The part that impresses me most isn't even the video (looks nice, yeah), but that nice little explanation accompanying it. It's refreshing to see developer confidence to say "yeah, shit's in the works, but y'all want a preview, here it is, here's what's wrong and yes, we're workin' on it.

I'm pretty okay with this.

 

[Chamber]

No way, that must be ruled by now.

They mentioned 60 fps again yesterday. I would think the game has to be hitting well above 30 for them to still think it's possible.

 

[thuway]

No way, that must be ruled by now.

I just want confirmation thats all. After seeing Shadow Fall somehow make it to 60 FPS, I hope Drive Club has some sort of mode to approximate 60 FPS.

 

[KAL2006]

Hate to be the one that brings it up. So which one wins Forza 5 or Drive Club

 

[uncharted86]

Did anyone notice the shadow 'ticking' across the road as the sun was setting?
It wasn't a gradual smooth transition.

It's about 0.43 seconds into the video.

Probably because they have sped up the time lapse 60x for the purpose of this video.

Currently, Framerate goes to FM5
Everything else goes to Drive Club.

 

[neemmss]

It's a shame that both Driveclub and Forza 5 will have to be rushed for launch. Because both will obviously have to cut some corners for that.

I think there could be some really sick driving games on next-gen if devs are given a lot of time.

GT7 will be your best friend.

 

[PG2G]

The lighting in this game looks great, glad to see the IQ improve

 

[slider]

Just checked out videos of PCars. Wow, it looks stunning. A clear generational leap from GT5 and FM5. Everything looks very clean, great detail on the cockpits and the lighting/shading is bang on.

Wow, love that.

I've never been too sensitive to aliasing, resolution or even framerate. But the sense of inertia and motion in that first video was pretty damn sweet. But I do realise DC is a different type of game and I'm happy with that.

 

[nib95]

Another quick edit to show how without the two tiny areas of aliasing on the rear of the car, the IQ post new AA filter is near perfect. If they just sort out the jaggies on the rear of the car, the game doesn't need to look any cleaner.

 

[Concept17]

Aside from the beauty of what's happening here, I gotta say the driving looks just right for me. Very PGR4ish, which is awesome.

It's definitely sharper, but the one thing a like about this footage is the way G-forces push the drivers head back when he accelerates and the camera reflects that effect perfectly. A must have addition to next gen cars right there.

 

[Steiner84]

i just want to thank rushy for his openness he (and the team and sony) is showing. Its very refreshing and welcome.
Footage looks awesome. The lighting is sick!
get that rear windows Aliasing fixed and stable fps and things are set for me!
very clean, very nice!

 

[Guymelef]

There barely is any aliasing now.

Take this shot, I edited just two sections, the bottom of the rear window and the spoiler edge, notice how after this very quick edit, the entire image looks pretty much aliasing free.

Give me this Evolution, pleaseeeeeee-

 

[MrBud360]

Looking really good, but the enviroments looks boring as hell

 

[painful fart]

They mentioned 60 fps again yesterday. I would think the game has to be hitting well above 30 for them to still think it's possible.

Really? They need to be working 24/7 if they are still considering that a possibility, given the current state of the game.

 

[Fox_Mulder]

Just downloaded the video: mind-blowing!

 

[slider]

Dammit. I loved everything Evolution did on PS3 and had a feeling that I'd be getting this on/around launch. That feeling is snowballing. Dammit! The list of games I want is growing and I'm sure I'll end up spending more than I ever expected to.

 

[bigboss370]

the lighting in this game is still blowing my mind.

 

[panty]

A real shame it most definitely won't be 60fps.

 

[NullPointer]

Currently, Framerate goes to FM5
Everything else goes to Drive Club.

Still interested to see how the AI works in both games though. Curious about Drivatar and whatever DriveClub will have going on.

 

[Iacobellis]

Such a beautiful game. Am I in the minority of preferring eye candy over 60FPS for this?

 

[Raymo]

Well the motion blur covers up some of the few remaining areas. You can see some aliasing on the guard rail through the motion blur. In motion, you notice the aliasing on the foliage a lot more. I'm not saying it looks bad. Just trying to figure out what is going on there. I think it looks great and is a huge improvement from the gamescom build. The lighting in the game is absolutely incredible.

 

[vio]

Nice progress. Much better looking thand gamescom build and track.

 

[btkadams]

A real shame it most definitely won't be 60fps.

it will definitely be a shame, but at least it will be a rock-solid 30fps if it doesn't hit 60.

 

[redblack85]

Rushy answered me again

 

[Cuyejo]

This is close to perfect in terms of IQ, any criticism is nit picking now, realistically speaking you can't expect to have no Aliasing unless you super sample, which isn't going to happen. Sub-pixel and transparencies aliasing (which shows in foliage, rails and back of the car) are the eternal annoyances... Nevertheless congratulations to Evolution, they've come a long way since the Alpha build, I guess it will only get better from now on.

Planetside 2 also does this and it bothers me there too :/

I'd love to see the shadows slowly move like in real life.

 

[Sickbean]

What? Of all the things to criticize you pick the environments? Where would you rather the track was? Along the back of a dragon?

 

[DirtyLarry]

Just love, love the night time driving and cockpit view. So kick ass.

 

[NullPointer]

All the tracks we've seen seem very short. Huge environments, but very quick laps.

Has Evo mentioned anything about track lengths?

 

[Mifune]

Time has been sped up. That's why the shadows don't move slowly.

 

[velociraptor]

I love the post-processing in Project Cars. But despite how good it looks, I'm amazed that Driveclub basically holds up in that night video. Evo simply need to eliminate the aliasing on the car. As of now, the textures, modelling, lighting looks great. Just focus on IQ and framerate.

 

[Ty4on]

They don't move, they jump from position to position. Check 0:45 like the guy I quoted said and look at the shadow on the road.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

Rushy answered me again

Yes! Finally. Hopefully with more than one other car on the track.

I'm positive they will reach damn near perfection. I know there is a lot of nit-picking in this thread but 'perhaps' it will do some good. Rushy must read it and perhaps they're checking to see what would be acceptable and what wouldn't be acceptable. Once they've reduced the moaning to zero, maybe they'll try for 60fps ... you never know!

 

[beast786]

Lol

 

[Finalizer]

Yes.

Also oh god everyone's gonna quote that gif again, mobile am cry

 

[ricardo_sousa11]

1- The environmental shadows dont move smoothly, they "jump" form a place to another.

2- Why doesnt the driver's window doesnt reflect the hands/wheel or the speed pointer, but reflects the speedometer ?

Eitherway, looks good, but still doesnt feel next gen :/

 

[AngryBird]

It's ElTorro's gif lol, so people don't think i made it!

Not sure if serious.

1. Video is sped up to show the day/night transition, hence the shadows 'jumping'

2. Because physics. The light source is not shining on the windscreen. However, the speedometer gives out it's own light and is reflected in the side window.

I guess you can configure to 1x DriveClub... so 24 hours ingame = 24 hours real life.

 

[kuppy]

Yes, it looks amazing, but let's be honest, this change comes way to late. Games like Forza should have done such a transition a long time ago, instead Forza only always wanted to look a bit better, so I would say it is not the importance of the new hardware but much more of the attitude of the developer (PGR4 did this for example also very well a long time ago).

 

[DidntKnowJack]

About time someone brought back the day into night cycle.
