the IQ is so much better this time around, specifically the environments. The back of the car sticks out like soar thumb as an result. And the audio is subpar. Everything is else looks great.

It looks nice, but let's not get carried away - it's not 90% there. There is still a decent amount of aliasing even on track side detail.
Especially noticeable on thin metal structures, wires and when the light reflects on it. Motion blur helps minimize appearance, but it's still there.
Nonetheless, I'm very happy with the improvements, but yeah still doesn't look like the Gamescom replay trailer.
I know. I read the OP and all. The transition still seems to happen in noticable "steps". This is something I notice in a lot of open-world-games with day-night-cycle. Shadows do not move smoothly, but more or less tick away - in a lower "resolution" than the graphics you see. So they seem to jump from state to state. And I very much know that this is they way stuff like this is done. I wanted to express my desire to not be able to notice it that much in normal time-settings. And I am sure, I wont. It is a racing game. I have other stuff to watch out for. But still... stuff like this is kind of a pet peeve of mine. I loved the look of the new sim city, by the way. But I hated the game for doing day-night-transition in several short bursts of sun-movement.
Overall still ecxited about Driveclub. Very much looking forward to play the PS+-Edition and hopefuly It convinces me to upgrade.

yes...and some kind of post processing is missing that makes the trailer just look that extra bit special and more CG-like. Hope they can put in everything in there and lock it 30fps if 60fps is not possible with all the effects.
Of the little screens posted, I can only make out aliasing on the third
That kind of aliasing is always going to exist in games though. You can only get rid of that with the heavier far more resource hogging AA solutions, and to be fair, it's not really worth it. Certainly not really noticeable in the middle of gameplay, especially when there's motion blur as well, and especially when you're playing on a TV screen at normal viewing distances. Flaws are always magnified on computer monitors, laptops etc.

Looks great.
My worry: If they are pushing it to get it to look good without any issues for 1 car on the track, I'm a little skeptical of what it will be like with 8 or 12 (forget what they announced).

I don't think throwing in extra polygons will be all that difficult, it's probably a resource that's easy to account for. I have no doubt the current engine could run 12 cars on track with these graphics.
If their last two Motorstorm games are anything to go by, that part is basically a sure bet.
Rushy - I'd like to say thank you to you and Evolution for your open and honest approach to marketing. It is truly refreshing to see a developer actually replying to criticisms and questions rather than ignoring them. I don't think I've ever seen a developer release a video of early footage and have the balls to list the bugs they know are there. Not only that but you have listened to and directly addressed the requests for footage that everyone here on Gaf craves. This is particularly impressive given that they are almost certainly under immense pressure right now - launch title, flagship PS+ title - everyone who buys a PS4 will get to play it for at least a fortnight. The last couple of months of any game dev process is crunch time - I can't imagine what it is like for them right now! Which makes the fact that they are going to all this trouble to provide direct feed footage regularly even more impressive.
Anyone who thinks the HD footage we have been provided is possible on current-gen tech need their heads checking - it looks stunning and personally if they delivered it in it's current state I am sure it would provide plenty of jaw dropping moments and a lot of fun.
I have a feeling this will turn out to be my favourite launch title - I almost feel guilty that it will be the 'cheap version' because I have PS+. The original Motorstorm was my favourite launch title for the PS3 and I still play on it regularly (as well as the two sequels). Looking forward to it - keep up the good work Evo!

Holy crap, that lighting. This definitely looks to be one of the more realistic looking racers soon to be released. Keep it up, EVO!

I'm definitely loving the trackside detail, man these courses are beautiful. I love when he rounds the corner, and it opens up the view to the ocean. This is what I want to drive in, screw the actual race tracks, they're so bleak by comparison.

This game has come a long way since E3. I knew this would happen, Evolution did the same with Motorstorm, initial gameplay were disappointing but it was almost a different game at launch.

That's a bad comparison. Ridge Racer was a Xbox 360 port, which itself looked bad when it was released.
Compare PGR3 (launch title) to Forza 4 or Grid 2 & the launch game not only holds it's own, but looks better in a lot of ways.
Those are close ups of the cars, what makes you think the vehicle wouldn't be that detailed if we got close to it? Even from the vids and captures you can see huge amounts of detail. Individual LEDs in lights, parking sensors, rivets, brake disks, geometrically modelled car badges et all.
I'm talking about the image quality. It's not there yet.
Looks fantastic.
Is it weird to use cockpit view AND use a wheel too? It's like you're looking at two cockpits
There's a view right in front the steering wheel just for that purpose.

Seems like you are nitpicking.
The overall image quality looks very good in this new video, besides the car (which sticks out like a sore thumb at the moment).
He's not nitpicking. He is commenting on the current gameplay vs the trailers. It's clearly not there.

But this is so not Motorstorm.

Well that was improved. Good to know the other improvements are coming. Definitely looks next gen.

Do you like Forza Horizon or PGR? If the answer is yes, then congrats. If no, move on.

The addition of motion blur and background anti-aliasing makes a massive difference in terms of IQ
Hopefully they can provide a nice solution for the aliasing on the cars, because that's the only thing that glaringly stands out right now.
Looks quite close to the initial trailer.

My thoughts after watching the 1080p download, the whole game looks...OK. I'm not really blown away. In this particular video, the engine audio sounds like complete ass. Maybe it's this particular car but it sounds like he's driving in a tunnel the entire time, both chase cam and dash cam. I'm also not seeing a great graphical jump in visual fidelity that I would expect, I'm not getting that "wow" factor that some of you are. Dynamic lighting is obviously great and welcome, but the car model does not seem any better than GT5 on the previous generation.
Boring track overall, actually, that's probably most of my problem.

That's the first time I've seen it mentioned. I haven't seen any myself either.

Game looks wonderful.
I do have to say, although I know the lighting is great and is technically quite complex, the overall impression of the game doesn't scream next gen to me. It's Evo, so it's gonna be a great racer, but just nothing I've really seen blows me away the way I thought a PS4 game would.
