I just did a race in India, clear 12:00PM TOD. Yeah, I'm not crazy, trees look more defined, and they even drop leaves, there's single baloons floating around, it looks noticeably better. I'll upload a couple shots in a minute.

I just watched this 4 times in a row.
Going to buy a PS4 in 2015.
My last console was a PS2 (I'm a PC gamer) and I played so many hours of Gran Turismo 4.
DC and GT7 will be soo good.

I don't want Gran Turismo 7 to lose its "Gran Turismoness" in regards to some of its weirder shit, but Evolution has clearly set the bar for current gen racing with Driveclub.
Most specifically and obviously the visuals/weather, but even down to things like the snappy menu and fast load times. Loading in GT6 is painfullllll

60fps isn't really high enough either, but perhaps they can make it work. A cut down version as a showcase is possible, but I doubt the hardware is anywhere near ready, much like the Rift. By the time it arrives, DriveClub will be old news. I would be very surprised if they do it. Gran Turismo is the more suitable candidate, as it would have always been developed aiming for 60fps, and I imagine it is being developed as one of the primary Morpheus titles, considering how much of a perfect match driving sims are for VR.

Sweet baby jesus. The fog really makes it seem like the air is dense with water.
Nice video.

HYPE!
If I don't notice a difference tonight... I am coming for you Facundo
LOL! I hope you do.
I'm being mindblowed left and right after this patch. The amount of particle effects with or without rain/snow weather is amazing.

I can't remember the last time I was this impressed by the overall visual presentation of a game. This is taking me back to Gears of War 1 status legit shook right now. Cockpit view in the rain with some of the unique, dynamic lighting situations you find yourself in just looks astounding, particularly when there are lots of light sources on screen from the cars to the streetlights.
Bravo, Evo. Ridiculous talent on display.
The track designs are A+++ as well. Keep pumping those out as long as you can.

Happy to see that some of the game's achievements are finally being recognized. Considering how much it has changed I'd love to see some outlets re-review it, as has been done with other titles.
Wait, the water in the windshield reacts to changes in direction and speed? This is the most inpressive think i've seen on current gen systems so far. I'm not joking, i've never seen water react like that in a game, let alone one that looks as good as this.
I'm getting this asap.
This. Anything that claims to be snow doesn't look like it at all. I thought there was supposed to be piles of it on sides of the road in heavy settings

I traded Driveclub in a few weeks ago... Bought it again the other day when I heard it was all fixed up. What a difference a working game makes. It's incredible. All the challenges are seamless and now the weather... Good gat dayum.
I always try to tell people racing in this game feels like you are on a roller coaster. Just at the start line, I get excited because it's about to get crazy haha.
Benzy, you have some great videos on youtube.

Not played this in nearly a month or so.
Looks like I'm jumping back in!
Is there a massive difference in this game for using a wheel over a controller?
I generally find F1 games to be night and day when using a Wheel...
Oh and I want an F1 game in evolutions engine.

I still can't find any only lobby with precipitation ON, Am I alone?
its been like that all day.. They haven't added it to online matches yet....you will see lightning in the background in some clouds fro races that have lightning setting.

I've been seeing a lot of info here about using PC mode on your TV to play games. I have a Sony TV with a Game mode and I use it to reduce the input lag. Is PC mode only a Samsung feature or should I be looking for something on my Sony TV as well?

Thanks!

It plays quite well with a controller but I do find it significantly more enjoyable with a wheel. Much easier to "feel" the track and your car.
I have a Sony Bravia, Game mode is essentially PC mode in terms of what you are asking about (input lag).

Does this update also change the handling for different weather conditions? Do cars slip more due to wet roads etc?

Its okay you can address me directly I'm not royalty. And I'm entitled to my opinion just as much as you are.
The effect looks stupid and obscures the view. I've been driving here in the UK over 20 years, it rains a lot. Thankfully though we can get around just fine without 90s star field screensavers obscuring the windscreen.

Holy baby jesus, talk about the most impressive looking weather effects of any game Hands fucking down. Shit, watching these video's i had a smile on my face the whole time. This right here is the welcome we deserve into Next gen, it only took a year but we made it baby.

Driveclub-GAF is the one you want to add on PSN.
Not sure if it's still actively accepting friend requests. Who runs it, Viveks?
yup, slippery when wet

Yes, it changes the complete gameplay a lot.
Lol awesomeThanks guys. I wanna do a clean lap/race with high speed in the blizzard at night in Norway, but that's proving to be really difficult and challenging. lol

Will the Elements tour mode be up very soon? Anyone know?
Honestly, this is like DriveClub : Extreme Weather Expansion pack. It's almost a new game to me.

Sounds good....too bad I am so bad at racers with a controller...I tried the demo at BB and could not do turns without crashing every time. I really want to buy and play this game but since I don't have a wheel, I am hesitating. Any pointers how to play this game with a controller and not suck?
The weather is awesome and everything but if there's one thing I don't like its that hitting puddles in the road makes absolutely no (noticeable) difference in handling or braking. There's no hydroplaning or anything at all. I wish it was more Sim in that respect, it seems like they just said "OK, in the rain make the cars slightly less grippy in turns." And adjusted a slider or something.

Brake early, don't use throttle until your round the corner(s).
Practise makes perfect so try a few time trials with different cars

I can't believe what I'm seeing GAF. 
This game looks insane now with the weather update.
The new Gamersyde footage man, this is best looking looking race game ever made. Wow.
The king (PGR 4) is finally dethroned when it comes to weather effects.
I will order this game now, can't resist the eye candy.

Norway Atlanterhavsvegen, midnight, heavy precipitation (blizzard), stormy skies, no HUD, cockpit camera.
Nightmare fuel.
I couldn't see anything in front of me at times, had to rely on the lighting from the lightning to see how the track was changing up ahead.

With practice the game eventually feels real good with a controller. you just need to give it some time. I would say a day of racing will do it. Once you get it the handling is superb.
