No this is actually worse cause we've been looking at way better and clear footage of this build the whole day and it seems everyone is seeing the game for the first time with that crappy compressed video lol. And everyone finds it wonderful.. Go figure..

Nice to read all your comments
Are the environments set up like the WRC games?
Can we place barriers to make our own circuits / p2p routes?
What's the longest track in the game?
You can.
wow this just blew the socks off me! So much for next gen consoles not holding up to current high end PC gaming. Why cant the PC platform have a racer like this right now? I just bought a 3770k and a Sapphire 7970 OC Edition ...maybe i should of just went with a bare bones internet pc and used the rest of my cash towards more PS4 launch games if they are going to look this damn nice out of the gate, .

Oooh sure, some arcadey racers are cool like Midnight Club LA which enjoyed and invested massive amount of time into, but this DriveClub does not look like that type of game. Either way, the game looks impressive for what it is

I always found it wonderful, this video only cleared my doubts on IQ as that isn't easily spotted on offscreen videos.
Many of the complains were just... dumb honestly.
Main problem with most of the off screen stuff is overblown colours, obtuse lighting, glare, blown out highlights etc. Direct feed still let's us appreciate the lighting better, even it is really compressed.

Evolution has clearly made great progress between the E3 and Gamescom builds. They have another 2+ months to go and I predict that the final game will look every bit as good as the various trailers they have released. I know many folks have doubted that, but crow will be served in due time
Evolution team - Please, please release 1080p direct feed, high bitrate footage (not the lousy Youtube stuff). If you can do that, you will see your pre-orders go up. Too many people think the game is "nothing special" because they haven't really seen the game. Keep up the good work on the game and I look forward to playing it on Nov. 15th.

There's this weird dissonance between form and function in the two big racing games. Forza is the sim racer yet it looks slick and smooth and synthetic. And Driveclub is more of an arcade racer but it has a more natural lifelike look to it. Does anyone else see the disconnect here?

Wonder what the cost to upgrade is. Can't be full price right?
Nice to read all your comments
I don't know how you are, but seems like you are related to Driveclub somehow.
I just want to say:
Good Fu#king job man, I'm getting it day 1. Full version not PS+
hahaha this is so true its funny!
I have even tried youtube about a dozen times just in case it was still compressing/decompressing because I kept reading all the comments

I think that quote has been taken out of context cause if you see the rest of the post, i was infering more of these sim type racers. Played NFS shift, was ok for a while untill i got bored, GT5 demo was decent but still. Also i wasnt implying these games were bad cause i did acknowledge how impressive DriveClub looked

Yoshida said that you'll be able to upgrade to the full game at a discount, but they haven't said what that'll be.
Well yeah but shouldn't Forza be going for that dynamic look since it's the sim racer? And conversely shouldn't Driveclub be more of a sim since it sure looks the part?
I just find it strange.
Yup. It's amazing what great lighting can do to a game.

Is there a higher chase cam?
And I hope you can turn off those "barrier-like" checkpoints.
They feel like you're getting hit in the face.

Forza has always had this issue. It's due to the shaders, art, colour palette and use of baked lighting. The lighting IS artificial, clamped highlights etc, whilst DriveClub uses real time lighting and GI like levels of GT5/6 did/do as well.

There is so much more that can be tapped in the next gen in terms of lighting. Good bye AO maps!

One question if you can answer: In the trailers there is something different, is it some kind of post processing that makes it look even more life like? I hope whatever that is, it is added in the final release.

I'm not really seeing a major difference in texture or background detail, that isn't mostly accounted for by the difference in video quality between a direct feed and an offscreen capture. The new setting actually obscures more of the backdrop because there's more trees, so it doesn't give off as much of a sense of scope and roadside variation.
But these are the kind of things that people touting themselves as pixel-peeping experts should be able to properly compensate for in the first place.
antialiasing plus object/motion blurring should do the trick

FUUUUUUUUUUUUU! That looks awesome!
MUST... RESIST... TEMPTATION! MUST.... IGNORE...30FPS... RACERS!
Edit:
That is some slick driving in the video.

Wait. So there is pop-in? I know there was mad pop in on reflections of the car when watching the videos that Blim uploaded. Because that facebook video is just baaad.
seriously I would have trouble keeping my eyes on the road, watching the environment whizzing by is exhilarating
Really?
Thats exactly what I've been complaining about. The way the cars move just looks really IFFY
