Those two videos posted in the update look phenomenal. The fluidity and sense of speed are impressive.

that aint snow on those mountains it's just GAF's reaction to the footage

Yeah and i'm about to make it rain

 

[Cyborg]

ZOMG! More footage including weather in Norway!!!

SNOW. BABY. SNOW!

O my god....looks so hot. Just amazing

 

[Holographix]

All of the loading seems really fast. From the stream yesterday you could see that restarting a race happens instantly, going from a race to the menus takes about two seconds, and loading a track takes around five seconds. I've never seen a racing game load as fast as DC.

Evolution should take charge of the PS4 OS.

 

[Putty]

New footage is just nuts! Nuts I tells ya.

 

[Cess007]

Same. Just because I've had steak before doesn't mean I need chicken next time - I'll never turn down another good steak!

Edit: i realize this is a poor metaphor i'm just hungry right now

..

Anyway, OT. I finally found a way to see the video. Damn, the change on the road after the snow starts is amazing; and i love how the control of the car seems to change due the wet road.

 

[Ashad Mamood]

HOLY SHIT!

Doesn't looks like a dense snowstorm though. That's a shame. Was hoping we'd see something that literally makes it impossible to see a foot in front you...

Just at the end when he switches to dash view the snow looks a lot more prominent. Hopefully you'll be able to turn up the snow density!

 

[BloodMoney]

ok, Sony, time to release 1080p direct capture footage of these weather effect.
don't make us suffer.

I second this.

Sony/Evo pls.

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

did the devs say driving under different weather conditions changes the feel of the car? or is it just a visual effect

They've said that it will impact your driving. One of the rain videos even appeared to show a dry line forming as more cars drove over a specific area.

If visibility is a thing, won't different camera angle will be unbalance?

nice! thanks

It's the same thing that happens in the Order 1886 threads people are "Concerned."

OMG. The Order 1886 review thread is going to be a massacre. I'll probably be avoiding
GAF that entire week lol

DC looks amazing despite the off-screen footage. Gameplay looks excellent as well.

 

[vpance]

Most realistic wet pavement ever. The puddles look incredibly naturally created.

Looks almost too good, dayum.

 

[AlexIIDX]

That snow race is seriously mind blowing. I really hope I like this game.

 

[benzy]

Light blizzard. We need severe snowstorm. Let's make this racer one of the most tense ever.

That doesn't look light. It looks pretty similar to this.

[Hoje0308]

The Last of Us: Remastered threads were terrible also.

Until Raptor came in a lightened the mood. Driveclub needs gore confirmed.

 

[GodParticle]

That snow gif looks like they're about to make the jump to hyperspace haha

Funny thing is I expect it will review very well and people will still cry foul.

Also I just watched the snow video....... I am ONLY playing this game in cockpit or hood cam mode holy mother of god. Looks amazing and after seeing their outline for it I will be getting the season Pass day 1.

I lived in Tahoe for a few years, big dry flakes, even at slow speed, will look something like that.

Looks kinda bizarre in the 3rd person cam, but I appreciate and endorse what their doing there.

 

[psn]

I should find my copy of POD: Planet of Death. Does anyone else remember that?

Of course... At the time I liked it... even though the sense of speed is horrible

 

[Ostinatto]

Cuz the snow comes from the same direction no matter what?

 

[Ashad Mamood]

There needs to be more variety than just mindlessly pelting away on a fake empty circular track with some pretty vistas.

It makes sense in an F1 game - that's a sport. But DC is an arcade racer that had zero constraints during its inception. Wish devs didn't blindly chase after the elusive PGR4. It worked then. It won't cut it now.

So if you want those things then stick to the other racing games that are coming out like The Crew, Project Racing and FH2.
I can't remember people complaining that Forza 5 was Linear, Sterile, boring etc?

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Ahhhh can't wait for this. Lookd amazing

Eh, the majority of the time you're moving so you're effectively moving into the snow flakes faster than the snow flake is falling to the ground or in whichever direction (unless it's a blizzard) in which case the snow will always look as if it's coming towards you.

 

[Ashad Mamood]

I really like the puddles but I can't figure out what's being done here so well. Can someone better acquainted with the technology explain why it looks so good? Is it the pattern of water or is it the reflection?

You should have went to SpecSavers!

Haha, Raptor was a funny guy. Too bad he was banned.

RIP in peace.

 

[M.W.]

I'll be preordering this bad boy tonight when I get home. $49.99 is awesome. I'll probably get the season pass too.

Eh? The guy who wanted stuff shoved up his ass?

Why was he banned?

I really want it to review well. The premise is intriguing!

And yes, the hood cam is extremely well implemented in DC. Very immersive when coupled with the amazing audio.

 

[jett]

Ummm...something does not look right here. Why are the snow particles just in front of the car and the rest of the area is clear (top of the car, behind the car). Maybe they are still working on the weather system and its not final.

It's just the way the VFX is handled in this game, tailor made for gameplay cameras, not so much for replay or photo mode. An entire world filled with particles would be...impossible to do.

 

[plainr_]

That's one gorgeous looking wet road.

 

[Always-honest]

That's basicly what you see when they pause the vid and move the camera, right?

[Ashad Mamood]

this just looks so boring to me. environments are pretty at least.

Another totally pointless and not needed comment!
Well done Blue Peter badge is in the post!

 

[3rdamention]

I dont know what you will be able to adjust in the game, but I know Rushy mentioned that they were able to turn the snow up to white out conditions it was so thick. Obviously, that wouldn't make for a fun Racing Game, however, half that density could be AWESOME!

Love me some trees, it's a global warming issue really

 

[jett]

...no? You see a small cube filled with snow in front of the car. MGS2 did the same thing but with rain.

 

[Alebelly]

I don't think its a small cube, it is a small cube, but its the area that it being lit from the cars head lamps

 

[viveks86]

I'm almost certain that you are wrong here. If that is really the case, then photo mode would make no sense with weather turned on. This simply has to do with ambient light vs head lights and how a camera captures that. They will render whatever the camera can see.

 

[Shaneus]

This is it, folks. This is PGR5.

Spoiler

Cities would be nice, but can wait until Driveclub 2.

 

[Krisprolls]

You know the footage was great in a Driveclub thread when nobody even mentions Forza Horizon 2 anymore.

So close you can almost touch it

This post is just as bad as the FH2 posts. Why don't you people understand these things. Smh

This picture kind of shows that - sorry for the small size it was the first one I could find.

EDIT:

A better version. If the streetlights were gone you wouldn't even really be able to see the snow outside of the headlights

 

[Kysen]

Game needs some urban areas badly

 

[Ooccoo]

if only it had demolition...I need a new Burnout badly
