DriveClub by Evolution Studios [PS4]

I noticed the same thing, the behind the car view is way too low.

Graphics look good, certainly better than they were a few months back, but the gameplay doesn't seem appealing at all to me...

"Every fir tree on every mountain is rendered in staggering detail. Every shadow cast is real. This isn't faked or baked or painted on. This is DRIVECLUB on #PS4."

 

[SlimJim]

Is it possible that this will play like PGR (minus the Kudo system of course)?
Because I will upgrade my PS+ copy in that case to the full version

 

[patsu]

Will it have different terrain and time of day ?

Holy shit can't believe this level of detail would be rendered in game, the environmental detail is mind blowing.

 

[rockaman]

I was surprised in some screens and videos also, the trees when they were up close were pretty highly detailed and consistently so as well. I think it's just going to get better as the generation goes forward, environments seem to be getting a real big improvement this gen...

Yes, it has realtime TOD on all tracks.

This game went from this to this

The scenery alone is beyond gorgeous...

Yeah well, they did it to us in MotorStorm too.

That's why I was a little surprised when PD alleged rejected their request to partner (and use) Gran Turismo brand. Wished they had worked together even if this is an arcady game.

Do you have any source for this? What happened?

 

[patsu]

Believe it was mentioned earlier in this thread. I can't remember who the source was.

May be Gaf, or may be an article on some gaming website.

EDIT: Found my own post: http://beyond3d.com/showpost.php?p=1745585&postcount=23
If I didn't cite a link, it might just be a Gaf post or thread.

 

[RenegadeRocks]

Could have been just a rumour.

 

[patsu]

I did another quick search. Could only find forum posts about PD rejecting DC's (or Sony's) request to use the GT name. So it's not official or validated news by any means.

Hopefully the Sony studios are still sharing/exchanging tech tips and implementation at least.

 

[RenegadeRocks]

Evolution should ask PD about the speculars on the cars. Evolution's next gen shaders are doing a lot more but their speculars are too big and don't look right. GT5 and 6, OTOH, have perfect real world scale feel to their speculars on cars.

Some HQ direct-feed videos at Gamersyde.

Looks excellent, but there is some aliasing issues. However Rushy at GAF said this:

This footage is from Gamescom. We've since implemented a new anti-aliasing solution which helps significantly with picture quality and reducing the number of 'jaggies' present on screen.

We'll be releasing new direct feed videos before launch, and with each one you'll see further improvements as we continue to optimise the game.

The whole game looks so...flat. I really should just not comment further on the "if you dont have anything good to say"

You Playstation guys should wait till GT PS4, I'm sure that will do you a whole lot better than this.

I guess it is pseudo F2P, like KI. That can possibly explain some of it.

 

[djskribbles]

I disagree completely... I think the lighting and colors look realistic and not cartoony like some other racers. Actually looks somewhat similar to GT in some ways... I have always preferred this look.

Plus the lighting is dynamic...some of the footage is during a cloudy day. The Aston Martin video (sunset) does not look flat at all IMO.

The only thing they need to address is the aliasing, which apparently they have already. Motorstorm looked much better at release compared to their alpha build, so I have faith in Evolution.

 

[Gradthrawn]

You Playstation guys...

I have to ask, what does that even mean?

 

[Deleted member 7537]

I think it looks fantastic, aliasing is the main issue right now but it looks they already fix that problem. I hope we get a look at the latest build of the game soon.
