New Driveclub gameplay

Whether the is rubber banding or drafting going on, the AI should not just drive past you on the final straight unless you made a mistake and you weren't going at the optimum speed. Doesn't matter if it is realistic or not, just basic game design to not piss the player off.

Maybe the driver behind used his blue shell.
 
Still looks like automotive sex. Good good.

It's an Evolution racer. There will be rubber-banding, even if they explicitly confirm there's no rubber-banding.

Or the player can I dunno ... block the dude behind him?

Who just lets someone pass them in a racing game?

If the AI driver got out of the last corner faster than you did, you apparently did a mistake.
 
I've seen this TV comparison a bit too often in this thread - has this not been explained adequately yet?

Thrakier was speaking specifically about 60fps as it relates to visual movement, not interactivity, so the TV comparison is more appropriate than you give it credit for.

I love how oblivious you are to how insane your comment is considering we're talking about a RACING GAME.

Honestly I chuckled IRL at this.

People will manage to be good at this game despite the limitations of 30fps. You might say the differences in most people's ability to play well will be insignificant.

This is what I'm worried about. Although the EGX demo was pretty good, it was probably on a low difficulty setting

Oh sure that would be fine
 
So day 1 embargo confirmed. I really loathe day 1 embargoes. Coming off destiny, release/post release embargoes do not inspire confidence. It's only weirder considering people have the review copies and have had them for some time.
 
well, the good news for you publicpwnerer, is that about a month after driveclub is out and the main bulk is sold,
we will start getting news about what polyphony has been doing.
they keep radio silence now, but hell, all of you must undestand that they've been working on this ...straight architechture ps4 offers, and not the fucked-up shit that ps3 h/w was.
so.... you know you are going to get happy, and I can almost bet that GT news will surface around christmas.

I'm looking forward to this almost as much as DC. I wonder if the DC delay affected their communications plans, or maybe they wouldn't have anything to talk about until now anyway and it has actually been helpful.

Wonder if we'll get forza and GT head to head next year?
 
Is there a star per race in the campaign? 225 races? If each race is ~3 minutes that's still 10 hours. Might be short by racing game standards...
I think from footage we've seen there are also multiple objectives to each event.

That was... quick... :/
People have been earning the easiest trophy since the 10th September, so it is possible these are reviewers, certainly some are as they have their website in their tagline, so it has been in their hands for a while.
 
You can see how the shadow/reflection bugs out a the end there. Breaks what is otherwise an incredible illusion. Man, what a good looking game.
It looks like the car's passing over a (more reflective) puddle when the reflection gets clearer.
 
Blog-Moteur has already completed the solo mode. Says full review up in a few days.

You have to assume he liked the game if went so far as to complete every single event.

Just trying to get an idea here, is it multiple stars per race then? And you might get 1 star for 1st place but retry it for the other stars?

*actually don't know how the gameplay works*

Are people not going to download the PS+ version until the reviews come out or something?

Some tours have one race with a few challenges (stars) like *win race *hit top speed higher than 170kph *complete clean lap.

Other tours have multiple races with challenges too.
 
I'm going to assume you simply spend less time in Horizon 2 threads then (which would make sense if you're less interested in that game)... because the exact same poster is in them preaching the same shit:

I'm always kinda surprised that, when I voice my opinion, it's all "bullshit" and I'm supposed to shut my mouth and someone should ban me and I'm a fucking troll and "preaching shit", albeit I have perfectly valid arguments. In the favor of the medium, at least that's how I see it.

And then someone posts a tiny gif, downsampled x100 where you see a 3 second scene over and over again and it looks great, it's perfectly fine to post the same "WOW AMAZING LIGHTING", "*drools*", "I have to masterbate now" post again and again....that is fine. Everyone likes it.

Just get the Plus version until reviews and impressions by Gamers come out. Then decide if you want to buy.

It's because you look like a one-trick pony. I'm sure you post about a lot of other things, but those posts are probably fairly mundane. Your insistence on wading into threads about 30FPS games and then lamenting the future you thought you'd get is far more noticeable. It essentially boils down to all your most 'bombastic' posts being on the same subject.

Same reason that I get a ton of shit for loving the Vita, even though there are cats on here far more blatant and blinkered about their love for certain companies.

Because it's actually perfectly natural for someone to write something positive about a game they're interested in or hyped for, as opposed to someone who objects to what they see, and chooses to remind everyone of it. Not that there's anything wrong with stating your reservations about something, but when you do it over and over again, repeating the same fucking shit over and over, you come across as nothing but a troll.

Please. Are you still here? Keep moving.

Let us enjoy talking and watching footage from this amazing game.

Its like a parent coming over into your brand new house and saying that negative comment you already knew was coming.

You know its coming. You know what they are going to say, but it still annoys the shit out of you when it is said.

There is little balance. There isn't ... praise for this or that and then a small little jab at the framerate. Nah its 10 posts in a row talking about how framerate is the key to great games. Neglecting all the GOTY's and GOTG's and such that are 30fps of course. Or less even.

Its like poking someone in the same spot. At first its no big deal. Not a problem. But after the 20th poke, it starts to hurt. Then it starts to hurt a f'in lot after the 40th poke.
 
Its awesome I can enjoy this basically day one. I bought my PS4 to play this game essentially, at least for the next 3-6 months.. Yeah I have other games too, but Evo have successively killed it with the GOTG Motorstorm series. Love the racing, and the AI- I beat PR festival twice. They are my favorite studio as of 2008.

Hats off to you, man. A handful of the later festival events in PR are stupidly hard thanks to the AI. That last eliminator event on Sugar Rush took me a couple of hours to beat, and even then it was mainly luck -- the second place guy must have randomly crashed somewhere when our routes diverged because I went from 2nd to 1st just a few seconds before the clock ran out. No desire to do that again.

I've watched so many F1 and WRC rounds on TV at 30 or (gasp) even 25fps! I never realised that it was so unrealistic to watch anything at those framerates, I guess everything I've seen bears no resemblance at all to what actually happens in real life.

Thrakier was speaking specifically about 60fps as it relates to visual movement, not interactivity, so the TV comparison is more appropriate than you give it credit for.
Exactly what I was going for.

I've seen plenty of videos of F1 drivers racing each other for shits and giggles using a console whilst playing F1 2010-13 (or whatever). All have been 30fps, didn't see any of them complaining about how bad it handled because of the framerate (or if it "felt slow"). But GAFfers are obviously in the right on this one.

You can ignore him. It's a great feature and I use it a lot. You'll be surprised how well it works because trolling behaviour is very repetitive and predictable.
 
It's the old one.

Not only that, but it's the most annoyingly designed site I've had the pleasure of using in quite some time. "Need to use the scroll bar? Fuck you."

This reminds me, I gotta go masturbate.

Hmm but you only care about games that are 60fps so it's not like you will be will suddenly be praising this game for it's graphics when it's still 30fps and has been confirmed to be such for 6+ months yet here you are still magically interested.

There's a limit to how many times someone needs to voice the exact same opinion in every thread for every racer that isn't 60fps (I'm not sure where this limit is exactly... I just know it's a long way before where you're at now). You really don't need to state it anymore. you've done it enough that even without your post, my mind would fill in the blanks on what your post would have been every time I see a 30fps racer being discussed.

Maybe you should just make a "30fps sucks" thread where you can go wild and vent all your frustrations, calling out every game in one go. I also don't like seeing one gif, only to have it quoted a million times with only "OMFG! So pretty!" accompanying it, however at least these posts are relevant to the topic at had, rather than trying to change the topic in every thread to "lol 30fps".
 
Thrakier, we know you're not going to buy the game.

Stop wasting your time harping on framerate in a thread of game which you have no interest in.

Yeah, everyone who's going to buy this or FH2 is part of the problem, we should all boycott 30fps games. The industry needs to move forward, PC Maser Race, all that. Ok fine, point taken.


Hey, there's pCARS threads wide open for discussion, one about 1080p, 60fps on console going on right now.

Or are you going to grumble about that game even releasing on inferior consoles?
