Fixed that for you
Bit difficult to accurately gauge texture quality from a YouTube video .case in point.

A bit difficult? Youtube videos have such an insane amount of compression that it's impossible to use them for evaluating the IQ of videogames. And yet people continue to do so.

And more importantly, who was crazy enough to build it? I hope they were paid well.
No, it's Scotland specifically.
lol.

one thing this game really needs is more particle effects on the road ie. when the car is off the road i want to see gravel being scooped up. other than that it looks amazing
Cherrypicking is the term you're looking for.
The reason I said it, and you are free to disagree or provide evidence to the contrary, is because I feel DriveClub has nailed the overall sound of a racing better than any other of the big names.
I feel like the other racers such as Forza 5 and Shift for example, do individual vehicle sounds extremely well, but where DriveClub excels above them is more accurately mixing the sounds of the other race cars, along with all the ambient and tertiary racing sounds together, to better replicate the overall bellowing atmosphere and roar of a race itself, not just your race car, or the one or two closest to you.

I wonder why the previews aren't praising the graphics as much as they deserve to be praised.
Why is this Ryan dude allowed to write for a videogame magazine. He's obviously an Xbox fanboy and massively biased...
Is he even taken seriously by his coworkers?

first dlc pls
Your comment needs to be in gif format for me to make a decision
Does not matter we can see it looks great for ourselves, and most of the previews said its fun to play,so that's the important thing here.

Just imagine if you they had aimed for 15fps
Rustchynsky confirmed in that IGN interview as well as india: Chile, Norway, the United Kingdom and Canada.
DriveClub 4k 0.3fps edition confirmed?

400k polycount for fm3 menu and photo mode is accurate for interior + ext + wheels + rims
Same amount for fm4 (menu, photo mode, in game time trial)
Roughly the same amount for FM5 (menu, photo mode, in game time trial). Models are the same for the most part.
1m for autovista is also accurate.
Unfortunately, 45k for most in game modes is also correct for fm3, 4 AND 5.
Yup, FFM5 is still using the same low LODs as fm3 and 4 in game, just very slightly more detailed interiors.
But that's for a different thread.

Precisely, racing on city streets in PGR just feels very different to any circuit or open road racer I've ever played. I think it's mostly because people are desperate for PGR's successor (who could blame them?), and Evolution has some senior ex-Bizarre staff working on the game.
Besides, I think those comparisons are doing Driveclub disservice, I think the game will be able to stand on its own.
Absolutely, I'm expecting another drop dead gorgeous game in Horizon 2, although I doubt that the two are going to be directly comparable either. Horizon is an open world racer, and the sequel will probably have more rally racing elements from the get go. I'm really curious to see how that turns out, the first Horizon was one of my favorite last gen games, not only in the racing genre.

I've seen other racing games do this so maybe it has something to do with how the reflections are generated

Daaaaaamn... INSANE indeed.
I respect Ryan Mcafrey.. He's a cool guy.. But it's hard to understand the "mental" superiority of Forza over this.

I very much doubt you've played Forza 5 on a good surround sound setup if you say this.
Months out from release, this seems like a very particular thesis you've constructed for Driveclub, and the audio mix and ambiance is basically why the sound design in some games is considered so impressive.
And what authority do you have on Driveclub's audio?

Also, one is 60 fps, the other isn't.
It's a silly comparison to make.
Obviously Forza 5 running at 60 fps will not look as good as Driveclub running at 30 fps.
The resources are distributed differently.
For my money, I'll take the game running at 60 fps. Those fps are precious for racing games.
Driveclub looks good, it's not going to sell me a PS4 but I'm sure the PS4 owners will enjoy it.
Driveclub doesn't seem like PGR's spiritual successor at all. It very heavily takes influence from the franchise (point system, unique set of locales), but two big things that defined PGR is the eclectic choice of cars and abundance of city tracks first and foremost. Admittedly, I haven't been following Driveclub that closely, but the roster seems fairly uninspired, grabbing from the latest selection of supercars and some odds and ends. Seems to be a very heavy focus on countryside levels, routes and driving roads.
I'm still waiting for the real PGR5/spiritual successor. One of the few things that could get me to instabuy and X1 at the moment.
Anyways, I put some doubt in my statement because most of what I've seen the game is compressed video and shitty GIFs which aren't good for those sorts of assessments.

That.. doesn't inherently mean it looks better. Probably more impressive, but not necessarily better.

He misspoke then. It's been referred to as Scotland in every video of that location and Jamie Brayshaw (PhenomEvolution) said it was Scotland too in today's PlayStation Access video.

They both sound pretty great. Can you hear the wind/environmental noises in chase view? Not sure if I'd want that, but it's neat I guess.

It's a Sony exclusive and the US media as a whole have already shown to be pro Xbox since last year with the MS debacle. They became embarassing at that point to me and I can't take anything they say seriously anymore unfortunately. The game looks really good though. Hope we get the footage uncompressed from BlimBlim. Youtube does this no justice.

One thing I really hate about Forza is the stupid backfire thing on the exhaust. Always sounds the exact same on every single car. Idk it just feels weird to me.
Wow. Best audio and visual presentation in a racer yet? Hope they give Blim a HQ version of this.

Some GIF's.
Amazing!
Can't believe that Prick from IGN said Forza 5 looks better. The guy should have went to Spec Savers!

Please God, give it to me.
I did not know that. That's quite interesting and highlights why insane poly counts are not necessarily crucial for high quality vehicle models, because if F5's look fantastic whether they're 45k poly's or not.

Here you can see the rear view mirror reflecting the scenery behind it. The rear view mirror, WITH ITS REFLECTION, are reflected in the side of the car.

that looked jaw dropping, wow. my anticipation for this game is becoming almost unbearable now.

The last India video seemed quite windy in chase view. The audio mix really surprised me.

Yep, two different techniques though. The mirrors (and other reflections of things off screen) are done earlier than the screen space reflections. You won't get any 'hall of mirrors' like effects.
It looks like the SSR doesn't get another pass for the transparent surfaces unfortunately, as it would look really nice to have wing mirrors reflected in the side windows.
That's the only decent one I could find in a very short/quick search on Google.
Hmmm just noticed something weird about that gif. When the car goes near the red/yellow warning track why does the right rear view mirror reflect it, and not the left one. haha
I'm pretty sure that it's actually reflecting the lines from the previous corner.
As much as nib95 has for claiming it sounds better? Maybe Driveclub will sound better on release when played through a good sound system. But going of the videos posted, it certainly doesn't seem like it at the moment.
