DRIVECLUB gets actual weather effects, screenshots inside

We'll have a second video up within the hour, this one has to be edited a bit to remove the most offensive driving :)
 
As someone not as familiar with racing as I should be: I noticed that the turns have different color flags on them (green, yellow, red). Do the flag indicate how hard of a turn it is? Are they a static piece of the track or do they change color per player depending on your speed? Thanks.
 
HOLY WHAT. I actually wasn't expecting weather effects for some reason.

Looks unbelievable. The raindrops, wet pavement, mist coming off the tires, mud kicking off the grass. Fuck.

green means floor it
yellow means ease on it
red means break

i assume its a static driving line

Thanks, makes sense. I like the flags better than the actual line on the track because then the game becomes "follow the line" instead of driving (IMO), but I still need the help with knowing how big of a turn is coming up.
 
I'm totally just going to start up a free run/time trial by myself and drive along, stopping to marvel at the environment.

Too bad those backgrounds are used on a driving sim. I'd much rather be driving through those environments than on the track. We need a new motorstorm.

We need bicycle DLC.

I'll pay $4.99 to ride a nice bike in the environments. No engine sound, no hunks of metal. Just me, riding in the wind, and just looking at things.

This one sounds as an amazingly good idea.

Gezuz. DO IT. RUSHY???????
 
pretty awesome in blims vid to watch the shadows chase the car through the hills .. they must have had the day time cycle set to something rapid in that race

Maybe the photomode will be like GT5. Where you can actually walk the entire track on foot with a camera. It was quite fun.
 
I didnt want to get this game because of how long it was delayed, but dam it looks so nice. If the PS+ version impresses, I am probably going to upgrade. It really looks great.
 
Driveclub, the game that's so worth the delay. Smart decision by SCE WWS, just look at the game in it's current state at E3. It's just simply out of this world. Those who call this game to be marginally better looking than an xyz racer need to get their eyes checked.
 
Don't understand why it would need to be a post-release update if theirs already a game build of it running now. They've still got 2-3months.

just take their word for it man.. they always come through at the end. They have some tech wizards over there, I'm sure they have their reasons.

From what I read in the interview, they said it's up and running but they aren't finished with it yet - there's still tweaks to be done in terms of how it affects gameplay. I'd rather they take their time and finish it than ship it halfasses and broken.
