If it looks as good in gameplay as all the screenshots and the PS4 reveal teaser suggest, then Sony would be dumb not to show a live gameplay demo of this in their conference.

Yeah. This game, if it does indeed look as sexy as is indicated by the screenshots, is probably the No.1 system seller for the PS4 in Europe.

They should also make a point of the 'dream team' who are behind the game in the advertising. That's if Sony do advertise it...

My cousin is playing GT5 right now, near me.

Those sounds are... :Q__________

GT5

 

[sunnz]

Just turn the music off in GT/Forza, then...

I was talking about the trailers/ reveal trailers...


Pretty much impossible to do without muting the video.

What I mean is music is fine, but having just the car sounds is a lot better.

 

[~~Hasan~~]

I agree, looks like quality was lost somewhere / the pic is too small. The background mountains still look nice though.

i think this pic was taken from a scan ? its not really very clear

don't be silly! this game could be a real system seller. of course they won't advertise it.

Looks that way.

 

[phosphor112]

Looks that way.

It was posted from the facebook and twitter pages. Though, yes, it does look bad.

I see.

 

[SolidSnakex]

I don't think that it's a scan. It just looks like the same noise filter look that they used with this screen

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

The screen has got the same garbage filter from photoshop they used on the official site

There better be a full media blowout next week.

There should be. Rushy mentioned that he's already booked his flight for E3, and I don't think that he attended to PS Meeting since he posted his viewing setup on twitter. So it definitely looks like they'll finally be able to show and talk about it freely.

Ha yeah exactly.

Game just seems to be slipping under the radar a little, all things considered. That will of course change at e3.

I loved his presentation.

Yeah, it is. Look at the lower right part of the screenshot where it's obvious that the paper is a bit wrinkled. They should seriously stop with these compressed-as-hell shots and show some direct-feed ones. Unless they're hiding something...

[Ardenyal]

Game looks lovely. Hope the leather seats look real enuf.

 

[paradise_circus]

sound should really be a smaller problem with such big amount of ram.

 

[Foxyone]

Let's just hope the actual gameplay looks as good as what they showed at the PS4 event, and that there aren't anymore zombie drivers.

 

[msdstc]

Does RAM affect sound? (noob question)

 

[SolidSnakex]

Not really. It really all depends on how the sound is recorded and then what if any filters you run them through afterwards.

Is that confirmed? Because on Twitter someone asked this:

@DRIVECLUB @dartmcgrath Will it sound like these http://www.pole.se/sounds.asp ? They mic up the cars and thrash them around a track?

But he didn't get an answer to that.

 

[Cidd]

That Maserati Gran Turismo S and Camaro SS, Is like the car gods making sweet love to my ears.

Have they mention the amount of cars that will be available?

 

[RadarScope1]

I've got my eye on this game. I'm almost certainly getting a PS4 at launch. And I used to really enjoy racing games - but the arcade style not sim. In recent years the focus has all been on Forza and GT. Ridge Racer is dead and there doesn't seem to another Burnout coming anytime soon.

I'm not a big online MP person, either. But the idea of this game focusing on a good online experience combined with the relatively small number of people who have a PS4 at launch means a limited but cool community could be what DriveClub has in store for the first couple of months. By the time others jump in I'll have some experience and skillz.

And yeah, the graphics - holy shit.

He reminds me of Old Greg...

Have you played NFS: Most Wanted (2012)? It's a great open-world, arcade-style racer. Lots of fun.

 

[paradise_circus]

Not really. It really all depends on how the sound is recorded and then what if any filters you run them through afterwards.

iirc, the sounds in gt 5 have lower bitrates but all the perspectives have an own soundfile while forza has higher bitrates but the sounds in the different perspectives are just some kind of dsp effects.
i think that was mentioned several times in gtplanet.

 

[Kleegamefan]

These graphics+first person mode+those mind blowing engine sounds=Day zero in my shiny new PS4 on launch day

 

[Pound_lb003]

Mmm, I'm actually loving the grain filter on it.

 

[Kleegamefan]

I am really feelin the non-traditional Time of Day shots in this thread.....especially the moody overcast/wet track

Dat Atmosphere!!!

Why run them through any filters?

I haven't but I'll try to check that out. Just haven't been grabbed by a racer for some time. But I don't play many of them either any more so its a self perpetuating cycle.

EDIT - and I did hear Forza Horizon was decent.

 

[waypoetic]

Oh wow. That pole position link...

Evolution Studios needs to stop ruining their screen shots with grain/noise filters.

Grain/Noise filters are so 1880's technology. We live in a digital word, not a plastic film world. Stop making games look like they were shot on Kodak film.

Most of the cinema in the last 100 years have grain and even HD cams used now have noise at least. It's part of a moving picture, and there is nothing wrong putting some of it (subtly) to add some organic feel to your game, especially if you go for a realistic and ambient look.

 

[LeBoef]

Stupid publisher should tell them to stop being so creative... Grain filter... Stupid artistic thing

hopefully ONLY on photomode. nothing realistic about adding grain while you are driving.

Motion pictures that were shot on Film have grain, understandably. Todays Films have grain only for nostalgia reasons to try and mimic the technology of the last 100 years. Film makers may be stuck in nostalgia mode, but their is no reason video games should be. Human eyeballs don't have a grain/noise filter; so if you are trying to simulate reality (i.e., a human standing and watching cars race), don't use a grain/noise filter. At the very least, give the user the option of disabling it.

 

[kevm3]

I'd really love to see what the studio could do with another motorstorm on the ps4.

 

[SniperHunter]

New images in this month's Play magazine.

a racing game with cool atmosphere! this takes me back to need for speed high stakes. I loved the tracks in that game

 

[Betta Lines]

Dat grey filter. Next-gen's brown/piss?

 

[grumble]

Have you played NFS: Most Wanted (2012)? It's a great open-world, arcade-style racer. Lots of fun.

I'd kill for a NFS: underground 3. Always thought that was a missed opportunity for publishers, the last one sold well and was a great game, and could definitely make use of IAPs and social features to make htem more money.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Or you know... it's an overcast setting.

 

[Betta Lines]

Or you know... it's an overcast setting.

It's that too, but you can't deny the game's heavy use of camera filter effects.

 

[Punkster_NY]

holy fuck those screens look freakishly amazing. :O

 

[Metalmurphy]

It's that too, but you can't deny the game's heavy use of camera filter effects.

The videos have looked great so far. On of the most realistic dusk lighting conditions I've seen in a game ever.

 

[Amir0x]

Damn I just love everything about this game so far - the way it looks, the concept behind it, the new gameplay ideals it's implementing into the racing genre... I really really can't wait to get my hands on this. To me so far it's the PS4's killer app

 

[kinggroin]

Ground textures look low res enough to be real time. Even taking depth of field into effect.


Edit: If this plays like PGR, it'll be my first purchase for the system.

 

[cyberheater]

Why would any texture on PS4 look low rez. Surely it has 16 times the memory of PS3. We shouldn't be seeing any low rez textures ever.
