Nah, it's FukuDaruma FukuDaruma & @carsar the real GOATs!
Outside the first one all the others are from photomode where its enhanced and you keep posting those small gifs with all the rain. Why not post some real gameplay screenshots. Do you really believe that Driveclub looks better?
 
Does Driveclub still look amazing when it's not raining? All of the videos I've seen meant to show off the graphics have it raining.


I mean just the fact that you still think it looks amazing in any condition is a testament. It's running on complete shit 2013 hardware, arguably that CPU is 2010 tier. I honestly think the Norway tracks look better. Far better than the rain.
 
The non-rain GIFs posted are completely demolishing the people saying it only looks good in the rain. It arguably looks better outside the rain with that lighting system. There are tracks you can cherry pic for ugly screens, but overall holy fucking shit that game is a looker. If it was released today after cleaning up a few areas with bad textures and 4k 60fps people would be saying it's the holy grail no question.
 
Drive club fans are desperate to try and keep their dead game relevant.
Just accept that drive club wasn't good and is dead and buried :p

Plus I swear I see the exact same rain gif every single time too.... XD

Anyone using gifs to make an argument has no business in this thread. It's false representation, it masks all the ways in which it falters.
 
The PS360 era was not a good one for people who appreciate framerates. MotorStorm ran at like 15-20 fps, DriveClub at 30 fps. Racing games that aren't 60 fps are a sin against humanity. Evolution Studios never figured that out, so their death was already preordained.
 
I'd actually love that.

Thelastword must have got in on an alt account eh
Bruh i almost forgot that guy, sheesh :messenger_tears_of_joy: . But you right, i get the same vibes now said it. But atleast he put some time and effort in his trolling with his super long text.
 
What graphics engine did drive club use and could EA/codemasters get the developers to do something similar graphics wise?
It used it's own, though I believe it was influenced by work on Motorstorm. Also, Onrush used a version of the engine which was then translated over to Dirt 5 which is very noticeable while playing that game.

I disagree when it comes to good quality GIFs. You can definitely get a good representation. However, to an extent, I agree because DC looks even better than those GIFs can show. You can also cherry-pick a game to death with dozens of bad screens too but it doesn't mean the majority of the product either.

The lighting is really nice in Drive Club and the car materials/color grading look natural and "real". But the rest of the game breaks down pretty quickly (other than rain/weather). Environments and water and all that are not great. Nothing you pay much attention to while driving, but still. Horizon is the king imo. DC still looks nice.
 
this thread is an obvious troll/fanboy bait thread
Some people consider Cuphead the best looking game of all time. I won't call them trolls/fanboys. Looks are subjective. Why do you label people trolls/fanboys for stating their opinion on a subjective matter.
 
Was tempeted to create a "Just played Pacman maxed out at 4k on a 3080" (and it looks better than Uncharted 4).
But lets not get a ban. Not today at least lol.
 
Tell me you are a Sony fanboy without telling me you are a Sony fanboy. Also if Driveclub was so good. Maybe Sony would have not abandoned it. Also, Gran Turismo is far better when it comes to racing games from Sony.
 
Does Driveclub have something as basic as aquaplaning? Every video/gif I've seen of cars/bikes driving in the rain they seemed to handle like go-karts on dry tarmac

Do you have actual screenshots of the game in 1080p or just these post-processed mini-gifs?

I played Driveclub on a projector, and it didn't impress me at all even compared to Forza Horizon 2.
Forza Horizon 2 on the other hand is still the GOAT racing game for me.
Of course it didn't. You played on the shittiest setup possible.
 
I was very disappointed by Horizon 4 when I tried it a few months ago, for me it really didn't look as good as Horizon 3.
It might look more impressive in trailers and all, but when you really play it, you can notice a lot of issues that make it look a lot less clean than Horizon 3.

Horizon 4 is for some reason VERY aliased, I mean that's probably less of a problem in 4K, but in 1440 or 1080p it's full of aliasing to the point where every lines is shimmering, it looked like anti aliasing was not doing anything at all.
The draw distance and texture detail is also really not as good as horizon 3, and you can very often see that the ground a few meters away is very blurry and not detailed.

It just looks and feel weird, while Horizon 3 still look really nice, and in my opinion a lot better (and the game itself is imo really not as good as 3, but that's another topic, though really, that thing where you get the gold medal no matter what you do in a race is so stupid, it's like they are giving you a participation trophy so no one feel left out, and therefore there's no point in doing anything right in the game).

I swear, everyone puts these super snazzy screenshots up yet when I play it on my Pro it looks dog shit?

What the fuck?
I'm not sure but I remember that the photo mode in Driveclub was doing additional work to make it look better, supersampling being one of these, you could see the game looking a lot cleaner after one or two seconds without moving the camera in the photo mode, so it was a bit like rendering a more complex image, resulting in a pre rendered result, instead of a real time one, so that's why I think many of these screenshots look so good.
