Yes. At the start of last gen, after the flack they got with that target render, I would like to think they redeemed themselves.
So,still no better quality video to download then? Darn,

I love the way it looks (it should fill that Ridge Racer game at launch void quite nicely), and the track detail is amazing, there's just one thing i don't like and it applies to foliage in games in general, the connection to the ground is quite jarring, maybe its the color discrepancy... it just seems to stick out like fake hair on a wig... i know i may be asking for to much... but if possible it would be ace if they'd somehow manage to make it look more natural.
That was actually the only thing that bugged me to be honest. Realistic shadows should appear blurrier the further away they are from the caster, so the ultra-sharp shadows from the trees looked a bit off-putting. It's called the penumbra:
Example in Crysis 3:
Other than that though, it looks really, really good. Loved the environments.
Well done Evolution!
Really impressed by what i saw, really looked high fidelity across all fronts. The one thing that i am very happy about is the reduced and or elimination of pop-ins. The last time i saw this game i remember it had very very annoying pop-in, to the point of making me not want to buy it. But in this video, despite a denser environment, as far as i can recall anyway, i am unable to notice pop-in. Awesomeeeeeee. Going to upgrade the PS+ version of this bad boy when i get it.

I went back and watched FORZA 5 E3 footage, honest to god environments in FORZA looked like a generation below what's in Driveclub.
Watch it guys it's mindblowing.
I see now why Forza 5 runs at 60fps, aside from cars, everything looks embarrassingly bad. also Forza has bad pop ins in the rearview mirrors

Why aren't you comparing it to the Driveclub E3 footage?
Same direct feed footage with really bad compression. so, no not yet.

I wouldn't go that far. The environments, specifically the foliage don't look as good as DriveClub, nor the lighting looks as natural due to being pre baked, but graphically it looks fantastic. I noticed from the gamescon build the car modelling detail is very high. Forza has it's own strengths and weaknesses as does DriveClub.

Better than a Facebook video I can't see on my tablet.
out of curiosity, I said let's compare Forza to driveclub direct feed footage. but I was really shocked with Forza footage.

The environments are lacking because they devs made a deliberate decision to have the game run at 60fps, not the other way around as you seem to imply. When you're on a budget (be it framerate or geometric detail), something's got to give. Doesn't take an idiot to figure that out

the only embarrasingly bad thing here, is your post.

I'm fully aware of that, but does that mean X1 has already been maxed out. That simply mean that the hardware isn't capable enough to maintain good IQ + 60 FPS

Thanks, now I want to play it.
why so offensive, look at the footage.
When Forza 2 came out on the 360, looking as horrid as it was back then (still is)... was that indicative of consoles' full potential?
To save yourself from future heart attacks, temper your expectations next time. Try factor in several key things like fps goal, environmental detail, car models, developer pedigree, development time, new hardware etc

I still think it looks average, but it may be the low bitrate of the vid. I think it looks the same as before, first time i noticed the poor road texture (2:42min).
No developer goes into a project with complete mastery of the tools they have, even if the x86 architecture is well documented. It'll be several years before either console is "maxed" out.
hahah
I get your point, you are totally right. pretty sure It will improve upon release, with future iterations looking even better.
Very true, I just overreacted a little after comparing driveclub and forza footage.
Yeah...same applies to Drive Club. Heck we don't even have to wait for its successor; I'm sure I'll be more amazed at how the final build of this game will look. It's already quite a stunner in its current state..

I dunno, personally I thought when you put them side by side like that, it really pulls Forza off it's current pedestal. Mind you, the beauty in Forza is it's 60 FPS, which youtube won't capture lol. But that was brutal, I thought the backgrounds looked horrid. Even for city scape, which is far easier to render due to simplistic geometry.
Mind you, I do think Forza will shape up nicely, the series isn't known for being ugly, but we'll have to see what kinda push they can pull off comparative to Evolution, I have a feeling with all this off-screen footage, and facebook compression, were only seeing the tip of the iceberg.

Looks much nicer. I'm not getting any real sense of speed in this video, though. Just seems like the pace doesn't match the speedometer.

Looking good.

I hope you can turn off your lights so you can surprise the living shit out of the guy in front ala Initial D. :lol
(replying to OP) wow that looks pretty darn good. Pretty smooth. I personally prefer racing around real tracks (like in Gran Turismo, iRacing, etc) but that looks fun. Game is definitely on my radar. I like the game devs's passion. It's really showing. I can just feel the extra hrs they're pouring into this

You would think after it first 3 times people were force to eat crow, people would learn to stop doubting these developers.
How so?
I'm still interested in seeing how the final game turns out and they did not have an updated build available at the show, but what I've played thus far was not particularly impressive. Need for Speed Rivals looks much more impressive in person, actually, though that demo was running on PC.

The scenery looks phenomenal. All that foliage.
But the outside view is not so good as the car looks a little 'stuck on'. Something is off. Doesn't affect me as I never play with the outside-the-car view anyway, but just struck me as a little jarring compared to how good the rest of the game looks.

That is true but seriously this is next gen I expect to have dynamic lighting, dynamic weather and day night cycles, no pop ups and of course 60 fps. Forza is pretty and runs perfect but it doesnt try to step up.

What do you mean not an updated build? Is not the same as the E3 one, and NFS Rivals is just flash. Stop the car in both games and you soon realize which one is more impressive.

Yes, very distracting imo.

There won't be any weather in DriveClub.
Just day & night options, something we have had in racing games since the PSOne days, it's nice, but not a revolutionary feature.
I thought this was dynamic which is indeed revolutionary.

We had day night cycles ( not options, there's a huge difference between the two) on PS1?
First game I remember having it was F335 Challenge.
And doing that now is insanely more complicated now then back then.
Also no weather is at launch, they'll keep evolving the game.
I'd rather they target 60 fps than weather at this stage.
Dynamic lighting already adds a lot to this game.
