Thanks you all guys
looking forward to it.

Now, where is that chair

Don't take any notice of those guys, there's going to be 1080p videos up late this afternoon.

 

[Nozem]

here, just take them. It's not like they're hiding them. They're terrible quality anyways.

Cheers!

 

[Insane Metal]

Ok these are better, but not HQ by any means... they should still be coming today. Possibly.

 

[bombshell]

there's lots of great things in the source

all you need to do is find the source .mp4
then search for 1920, replace the data-width
then change the data-id

here, just take them. It's not like they're hiding them. They're terrible quality anyways.

These companies really need to create they own portal for new game footage, as youtube and the like do nothing but harm their game's visuals.

Thanks for the links, but as you said they are not exactly stellar quality bitrate.

Is today the day we get the quality videos? lol...

Without a doubt, yes, definitely ...

 

[Parhelion69]

Stay tuned™


But really, we were only told that, so it may not happen today. I certainly hope they do deliver today though...

 

[Always-honest]

Without a doubt, yes, definitely ...

Is it soonday today?

 

[mrklaw]

Is it soonday today?

no, that was a few days ago. Today is when-next-day

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Is it soonday today?

I was right about Watchdogs being 1080p/60fps on the PS4 so there's not reason to doubt I'm right about this too.

Lol.... Soon..

 

[darkwing]

oh soony

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Lol.... Soon..

... I'm fed up.

 

[josecitoxnyo]

So... is today the day? Any twitter updates?

 

[Always-honest]

You haven't seeen the High res. vids yet?

 

[mekes]

Today is always the day, but never for Driveclub.

 

[josecitoxnyo]

You haven't seeen the High res. vids yet?

I´m checking them out atm, less shitty quality for sure but not the best. I guess we´ll wait a little longer.

#Soony

Yeah they're 90% as shitty.

 

[Raist]

Guy, tea time just passed and now it's pub time. I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

[Cthulhu_Steev]

I'll probably be old enough to drive by the time these videos come out, never mind the actual game.

 

[msdstc]

Today is always the day, but never for Driveclub.

They're just planning ahead, that way they don't do anything today.

 

[Betta Lines]

It's still encoding yo

 

[PhantomFear]

Is it soonday today?

No. It's When(?)sday.

Edit: nvrmnd. beaten.

 

[Steiner84]

this is not going to happen, is it?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Soon™
Stay Tuned™
Chasing it up™

What will be next? 10 Internet bucks for whoever guesses correctly.

 

[blastprocessor]

I just saw the IGN footage.

Is the motion blur dithered or is it just bad encoding?

 

[Sami+]

Comparison between youtube and ign version.

I noticed some aliasing in the Gamersyde vids as well. Does the game just have really bad IQ or something? :/

Bit of a cock up on the 1080p front™

[Spongebob]

Two days later and we still have nothing...

I think they're hiding something.

 

[Hendrick's]

Two days later and we still have nothing...

I think they're hiding something.

Compression is the new AA tech.

 

[Tonidayo]

Now i'm excited !

 

[Sidewinder]

Lol, still nothing.

 

[orioto]

Some month ago they implanted a better AA, if i remember well. Did they remove it now ?

 

[GribbleGrunger]

I don't give a damn about a bit of aliasing here and there. When I play a game I don't obsess over small details, I take in the whole experience and absorb subliminally how those small details make me feel ...

So post the frigin' video up already! Forget the guys with magnifying glasses and cater to the gamers.

 

[mangochutney]

It's not nearly as hard as you're making it sound. Assuming they do things properly, the initial capture is done to a lossless format, whether that's DPX, HuffYUV, lossless x264, whatever. This is your master or archive copy.

Then, all they need to do is encode a compressed version at the desired quality setting. I'll even write the commands for them to feed into the free and open source x264 utility:

Retail Blu-ray disc quality and compatibility:

x264 --bluray-compat --bitrate X --preset veryslow --weightp 0 --bframes 3 --nal-hrd vbr --vbv-maxrate 40000 \
    --vbv-bufsize 30000 --level 4.1 --keyint X --b-pyramid strict --slices 4 --fake-interlaced \
    --aud --colorprim "bt709" --transfer "bt709" --colormatrix "bt709" --sar 1:1 \
    --pass 1 -o output.file input.file

Smaller but still high quality and better for web distribution:

x264.exe --level 4.1 --crf 18 --ref 4 --me umh

See? Pretty damn easy.

uwotm8? Never said it was hard or challenging did I...

Just gave a potential reason and thinking behind the tweet that they're tweaking the video. It is of course easy, and they've done it before.

 

[Mascot]

Guys, relax. I've been assured these videos are definitely coming, and not only that - they are coming soon.

 

[raven777]

Guys, relax. I've been assured these videos are definitely coming, and not only that - they are coming soon.

you know how soon? I am going to go sleep but if it's coming within 15 minutes I am willing to wait...

 

[S1kkZ]

Guys, relax. I've been assured these videos are definitely coming, and not only that - they are coming soon.

so, you are saying: stay tuned?

 

[Sidewinder]

Guys, relax. I've been assured these videos are definitely coming, and not only that - they are coming soon.

Already said it once, but we need to quantify "soon". How do we convert soon in days? How many soon units add up to a month? It would be easier for Sony PR to communicate with us, they could just say: "The uncompressed HD video will be cleared for take off in 2.5 soons!"

 

[jett]

Today is always the day, but never for Driveclub.

For Chris Brown, that was the day new Drive Club videos were released, but for me it was just Tuesday.

 

[skyfinch]

And to think that this was scheduled to release last year. Wow what a mess.

 

[darkwing]

if the full game was delayed, what more for the gameplay footage lol

 

[Miles Quaritch]

From the footage far linked to...(slowed down for effect)

I love the lighting so damn much.

I've say it before and I'll say it again: DAYUM I love that projecting tail-light effect.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

If they delay it once more, theyre probably laughing at us!

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Guys, relax. I've been assured these videos are definitely coming, and not only that - they are coming soon.

lol

Right? It's really is very impressive.

Can't wait to see this bad boy in all its 1080p glory in October.

Guys, relax. I've been assured these videos are definitely coming, and not only that - they are coming soon.
