Not the first. And more than one ex-Bizarre employee works at/with Evo, namely the guy who project-led PGR4 (Ged Talbot) and another who did all their video editing (Eamon Urtone). The latter is the most obvious, in that majority of their promo videos have near-identical editing techniques to the PGR and Blur videos.
Try searching YouTube with ''E3, Simpit, Driveclub' as your terms.
You can see a rainbow in the FH2 video indicating there is some sunlight to the weather in the area. The DC video shows part of the sky not cloudy but it's darker and not "Rainbow" weather.
It doesn't necessarily excuse how the cars look for instance, but they do appear to be different weather patterns. Hence the big difference in overall "brightness" of the scene.
Colors do actually "pop" kind of crazy in weather like that. I drive through it all the time.

LOL!!
When did this "stylish" excuse even start? If the developer is saying they were gunning
for something realistic, then why are folks claiming otherwise?
Fucking brilliant.
Because it doesn't look nearly as good as Driveclub. Honestly, I think FH2 will be so fun, and it looks really nice considering, but it doesn't look close to DC graphically and some people are saying it goes for a more stylized approach to alleviate those comparisons.

It's supposed to be in the middle ground between arcade and sim. Should be really nice.

loool
Am I the only one who hate racing games that does that? It's pretty much the norm nowadays since I think Forza 3?
If you play with a steering wheel it's THE WORST. You are forced to do a race before you have a chance to setup your controls and setup your driving aids. It's basically just a waste of time going around the track with a pad and all the aids on until you can finally get to the menu.

Evo claims it's right in between. People who played the game have pretty varied opinions on which side it leans. The only general consensus after this E3 is that it feels good. I think the only way to judge is to try for yourself.
Pretty good comparison. Crazy how much of a difference there is between these games graphically and in terms of realism. I also feel that in terms of visual vehicle handling feedback, camera response etc, DriveClub looks slightly better, and has a greater sense of speed.
Yeah but, those Jaggie power lines though :/true, they should also throw in a random meteor strike.
that's what I call "weather."

I went ahead and asked Rushy about it. Let's see if we can find out what the answer is before concluding how it will work.

I love it
That is unless they let you change those things in the options on the fly.
Impressive, both games look damn good. Horizon seems to be a lot more colorful while DC aims to be realistic with it's effects. Until I play both games, can't say one is better than the other yet.

Did I miss this? Best burn I've read in a while, sir.
And now I can shut down that false talking point if I ever see it again.

I need a new wheel. Or perhaps my older Logitech will work. But I need a wheel for this game. Just looks so damn good.
I too want a new wheel, problem is, I don't know of one that works with both the PS4 and Xbox One.

I actually had to bite the bullet last gen and purchase two wheels. Would absolutely LOVE if that is not the case, but not holding my breath. The good news is the PS wheels also usually are compatible with PC so that's at least a positive, at least for myself as I also own a gaming PC.
Unfortunately I do not think we will ever see a wheel compatible with both consoles, but perhaps I will be pleasantly surprised.

Your best bet will be a Fanatec wheel.
With that said, there's a rumor from the GT6 thread that the kings, Logitech, are returning to making racing wheels. They won't be cross compatible, but it'll be great if they do end up making wheels again. It'd also almost certainly mean that those DFGT/G25/G27 drivers many of us have been hoping for are going to happen.
Not surprised at the comparisons in here. It's all a bit ridiculous, like comparing The Last of Us to GTA V in terms of graphical fidelity. One is open world where you can drive through fields and forests, the other is a closed track racer. Obviously Driveclub is going to look better, it fits the genre it's in: Intense, fast, gritty racing. FH2 is fitting a different niche, it's a bit sad to see some people (read: some) people shitting on it's graphics because it isn't the best looking game on consoles. (which Driveclub is)
I really wish graphics comparisons in racing games would die off, it's tiresome. Can't wait for both, and I still really can't believe how Driveclub looks. Had to rematch the videos multiple times for it all to really sink in.

Hope so. I bought a G27 for my PS4 before Logitech killed their peripheral support =(
Flawed comparison.
Despite taking place on closed tracks, DriveClub is still rendering massive environments.
The only wheels available for current gen are thrustmaster wheels. The TX for XB1 and the T300 for PS4. Both work on PC but none of them work with the other platform.
They are essentially the same wheel working with all the same accessories.
They are blocking the cross compatibily in the software basically.
I have a TX on the way and I hope somebody will hack up some kind of hybrid firmware someday.

There's also the T500RS, which is compatible with the PS3, PS4, and PC.
True...if you can find one. They are pretty much out of stock everywhere. Pretty sure Thrustmaster has stopped production.
What pisses me off with the PS4 is that there will never be an "Official PS4 wheel" since there is no system level support for wheels. The game itself has to support it so the compatibily will always be on a game to game basis.

Not necessarily. As much as these are being rendered in real time and are incredibly impressive, having you drive on it and interact with it makes it far more complex. It's the difference between a realtime tech demo and an actual interactive game. There will need to be trade offs to achieve the latter. Rendering a massive area is not the same as doing it in an open world game. It isn't a fair comparison.
What makes you think there will never be one? It's still the first year and the PS4 hasn't even had it's first big racing game come out for there to be enough demand for system level compatibility. Wait till GT7 before writing it off entirely.
Sure, in theory anything is possible. Having system level support however would mean that Sony would have to pay for licensing which I doubt will happen. They prefer to leave it to wheel manufacturers to deal with each developpers instead.

What about the PS3? How was it implemented there? (Not a rhetorical question. I don't know the answer)
There was licensing deals with the manufacturers and with Immersion (the company responsible for the vibration/ffb) that allowed system level support of the wheels.

Listen Logitech/Soony... Pull it together. My G27 best be compatiblele come October... Lest I pay for another expensive wheel (which will bring both a frown and a smile to my face).

Oh. But you think it won't happen again? What has changed?
Sorry for all the questions. I'm not well informed on the subject and I'm curious to understand why there is so much negativity around the topic (other than the fact that logitech kinda-sorta-closed-shop-but-maybe-not)

I was under the impression Logitech was in the process of exiting the wheel peripheral market... and as a result no longer updating firmware for their existing devices.
Hopefully I am wrong.

Yeah I'm aware of that, but Megasoum feels there will be no PS4 system level support from anyone. Trying to understand why.
Yeah I'm a little lost. I think everyone is just frustrated that the manufactures are all being very cagey about their plans for the new consoles
