Okay...This night scene reminds me of Initial D.
Is there any information on a downhill mountain track? Because shieeeet, night time+weather condition is the best for dramatic racing.

Sweet Jesus. Goddamn. HOLY SHIT!!!
Incredible. That's exactly what I was hoping for when they announced snow. I can only imagine how good it looks from the bumper cam.
Hmmmmm, forgot OGS has the Steelbook, thought it was exclusive to ShopTo, that's what I read earlier. Just been and pre ordered it at JB today. Weird it's out on a Wednesday here, might throw a sicky on the Thursday *cough cough* can feel the Norwegian air affecting my sinuses now. ;^)

So that jaw dropping snow gif.
Where's the track impact? I'm looking at it as closely as possible and I don't see the car hit the sides of the track and yet there's still a penalty.
Notification lag from a previous impact perhaps?

There is lag with notifications some times because you only see one on screen at the same time.

Not in the US, however they are just skin variants. No cars that have been produced are missing from the full game. The pre-orders simply unlock them faster and come with an extra skin.

Figured that might be it, but nice to have it confirmed.
Man, I cannot stop watching that gif. It's mesmerising. The snow effect looks off the damn charts. I was a little concerned after the last snow footage didn't impress, but goddamn, I couldn't be more happier right now with how good it looks.

Yep, I thought it streams your notifications in order until it catches up, so you can stack a few if you get in a hectic moment.

You should not pay attention to what reviewers say about racing games.

After they called themselves "experts" in response to backlash (it's one thing to be called one, but another to use the word on themselves in the situation they did) and said Sony couldn't do midnight unlock for Destiny due to retailer relationships, I backed off on their opinions (there's no consistency on pre-load unlocks yet, as several have still unlocked at Midnight Eastern and several Pacific).
None of those... yet. Keep in mind Rushy said DLC plans include manufacturers from around the world.
Minus Polygon most reviews for Forza Horizon 2 feel pretty spot on with me...

Can you give a run-down if you have the time? Not particularly keen on listening to their podcast any more.
I foresee a great many penalty notifications for me when they finally release the weather patch.
Fuck. I'm marking out here over that snow gif. Good grief.
even with that fat chance they put r32, r34s, rx7, s2000's and other japanese cars

I pretty much stopped listening to them last year when they were openly supporting DRM. The only good thing to come out of that was a user pointing out to them that they don't understand why gamers feel the way they do about DRM because they get their games for free. The only reply Greg could come up with is that he was going to try to start buying more games. Colin didn't say anything.
I think the Wed. release is to be inline when ROW gets it on their Tues.
If I can't organise a club here, I might hang around on GR and see if there are any takers

Probably because it just happens at times. Even in real life.

look at 1:30 - 1:33 for most pronounced effect. But in reality in the entire video the car looks like its floating and the shadow has issues/looks absolutely fake.
I can assure you, real life doesnt look like that even at such lighting conditions.

Okay this is straight up bullshit . Can someone explain this to me?
How's that possible being restricted to the same vehicle class?
EDIT:
FUCK YOU DANNY_RT HAAHHAAAHAHHAHABABHAB
Probably used his mushroom wisely.
Yes, they need to add a nighttime downhill mountain battle like this:
Gimme Sega devved Initial D with driveclub engine plz (60fps tho)
That's not an issue, just a typical illusion when the light source is directly behind the car at a low level, making the shadows "move" forward. People need to stop with this floating bullshit.
Instead of calling it "bullshit" try research how such lighting conditions look in real life and then come back...
It is not an "illusion" I've spent 35 years living/driving to know that the freaking tyres of a car dont look like that when the sun is behind you...
Yes, they need to add a nighttime downhill mountain battle like this:
Indeed they do.
The game would be even better if they have a drift downhill mode where you can wager your Fame against one another.
Just imagine waiting in the lobby to be match up with another player 1v1, battling for your club and personal fame, and steaming the whole match to your club members...hnng, I am drooling just thinking about it.
Rusty, you are missing a huge potential gameplay mode!
holy mother of....
I think you just sold me on this game even though it doesn't have that stuff in it.
In real life viewer would cast shadow into that area as light comes directly from behind the viewer.
Also direct light is strong enough to mask the very soft shadow casted by ambient light which becomes visible when car goes into shadowed region.
The additional blurriness of shadow in this case is most likely due to the motion blur. (it shouldn't blur the shadow when relative positions of light, caster and receiver stay same.)
Thanks very much, but I'm 99% sure US codes don't work here.

Please tell me you aren't referring to when the shadow is directly covered by the car due to the sun position. And please tell me you aren't saying you're qualified because you have seen real shadows.
How? serious, HOW? Sorcery I say.
Maybe you need another 35 years living/driving to know what I'm talking about.

I'm listening to the Beyond podcast right now and they are smack talking this game to oblivion. They got some complaints from what they said about it last week and address the fact that they were wrong about calling it a sim racer, but in the process they just shit on the game even more. Stuff like the year delay has "killed momentum," the reveal at the PS4 event was misleading and sold it as a simulation instead of an arcade game, the fact that it's going up against The Crew ("there's great buzz around that game" - there is?!) and Forza Horizon 2. Greg even rolls out the standard "no one cares about this game" line. Is he right? That's certainly not the impression I get here on Gaf and other sites, but beyond the internet there could be some truth to what he's saying, I don't know.
Νah I aint telling you anything. I am very well aware of how sun position affects shadows thank you very much.
