I don't think that's the case. Have you ever tried a wheel?
If anything, it's the other way around as using a controller is very immediately accessible.

What i find funny is IQ look good in motion but people concern about pics.

does this game have a "replay" mode after races? I remember in GT6 the replays looked amazing, so looking forward to seeing how this game does it (if it does? if not, it's pretty rare not to in a racing game)
Are people trolling or just ignorant to these things? Those saying the IQ is bad, probably don't have a very good idea of what poor IQ actually is. Firstly, the game is 1080p, add to that, there is a good level of AA to the extent that very few jaggies are actually visible. Overall the image is exceptionally clean, with very little glaring aliasing. In-fact, overall it's cleaner than most other racers released on these next gen consoles.
You cannot, with a straight face tell me this is bad IQ.
It's not. It's the canada race track. Has buildings in the distance.
As soon as you preorder, you will get a countdown timer in your library. It's Oct 5th for the US.
It's coming as a free DLC update post release. Don't know when

The game probably uses some kind of temporal anti aliasing. Screenshots don't make justice to the game. It looks much better in motion, trust me.
No. You continue with your existing profile.
Yeah, I think the game starting to download 48 hours before release is the standard.

That's easily arguable.
If anything, a wheel offers more precision and the force feedback is really helpful in feeling the grip.

it's not bad image quality, but's not great either i believe Dark10x explained why.
That's how i feel about the IQ.

Some of those screenshots look better than others.
The game looks great, but its not melting my screen. Its like there is some blur going on. Its the same that kept me from being blown away by UFC, even though that game does look very good.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Lol, so does Infamous SS.
Remember all the ugly screenshots from that? I don't... not ones with good hosting, at least.

Damn...I can't believe some comments in this thread. Game looks fuckin' awesome to me and looks like a blast to play. The nitpickin' should stop...it completely ruins my excitement for this game. Not saying here that you can't discuss the game but this is way out of line imo.
But he plays a lot on PC, likely using very high IQ settings. Compared to the racers we have on these next gen consoles, the IQ is actually on the better end. We have FH2 with 4xMSAA/1080p/low AF, Driveclub with (?)AA/1080p/low-mid AF, NFS Rivals with FXAA/1080p/low AF and F5 with no AA/1080p/no AF. I can't remember what MotoGP 14 uses, I just remember the game not looking too hot. I won't even get in to the Wii U's racers...
By the way, I think most of the races will be clean and competitive.
Nope. You can preorder the upgrade now, and have the game preloading.

So I can't pre-load the PS+ upgrade because I need to download the PS+ version as well, which won't be available until the 10th (UK)?
Is that correct?

The game uses motion blur so that blur look is expected when looking at pics .
It has some best motion blur i have seen which really adds to sense of speed which important to racing games.
In motion it looks awesome in pics sometimes it just looks bad .

If GT rankings are anything to go by, then the wheel users will have a massive advantage. It allows you more precision control over the wheel as well as your accelerator and brake and makes it easier to up and downshift.
Controllers are much more accessible, but also make it much harder to make the tiny adjustments a wheel allows.

Hmn.. Kinda what i feared. I allready preordered the game but i was hoping it was cleaner. Shimmering and jaggies are always extra aparent on great looking games, especially racers.
I was very happy with how killzone and infamous looked as far as iq goes
Rivals is pretty close to Driveclub looks wise.

Excuse me, but where do I sign up for this? I have the game pre-ordered.
Yeap, it goes for a similar sort of grand vista appeal, but Driveclub just has considerably more realistic lighting, shadowing, shaders and overall scope (amount of foliage, number of tree's, tertiary effects etc).

The more I watch the InsideSimRacing video, the more I'm liking the both the track design and the aggressiveness of the AI, especially in the last race. He really had to fight hard for that 8th place finish.

You need a reality check, and I mean that literally. It's not even close.

Nope. Not at all.
Also, The owner of the store which sold me Driveclub said he saw a dude playing NFS Rivals on PS4 with a G27 using an adapter, I'm thinking it's the adapter we saw in another thread here... 'maxrace' or something.
Would be nice if anyone with Driveclub could test it!
Sorry if these questions have been up already, i'm pretty sure they have but:
Can you turn off the HUD?
Can you customize your car in any (engine, tires, different kinds of wheels and rims) way?
What happened to that animation where you open the car door, climb in and you're at the start line? Now it's just a thing in between the menu and a loading screen... Disappointing.

Not to be an ass but:
If you were to notice that detail about the animation, how come you haven't noticed the numerous gifs/vids/first page in this thread to answer your questions. Can even google it if you're inclined... Disappointing.

Yeah no doubt they can be, I suppose my point was that there is no big advantage if you only have a controller and don't have a wheel.
Certainly if I wouldn't expect to get smoked in this game online because I'm using the controller. It's not a handicap like a fighting game sans a fighting stick.
Shift 2? All cars lights are casting shadows, even on past gen consoles.

Haven't been following this thread and i'm mostly browsing GAF on my phone; 5 gif's in a row loading in isn't something i've got time for.
I agree, also thank you for selling me on the game, I literally picked it up because of your post, this one:-
Driveclub of course has them sexy affects and backgroundscale but Rivals is pretty close.

Although they did a good job, I refuse to accept it is completely natural shadow seen in real-life, it just doesn't look natural.

Guys this is an arcade racer, a wheel isn't going to give you any competitive advantage' I'd argue a controller would be easier and more effective. It would be fun to use, maybe, but I wouldn't worry about racing with a pad vs wheel users.

I think people are assuming motion blur=bad IQ, which is pretty ridiculous.

Rushy posted a real photo ... a real photo. I'll say it again, a REAL PHOTO. If you don't like reality, go play a lesser racer with sparkly graphics.

I can't find the tweet, but Rushy said for UK owners it would be on the 7th around 12pm and the US owners would be just "..a few days before" (launch) so *shrug*.

There is no shadow at all in the Driveclub shot you picked due to the angle of sunlight. That is the under carriage and diffuser of the Mini GP.
So don't be an ass.
He's just noticing, as I did, that we don't start racing directly from the get into the car sequence (something that was shown during the PS4 reveal, IIRC).
More so, you may notice that this sequence uses assets from your previous race location, and not the one that's coming up.
