The game has sunny/cloudy weather at launch .
They will patch in rain and snow later.
Dirt 3 doesn't even TOUCH Driveclub in lighting, geometry, attention to detail, and simulations. The only things it has it beat in is textures, AF, and image quality (assuming you play it at max settings with good AA). In motion, Driveclub's visual priorities make it look far better than Dirt 3. In screenshots, Driveclub's sacrifices (textures, AF, IQ) make it look less-than-stellar.
What the hell happened in here in the last 20 mins?
Bunch of blind people came in here not knowing what to post so making horribe posts instead.

If you want to see a good driver play, watch the inside racing stream from a couple days ago.

All we need to worry about is the reviews because people have been warned about drivebys.
Wait! There's no whether at launch?!

I'm staying out of it. All I'm interested in is DF. I'd like to hear what they have to say about the tech and thats it. I know I'm going to fucking love this game.

I'm sure it does. I'm saying that it's not as good as I hoped for it to be graphically. There is aliasing everywhere which is a big turn off.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
You really hate that car
Just look it at... Fucking retarded looking thing. It belongs in a destruction derby. Against 5 steamrollers and 7 monster trucks.

Ugh, the aliasing.

I'm very familiar with Danny. I like Danny. But he sounded moronic in that stream and didn't seem to know what he was talking about.
So now all of you GiantBombers can go back to your little thread and laugh about us silly Driveclub fanboys. Tee hee.

Are you basing this off of your own playtime?
Well, I mean, we have more recently found that it's not actually a graphically perfect game and sacrifices had to be made, which are in texture quality, AF, and image quality. They had to make certain priorities, and I do think they chose the right ones for the game when it's in motion. If you've only played one race, play it some more and let the sky simulations and vast environments shine.

Dirt 3?
h..ha..hahahaHAHAHAHHA
No really. Dirt 3?
I'm done.
I'm so done.

I'm not denying that it doesn't beat Dirt 3 in some areas, but overall it's just a close call. I'm just kind of underwhelmed Driveclub barely beats a game that game out 3 years ago in graphics.

Games do care about it, but they usually just reduce the HUD, not the entire game so you miss the edge of the game picture (although in your case you had it set too small so moot point), but you can still see the HUD.
Looks like Evo reduce the whole thing instead.
On the positive side, Joystiq sounded like they were having fun playing it, and both the Gamespot guys did say it drove really well and knowing if there is a free version or not isn't going to affect that.
Not to mention the car shadows.
But i guess a game has to impress and be exciting and fun to get you enthusiastic about it, but these guys didnt seem enthusiastic for the game at all..........so maybe its not that good???

Damn these gamespot guys look like they don't even play games. They knew nothing of the game, didn't even know they weren't suppose to show certain cars. I'm thinking, if you work for gamespot you should know about the game that you are going to stream. Are these guys here to inform us? Shakes head.....

It's not even noticeable during gameplay.

Ive noticed the aliasing long ago. Since some older videos with those "white dots" behind some cars and stuff. Someone explained to me that it was because the pixels on some jeggies were not reflecting light or something like that (can't remember exactly, sorry for the inaccuracy). But I was hoping it to be gone till release aswell... its the main thing that pull the game down graphically saying.

maxed PC version of Dirt 3 vs Driveclub isn't the most off-key comparison in this thread...
Its kinda sad that even people here knows more about the embargo :/
But it doesn't barely beat it. When you're in motion, incredible lighting with decent textures is way more impressive than mediocre lighting with good textures. The priorities they put in place are way more important IN MOTION than the sacrifices they had to make.

honestly think gamespot is right in saying if horizon was multiplat i dont think anyone would pick up driveclub, it looks very meh. hope is sells well though would suck to see another dev close down

think it was fair enough myself (the gamespot stream), was just a casual look at the game and neither of them are going to be reviewing it anyway so not like it matters.
think some people here find it a bit of a shock that outside of this hype thread, some people might not find the game as 'amazing' as you would like. myself I am looking forward to it, but will play the plus version first to form an opinion.

There is no close call about it DC lighting alone means Dirt 3 is no where near unless you talking IQ.

I advise you to either stop or label this sarcasm.
They're two completely different sub genres of racing game. A lot of people vastly prefer closed circuit racers over open world racers, and vice versa. I don't know why people are so hellbent on comparing the two.
If I had a choice between both, I'd still be buying Driveclub. Open-world racers almost never have track design that matches their purpose-built counterparts. Also, try telling that to the people in here that own an X1.

There is not aliasing everywhere. There are edges where you would expect aliasing, but they are perfect. Then there are some where you expect them but there is no / bad aa.
For example the ventilation grille at the front bumper is perfect but there is some aliasing on the wiper.
Anyway, once youre in motion, you won't notice the aliasing.
I'd say there is a fair chance it gets patched.
Someone's staring at the timer in a dark room.....
Thanks for the response mate
Basically
For me, I would prefer better textures and aliasing over lighting. Anyway, people are impressed by different things when it comes to graphics, so you can just ignore my post if it bothers you and go back to talking about the game how you want.
