Thanks for linking to the gifs. It's actually frustrating looking at those gifs and seeing te huge gulf between the two in how the raindrops respond to high speeds.
It's a small touch, but it's a vitally important one to sell a proper sense of speed when racing in the rain.
I accidentally saved the wrong spelling on my phone once and I can't figure out how to get rid of it from the stored dictionary. It's annoying...
A friend of mine refuses to believe the end game is going to look anywhere near as good as the clips and is positive it's CGI. He owes me money from a previous bet and rolled that into a bet on whether or not the final game will look like the clips in this thread. I'll be 200 dollars richer when this game releases, but I'll feel bad taking his money. :/

It's pretty ridiculous that this is not even on PlayStation's official Youtube channel yet.
Is there a miscommunication or something?

Make it 150. You'll still gain but you won't feel *quite* as bad, ha.
From what I've seen they've been pretty bad all-round in terms of releasing footage either at all or on time.
This may have been posted already, but here's a comparison of the same part of the track in ideal sunny conditions, compared to the new wet and rainy footage. Insanely good implementation of weather here. Absolutely changes the entire dynamic and atmosphere of the track.
Wow, this may just be my eyes deceiving me but if has the stream/river filled up in the rain? If so that is holy shit levels of detail there. Its amazing to see what a difference the weather makes, I have watched that sunny video countless times and I didn't actually recognise it in the rainy one. Nice to see Evo sticking to their decisions and it clearly is paying off!
Someone mentioned earlier how these clips are posted through social media sites
like Facebook and Instagram in order to put emphasis on the social aspect of
Drive Club. Judging by the comment and shares on those sites, it seems to be
working lol
The HD footage will likely come from Gamescom.

Graphics look much better than what they have shown previously. Would love to see from cockpit view.
Still, I wish that they would go ahead and show off their "dynamic" social features that they claimed caused the year delay for the game.

Damn, just watched them slowed down, I think you're right! River looks somewhat flooded out in the rain version. Tonnes of amazing details and touches. The roads wet streaks, the way the cars react to and affect the surfaces, the snow tipped trees, the way the rain droplets billow and flail in the wind, the car and light reflections in the wet puddles, the misty fog around the track, the water ripples and droplets streaming up the bonnet etc etc.

really need to post these somewhere else other than yt, fb, instatagram, and twitter. even though the game looks great...its an injustice!

I'm becoming conflicted over this game now. At first it didn't interest me but after seeing the lower end cars and weather effects, I'm kind of wanting to play it. The trouble is I don't own a PS4 and don't want to consider buying one just for one game.
I will be more than glad to shoulder that burden for you
Same position on track [trees and light poles one left] but little different camera angle:
Great catch. Wonderful attention to detail by Evo.
I look forward to the 7.5/10 Ryan McCaffrey will give it for not being Forza :'D

this is by far the best looking racer now, especially since evo has fixed the jaggies on the powerline

I think you all are right... that river does indeed look to be higher! Even if it's not... simply beautiful stuff. I cannot wait! Any good ( and sub $150) wheels/peddle sets for the PS4 yet?

Y'know, I'd really like to play a game called 'The Drenched Forests of Canada', especially if it was an arty game made by the likes of thatgamecompany or SCEJ or something like that.

I concur.

Lets hope the content can keep up with the visuals.
Nice catch. It even looks choppy from the rough weather O_O

This just reminded me, have Evo ever said anything about releasing more cars post-launch?

Yes, cars and tracks.

Can't wait to play this at 60x day/night cycle with rain changing over to sleet and snow as I climb a mountain in Norway.
That just sounds bonkers.
That just sounds bonkers.
Yeah 24x day/night cycle with 24 laps and changing weather would be awesome. Probably the only endurance race that can't get boring if you suffer from gaming ADD like I do.

Have they confirmed you can have a realistic day/night cycle if preferred?

Maybe they edited the track? We don't know if the newer version has a higher stream.
Yes. That would be 1x. You could even fix it at 0. They also recently confirmed that you can do up to 25 laps if you like.

Awesome. Options are the best!

Sorry dude. Forza is downright pedestrian when compared to DC.
You mean PS+ version? I actually asked that question recently and Rushy said they will reveal those details at gamescom

It's your eyes. FH2 looks very flat and plain in comparison. Especially the lighting, it's worlds apart. The cars looks like shiny plastic.
