Support NeoGAF

[Auto_aim1]

I think it looks decent. Not photorealistic but decent.

 

[LebGuns]

Are you kidding me? This looks amazing! All the big sites gave it glowing previews. This is getting silly.

 

[POWERSPHERE]

I accept the OPs apology.

 

[dark10x]

This is true but the topic still stands.

Of course. Of course not every game is going to be a stunner.

Forza 5 > The Crew > NFS Rivals > Drive Club

Took a quick look at your post history. Most of your posts have been pro-Xbox, so I'm not surprised.

 

[VanWinkle]

Their games improve fast during development, and I'm ECSTATIC to hear that they're targeting 60fps. Maybe they won't get there, who knows, but it feels good to know that they are aiming for that and not settling at 30fps.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

I downloaded those vids expecting the worst and then I watched them. Yup, it's just Gaf being Gaf again. Game looked pretty damn good to me. Not earth shattering, but it looked good. I want to play.

People had straws, they are now struggling to keep hold of them, gotta grasp at any they can see.

 

[kitch9]

Anyone who honestly believes that is, quite frankly, delusional.

Gt6 will have night racing.

And rain....

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

I am actually very impressed with it.

I think it looks better than Forza 5. Not by much, of course, but this is just a launch game.

The system's potential has not even begun to be realized.

Once these developers learn to fully harness the PS4's prowess, we will see big things.

Bad framerate, pop in everywhere, foliage looks like ass, very unpolished looking:

High quality vid from showfloor:

1080P Offscreen Youtube.

Very disappointing, and now the whole "it's free with PSN" is starting to make sense. So far I'd definitely would give the edge to Forza.

The screenshots released a while back are not indicative of what the game actually plays like. Infamous/Killzone poop all over this.

According to the Joystiq guys it looks great! And so did Forza. IDK maybe it looks better in person?

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

People are complaining about a "jagfest" on Killzone too. Gamespot definitely mentioned this in live coverage. They said it did not look like the conference footage and actually was a bit of a mess. Don't shoot the messenger. Doesn't bode well for next-gen in general if these games don't look great....guess there is still some dev time left; but only around 3 months realistically, with crunch and bug testing taking up the last month or so, which isn't long.

No they are not. It looks incredible, far from a 'jagfest'.

[Truespeed]

They better be pushing over 1 million polys than.

That's the benchmark FM4 set with autovista.

And FM5 is FM4s photomode models + 20% so that is 600,000 or more I'm pretty sure.



This is true but the topic still stands.

So this is game play, not bullshit mode.

 

[Always-honest]

It will be better when it releases. Tink. But my biggest gripe is that it looks so boring.
I wish they did a next gen motorstorm. I'm sure that will be the next game for them.

 

[Always-honest]

No they are not. It looks incredible, far from a 'jagfest'.

Sorry but a youtube vid offscreen is never any good evidence for this.

 

[PTG]

This thread needs more #DriveClub love.

Also, someone please post that GIF from last weeks trailer, the one through the woods.

Looks nice to me.

 

[Terrordactyl]

Turn 10 is a developer with years of experience making racing games. It's a bit unfair to compare the games imho. I really like the lighting in Driveclub but I am not sold on the concept at all.

What I don't get is why Sony is creating another racing series when they have the Grand Turismo series.

What is it about Drive Club that sets it apart from the Grand Turismo series?

From first page, but I just gotta say, what is this i dont even...

 

[Visceir]

But but but...you can walk around the car and open doors! /yawn

 

[Dorimukyasuto]

Am I crazy? The game looked great in the cockpit video.

 

[DeadRockstar]

Like people have said, this happens with every Evolution game. I'll wait and see before I write it off.

 

[Sethos]

Anyone who honestly believes that is, quite frankly, delusional.

Shhh, just let it happen.

 

[flipswitch]

They've still got 5months left to polish it up. Currently in pre-alpha stage as mentioned, should improve over the months.

 

[Hana-Bi]

There are some pretty harsh previews out there too.

 

[Omni]

On come the fuck on. This shit has to stop.

Thinking a particular game looks better than the other does not mean that the person in question are fanboys, xbots, or whatever else you kids are calling them. Grow up.

 

[flipswitch]

What are the complaints it's getting from those previews?

 

[Ploid 3.0]

I'm most likely getting it when I get a PS4. I'm not getting PS+ until I have to. I'm hoping there's a offline game in this. I loved Motorstorm and I have a feeling Evolution knows what they are doing. I also like how it looks so far. I hope it's great.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Shhh, just let it happen.

lol Killer Instincts reference.

Yeah I gotta get GT6.. too many games are coming out. I want beyond, I want Saints Row 4, I want I want I want.

 

[Hana-Bi]

What are the complaints it's getting from those previews?

Aliasing
Not many details around the track
Controls feels not accurate

Just a few.

But at 35% those points are absolutely normal.

 

[RiverBed]

"the worst" is a superlative indicating that there are varying levels of bad- topic wise. What should be said is 'not impressive' or a variant of that since ALL of the games Sony showed looked good.

Nit picking or adjusting thread topic to lessen spam/troll posts? maybe both.

 

[Mascot]

35% complete worries me. Even giving Evolution the benefit of doubt, assuming the E3 demo is a old build and the game is currently closer to 50% finished, there's still only five months of development left, which extrapolates as a ten-month development period for the full game. Doesn't seem like much.

My take? When they say Driveclub is a launch title, they mean the PS+ version will be available at launch. Fewer cars, fewer environments, maybe not 100% polished, less dev time needed. The full-fat complete version then comes out when it's done, maybe this time next year.

Thoughts?

They are never going to be accurate.

 

[Blimblim]

This game is *very* difficult to film right, due to the extremely high contrast between the road at times and the sky. Miguel who is doing most of our videos tried again to make good videos, using two differently configured screens (one brighter than the other) and exposure settings on the camera. I think they look better than the two videos from before, at least
I've added these two videos to the news linked in the OP:

Would be bad if the free game isn't 100% polished. If this is a game every PS+ owner gets and maybe be the first game they play on the PS4 - it must scream next-gen.

 

[Kuroudu]

So far all the PS4 launch games (Knack, Drive Club and Killzone) don't look that impressive. Hope they can do something between now and the launch of PS4. Other games / third party games I have seen so far looks more next gen than these launch games. (The Division. Watchdog, Need for Speed, Killer Instinct, Metal Gear Solid V, Final Fantasy Versus). I know the games I mentioned aren't launch games but I expected more from Sony first party devs. especially when they only have to focus on one platform (also more powerful).

 

[British Monsoon]

Meh, looks good to me. I eagerly await to see how it looks at the end of its development cycle.

 

[SirIgbyCeaser]

Motorstorm looked like an n64 game.

 

[Mole40]

Well I dont understand why people aren't impressed with this .I thought it looked amazing with that insane draw distance in evidence again like Killzone .That huge ram in the PS4 really is showing its worth in the games I have seen.

You are absolutely out of your damn mind if you think killer instinct looks better than KZ SF.

 

[flipswitch]

Lol, comparing a fighting game to a fps, so wrong on many levels.

 

[Otsukare]

This game is not 35% complete. That is just the usual BS party line when a game is looking disappointing, oh it's 35% complete imagine what 100% will look like, come off it Evolution.

If this game was 35% complete and was releasing this year for launch, their runcorn studios would have to increase in size 10 times to house all the extra staff necessary. This game is probably close to beta.

So if it's 35% complete and say it's launching in December, that's 65% of a game they need to make in less than 6 month's. Haha. yeah right boys.

 

[Kuroudu]

You are absolutely out of your damn mind if you think killer instinct looks better than KZ SF.

Not looks better but more next gen stuff I would say, the damn particle effects are amazing and it is running 60fps. You can't really compare these two games, one is a fighting game and the other is an open world shooting game. I wasn't comparing these two games by the way, I was just more impressed with Killer Instinct, maybe because I am crazy about particle effects. I have to say Infamous SS looks better than all the PS4 launch games.

 

[Perkel]

I think people should learn a little about development process.

Game has still 6 months of dev time and those last 6 months are the one that make game look good.

 

[stay gold]

Are there any direct feed videos of this? Can't really tell from an offscreen video but it looks pretty good to me.

Im sure it'll look great graphically, most racing games do. More importantly, to the people that tried it, did it feel like it will fill the PGR void?

 

[B.O.O.M]

gah nvm

 

[Animator]

i am not sure what to say. its the only game comparing to Forza.. and on a system that should be more powerful. makes me wonder where is all that extra power ?

Are you serious?

 

[Jockel]

I really don't get the problem. Looks nice enough. IQ seems to be alright.
No complaints from me. And the price is right.

 

[jett]

IGN's footage is as good as it gets for off-screen, and I think the audio is direct feed.

[mrklaw]

I have listened to people who played it hands on. Verdict: The game in current build is "ass" and not any better than a PS3 game. It may not even be a good PS3 game such as it stands.

I´ve only seen the vids and have no idea personally but trust the guys who tried it. They were also not particularly impressed with Knack.

Jaz Rignall said it was the most fun out of Gt6/forza5/drive club. Not as pretty as forza though.

 

[Hana-Bi]

i don't see what's so next gen about Killer Instinct. I don't see what it does so better compared to current gen 3d fighters. Backgrounds looked relatively lifeless and boring too. What exactly are these particle effects you are talking about?

This is the game yes?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmPbt7Hx_cg

I'm sorry but I can't take you seriously after that. Killzone SF is a fantastic looking game. What about it that doesn't feel next gen 'stuff' to you?

The trailer didn't do the game any justice.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a-uiN5TPrU

And it's an alpha build.

 

[vio]

The game looks very rough at this point. There is evident downgrade in polygon count (cockpit view) and shadows popup is very distracting. It does not look very hot at the moment. I think it`s crunch time for Evolution Studios.
