DRIVECLUB |OT2| You Can't Rush Evolution

Still amazes me the whole cockpit view in the weather. Faster wipers in this updates further improves. Just nuts!
As someone said earlier, I also don't have the select all function when setting challenges up.
They also plan to rebalance scoring in a future update so that clean drifting can match the old top scores. That's how they plan to make the existing leaderboards competitive without wiping it entirely
So you are saying people can put them pitchforks down?
@Rushy can we have the black bars at the bottom of the screen fade away after 2-3 seconds? I'd love to record footage of those beautful fly-bys without themthey can reappear if we press any button.
Also you guys nailed the slipstreaming, no more magic boost.
I was thinking about having a screensaver mode after playing a bit in Japan. Gotta love all the colours of the country.

Tried all Japan tracks.
I think Takahagi Hills is my favourite. Those couple of turns when going downhill... So fun!

The details in this game continue to amaze me - look closely at the first pic - the rain drops actually fall in between the blades of grass. No clipping or simple overlays, they actually made the effort to make the rain drops interact with the environment!

I'd rather see them wipe it. There will always be someone trying to beat the score of that guy above him on the leaderboards only to discover it was a faked score. Also, people that have put in clean scores will have to up their score as others will surpass them with the new scoring system.
Yeah, but you hardly see Aurora Borealis either and that's still in there
Just feels a little too overdone and unrealistic compared to the rest of the lighting, IMO.On that note though, I did one or two laps of each course last night in dynamic weather with a few different cars, and they were all an absolute blast to play. Evo have outdone themselves again, I honestly do hope they manage to find another location to digitise and release for us (comparatively) worthless peons! I would not argue if we had an Australian one with the Albert Park street circuit and the Great Ocean Road:

I'm surprised not one person has noticed the totally off gamma/brightness levels in cockpit view on all of Japan's new courses.
This is weird cause I tested all of the other courses in the game and even though I've noticed a slightly worse gamma change in the others....Japan by far has the worst gamma levels in cockpit mode.
Hope this gets patched soon but I won't hold my breath cause I seem to be the only one that's noticed so far and I'm sure most people don't really care about it :/
It was the first thing I noticed straight away and the game doesnt look so hot now imho.

Played the game a bit tonight, and these new tracks are fantabulous!
And I was finally able to launch the photo mode while using my wheel! Woot!
But why the fuck does photo mode still depend on controls only available from the DS4 when the game simply ignores any input from my DS4 when my wheel's connected? 😭
The game's aware that a wheel is connected, right?
So what about making it change the controls in case one has been detected so that one standard button cycles through the functions both analogue sticks and the touch pad are normally mapped to, and have the d-pad control them?
Pretty please, Evo, don't let me down!
Also, I've encountered a strange bug during my first race where all sounds would vanish as soon as I'm on track.
Simply restarting the race didn't solve the problem. And getting back to the menu neither.
I could still hear the UI sounds when selecting menus, but all in game sound effects and menu music had vanished.
Finally solved the problem by closing the game and restarting it again.

I noticed that, but only tried one race so I thought I could be imagining things, or it was caused by some particular lighting / time of day combination.
Rushy is aware of the sound issue and is looking into it.

I just got a game alert on my phone, I assume that's from you
Will try it out later tonight before Resident Evil unlocks

Just wanted to post this in the OT
but after the patch the gamma and brightness is totally off! the blacks are completely washed out. It looks terrible
I am not the only one with this issue. Anyway for a patch to fix this?
Just now seeing posts about this. I've only used the outside the car view so I didn't notice earlier. Rushy, what say you?
Only gripe I have and it's a minor one is that all the content added isn't supported in the Accolades. No Japan listed in the Locations, no Cheverlet in the Manufacturers etc. A shame as that's more points one could add to their overall Solo and Club score.
Aside from that, the work Evolution is constantly adding is amazing. I tip my hat to the team for their hard work. Thank you.

Asked Rushy about the gamma, he says they'll look into it:

I've tested almost every track. They've basically altered the gamma/brightness in pretty much every course so now the picture looks more washed out in general but in particular.....ALL Japan courses in cockpit view have a totally washed out picture because of the poor black levels.

Thanks for that banana, appreciated
That is simply stunning, great job bud
Thanks!
Racing without flags is definitely the way to play now. Separate the men from the boys.
You can hear the rain hitting the car and wheel spray way better in your vid.

Is it only the in-car view?

I noticed it straight away. Very grey. I thought it was just my capture card being dumb, as it often likes to send things haywire.I'm surprised not one person has noticed the totally off gamma/brightness levels in cockpit view on all of Japan's new courses.

I also noticed the gamma issue when trying out the new tracks earlier today. Everything had a slightly washed-out look to it when racing in cockpit view.

Do things look fine in 3rd person?
Huh, that's a good point. Wonder if it'll come with the next (car) update?

Nothing really to compare to but http://i3.minus.com/ibybTOL3IKTrRs.png

On all the new Japan tracks, yes...it is blatantly obvious in cockpit/dash cam.
I also noticed slightly worse black levels in almost every other course but Japan+Cockpit View is painfully obvious.
Well, we cant compare Japan cause.......Japan is new lol
Tbh, even if you could...in my eyes, it would be pointless comparing cause it's too obvious.
Well if it's black levels it should be possible to judge them with screenshots even without comparing. As you said, it would be obvious enough
The track seems narrower than they appeared on reveal. They really turned great in the end,

I wouldn't say they're any narrower than the reveal videos implied, and I actually like the variety of having some wider tracks.

Like both point to point tracks, not really a fan of either circuit yet but all of the race tracks seem solid, especially with the KTM in cockpit view, no hud of course and manual transmission. Which reminds me, I'm not a big racing guy in general but I've had Driveclub since launch week and I think I'm finally ready to move to manual if it really does have a noticeable advantage over automatic drivers. I use a controller and 99.9% of the time I race in cockpit view with the hud disabled, any tips and whatnot?
The biggest advantage I find with manual is downshifting for corners and choosing the right gear rather than let auto choose for you. Makes for faster exits.
Here's a screen I took yesterday from your drift challenge.
A capture after today's update for comparison.
Good points. Let's see what they end up doing. Really curious to find out how this shakes up the global leaderboards. Can't wait for the tour DLC.

Do you see any significant difference? I can't. Looks like the issue is isolated to Japan? I can't really tell from mangochutney's shot either
Is there supposed to be a free car with this update? or is it coming soon?
really loving the new tracks and subtle changes they have made. Also looks like the handling has been tweaked? its easier to spin out of control when accelerating hard around a corner. Anyone notice this?
btw new vid of japan coming soon

Really enjoying this game, first racing game to grab me for ages.
In the old tracks it looks fine, but Japan's night time in cockpit/dashcam is definitely more washed out and the gamma is off. It's most apparent if you set it to night time, then go from hood view directly into dashcam. The gamma problem doesn't seem to affect 3rd person/bumper/or hood cam, just the cockpit and dash views in the Japan tracks.
