Except it doesn't float…..It's there making contact with the road, just without a regular shadow being distinctly visible below it, and when you shift angles and positioning on the road, or the sun does thanks to the dynamic global illumination, you will see a realistic and accurate shift in lighting and shadowing around or underneath your vehicle to match.

DRIVELCLUB: Concern Edition.Just because something is physically accurate doesn't mean it's pleasing to an eye. These things should be avoided (and are avoided) in art (paintings, illustration, movies, etc). That's number one rule of any art form. Someone in your art department should have picked up on this. Just saying... The devil is in the detail.
On the other side, can't wait for this game

So now DRIVECLUB is too realistic? I'm glad you're looking forward to the game, but everything else you said is bullshit. It's not a styled game and is meant to replicate reality as honestly as possible (within reason). To say that Evo should alter an objective reality for your subjective interpretation of how you feel the world should look is beyond the pale.
Rushy has repeatedly stated otherwise. The odds are your source is mistaken (or lying).
Driveclub threads never disappoint. Good job guy.

Oh...
Isn't there a Steelbook edition too ?

This is beyond hilarious. Thanks for the laughs!
And you like defining natural phenomena as magic and insist that a car is floating when we know for a fact that it is not. Good for you, smarty pants.
I really wish that NeoGAF shit posts Twitter account was still active. I feel like d9b could have been a contender.
Man the retail version is so expensive it's hard to justify
US $59.99 on playasia
EU US$89.95 on playasia
EU 48.95 pounds on zavvi
Add $10 for express shipping too.
Compared to $56.95 for the upgrade on AU PSN store and $49.95 on the US Psn store....
Might have to go digital for this one, disappointed but at least I will be able to play day one.

Im pretty sure art is not required to be pleasing to the eye as that rule itself is a subjective measure. If the art style strives for realism then why would they ignore reality?

Gaf why u hate on Driveclub?!
lol some of the stuff this idiot saying makes believe he/she is a lurker here either got banned or can't register
BTW this stream is going right now
wish they would just get rid of open chat boxes to be honest. I have never once entered a single stream with an open chat box that had a worthwhile conversation going. It is like medieval times during a beheading or something and the crowd just screams random shit as loud as possible

Holy shit. Sharp catch. Even with the time stamp it took a couple rewinds to spot it.

Someone, anyone, eveyrone, give me a reason not to upgrade my G27 to a T500RS... I don't need to make this purchase, but I am on the verge... must resist. Watching that damn Gamersyde Norway hillclimb video this morning has really made me want FFB with Driveclub.
Indeed. Then again we have not seen this type of lighting fidelity in many if any console games ever before, regardless of genre, so it's understandable to be confused by the unfamiliar.
I'm in the same boat, but G25 instead. Thing is I just decked out a new games room and bought a second PS4. I'm not sure I could sell this new wheel purchase to my wife lol.

It's an optical illusion. The problem is not the reality, the problem is how your eyes sometimes interpret and see reality in certain conditions /camera angles. These things are usually avoided by following advice from experienced art guys/girls in movies/games/etc industry.

What... in the world is this post about?
So let me get this straight... Rushy and the rest of EVO has stated many many times they want to get the lighting as realistic as possible and have never hinted that they will manipulate it to make it less realistic... and you are dinging them because the realism is not pleasing to your eyes yet they achieved their goal?
So your complaint is if I am getting this correct: The lighting is too realistic?
Holy shit people... we have arrived at new levels of crazy criticism
I have to admit that it took me a while to get used to this, but it is entirely physically accurate - we don't use fake shadows or mask sunlight by ambient occlusion, which often hides this 'effect'.
Under strong lighting conditions and from the right angle there won't be a shadow visible beneath the car. To show this I took a car out into the Evo car park, parked it so the sun was from directly behind and held a camera up in the air at similar angle to the chase camera.
Nothing is faked or baked in this image either
Nice try mate, but everyone knows it can't be that sunny in the UK, especially this time of the year. This is obviously shopped. Or a pic made with DC's engine.

You've lost me
Once again, Evo went for realism. You're asking them to alter a fact of the real world because you can't get over it. You then resort to tacit insult by referring to the people that don't do this as "experienced." You don't have an argument and now you just sound like an asshole. Good job.
Seriously, his argument boils down to, "That also happens in real life, therefore you should alter it. Because art."
But soooogooood.gif that he did.

The Top Hat isn't magnificent enough! Plus where is the bunny?!?! Don't top hats come with bunnies!?!?
Damn you real world limitations!
You guys are having the same conversation that surrounded the Realism/Naturalism movement in classical art. That's awesome, but you probably won't progress beyond better describing why you prefer accuracy or the importance of human agency in artistic representations.
Guys, late last night we started building a PSN friend list for all players. Doesn't matter if you are from GAF to not or if you plan to buy the full version or not. If you are going to play this game and are looking for others to play with/against, send a friend request to
PSN: DRIVECLUB-GAF
Exactly. Too funny. Felt like we had travelled back in time!

Preorder cancelled due to realistic lack of shadow from a certain angle at a certain time of day. Evolution you need to step up your game if you're going to play with the big boys.
Edit: also textures are low and flat like PS2 graphic

This isn't meant to be disrespectful right, infact its high praise. But seeing these gifs, from behind the car (even though i prefer cockpit cam), it reminds me of when i first started playing toca, the view from behind that renault laguna, i'd never seen something so amazing.
Is that what we're arguing? Because I thought it was about respecting Evo's decision to go the route of accuracy. Asking them to make certain concessions just begs for an inconsistent presentation.
