Can't wait to see what PD does with the texture work on the PS4.

If anyone can pull off DriveClub level visuals and technical triumphs it would be PD. They will be aiming for 60fps though so ... we'll see. It will look fantastic though no doubt.

I hope they work much, much ... much much much harder on AI though. Haven't had a decent vs. AI race in GT since the series started. DriveClub AI is competitive and ferocious a lot of times, with them hitting each other and jockeying for position even against one another throughout the race. Fun to watch. They make mistakes and spin out and crash too.

You have to consider budget, workforce and time of development; PD will benefit from enormous budget, bigger workforce and much, much longer dev time.

And PD has much more talent.

So, even at 1080p60 it will trump DC in every way.

It's even hard to believe xD

I was always going to buy DriveClub, I've just been waiting for the online to get sorted and the weather to arrive. So, I bought it yesterday, put the disc in and played for... five hours straight. Goddamn, no amount of gifs can prepare you for how amazing this game looks. At times it genuinely looks real. Incredible visuals, fantastic handling, wonderful sound (that's being improved further), extremely addictive gameplay, phenomenal game.

 

[FunnyBunny]

I'm in love.

I played Chile in the rain and my roommate is sitting next to me going WHAT THE FUCKKK over and over again. These are the best realtime graphics I have ever seen.

PD fakes alot of their backgrounds while EVO renders them.

 

[hitgirl]

I have a hard time playing in cockpit because of the 30fps. Otherwise game is a good time.

I can't believe they locked the Golf GTI behind joining a club I'm not good enough to be in a club.

Just come to the OT in the Community side. Some are starting and created a new club. It's not like you need to be good to join any. I personally don't care about someone's level in my club as long as they keep playing and provide fame.

Yeah, it's a pretty scumbag thing for them to do.

Cause you asking for trouble with those claims.

Chile, daytime in the rain is face melting.

i caved thanks to this thread. priced match amazon at best buy. this game is fun, i'm loving the control. need a club though.

You don't have to be an amazing racer to be in a Club. They aren't just for racing games online, if that's your line of thinking. I think I've done about 3 races online. But everything you do can contribute to a club you're a member of. As long as you play, you will be helping them out. That doesn't sound like much, but I know firsthand what its like being in a club with people who never even log on. Like Merun said, come to the Official Thread. You'll be in a club in no time.

 

[metareferential]

Really?

DC is mighty impressive (post-patch) and I've been enjoying it immensely even before the patch, but thinking GT7 won't be able to match and surpass what Evo did is absurd.

Can we not do this here please?

 

[Flappy]

GT7 probably won't match DC in visual consistency. But it will destroy it in all other categories.

Except sound.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

I don't know. As much as I liked GT 5 and 6, they weren't exactly blowing the doors off other racers visually. I'm sure they're going to put out something really nice for the PS4, but its likely 2 to 3 years away, I don't know why we're arguing over such an unknown quantity now.

Maybe. But PD have been talking about a new sound engine for a while now. So we'll have to see.

This is amazing

 

[metareferential]

Can we not do this here please?

Do what, exactly?

It's not like we're comparing different titles; I was just saying that it is perfectly reasonable to expect a bigger studio with great experience and knowledge on the hardware to best the great things Evo has done.

But ok, let's keep saying over and over again "omg those graphics". I'll go play some more.

Can someone do an updated video plz?

 

[Putty]

I'm the biggest PD nut, but i'd be surprised if they trump DC in the visual dept at 60fps, and a locked 60fps at that. DC is just eye meltingly good looking. Pure next gen visuals. Hope PD do but id put it at....25% they do.

Create yourself a second PSN account with another Email and then join your own club?

No. Not a joke post.

Now you know.

 

[Ranger X]

OH GOD, finally I will stop having the impression the online doesn't work.
Those spinning icons were driving me nuts.

 

[KalBalboa]

Joke post? I can't tell anymore

I made a joke post the other day about the PS+ posts and a lot of people seemed to think I was serious.

Post 366 and on.

He probably was saying what the fuck at the corridors making him feel claustrophobic.

Spoiler

Yes the GFX in DC are unreal at times!

 

[Ingueferroque]

So happy to see this game get loved by the community and the developer, after the abysmal launch.

You using Chrome by any chance? It's been fucking up lately when it comes to playing GIFs. I changed to FF and they load instantly and I'm getting zero slowdown.

 

[Tommi84]

What do the colored smoke signals on the side of the road mean?

Smoke as in fireplace? From what I know they don't have any real purpose.

THOSE: http://images.gamersyde.com/image_driveclub-23127-2662_0013.jpg however, indicate the difficulty of a corner as mentioned earlier.

I wouldn't mind if they amplify 2 or even 3 times the volume of rain drop, thunder and wipers. And thunder boom should be relative to the distance between the car and where the lightning strikes. I had a lightning strike 50m ahead of the car and barely heard a rumble instead of a deafening roar.

Or this
