I like how people cherry pick bad screenshots to make this game overall seem visually bad
This.

Sorry I will not dumb down to the point that I think a gif from a game actually look better than the game it's made from.
there is a reason why that gif look better to you & that's because it's in a smaller window on your screen so do the same thing to the game & put them on equal terms & see if the gif look better or is it just that you're looking at the gif in a smaller window.
So let me ask...
Do you think PGR4 in actual gameplay looks this good?

I'm not sure you really want to bother with this.
I've had a very long, boring day. I need this.
I'm quoting myself. Yep.
That screenshot with the yellow Ferrari...I don't even know how it where it came from. The link above is gameplay and not even at 1080. If anyone thinks that yellow car pic is how this game looks...shrug
Load up the game on the same level, same weather and take a shot in 3rd person around the same area as the picture then (not photomode).
I get that the game looks completely awesome during the weather fx scenes, but do note that the entirety of image is distorted in some way while all of that is going on and while it does look awesome, I don't think you can toss that up to handwave away how the game actually looks au naturale minus all of the intense DOF/RAINFX/WIND/Atmospheric effects that distort the entire scene. I don't think anyone is disputing whether or not they have one of the coolest looking weather fx systems in gaming, but that doesn't excuse the rest. I don't think it's accidental that people prefer the game in 1st person view glass refraction filtering everything, during dark when you can't see much and during rain and snow etc etc.

Hook your 360 up to your computer through a capture card & let the window be the same size as that gif & let the replay play.
And the game will appear to look better just as the gif does. Play it at it's ACTUAL resolution... different story.
See how that works?

I never specified the main campaign. I said the game. For me, DLCs are part of it. I have no idea what order the DLCs were released because the menus in the game are a mess.

Yes, I've played through most of it, just not some DLC championships not included on the season pass.
My point is, the game doesn't look good during clear conditions, so there is a fair amount of races with rain and/or night.
I also didn't say there were tons of extreme conditions, but adverse ones. I just said the elements final is ridiculous, in a bad way. It isn't fun, but it also isn't hard or challenging. Especially not when the flags still stick out like a sore thumb.
This isn't exclusive to Driveclub. The Need for Speed series has been doing this since NFS: HP (2010). The roads were always wet, and now in the lastest one (2015) it was always wet + night.
I love the game, one of my favorite racers. I'm just not blind to its problems.

"Downsample it using another means, and see what looks better!"
Genius.
So you've finally caught on to what Synth has been trying to explain for so long?
And it proves that the game does look as good as the gif you are just looking at the gif in a smaller window.
lol I'm not sure what y'all think y'all just proved but it still stands that the game look as good as the gifs.

The only thing we're proving is how dumb you must be. Straight up.
It's like you think we're saying the game is rendering better or more effects because it's in a gif form, or smaller or something.. lmao. Ridiculous.
We're saying the downsampling and dithering from being that small/being a gif, hides a lot of the detail and flaws that stand out when viewed at full res. How many times must you be told? lmao
"bu but but the game looks as good as the gifs! If you take the game, and then shrink it down to the size of the gif, it will look that good!!!"
LOL, NO SHIT!? Ask yourself what happens if you DONT shrink the game down? lel
I'm dumb because I'm not crazy enough to think that a game doesn't look as good as the gif made from the game?
trust me on this I'm not the one crazy here lol.
So you're telling me if I play the game on a 10" 1080P screen the game wouldn't appear to look better than it does on a 50" 1080P screen?
saying that the game doesn't look as good as the gif because the gif is in a smaller window on your screen is crazy because the game can also be played in a smaller window & look better than that gif but that gif can not look as good as the game when you bring it up to the size of the full screen.
Thread is about environments and vegetation. DC wins there easy. Shaders used, amount of foliage and it`s quality is way beyond what other racing games offer.
Other games mentioned here may have better image quality, and it is ok to prefer their overall look, but they don`t beat DC in areas OP mentioned. Definitely not in those.
This would look decent if they were developing a flight sim or something else using massive procedurally generated landscapes.
The almost total lack of shadows would still be kind of weird though
People calling others dumb over silly videogame arguing.
A trick question? Because I remember the intro being misleading and making me disappointed that PGR 4 didn't have per object motion blur ingameSo let me ask...
Do you think PGR4 in actual gameplay looks this good?
Trust me I'm way smarter than anyone who can't conduct themselves like an adult when he can't prove a silly point.
this is who you are arguing with. I'm right you wrong.Trust me I'm way smarter than anyone who can't conduct themselves like an adult when he can't prove a silly point.
We already did prove it though. You're literally telling us to run the game in a window the size of a gif... conceding the point. You've been proving the point every single post you've made.. but apparently aren't smart enough to realize it. So you keep saying the same thing over and over.
There's nothing to call it but dumb at that point.
To answer your question.. yea.. you play the game at 1080p in the window a size of the gif and the game will be downsampled, again hiding the flaws that make it more apparently a game. Want me to repeat it again? Your argument that "but you CAN run the game at 1080p on a 7'' monitor THUS meaning the game looks like that" is completely conceding the point. We're not saying it CHANGES the game. We're saying the downsampling hides the flaws.. which it does.
The point isn't changing.. you shrink it down.. it hides the flaws. and APPEARS to look better. Quite simple.
you guys are arguing in onQ, I wish the best of luck. when he fought hours saying the Sony camera was just as good as kinect, I was done. then the whole f16, and the XBOX was a 3tf machine. I mean comeon. he push that like crazy, but always gave himself a out. But he knew what he was doing.
this is who you are arguing with. I'm right you wrong.
Ah someone said.. so what about what I said? Can you respond?Someone said the game doesn't look as good as the gif & I told them that it does you're just seeing the gif in a smaller window.
that's a fact & it's not up to appear to look better it does look better , you can hold a rock up & make it appear to look as big as the moon but the moon being bigger is always going to be a fact & you can't change that by looking at it from your own point of view.
The end!
Quick question but are you allowed to drive into them or there's an invisible wall?
But yeah those are awesome screens!

That's just the graphics as well. The handling model is just subpar.
The handling is my biggest issue with the game, I just can't stand it. Racing games are my favorite genre and i play as many as I can, the praise by a small vocal group of people for this games driving model just blows my mind. You even have a few in this very thread talking about how fantastic it is. 😕
You know what, there is a simple solution. All the whining on gifs can be stopped by simply referencing the comparison vid I posted in this thread a few pages back. There are quite a few vids showing all the top racers going head to head in motion. If you look at any of those and can still conclude that DC is not the best looking game in motion, since we don't play cherry-picked stills, then I think it's clear what's going on here...
From the time you have a thread about DC's visuals and graphical superiority, you have a million people coming to claim..."oh it only looks that good in gifs and photomode".....Anybody who's played DC knows that's not so......So again, if you don't play the game and have deemed photomode and gifs unfair for DC, because I've never seen gifs of FH3 of F7 or PC2 ever and tbf, I've never for once felt that the gifs for these games make them look better...Just watch any of the comparison vids I've posted or which are available and comeback with a straight face "that the other titles look better in motion".....
