New Driveclub footage looks stunning

I've read statements like that before and quite often it turned out that even though actual gameplay was used as a basis for the footage, scripted stuff and effects were added.
I wouldn't be surpirsed if that's the case here too. If they come out and say that it's pure and completely unaltered gameplay, then awesome. But that's probably not going to happen.
But it looks good regardless. I just think the cockpit view won't look as dynamic as seen here.
You have to say, after the initial worries about Driveclub being "left to die" on PS Plus, and the apparent lack of advertising, Sony are now doing this game justice.
Disappointing as the delay was, the game now looks stunning, and presumably they still have a month or two of fine tuning.
Really hoping this hits before Infamous SS.

Really? I don't know about that, it does look good though.
Definitely agree. Turn 10 & Microsoft needs to take notes.

We've witnessed this game evolve graphically over the past few months. This is legit. It looks good enough that people doubt it, that is only a good sign I suppose.

This is by far the best-looking racing game I've ever seen.

I've seen the press trailers of pCars. Sure they are great, nothing is ever as sexy as a lie. Search youtube for actual gameplay, the graphics are well... I want to say rubbish, so I'll say it.. pCars graphics are rubbish. Compared to other PC sims the graphics are amazing, but the truth is most PC racers look at PS2 games with graphics envy (ok maybe not PS2 but you get the picture, they suck).
Which is why the PS+ deal is such a great thing. Sure, we won't get ALL the content, but for those like us that kind of like sinking a few hours into a racing game before losing interest, it's a perfect solution.
Well, Killzone looks exactly like that in game.
Don't get me wrong. I'd love to be wrong here. I have the full game pre-ordered (btw I hope it will feel like a full game and that doesn't do the same shit as Forza 5). But just from experience as a gamer and a little bit of common sense, I have my doubts. Can they realistically implement such shaky head movements? Wouldn't those mess with the playability of the game? And how would the changing DoF even work?
Expect a much more conventional cockpit view. At best it'll be like in NFS Shift (never played it but from what I've seen, they nailed the cockpit view).

Are you fucking serious? I've seen it all.
Is this a serious post? Project Cars looks amazing. Drive Club looks better but that does not mean pCars looks bad.

As far as gameplay comparisons go, Driveclub looks better to me. Environments are also richly detailed.

I'm sure they did this specifically for comparisons against Forza. Anyone who doesn't actively root for healthy competition in the industry needs to reevaluate things.
Where does DriveClub stand on the spectrum of sims / arcade racers? I understand that GT is more of a pure sim than Forza, but a lot of people find Forza to be more enjoyable. Is DriveClub aimed more at that audience?

I'm looking forward to forza horizon 2 and this as well.
driveclub looks more convincing generally but pcars can look better than driveclub in certain circumstances, and a lot of those points are true but definitely not geometry

Has the game been confirmed 60fps yet? Is that still something that is a possibility?

Clearly the real reason Driveclub got delayed was because they didn't want this to destroy GT6 this week.
Seriously though this game looks better and better. Seems crazy to me that they're giving this away for free on PS+ in any form.

Project Cars looks phenomenal, but there's a lot DriveClub does better. Made a post about some of the differences a while back.

Idunno about the 30fps in a racer, but it certainly looks pretty.

You cannot be serious.
Looks great, but I doubt this is an in game effect. Seeing as it's an advert for Channel 4 it's probably an added effect to shift viewers focus to the forming '4' rather than just look at the dashboard.
Agreed, looks nice in screenshots and online videos but 30 frames of motion and input response are missing.
you cant base graphics off of youtube videos, the compression kills it. i play the game in dx10 mode and its fantastic, and have dx11 in action and its pretty mindblowing

damn. i didn't think i was going to get a racing game. but now i really wanna play this. that delay did this game some good.
is this still going to be a ps+ game when it comes out, or did they replace contrast with this for that deal.

I wasn't basing it off just YouTube videos .And I agree with you perhaps about vehicle geometry, but definitely not environmental geometry. Don't forget DriveClub's foliage is all 3D.
On a side note, a friend of mine works at Slightly Mad Studios lol.

Damn !
But honestly, i'm not surprised, Evolution Studios can make some of the best looking games around, just look at Motorstorm...
And as for the framerate, it'll probably not be 60fps but close to it. I think Motorstorm games had better framerate than 30fps, it was smooth that's for sure.
Glad they delayed this game, i'm not in a rush to play a racer yet and i prefer Evolution Studios to take their sweet time to come up with something that looks and plays great.
With that said, cannot wait !

ah i thought you were referring to models, yes definitely pcars lodx mode is higher than what ive seen from driveclub, but i feel the lighting in driveclub is unmatched, truly stunning at times
