New Driveclub gameplay

Have you got a PC setting on your TV? If you have, try that.

edit: What the hell! LOL. Who moderated my ASS!?

Uhmmm... I have it set to dynamic mode. Its a Samsung monitor. It darkens the picture a bit with the high contrast but I have it set up so it balances out with other picture/brightness settings.

No problem, I can do that for you. I just sent you a pm.

I replied . Wanna make sure its safe to come out of online blackout first lol

You've got mail :)
 
Yeah NP. It's a really sleek hardcore arcade hybrid. It feels like a throwback in a way. Like I haven't played a racing game this tightly focused in a while.

Having played a few more races, the minor jaggies disappear when you start to take in just how fucking high fidelity everything is.

The motion blur is stellar, the LOD is phenomenal, the lighting is by far the best I've seen this side of PS4 and the sound is delicious. It all comes together really well. Evo's effort really shows.

I wanna do my best to dissuade any concerns I might have raised with the jaggies comment, because a lot of you will find it negligible at worst in contrast with the rest of it.

Basically, it's fucking sweet. Happy I bought.

What about Hybrid OST?
We haven't heard nothing but engine sounds.

Haha. Update file just popped up. XD

We can do before and after shots.

Oh DUDE that's who it is????

No wonder it's fucking badass. Yeah absutely, the menu music and race stuff is great, real moody bass thumping tunes.

Glad you're enjoying it Rapier. Hopefully I can enjoy it too since racers don't really appeal to me that much any more. I will try the demo, however, and maybe it will push me to get the game.

Is it fun playing offline?
 
Doesn't this game come out next week Tuesday? Anyone going to make an OT for it or are we just assuming it will turn badly? Also, I wish the digital edition would release early...

Yeah. Its due in part to it being so accessible and tightly designed. Event set up reminds me a tiny bit of Motorstorm... but that's just cause I got a raging boner for everything Evolution so lol

edit:
Alright. The OST in this game is rad.

The piano melodies with the synth sounds and the vocals and deep wub wubs are really jiving with me.

Ear sex with my Sennheisers.
 
I'm psyched for this game . Also aliens isolation looks nice too . This may be a bad month for meh walllet :(

EDIT : do we know the review embargo for this ? I think 7th was floating around ?
 
Hey Rapier,

So, if there are jaggies, where do the gifs come from? Is it just down to certain cars? Are there some areas/cars where the gifs are representative of the final game?

Also, yeah, how is the offline play? I mean, the career mode has a nice variety? Are the main modes race, time trial, and drift challenges?

Are there offline faceoff challenges against A.I? We know they exist in MP, but are there faceoff challenges for offline?

Also, I noticed that the single player has final "events" for each stage of the career mode... Are these events GP races? Are they single races? I am a bit confused about that.

Also, I havent been following, but are there more point to point tracks over lap tracks (closed circuit)?
If so, are the final events circuits or what? I was having trouble discerning that from the stream that went live a week or so ago

My only concern about the game is it's handling. If the cars handle close to NFS: HP (2010) or NFS: MW(2012) or NFS:Rivals (2013) with the controller then I'm sold. I have enjoyed all three Motorstorm games for their gameplay and how the vehicles handled. Is Driveclub fun to play with the controller?

it wont be so easy to drive without braking or drifting through every corner

When i hit the brakes while taking a corner, do the cars start drifting rightaway? We all have fun in our own way with each game and I had the most fun out of braking and drifting in the NFS games that I mentioned in my previous post!

Nice to know that it reminds you of Motorstorm. I really enjoyed the first two, but by PR I was losing interest in racers altogether. I missed Apocalypse.

Trying their take on road cars with great environmets and what appears to be tighly designed tracks, will be cool. Hopefully I can get on the Evolution train again. :)

Now, a new Motorstorm on PS4 will really help a lot with that....
 
I'd hate to shit on some people's parades here but I can confirm that the IQ is not nearly as god like as some gifs would have you believe.

There's jaggies everywhere.

From the cars to the railings in the background while you choose your livery.

The game is ace though. Plays wonderfully.

So first you say they're everywhere and now you're saying just minor ones. I mean there could be an update at launch, most likely will be.

Just why even stir the pot without pics. We've seen direct feed gameplay not too long ago and there was barely any, if none at all.
 
I wish I could upload the menu music for this. Really fucking good. I can't stress it enough.

Gotta ask for it with your money man. I'm doing my part. :P

But no really this game deserves support.

^ Lol.. I knew that Ambrose gif would come this side eventually

I dont know if I should scrounge the net for OST leaks, or just go on a media blackout and just wait for the actual experience.


Also, Antigua as the DLC location would be really great. Just the perfect compliment to the rest of the locations, and one that would need representation. Seriously, the locations Evo picked have been absolutely top of the game.

There is such a nice visual and artistic variety, with colors coming from all shades.

I cannot wait for the eventual timelapse gifs.


Edit: Found the Menu theme... the piano part is pretty sweet.

Wait for the pics so you can see what I mean.

I'm already uploading pics. They should be pretty visible on a screenshot, while moving it's harder to spot them, at least for me.
 
Thanks :)

Here they come, I'll edit this post and add them all.

These are no beauty shots, just straight shots to show dem jaggies etc.
Also muchos gracias rapier for taking the time, I just uploaded them.

And the AF mystery continues...
 
I'm concerned about the lack of MP3 support as well. It makes a massive difference to my racing experience - loved it in PS3 Wipeout, for example.
Perfect example. I know Wipeout has great music, but sometimes I just like to put my own stuff on. Same goes for pretty much any racing game ever.

Less than a week now. You can do this, Jesse.

 
It's not just the aliasing. LOD and AF seem really funky and I'm not sure if it's lighting downgrade or just different lighting conditions...
 
This is horrible, can't believe it's a representation of the final build.

Yup, same here. I wanted to be wrong, but I didn't think I would be.

I'm actually completely unfazed by the aliasing, since it's 100% subpixel which is notoriously a bitch to get rid off.

But those trees in that last pic... That's gotta be a LOD fail or loading textures.

Most of them were taken while the camera is moving or the car is moving, so motion blur in a single frame looks mostly like this afaik.

But their uniform color makes me think it can't be just blur.

Anyway, I look forward to video captures of this as soon as someone with the means to do it gets their hands on it.
