Motion parallax all over my face!!!?!
I watched those videos and was sure this thread was going to be full of rage about the graphics.
Am i the only one who thinks the lighting is disappointing? There is something strange going on with it. Your headlights kind of pop in, the road ahead (more explicitly the scenery) lights up in chunks rather than from a smooth sweep of the headlights. Plus the other cars lights are mostly faked, they do not light up the surrounds. With 5 cars in front of you your own headlights should not even be needed, but they are.
And those creepy hands...
To be fair this game has better graphics than any other racer on any platform, I just expected better lighting.

Apparently you are the only one. Nothing strange going on to me.
Yeah I think I am just being picky. Anyway I will need to see a video without such heavy compression. Much of it is undeniably beautiful.
I have had a really good pc for 3 years and played the need for speed games on that. Nothing spectacular compared to that here for me.
It's just the way it is I guess. I don't think this game is going to be big. I think it will sell loads becuase people are dying for a racer on the ps4, then it won't be played in 3 months etc.
I'll wait for the videos on monday for final judgement. the car models are really nice. I don't know. looking at it and knowing it's 30fps and i'm just like, shouldn't it look better? I thought the reason it was 30 was to be mindblowing in the graphics department. I'm happy for the people that thinks that looks mindblowing, but not me sadly.

The locations are pitch black and the only light source are the directional headlights which will bounce of objects stronger that are closer to a vertical plane. Things "popping in" is a realistic representation of night time driving in rural locations.
It needs at least damage on the car. Not even sparks or scratches when cars hit each other. Lame. Only sparks happen when the car hit the railing.

Dissapointing lighting compared to what other game?
To me, this has some of the best lighting of any game I've seen so far.....
What other game has better dynamic lighting that this, exactly?

Please don't say Forza 5

of all things, why are you complaining about the lighting while DC is doing things no other game has ever done before in this regard?

Demolition, nitros, high speed blur effects, narrow forrest/city tracks, storms, crazy drifting, shaking cam, roaring engines. Stuff like that would make it look less tame, I think Rivals, the only other racer on PS4, has spoiled me because right now Driveclub looks more like a stale Gran Turismo in 30fps with awesome lighting effects. Could be a good thing though depending on your taste. Good thing it's free with PS+ anyhow if the videos are misleading, I'll be there day 1 trying it out for myself instead of just blindly trusting online opinions.
Well, there are usually no sparks when real cars bump into each other. Scratches should be there though.

So the "looks mundane" and "needs moar sparks/splosions" is the new "Wish they'd done Motorstorm instead", isn't it?
Yyyyup. Hopefully Evo can talk to Sucker Punch, get some nice Seattle environments in this bitch.

Sorry if this has been asked before ( I'm sure it has) will we getting better quality video of these clips?.
I thought the YT videos were in 368p until I checked settings and they were in HD..

evolution studios are great with atmosphere, even in Motorstorm game, they do good job to give you that festival vibe.

They're going to release high quality versions of the videos on Monday through their official website.
Look at the OP

Awesome. Thanks.
I love it when people explain something that is both well understood by everyone and totally unrelated to the issue.
I love it when someone dismisses a response with an obtuse comment without bothering to explain why they think it is wrong

Really like what i'm seeing there, but I'll need the uncompressed files...would be nice if Evo could bring them out at the same time like the crappy youtube vids and not several days later, when most nonGAFfers won't care to download them anymore.
I thought about it for a second and I think that publishers sbould really put some effort towards extremely popular sites like IGN to upgrade their players.
This is all advertising after all and Sony, MS, Ubi, Acti... All of them, are advertisers on such sites.
This gen is all about details. Having this bad quality compression is hurting the perception of the titles.
If I was them, I would push such agenda.

Blim explained either here or on another thread that sites like IGN & YT have to serve the widest internet access speed possible for viewing, henc th cruddy quality. There's also a cost by implication (IIRC YT costs google a ton of cash to provide). Having options would be nice tho, and I suspect this will be something that becomes an addressed issue over the next 12-18 months.

It's not really their players but their encoding process. Lower bitrate = less bandwitdh used
Yep completely agree. Atmosphere is a huge thing for me in any game and DC has lots of it.
Now to wait for the uncompressed versions to really soak up that atmosphere...
Also half the framerate. That's something that will always drag this game down.
As I have said, I want to see a better quality video as I am talking about things happening at the vanishing point. Resolution is important.
I could sit here and list 30fps racing games better than Forza 5 but I actually want to sleep tonight. 30fps is fine for arcade racers.
Exactly, anyone in the know about framerate knows that 60fps isn't just twice the resources. Its a lot more demanding than running at 30. i don't think this game looks too much better than forza to warrent OMG THIS SMOKES EVERYTHIIING....at 30fps.
I'm seeing jaggies, a lot, for example

I want to let you know that work is appreciated.
But you can't blame YouTube for the quality. YouTube does not compress the videos nearly as heavily as these videos.
Just take a look here:

Now that is just the first 1080p video I found and is shot with a phone so its already a bit rubbish straight form the source, but the quality is leagues above the DC videos.

The only jaggies I could make out were on the wires. I mean it's night racing, jaggies will be hard to spot sometimes.

Is Need For Speed that last arcade racer left? Everything else is a driving game on tracks.

Forza looks like a last gen game compared to DC. The main problem is lighting, it makes Forza cars look like plastic toys.
