It's amazing how good launch PS4 games look already, it's a great value for the amount of performance you're getting. I don't mind the lack of AA, but I usually prefer framerate/effects over AA. Day 1 along with Knack.
I really hope they show a race with more than just one other car. If not 12 at least 4 or 8. It boggles my mind how this has not been shown yet.
More than some other games, though!
Its an MP4, so you shouldn't have to convert it.
You know, PS3>Vita remote play looks pretty much 1:1 for me.

transition was cool.
But the textures and AA? lol...

The background mountain textures looked pretty bad to be fair. Not that you'll notice when playing the game and it's not a big deal by any means. It's pointless putting intricate detail into a fast moving racer anyway as you never stop to admire any part of the track.
It's also 1080p
(Vita max playable res is 720p)It's also 1080p
It's H.264/AVC - the Vita can play it back as it is.
Edit - yeah it's the profile which is too high (4.2) not the resolution.

I think their last youtube video quality was far better than the gamescom video. They changed the resolution or something to reduce loss. Have you simply tried watching the youtube video on the vita?
EDIT - Disregard. Just saw the original post!

This game has the most impressive trees in like any game ever. Also, foggy setting, yum.

Top screenshot is from Gamescom but I haven't seen the other two. Thanks.

We had a few.
You are right. Just found a bunch.
5 cars!
I REALLY love that atmospheric fog.
LOL. Guess it's not just my memory that is messed up.
Also like the damage on the 2nd and 3rd
Can anyone guess the time of day?

Oh well, it's the exact same gamescom trailer with a logo at the beginning

Exactly the same as GamesCom :/
You apparently have the ability to set cloud conditions in the game, distinguished from full-on weather effects like rain, wind, snow, etc.
I think wind will be in there as Rushy was talking about the balloons reacting to wind conditions.
Wonder if the foliage reacts to the wind as well

I'm really liking the roads in this game.
Have they revealed Scotland as yet?

Ah must have missed that. It's looking good but I really wish they didn't have those turning flags. When you put so much effort on the environment, why would you cover it up with flags?
Haha. Well the flags serve a purpose, right? The colors suggest recommended speed. I guess that's the problem when things look so good. We don't want the HUD, we don't want the flags. Heck, I might just pull over during a race to absorb the environment!
It'd be great if you had the option to remove them along with the HUD.

Actually, I don't think the flags are color-coded for speed. They're actually the colors/logo of the Club with the best stats around that corner. So your Club "owns" corners on tracks in the game.

This! However, you may be right about the flags with logos. But the color coded ones are for speed.

My wife got to play Driveclub earlier today on an actual PS4 and said it looked incredible (for what that's worth). I can't believe such an opportunity was wasted on her and she has had chance to use that majestic Dualshock 4 before me. If I'd have had prior warning I would have had her film it, or sneak me in.

Each one of those screenshot looks impressive, nice road textures, foliage and weather/fog effects.

Yeah, that's what I want from it. Miles and miles of driving. Even if they are broken up in segments. I wan't long winding roads. And I mean LONG.

GTA5 is my current TDU replacement. No joke ;P You've got a full day/night cycle, weather, damage, customizations, street racing, off-roading, even traffic and cops.
And oh yeah, you can do other stuff in that game too, or so I've heard.
Open world driving ftw.
Going to sound silly, but the open world, amazing vistas, night, day, sunset, crazy fast cars around exotic locations with immense atmosphere etc racing, in GTA V of all games, has been some of the most enjoyable I've ever experienced. Seriously captures the thrill of driving in these expansive varied amazing locales really well. Only in a much more arcadey style than most racers. I think the traffic, off road elements etc add a layer of fun which naturally DriveClub won't have, but hopefully DriveClub will be a next gen, more realistic, deeper version of something similar, only with that added immense attention to detail and driving finesse.

There are some new gameplay videos of DC from TGS, but they're from the same track shown at GC. And apparently, the same old build, the AA problem is the same, much worse than on the new video showing day/night transition.
What the hell, man? ;/

what I'm most excited about DriveClub that I think many people often dismiss (we mainly only talk about the visual of the game) is the mini challenges, the competitive aspect of it beyond just getting 1st place. I tried some racing game online, and often times, other player are so good that they left me in the dust and at that point it didn't felt any different than playing alone.
I like the mini mission this game have, I felt it makes me still in the same race and still fighting against someone instead of racing alone in the track since they are so far away, also, the addition of team racing make it more interesting too instead of everyone competing for 1st place, in team versus, every player contribute some point from the mini mission the game have in a track.
it's also bring some variety during the match, and I think imo, will encourage player to try master each of those challenges since they can easily see if they're doing it wrong or not. often times in racing games, I'm not sure how to approach a corner and even after I passed it, I'm not sure if I got it right or bad. the score system hopefully will help making you know how well you did in a corner and can steadily try to improve each corner.
