Oh wow, it made sense that racing games would be a good match for screen-space reflections, but it's hilarious how utterly tacky the implementation in DC is when you see it in free cam. Sometimes surfaces with SSR decide that, if they can't reflect the stuff they should be reflecting, why not just reflect a pixel on the edge of the screen?

Hhhehehe

How very OCD of you.

To me, this is not an acceptable answer. While I agree that online is obviously hard, there are companies that get it right, or are at least able to fix their issues in a more timely manner.

I do all my hot laps in solo event time trial, not inside the tour and my best lap with Venom GT on Tamil Nadu 01 is 1:13.437

Ok I could not do better than 1:13.564 in the Venom Hotlap race. I think it's the very best I can do with a Dualshock 4 (obviously equipped with decent thumb grips).

Sill I am quite happy with my time. I am 11th in the world leaderboard.

For whatever radon I just can't get a quick lap in on that track. I must have a mental issues with it.

Normally I am there or there abouts in the friends leaderboard so I'm sure it's in me somewhere lol

The Venom Hot Lap was the last star I needed, and took over 100 laps to figure out. There are a few places in the lap where time can be shaved off, but it's not obvious how to do it because the car has massive understeer into snap oversteer, and struggles to regain traction when it's sliding. I banked a 1:14.xxx almost by mistake, with a few small mistakes earlier in the lap before really hooking it up later. 1:13.xxx is definitely doable. Might revisit that, if I'm feeling particularly masochistic!

For "just being a bad game", according to Jeff Gerstman, a surprising number of people bother with getting 256/256. I guess it's just an OCD epidemic... Congrats to all, don't think I'll get there. Also there's some DLC already out for earning a few more stars

 

[Rys]

Every time I try and launch the Ignition section of the game, nothing happens. Same with checking PSN for new DLC from the game. Been meaning to restart my PS4 to see if that'll help.

 

[DJ12]

DLC is out this week apparently so nothing will happen until then. Stupid idea to add the option weeks before its going to be available if you ask me.

 

[London Geezer]

Nothing surprises me anymore with these people. I also saw the new options but was unable to access them. Bizarre. It makes the game look even more broken than it already is.

Nice lap, since they deleted leaderboards in solo event TT, I should go to Tour and do Venom Hotlap there.

That level of detail...insane. The lighting is incredible there. Can't wait to see If uncharted 4 will show something like that or even better.

That looks nasty. They just flat shaded with a nice texture.

 

[London Geezer]

The way they move - or not - and stay flat and facing the camera the whole time makes it look like it's sprite based. Like in good old days. But they are pretty high res textures which is nice. Definitely not something created to be seen in free camera modes as the illusion breaks down just looking at the movement and how they're fixed in 2D space.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

They're flat shaded sprites with a clever shader adding translucency lighting. The result in the leaf lighting is very convincing. It's also necessary for the dynamic lighting - if they were fixed textures, they'd look like arse in a lot of conditions.

1:13.149. I can go faster but I have rule, if you are not on the top after one hour of trying, let it be and move on to another track/car.
