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.

Yeah but even a casual look should be able to answer basic questions and not come across like they were brought of of bed two seconds ago and dragged in front of the camera in a daze.

It's their paying job for Christs sake show a little professionalism.

I couldn't care less if they liked it or not but they didn't even manage to give a half formed opinion on anything.

Not a fan of the racing genre but I caved to the hype, even though there is a free version. What can I expect? When is the App coming out?

I would have still bought DC since i don't like most open world games.
The media , companies and some gamers this gen seem to have a open world hard on but some of us don't care about them as much .

I'm from the UK and thinking of subbing to the US PSN for a month to get early access.

Hey, that's a good idea. Play the ps+ version for a few days. Maybe some of our US Gaf friends have spare 7 day PSN codes from games etc that are only usable on new accounts..?

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.

People are probably "hellbent on comparing the two" because they are both current-gen racing games, exclusive to their respective consoles and coming out within a week of each other. Comparing them is perfectly valid and not at all surprising.

Because of this thread I will no longer visit Gamespot or Joystiq ever again. Two stupid streams filled with stupid people who shouldn't be talking about games.

Sometimes I wonder if it would be cool to get a GAF gaming website together with various members and their opinions.

And then I realize we already have NeoGAF.

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.

First time I noticed it for real was on one of their first videos after the delay, on a race at night. It was pretty apparent in motion. Not sure how is it in motion nowadays though.

What do you think looks meh about it?

Do you feel that an open-world racer is automatically better than a circuit racer?

Going to try the free version first. I really want to buy it. But Forza horizons 2 messes with my vertigo so much, so im assuming this will too.

Two completely different offshoots of the racing genre.

I swear it's got something to do with freeze frame shots with moderate to heavy motion blur.

Because you can't notice them during gameplay.

graphics are great but not impressive. There are alot of jaggies everywhere, which really ruins it for me. Gameplay wise is fantastic. Still have only seen one level but graphically left me underwhelmed.

Not sure I like the sound of this... Is that general consensus from people that have the game already? Wasn't there supposed to be some special AA that Driveclub is utilising? I'm not going to be able to try it until Friday.

General consensus from people playing it is that aliasing is not noticeable during gameplay.

By the video you posted I really could not see any. It was more apparent on the older viedes I saw I think (mainly in 3rd person, so you could see it on the back of the car).

I'd hate to shit on some people's parades here but I can confirm that the IQ is not nearly as god like as some gifs would have you believe.

There's jaggies everywhere.

From the cars to the railings in the background while you choose your livery.

The game is ace though. Plays wonderfully.

You should know, right? You've probably driven it by now, but I'm sure you picked the BAC Mono for that event. :p

It takes so much throttle and brake and steering control for that thing not oversteer itself into a tornado it's ridiculous.

EDIT:

BAC Mono am locked -_-

Gotta level up my club again ffs...

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.

i dont play racing games so i should have mentioned this in my original comment but to me forza just looks so much more appealing if i was to buy one + the amount of content isnt even comparable.

But then it's barely noticeable in motion.

I didn't notice it while staring at the areas you pointed out and the edges of the car. If I was also concentrated in playing as well then it becomes nothing.

That's not even close to the consensus from the folks on GAF already playing it. It would be a minority viewpoint.

That's probably the crux here. If I wasn't big on racing games and just wanted a fun sandbox with cars to mess around with, I'd probably choose FH2 as well. Hell, I played the first game for that reason but imo open-world "racing" games are always pretty poor when it comes to the actual racing part due to various reasons (I still had fun with FH1, 1000GSed it but the actual racing wasn't that great).

However, as someone who wants an actual racing game at the moment, my choice is Driveclub. Closed-track racers are just the better racing games. No exceptions.

So you're pretty much admitting that you're just here to talk shit. Okay...
