It got... Better? Does that mean they removed the updating ticks? I noticed in the video the lighting at lest at its accelerated rate, was working on an extremely small but still noticeable, 1-2 second update clock. But man, if they just made everything better? Give us 30 and 60 FPS options xD. I'd always pick 30.Message on their facebook page:

Yes, this would be a good way of promoting the game before it comes out next year. I would also add screenshots of tracks we haven't seen yet. I don't personally want to see every single track before launch but a screenshot or two would be welcome.

Come on Rushy, don't leave us now. People who have been following this game and want to play it still have the desire to do so.
Can Evolution say what they will be working on with the extra time outside of more content or extra polish?
Best of luck but don't stop posting or be timid just because you had to delay it. There's no shame despite the overreactions and hyperbole that happens on GAF as you can see by that bloated thread of concern trolls and drive by trolls among the few who are genuinely disappointed but still anticipating your game.
I see he also had a bundle of joy. Congrats on that

I like to think that, now this game is delayed to next year, it'll end up looking a whole lot better and more presentable come release. Some substantial variety in environments would be nice for a start.

The thing is they haven't shown a lot of their environments. Not in full game play form playable. Not that they would want to show everything and not leave something to surprise.
I think at least the weather will make it in after the delay.

I think the last thing on his mind is posting on neogaf. Respect that.

They better do something for the post processing in this game. It is rather lackluster from what I've seen. Looks much nicer in forza, along with much better paint shaders and softer shadows.
The dynamic lighting is great of course, as well as the geometry of both car and environment.

The post processing in the DC trailers looks spectacular. It adds another depth to the visuals and I hope the final game incorporates them.

A winter 2014 release? I thought it would only be delayed by a few months.I honestly think this game will be delayed an entire year and go full on dark. They have the full hardware, things will get delicious

Yoshida said in the PS Blog post that it was delayed until early 2014.

True. But the delay seems to have been a sudden decision. If they knew they were months away from completion, they would have announced it earlier so that they can cope with the logistics and PR. It implies that they were only days or, at the max, weeks away from getting it done as per the original plan, but couldn't make the cut off date for going gold. Now they have a 3-5 month breathing space, which should definitely allow them to throw in some bonus features/content/visual upgrades that they were planning to release down the line as DLC.

I've been playing catch-up with my PS3 backlog lately, and putting in some quality time with Motorstorm Apocalypse, which never ceases to drop my jaw. Every damn time.I honestly think this game will be delayed an entire year and go full on dark. They have the full hardware, things will get delicious
I say give Evo whatever the hell they want.
And hell, put Apocalypse (or just its multiplayer) on the instant game collection and maybe we can send this generation off with a bang in multiplayer deathraces.

Alas, it has already been in the IGC in EU so won't re-appear. I don't know if the US has ever had it, though.
Don't really see a problem with that considering they are constantly selling it with a <10 price tag in Europe, so you might as well pay for the game.

Launching next winter against the first real next gen games sounds like a terrible idea, friend.

I wonder if they saw low preorder numbers and said to themselves, fuck it, let's spend a few more months to bump up the quality and make a bigger splash later in some early 2014 lull.

I am willing to bet that they will never do something like that again. I am sure that they released the GT5
only because Sony needed something (or anything) on the PS3 to help push sales forward. I am hyped for DC. Arcade racers are my favorite. Real simulation ones are not as fun sometimes.
I feel this way as well. Probably going to try and make it F2P somehow. If it is not the first version of DC, the next version will surely be.

My guess is that (with Infamous launching late Feb) DC launches late January or March.
January seems quite likely if the game just needed an extra few months polish.

I agree with this, April at the latest IMO. Depends on Destiny and titanfall maybe and whatever else is coming out Q1.

gameplay is probably looking closer to the original trailers...if not better.
This is what I want DC to look like since it has been delayed...nothing short of this...Evo you have your time now prove it is worth the wait!!

Nah, it's more like a replay mode with additional post processing effects.
The post processing effects they should be using in gameplay.
Oh god, that still gives me goosebumps. One of the best driving game trailers I've ever experienced.
PS. I think I'm firmly in the camp where I'll actually be disappointed if it's 60fps. I'd rather they add as many graphical touches as possible and keep it at 30 rather than sacrifice *anything* to make it 60. PGR4 did arcade racing perfectly at 30, no reason this couldn't.

Ooooh, I was hoping for some new footage or something.
Btw, I say go for 900p If you can make it look like the E3 trailer.

I'm confident Evo will produce the goods with DC, but I hope they don't go silent until January or similar. Doing so might show a large improvement in the game as opposed to incremental ones, but I don't think DC should be allowed to drop off the map until 2014.
Of course Sony will have their own plans but I hope they don't forget about those of us interested in Drive Club. It's one of the games on PS4 I'm most genuinely excited about playing.

It would be delayed summer 2014 at the absolute most because Sony can't afford to have their first party games competing against themselves in holiday season of 2014. They have the potential of having three or four major releases in holiday season of 2014 as it is now and that's without throwing Drive Club into the mix.

I'd like them to go 900p if it meant 60 fps and decent AA.

I'm glad you're not making the decisions then.
I have written this once in the past, but people did not want to listen back then..
so here's a second time:
The guy who did the videos that had everybody with a boner, is Eamon Urtone.
He is the guy (or one of the guys) that did the very good PGR videos back then.
so, the way he did them videos for PGR, was this:
he took in-game footage, usually with the aid of a dev-free cam and placed the assets as he saw fit.
this footage, he then took to professional editing movie software (and/or h/w), namely the avid tools.
they where never RAW footage. they where raw footage enhanced with movie editing equipment. subtle, thats why effective, but just compare a video replay of pgr 4 to any of those videos he made and you will notice subtle differences in quality.
here's how he describes one of his pgr videos:
and that was done more than SIX years ago.
now, if for the videos of driveclub he used less than what he used for pgr, i dont know. i would guess not though..
