spent about 5 hours playing tonight and wow is the weather beautiful
that said, i feel it's a bit hit or miss....
+ when you're in the dash or cockpit cam, it looks incredible.... the way the rain drops move on the window was probably the most impressed i've been on the ps4 so far
- when you're in the ground or third-person cam though, i don't like how the rain drops clog up the 'camera' or tv screen. i understand it's meant to represent the rain hitting the camera that is flying behind or in front of the car, but with how much rain accumulates on the screen and how the DOF makes it a bit blurry, it's really hard to see... and not in a good way
i feel like they use that effect to make the rain look heavier than it is because if you stop driving the game in third-person, there's barely any rain at all... there's almost nothing falling. it's not until you start driving fast that it clogs up the screen. again, i understand why it does that and how that emulates what would happen
but i feel like all the 'rain' is just happening on a 2D plane of the camera lens instead of actually in the 3D world around the car... because when you stop driving or go into photo mode, all the rain disappears.
still looks amazing. the game makes me jaw drop every time i play it. but i hope they change that because I find it very annoying to drive outside the cockpit during the rain so far
