Are you talking multiplayer events? Because single player events and challenges are crazy quick to drop back to the menu, change things and jump back in. At least I can't think of a single other racing game that gets anywhere even near the ballpark of DC's quick load times and transitions.
Nope. Replay mode is one thing, and photo mode another one. I want both!

Sanity prevails! That was always a stupid situation, nice to see they fixed it up eventually (even if it was really only relevant while the servers where down which isn't an issue now lol).
I had some reservations about the 30fps, but the game really controls very well. AFAIK, the simulation runs at a higher framerate than the graphics.

lol I don't even play racing games but that's hilarious and makes me want to try this out

Yeah the controls are incredibly responsive.
If you told me that's a video from real life, I'd believe you.

Beautiful.
Can anyone confirm the aliasing fix?
There is a very noticeable difference.

The weather masks it I think. Someone in here said there's no aliasing improvement. Someone said there is.
We need screenshots of India on sunny day pls
Can you all just stop with the weather for a minute and upload some?

A few shots that got sent through the Facebook mangle machine:
Think I had a little prang

I have been playing the career without weather and there is definitely a difference that I'm seeing.

Ive said it previously in this thread but this feels like a whole new game with this patch. Dynamic weather challenges are crazily addictive. Also driven over 1000 miles on the kyle alone (I like that track)

Many of us enjoy the immersion. It is a bit restricting in vision but it's a more authentic racing experience. Once you get used to it, it's just as usable as any other camera view.

You get accustomed to the vision restrictions once you use it enough.For immersion basically. It actually helps a bit with the weather also because you actually have windscreen wipers. Too bad the audio sounds way too muted in that view.
Yeah, I always use the front cam without obstructions. I only used the cockpit view in the night/snow for the lulz and increased challenge.
oh I agree, it's one of the best pure racing experiences I've played in probably half a decade or more. It cannot be overstated just how great Driveclub is as a racing product; it's sublime.
I just am a graphics whore and my brain is swimming imagining all these graphics @ 60fps. One day, Ps5 remaster *swoon*
Like what some people believed with the previous game update, but direct comparison in fact showed no noticeable change.
It's just a matter of lighting conditions, from what I can tell.

So I heard EVO was giving away free DLC.
Which ones, if any, are they giving away? I just bought the game

Immersion and feedback. Hands on the steering wheel gives me a better sense of the way the wheels are pointing and how much I'm pushing on my inputs (controller user here), subtle camera shifts give a great sense of speed and the forces at work on the car, and I actually dig looking at the car's actual dash to see speed and revs.
If I used a wheel I'd use a different in-game view though.

Agreed. The aliasing is also terribly distracting during daytime. I don't notice it that much when I'm racing but from time to time I just think "God damn how nice would this look with proper AA and AF"
All tracks are free, they gave away one tour pack as well.
You should get free access to the previous month's DLCs, Ignition and Photo Finish packs.

Honestly, when I'm racing seriously in this game its always the farthest 'behind the car' view. I only used the cockpit view for effect in my video, I thought it would make it look a bit more realistic.
But yeah, using the wayback camera gives you so much more peripheral vision.

Style over substance?
While I hate the word "immersion" in video games, I fucking love cockpit view for the immersion.

Are we handpicking reviews to justify our own views on the game?
OK

It affects handling and visibility so no. It's style and substance.

Now I'm tempted to buy this game, thanks for nothing.
Seriously though, I just got blown away by The Order then Uncharted and now this, stahp it Sony!
Because it's so cool when you crash your car.

Not at all. The game is, at its core, one of the best racing experiences on any platform.
That said, I mostly take part in drift mode to remain at the top of the leader board and drift challenges from other clubs. (I'm currently leading a club drift challenge on Chile in the Marussia). Racing in racing games doesn't do a lot for me, but I will redo the same stretch of track for hours.
Once again for fence sitters: DriveClub is legitimately amazing. It is a PURE racing game in the truest sense of the word, skill vs. skill with incredible racing mechanics/simulation.
If you miss the days when you could just test your pure skill on the racing tarmac without having to worry you have the wrong upgrade or whatever, this is the game for you.

Oh shit that looked awesome when the two cars raced in front of your headlights though.

yup, gotta memorize the brake points
I like the Marussia drift event but the scoring for drift is broken and so are the score on the leaderboard. I just can't be happy with myself if I cheese my way like the top ghost.
