I had to rewatch part of the video a couple of times because it just looked too good. Do we know what TV and settings were being used?
Do you guys think we will need a TV setting post to inform people how to get the best picture for DC?

But this is already in the game, right?
This is the very light weather effects that's in the game already? I noticed minimal snow and rain, but the heavier snow and rain, that comes in the patch?
Or is all the weather effects coming in a patch?
Either way, there is going to be some serious variety: light snow and rain makes the tracks look beautiful and reflective, but we've also seen some heavier rain effects from that gif
We've seen light snowfall with some buildup on the tracks, but equivalent to rain, we've yet to see heavier snowfall, right?
Or have we already seen the snow at its best? There are some tracks that have snow heavy roads, but this is just a design of the track? It cant be melted?
I am thinking some of what I want is extremely ambitious/taxing on the PS4, but it sounds possible for a sequel. Just super heavy pounding rain to listen to in cockpit view, and blizzard-like snow with gameplay affecting gusts of wind
Sorry for all the questions
The weather lighting and atmospheric effects are in at launch, but no falling precipitation until the patch - if that makes sense
I like my TV with all digital 'enhancements' off, so that's what I'm going with. Natural picture, natural lighting usually, but I do like the high-contrast look for Driveclub - all blacks and high-beams.
You wouldn't notice it on a computer since the thumbnail doesn't show automatically. I posted it on twitter and it immediately showed up. Phones probably show it by default
He said you'd only get snow in places you would realistically expect to see it.

Oh man, that was hilarious. I really need to watch more of this show.

Will we be able to play it on the 7th on our UK account?
The dynamic lighting is fantastic but i also wonder if it will be the cause for most of the complaints.

That zero-g stomach lurch as it leaves the ground is incredibly well done, very impactful. It reminds me of that little bump in the Norway gif that appeared a few weeks ago which has the same lift-off feeling.
If you buy from US then you should get all pre-order bonuses on that account, but you should still be able to play them on your UK account.

Has he never heard of global warming? Perhaps they'll patch it in for 2034.

OK thanks. I was a little confused because there was gameplay for it, but I guess it was directly from Evolution.
Is there gameplay of "Slush buildup" for snow? Because that seems to imply that the snow gets heavy enough that roads become blanketed in snow. We've seen some intense rain and some mild rain, and both look gorgeous and serve different purposes... we've seen light snow where roads become slippery as shown in the photomode video, but can we expect even heavier snow?

Seriously, what's the deal with the mannequin? It's freaking me out.
That's looks ace. Can we go all the way up to the clouds in photomode?

His name is Robert Paulson.
It snows in India.So no snow for us [lonely Logitech wheel users] with PS+ Eddition of the game...

That thread title is amazing
Not in South India, which is where all the tracks are based. I'd expect DLC to be in the same region as well.

Gah! I'll have to settle for the PS+ Edition for a while.
I had three games to decide on for the next few weeks and I chose Alien: Isolation. :/
Hopefully I didn't make a grave mistake.
The good news is by the time I get the full game hopefully photo-mode and weather will be in.
Fired up forthe demo the PS+ Edition, though. Game is absolutely stunning!

This lighting system man. GT7 better have some tech like this. They should be closely working with them and become BFF. More games need this type of lighting especially the ones that may have day/night/weather settings. I wonder how expensive it is performance wise. They don't need things like ambient occlusion so it should make it less expensive the more graphical tricks they ditch.
Are there any PC games with a lighting system like this? I want to mess around with it.

They need to make a game like this but with just ripoffs of known cars so they can go to town with destruction on them..
I'd love to race like this but when a crash like the above happens and you are rolling around you see the windows bust out, the side mirror is hanging off the side, the windshield is cracked, etc.
Would be awesome.

Is it cold in here or just her?

Found some direct feed of this, thought I'd share.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

Motorstorm Horizon City...I'd be down.
On another note, I saw the ad in Spanish, but apparently it is the same ad for UK too
Pretty good shots of gameplay, but not as good as the gifs shown
Any reason why advertisers don't use the absolute best footage? The gifs in this thread are jawdropping and really make Driveclub stand out.Naughty_Doge

Like Burnout?
Driveclub: Slender DLC - releasing this Halloween.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
What have I missed?
Some jokers saying this game is in trouble?
Also, the Forza vs DC comparison debate. DriveClub is made to shine on a giant TV/Projector or (hopefully) head mounted display.
If you're looking at the game through a computer monitor it just looks like a good looking racer with good motion blur, lighting and weather effects.
But you have to get the blown up picture to see just how incredibly detailed everything is.
And most importantly which is what some "professionals" *cough*IGN*cough* seem to be ignoring is that it plays like a fucking dream.
I swear if this game doesn't get the sales it deserves I give up on gaming media. They're bad mouthing something so good.
What the fuck ...

Pretty much. But not THAT arcadey.
Just DriveClub with fake cars that can get torn to shreds

Oh, if they manage to gimp the PS+ version in just the right way to tantalize toe-dippers it has a good chance.
Also,... someone just joined my club lol.
Finally AG SYS taking off. So far I was the only one putting in Fame points,
The game uses global illumination, which is what ambient occlusion tries to aproximate so there's no need for AO. A full GI lighting system is much more hardware taxing than the baked ambient occlusion stuff. Cryengine 3 and Frostbite support real time GI as well, along with the tech used for The Order 1886.
