Those hood reflections were mesmerizing!

 

[Spongebob]

I hope this game has crazy tracks, the ones we've seen so far are rather simple.

 

[DemonCleaner]

dat lighting.

but dat compression.

 

[vivftp]

Is it only the players headlights casting shadows on the scenery from other cars, or are all cars doing that?

 

[Shaneus]

Off what? The chain?

Best possible answer.

 

[partime]

Doesn't look particulary impressive.

Learn how to spell before you troll...

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Gonna need Gamersyde versions of these videos.

I'm sorry, but the lack of 60fps was frustratingly apparent throughout these videos. And for the compromise in framerate, the crispness of the cars felt lacking to me. May be a YouTube compression thing. I'm neither happy nor impressed here, gentlemen.

 

[Kleegamefan]

Off what? The chain?

I lol'd

 

[Shin-Ra]

Crazy good lighting and I think they improved the motion blur.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Arms in the cockpit view looked a bit cartoony too.

They need to throw some sleeves and racing gloves on them arms ASAP.

 

[Vooduu]

YouTube is making the IQ look like complete ass. I'm taking GAF's word that this game looks good because I can't tell.

 

[AndyD]

Looks like it. Same with headlights of cars behind, you can see that they cast light on the roadway around you, but not if they are far back in your mirrors. The lighting system is probably on a LOD basis, so cars near you will cast and receive full effects, but in the distance they won't.

 

[bigboss370]

is this real life?


*picks jaw off floor*

 

[blastprocessor]

Hard to tell about the motion blur but that's one bit that looked PS2 like in the older footage

 

[Graphics Horse]

other than the lights I don't see the car reflecting but I probably could use some glasses anyways.

There are some parts where you can see wing mirrors reflecting in the windows

 

[KOHIPEET]

Cars seem to be reflecting each other aren't they? Am I halucinating?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

They need to throw some sleeves and racing gloves on them arms ASAP.

I was just about to say this. There's no need to go sleeve or gloveless. Hope they'll add those before release.

Everything else looks incredible though. Yhe lighting, the shadows, the reflections, the sense of speed and the motion blur are all top notch.

You can see why they decided to go 30fps based in these vids.

 

[Sydle]

The lighting is very impressive and the environments look pretty good. Not sure what to make of it outside of that.

Watched this on my phone, didn't impress, watched it once again but this time on the computer, mind blown! Youtube compression is killing the finer details, the lighting looks phenomenal. And i liked that drift @ 0:35 @ 1:30!! So good!

 

[kinoki]

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO ANTIGUA?

:'(

Antigua?! What? I've been to Antigua. I love Antigua. It's such an odd little paradise. You get to race there? DLC? I need to know! If I could re-visit it in digital form whenever I turn on my PS4 I'll buy anything they throw at me.

Oh, ey, and on topic: the gameplay looks great. Can't wait to play it.

 

[mangochutney]

Wow you guys were not kidding about the compression.

Awful video quality right there.

 

[bigboss370]

that sense of speed, in the second video especially, my god.

 

[EGOMON]

Are we going to have GAF club for this game?
I am a big motorhead and club vs club stuff is making me excited was thinking of creating a club for the hardcore racers so we can dominate the global leaderboard though it might be hard for someone who don't have friends like me >.< lol

 

[Vire]

Hey let's release the first gameplay footage in close to half a year on IGN's Youtube channel which records game footage with a potato!

 

[Loudninja]

Clubs go up to 6 people,so we will see multiple clubs.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Dibs on setting up the PGR club.

 

[EGOMON]

Only 6? hmm that seems low but yeah multiple clubs should do, we can have our own tournament

6 people per club, so we'll have dozens of GAF clubs.
Which has great potential for weekly GAF tournaments.

Stick all of GAF's racing finest in one club and we might just have a shot at the leaderboards too.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Just grabbed a random segment.

Sparks flying

Yep those were my favorite sections. This game, to me at least, really shines in first person view. Stunning

 

[GribbleGrunger]

I think it's now obvious why they sacrificed framerate in order to add in all the bells and whistles. Without that road side density of detail, the sense of speed would be lost completely.

This i like very much lol am getting excited even more

 

[Vire]

I guess it looks visually impressive? I think? Impossible to tell with these videos.

Definitely looks like there is some noticeable aliasing that wasn't present in the release date trailer.

 

[cackhyena]

Except they said they had a impressive AA technique they'd been working on iirc. At the end of the day, JAGGIES are shit and ruin the IQ on any game. We've waited an extra 8 months and I expect this to be sorted by release or I won't be buying a full price. End of.

Posts like this crack me up.

 

[Kane1345]

The lighting looks fantastic but like many others have pointed out YouTube sucks the life out of the game!

 

[valkillmore]

Excited as hell. This seems to be exactly what I want in a racing game. Great replay value, great sense of speed, on-point controls, clubs and custom avatars/liveries, and stunning graphics. Looking forward to racing with/against all of you!

 

[Droopaloop]

Graphically, it looks phenomenal. Something looks off about the physics though, especially in that second video. It doesn't look like you're even remotely punished for your screw-ups during a race.

 

[Mindman]

Sense of speed fully intact. 60 fps hate overblown as expected.

 

[jpbonadio]

The game looks amazing!

But I can't understand why Evo put their first gameplay footage in months on IGN youtube channel. The compression is so bad that even the IGN logo is a mess.

IGN + Youtube = compression nightmare

Yes, GAF club vs. club races will be amazingly fun.

 

[Fenderputty]

I saw the thread and got stoked. The I saw YouTube. Complete cock tease.

 

[AndyD]

Yep. I hope there is a good amount of asynchronous competing as well as live. For those of us in a the "Adult With Kids" clubs.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Right?

It's basically on par with that in Horizon and PGR4. I couldn't have asked for more, it's a dream come true...

Man, I'm so pumped for this. October is going to be amazing.

 

[WarpathDC]

Could be the Shitty video quality but I saw a lot of aliasing

 

[Vire]

The day to night transitions are way too quick in the second video. It turns from dawn to dusk in about 5 seconds...

Looks really weird.

 

[SniperHunter]

Screen space reflections...

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Well clearly they've set the cycle to be quick to show what it looks like during both day and night. The user can do that too, as well as make it a 24 hour clock cycle.

 

[bombshell]

I always viewed their Motorstorm RC as a proof of concept small game, so I expect in the same vein that the challenge part of Driveclub to be designed for asynchronous competition.

 

[Mullah88]

It'll be fun to have a high beam and a horn option (high beams take priority). Night races will be awesome blinding people going into corners

 

[Vire]

Ok good, that clears that up.

These two pictures makes me want a Sega rally with same visual, or Initial D
