The game looks gorgeous, but it seems I missed the weather footage. Has it been shown in the stream?

 

[bombshell]

Even slight vehicle impacts gives you negative fame points, I like that. Online could be a little less destruction derby. Who am I kidding, it won't change anything in online races.

 

[AndyD]

And 1/1000 chance that thunder will hit a car and make it explode! Don't tell me it's not possible! Fuck Faraday!

Bahaha, one of the best things i've read today.

I don't think it's in their E3 build. They just announced that weather is in today with screenshots.

 

[TrojanBlade]

oh God ...it looks very close to those trailers now...even on the crappy quality and they still have time to polish. The handling looks great too, not too arcadey. And the best part of all, the loading is so quick! I hated that in past gen games.

 

[VanWinkle]

There is something I'm a little bit worried about that I hope I'm wrong on. What if only certain tracks will snow (and it always snows in it) and some have rain (only those and it rains at all times).

 

[Miles Quaritch]

and mud


=========


the lighting, holy shit ;___;

Yes! We need mud similar/better than that in Sega Rally Revo. Man, that game had some stellar mud.

And yes. Lighting is insane on the current track.

 

[Gestault]

October can't come soon enough. This looks incredible. Every little bit of detail contributes to the sense of speed and that lighting just...yes please.

 

[DasRaven]

All I need is the Aventador and Huracán and I'm good until GT7.

 

[Goreomedy]

Oh, to have that demo on my PS4. The load times are practically nothing.

 

[eddfromtheriver]

I wouldn't say bar none. Horizon 2 is a stunning game and I think it will stand up relatively well to any comparisons that are eventually made.

I highly doubt it, not from what i've seen from FH2, i doubt it will stand toe to toe with DC. Let alone surpass it.

 

[SolidSnakex]

All I need is the Aventador and Huracán and I'm good until GT7.

The Aventador was shown in some UI concepts from an Evolution artist, but Rushy told us not to take what we saw in there as final.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Do I spot patches of black ice?

WE IN THERE

Hard to see black ice

 

[Miles Quaritch]

None. This is starting to get a little frustrating. Why release screens when they should be releasing footage.

Ah well, maybe at Gamescom? That's just over two months away if I'm not mistaken..

 

[Simply Sami]

Did rushy just say it is 4vs4 on stream? Because the tracks aren't big enough for 6vs6?

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Just got done watching the Twitch thing.

Very, very impressive.

 

[Beant]

it looked amazing to be honest. deng. wow

Did rushy just say it is 4vs4 on stream? Because the tracks aren't big enough for 6vs6?

no because the booths at e3 were not big enough. all of the gameplay shown had 12 cars on tracks

 

[sankt-Antonio]

Just seen the twich thing, damn... at certain points the game looked fantastic. But i hope they fix their the AA solution.

 

[FireSol]

shit at one moment I thought that I'm watching live race not a game

 

[Red Chocobo]

Can you roll cars over in this?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Snow too? Chet.

 

[bombshell]

There is something I'm a little bit worried about that I hope I'm wrong on. What if only certain tracks will snow (and it always snows in it) and some have rain (only those and it rains at all times).

We've already seen that weather is a controllable option. But I don't think we should expect snow in Chile/India

 

[see5harp]

I highly doubt it, not from what i've seen from FH2, i doubt it will stand toe to toe with DC. Let alone surpass it.

I just watched the livestream on Twitch. I don't think FH2 can beat it purely on visuals alone but I don't think it needs to. I hope there's an audience for both.

 

[3rdamention]

BUT BUT BUT they only delayed the game to work on the menus, I've heard people argue that.



/s

 

[Amused]

Did rushy just say it is 4vs4 on stream? Because the tracks aren't big enough for 6vs6?

Booth at E3 isn't big enough.

Wil be up to 6v6.

 

[meta4]

Holy shit that stream was so good. Why the hell are they not releasing videos with commentary about the game like this? Its so sad that DC is not being marketed as well as it deserves.

 

[MrJustinius]

Great news! Can't wait to see footage of rain-affected races.

 

[wenis]

PUMPED. Destiny looks great, this looks great. My year is backed up with online co-op games until Batman next year. Then it's back to solitary gaming.

 

[Goreomedy]

Did rushy just say it is 4vs4 on stream? Because the tracks aren't big enough for 6vs6?

Wasn't he talking about show-floor space?

 

[mckmas8808]

THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SHOWN IN THE CONFERENCE!

 

[Kane1345]

Did rushy just say it is 4vs4 on stream? Because the tracks aren't big enough for 6vs6?

I thought he said there was no 6 vs 6 because their wasn't enough floor space? to fit in more booths I assume

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Do I spot patches of black ice?

WE IN THERE

Hard to tell really.

I highly doubt it, not from what i've seen from FH2, i doubt it will stand toe to toe with DC. Let alone surpass it.

I don't know, the b-roll footage was pretty stunning. I doubt it'll surpass DC, but I'm not sure so about it not standing up well in comparisons.

Anyway, that's for a later date.

 

[valkillmore]

Great news! Can't wait to see footage of rain-affected races.

I want to see cars struggling to maintain that racing line due to rainslicked roads.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Snow is awesome DC going to be the driving game to beat when it comes to looks , the lighting is amazing adding weather just puts it to another level .

 

[mrklaw]

None. This is starting to get a little frustrating. Why release screens when they should be releasing footage.

Ah well, maybe at Gamescom? That's just over two months away if I'm not mistaken..

Maybe they only just put it in, and didn't thnk it was ready to show moving yet? Perhaps there was a little pressure to release the screenshots due to FH2?

 

[BiGBoSSMk23]

whoooo baby. Gotta wipe off all that swe- err... I mean rain.

 

[eddfromtheriver]

I just watched the livestream on Twitch. I don't think FH2 can beat it purely on visuals alone but I don't think it needs to. I hope there's an audience for both.

True, but for me DC will more than suffice.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

So it snows too! And the whether effects handling!

I want to play this NOW.

 

[ButchCat]

Well sheeeeet!

On second thoughts, I think these are bullshots, they're too clean.

 

[NullPointer]

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Hard to believe that would be the case. They've been talking about weather since it reappeared.

I can believe they maybe felt pressured to release some weather based screens after Horizon 2 though. Playground showcasing the game with weather was an inspired move.

 

[Kleegamefan]

SNOWING CONFIRMED!!


on twitch stream

PGR LIVES

 

[Souldestroyer Reborn]

Snow in a racing game? Wait I mean snow in a fucking jaw dropping my gorgeous racing game?

Holy shit I'm in.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

It will be glorious.

 

[Easy_D]

That's a great reason to delay for, the rain looks great in stills, can't wait to see it in motion.

 

[mrklaw]

I just watched the livestream on Twitch. I don't think FH2 can beat it purely on visuals alone but I don't think it needs to. I hope there's an audience for both.

This is my feeling too. Even with the b-roll, Fh2 looks more basic in the lighting and even the rain - almost makes the roads look too smooth and reflective. DC has a much more natural texture in the road when wet.

As it stands (having only seen video and not heard hands-on impressions), I'm confident that Fh2 will have great handling and be fun to play (based on FH1), but the graphics aren't quite up to DC. For Driveclub, I'm certain it'll be the prettiest racing game we see this year, but I need my fingers crossed on how well the cars will drive, and how much fun it will be to play. While I have faith in Evo, impressions from last year weren't great, so I'm slightly wary.

 

[benzy]

Hard to believe that would be the case. They've been talking about weather since it reappeared.

They haven't been talking about weather at all...

 

[buckeye13]

I highly doubt it, not from what i've seen from FH2, i doubt it will stand toe to toe with DC. Let alone surpass it.

Yep, doubt its even close to be honest.

 

[NullPointer]

It will be glorious.

Oh yes.

Delay super ultra fucking redeemed to forever god damn.

 

[velociraptor]

Holy shit, this looks amazing.

I can't wait until games actually look like photomode shots. These photomode shots look far well and beyond any real time footage (of any racing game).

Guess I'll have to wait for the PS5 for that.
