Lapping these trial races and shooting for these times is making my palms sweat.
This game is fucking amazing.

You need to use the brake. You can handbrake some corners, but a good amount of the time you're carrying too much speed and will slide through.
Yep, the short period I was connected earlier today I couldn't stop myself from lapping constantly.

I don't really agree. This type of racing game is a dying breed and the last one I played was PGR4.
The area DC really seems to excel in are the large open roads combined with the dynamic lighting. Makes every drive a special experience. It certainly doesn't re-invent the wheel but it does not need to.
Do we really need that here? It seems like you are more focused on making fun of people than actually discussing the game.

Did this game get downgraded? Seems like there is more noticeable aliasing on the vehicles than what we saw earlier in the year.

"your connection to the driveclub servers has been lost"
have they been usable at all in the last 12 hours since launch?
no leaderboards or anything for anyone?

Nada. Shame too

Don't think there's any need for that, like.

Are we doing this for every game now? Besides the temporary server issues I am not seeing those annoyances...

my theory is high frequency aliasing is not picked up by jpgs or video because of image compression. Compression hides random pixel sparkles, its not considered critical by compression designed for photos.
Only uncompressed image formats can show the game as it looks on your tv?
Such a pity since some cars are to be unlocked via CLUBS.
Was up briefly for 30 minutes or so. Managed to sneak in my club and logo. Sent out invites to club members. And that's it. Been down ever since for me. For those 30 minutes, everything was working. Challenges, leaderboards, everything. Was super smooth too. And then boom.
Should I ever use the hand brake?

Anyone know whatever happened to this?:
Digital Foundry: Hands-on with DriveClub
Were they able to include that last system in?

It seems like you are more focused on me laughing at ONE person than discussing it with many. I'll reiterate 'ONE'. And it was funny.
Yeah I decided to hold off playing any more until I can join a club. Having some of those club unlockable vehicles would've really helped out in some of the races.
I don't know. They may all be there, but it honestly looks like they slapped some FXAA on there and called it a day. That's probably offensive to the work they've put into it, but the IQ is the only real sore spot in it.

The Scotland time trial is the most fun event yet, great speed.

I'm curious as to whether the final AA solution will be part of the weather patch...
Personally, I pretty much never do. I would try it yourself and see how much speed you think you carry out of the corner compared to braking down.
How did you get the idea that I was laughing. When you keep posting comments that are obvious trolling here, it makes this thread feel like we are in GameFAQs. Anyway, back on topic.

There you go again: 'Keep' trolling. Are you getting me mixed up with someone else?

Nobody??
How long ago did you start your DC download?

I was thinking that maybe it wasn't included yet. Then again, it might be. You'd think with five systems in place, the image would be at least 99% free of aliasing.
I meant posting comments that are obvious trolling from other sites onto here.

It works now for him.
Small things here and there that are annoying me in the first hour.
For instance, I LOVED the idea of abandoning the driving line and replacing them with colored flags. Great idea.
Only problem? Not every circuit has them! Not an issue if it was my 100th time through, but it's an inconsistency.
Next up, the scaling of the game. Why does the entire game scale when every other PS4 release I've played will just scale the HUD to the parameters set. I purposely left some gap on my TV so HUD elements in games like Diablo wouldn't be near the borders, so I'm left with the choice of that or having black bars surrounding the screen.
Again, nothing deal breaking, but annoying.
I'm using RoS just as an example of a game launching with promise but with some inherent flaws that detracted from the experience which were remedied after a major update. I think we'll see that happen with the weather/photomode update.

Not to butt in, but a brief look at GG's post history suggests nothing of the sort. Have you confused them with someone else?
I use it rarely to force a drift on the car to complete a challenge. Otherwise I don't go anywhere near it.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
It was really nice to have Danny_RT from Evolution chiming in on my stream giving me tips. I couldn't handle it! Too much pressure to perform. That Venom Hot Lap is a bitch.
Seems a silly thing to hold back...unless they found the needed horse power to do the extra AA when they worked on the weather.

True enough. "Weather" would certainly put a final wash over the entire product that may see it being the case. We'll see, I suppose.

What? You used the word 'Keep' as in I've done it many times. I've done it ONCE. You must be mixing me up with someone else. And like I said, it was funny. If you want to see trolling, scroll through a few Driveclub threads. Jesus.
And yet there it is looking worse than most games with one AA solution, lol.
It's unfortunate. People keep bringing up how it's not quite the graphical tour de force they thought it would be, and I'm 99% sure it's just that aliasing and lack of any AF at all.

Do third-parties control their own server code, and Sony just provides the servers and bandwidth? I don't understand how a game server could buckle so easily in this day and age unless the admin is totally incompetent and did no stress testing.

It may just be an integral part of the patch which affects the product as a whole.
He never said you laughed. He said he was laughing at one comment.
