.
Also I think the developer's intention is that, if you are a good enough driver, you shouldn't be hitting anything anyway. Plus is it really that fun if you get a gimped car for the rest of the race if you hit the first corner, there will probably be even more online quitters plus more rubber banding to bring them back into the race.

We've never seen APU's with a shared memory pool that were able to utilize GPGU the way that these consoles can. Let's not write it off as "straight up x86" just yet.
