They have said info (time of release) about the patch will be available on release day, not the weather patch itself.
Games are region free, but you need to buy DLC from the same regional store as the game.

Yeah the IGN beyond crew (Greg and Collin) seem really down on this game. Although to be fair neither is a racing fan. Good thing neither one of the two will be reviewing the game. Instead some one from Australia will be doing it, who is supposedly a racing fan.
However CheapyD has had high praise for drive club and he is a big time racing fan. And he loves Forza. So it's totally unbiased.
Either way can't wait for this game. I've bought all four motor storm games and loved all of them so I'm expecting this one will be no different.

tempted for the better pedals but going to stick with the 300 for now. Anyone know if you can use things like the basherboards T500 brake pedal mod on the T300?

This. Not getting my hopes up until I see those receipts.
Lack of AF in real life...re-preordered!I have to admit that it took me a while to get used to this, but it is entirely physically accurate - we don't use fake shadows or mask sunlight by ambient occlusion, which often hides this 'effect'.
Under strong lighting conditions and from the right angle there won't be a shadow visible beneath the car. To show this I took a car out into the Evo car park, parked it so the sun was from directly behind and held a camera up in the air at similar angle to the chase camera.
Nothing is faked or baked in this image either

I think one of the DLC is a clown horn for your car, so that should be a lot of fun to use if you're trailing behind.
is there a difference if I buy the EU copy of the game? Can i use it on the AU store then? seeing as sometimes we get the EU/PAL copy in Australia?

Rushy can you confirm?
I was hoping that's the reason the review embargo runs late. I was worried most review sites wouldn't revisit after the weather patch, and that would be a shame because it appears to alter the gameplay hugely, never mind the glorious visuals.

I just wanna say, I've been a little negative on the game , but after watching gamersyde.com mp4 videos, the game stomps every other Nextgen game graphically. the streaming version makes the game look horrible in comparison.
Just because something is physically accurate doesn't mean it's pleasing to an eye. These things should be avoided (and are avoided) in art (paintings, illustration, movies, etc). That's number one rule of any art form. Someone in your art department should have picked up on this. Just saying...

But he said they didn't want to fake any of the lighting.

Lol, no. The point of Driveclubs graphics engine is to be as realistic and accurate as possible, and accurate lighting and volumetrics come under that banner. The art so to speak is in the trackside design and details, along with the vehicles themselves. The placement of mountains, tree's,foliage, rocks, surfaces, flocks of birds, water sprinklers, confetti, textures, colours and all the rest.
Regarding the lighting engine, what you see is what you would roughly get were you to experience these tracks in real life. Driveclub is successful in that regard, as it is the closest thing to photo realistic graphics in a racing game we've had yet, despite still being some way off in any case.
You like magic floating cars? Good for you.

"The one thing I don't like about Driveclub's graphics is that its almost too good."
You are complaining that they shouldn't have mimicked real life shadow effects.
It is a pretty funny debate.

That's a problem with not trying to cheat your lighting isnt it? Sometimes real time conditions just fucks it up.
I don't mind, really. The pros of going full on GI is much higher than these problems that happens once in a while.

Dude, just go into hood view mode whenever the sun position is in this specific spot causing this specific visual issue. then hey, you could see the shadows underneath the cars in front of you and the world would be right again
and whats magic about it? Guess what, even with the sun in this specific spot you will see shadows again the moment the car turns left or right.
Is there anything NOT being nitpicked about this game yet? Holy shit.
Is it Giro day?
It's petty nitpicking at best.

Were you educated in the Academies of late 18th century Paris?
Modernism happened and we're allowed to paint what we see.
No Drivatars. Less tracks than Forza 5. Lame.

The thing that will make my loins explode will probably be watching a storm brewing... And THEN it just breaking overhead. I'd blow my beans with the force of a thousand suns.
And what you see is a floating car. It floats.... It can't be unseen. Pre-order re-pre-canceled re-pre-ordered!
And we'll all die! GREAT...NICE ONE! YOU'VE KILLED US ALL!
