Vegetation LoDs are very obvious in stills as well. Obviously far less of an issue in motion.

Yeah, they remind me of the trees from Forza 5. In fact, I think they might share the same assets. But don't quote me on that.
Oh, and is there any way for me to retrieve my screenshots online? I don't have a capture card.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I think that Metro comes across better in screenshots. The animation in those games sucks.

Ugh, so DriveClub does not have AF after all ...
Thinking just the sameWas an amazing thread, it's kinda ruined now
Well then fix it by posting pics!

WTF @ the pillarbox bars on the side. IDK where those came from. Driveclub being screwy.

Wait, so this wasn't the player car? I knew that there was obviously something really wrong but posting a screen like this is basically trolling and should deserve a ban. This was done to ignite fanboyism. Stupid.
Hmm, quite a debate here on DriveClub, I'll add my two cents:
Graphically, it might be a wee bit on the inconsistent side in some areas but it's a pretty good looking game all around(definitely the environments, cars and lighting), it's a shame about it's IQ as I notice many jaggies in various shots.
Also I knew PS4 Share wouldn't be able to handle it in screens since games that rely on being in fast motion(like racers) would suffer a lot because the PS4 has to encode everything. If only I were buying the game I could do uncompressed...unless I feel like getting PSN+.

Very nice shots.
It is true.That's the fault of the capture device because there are capture devices that do uncompressed and do games perfectly in screenshots.
Also Metro looks amazing in screens and Ryse suffers from being upscaled to 1080p despite being a 900p game resulting in some blurriness in screens.

Ok, I fixed whatever that screen size issue was

Looks great in motion. I'm considering trading in bf4 at best buy for $25 and putting that towards a PSN gift card ($20). Driveclub doesn't look like it's worth $60 to me but the PS+ discount -$20 seems well worth it.
Edit: Best Buy is also offering $40 for Destiny trade-ins

They've nailed the lighting. Especially in the cockpit of the car in the last tunnel shot. The subtle light on the aluminium wheel trim, the luminosity and the way the dials glow.
As close as I can get to my own inka orange 2002tii
I want to see the real pics of your car! I love me some BMW 2002. Such a classic car.

I've never played a game where driving under repeating street/tunnel lights feels as realistic as this. The pulsing lighting throughout the cockpit and windshield reflections are spot on. Not to mention the lighting from brakelights ahead of you.

Dirty windows look great.
That's from the x360All games are going to have these issues though. Forza Horizon 2 for example, even in Photo mode
Nice try though...

Here are some pictures from a couple of years ago when I got it.

You sure about that? Doesn't necessarily look 720p when blow up to that size. I figured it was just a bust LoD. Pigface might have been a plant.

The foliage was not made for screenshots though, at least not without photomode. This is definitely a game that shines in motion. Makes taking good screens in the tree heavy spots kinda difficult.
Someone in the photomode thread pointed out that was from the x360 version
Realistic as possible? Realistic claymation perhaps?
Seriously, there's nothing realistic about that mucky, washed out, clay-like look that persists everywhere in the shots/videos we're been seeing up to this point. The pics that popped up after my last post really hilights the poor taste palette choice, or perhaps shaders in general. Proper use of colors doesn't have to mean unrealistic either. DC is still a good looking game, don't get me wrong. Evolution went with a rendering style they thought could product the realistic results they wanted. It seem to work in some areas/settings in the game, but for the most part, I can't say they've nailed it, based on what I've seen so far. If we're simply discussing beautiful images, though - which we are - without the slightest hesitation, I'd give the nod to FH2.

We are? Says who? I'm comparing them on a technical level, and without the slightest hesitation, I'd give the nod to DC. What's appealing to the eye is completely subjective, also.
@Net_Wrecker
Awesome shots, man. That's more like it.
Edit: Holy shit I didn't realise that the shot of DC that was posted earlier was of a non-player controlled car. I wondered why it looked so bad. Why the hell would someone post that?

So I'm not crazy?
I've not mentioned it, but "clay" was my thought too. A lot of rocks and stone cliff faces have that "look".
Glad I'm not the only one. I figured I was.
It's not every shot/scene, but a lot of stuff looks like high quality "claymation".
It's the only way I could relate it in my head.

fantastic. I go to a local car show every month or so and love seeing the classics. Big fan of the 2002, E30s, and Datsun 510 and 240.

Great screenshots Nutwrecker. I think this is the ideal car game for someone who is not particularly a fan of the genre, but loves me some awesome visual details. When the screenshot and weather hits is when I will pick it up.

Jeeez guys....please take the FH2/ DC debate elsewhere please.
Um, the nature of the thread, Lukas? The posting of beautiful images of current consoles' game. If this was meant to simply be a thread based on technically based merits alone, then there'd probably be much less Wii U pics. But, it's a screen-shot thread, and it's been holding it's own pretty well - and will continue to - for that very reason. But now we're getting slightly off-topic, so I'll leave it at that.
Sorry, wasn't really my intention. I started out that last discussion by highlighting how much great art and good use of colors adds so much beauty to a game, comparing Shadow of Mordor to Infamous SS, and Drive Club to Foza H2. I could care less about how each game achieved their looks technically. I thought it was one of those things you can't help but underscore in a screenshot thread. My bad bro. That's done now though.

I disagree. The nature of this thread is to simply post screenshots. Not to only post beautiful screenshots. There are a wide variety of shots here from a wide variety of games, with different purposes. Some are to show off how beautiful a game looks (which is subjective), and others are to show off a games technical aspects, and some are both. For example, when The Last of Us: Remastered released, I came here to see extreme close-ups of Joel's face, to see the detail of the character models, but I also came here to see some beautiful environmental shots.
This will be my last reply on the matter also.
Awww yissss. These are awesome. Much, much better looking shots.
Yea it really doesn't. Not even close at all.

Oh for fuck's sake guys. Can't we just go back to enjoying screenshots instead of bickering about this thread's purpose or which game looks better.

Man, I really need to play Shadow of Mordor.
Knack has some nice looking rocks, also. Actually, it's a nice looking game overall. I really like the art style and pixar-like graphics.

No AA huh?
Honestly, most of the direct feed Driveclub screens I've seen are pretty ugly. It's like there's a graphical pass missing or something. I think the most egregious effect missing in the game compared to the Driveclub bullshots and trailers is the cinematic color grading. If they could add that in the game it would help a lot to make the game more vibrant and pop out more.

Wrecker, you're using a capture card? All your shots are superb, best shots I've seen of the game. Driveclub is immensely detailed.

I think it pops pretty well in person. It's not an easy game to make legit screens of though which is why gifs are like the best way to show off Driveclub. You just can't get that sense of all the lighting, reflective, and shadow effects working together through screenshots. Plus motion blur hides some of those grimy trees in your periphery.
Thanks, but nope, no capture card here. All share button shots.
Now this looks great.
