No, it's not a big deal, but when people keep responding "No, it's reacting just like it should!", and know I otherwise, I'm gonna say that. But as I said in the previous post, there is nothing more to be said now. I'll just have to agree to disagree with whoever thinks it's supposed to react like that.
Also worth pointing out, other people also spoke up on previous pages pointing out what was happening in the gif seemed strange to them.
Again, differing cars/settings/situations. As someone already mentioned, the sensors/system in this car may be more sophisticated or sensitive. You can't compare your car to every other car on the market.
What you're saying here is kind of ignorant to all the other car manufacturers/cars in world who have different standards/reasoning/procedures.

I agree, definitely not. Those fireworks are too far away to trigger such a sensor anyway, otherwise it would go off every time it sensed a street light, or bonfire (which it doesn't).
It's a cool little artistic flourish, and probably helps the fireworks feel more impactful, I wouldn't be surprised if they triggered a little hint of rumble as well (do they?).

The last words I will speak on this matter, since you're suggesting I'm ignorant on this tech:
There isn't a car maker in the world that would tune the interior dash lighting to brighten because a small firework went off 200 yards in the distance. Not one. It would make absolutely no sense to ever do such a thing.
This isn't even about the game at this point, you're just saying things about real world cars that make no sense.
Thank You.

Is it unreasonable to be somewhat miffed at Sony for not just releasing this earlier? I mean people already have the retail disc, in this age of digital media it just makes no sense to me to hold back games to a set date if you can download them.

I'm not sure if half of what's said on GAF is satire or not. I feel like many posts flirt too closely with Poe's law for me to adequately gauge the community's sensitivity to certain details in games. I have no idea if fireworks light sensitivity is a legitimate problem in the eyes of the enthusiasts.

Its not in the game to be absolutely 1:1 realistic with the real world.
It is in the game to showcase ... hey, the interior of the car will react to even the slightest change to the ambience occuring at night. It is an awesome effect that has never been done before, so yeah, make it sensitive and show it off.
Nice strawman. Nobody is suggesting that a manufacturer would tune a sensor to intentionally pick up fireworks 200 yards away. What you're saying is logical enough on its own merits that you don't really need to redefine the other guys position just to make him look extra ridiculous. You aren't getting any kudos for the sick burn after all.

Except it occurs during broad daylight, which makes it even more strange. It's a nice effect but way to overdone especially when you see how realistic DriveClub looks.

Very OT, but if you enjoy the Norwegian scenery in Driveclub, check out this beautiful video just released. Kind of makes me want more norwegian roads to drive. That bridge especially.

are we really saying "meh not impressed! next!" about the dash turning on during a fireworks display and arguing about its legitimacy and how it's unrealistic?
this is such a new low. fucking ridiculous.
guess what, you also can't drive your car in a 3rd person view! big fucking deal.
this sort of "scrutiny" is just downright stupid.

Because it doesn't do it in my car, it doesn't do it every other car is what you said. All I was saying is that what applies to your car doesn't necessarily apply to all other cars in the world. BTW my car does 50MPG, and so does every other car in the world.
Holy shit! Even the fireworks cause the dashboard lighting to toggle on and off!
Looks like the game just adjusts the dash light brightness so they are visible based on the overall brightness of the scene.
Love the ambient light sensor talk, though. Hilarious.

It's clearly not that, since the dash only lights up milliseconds _after_ the fireworks go bright. It's absolutely intentional and simulating interior lighting reacting to the fireworks.
Doesn't even really matter if it's what a real car would do or not.
The only question is if it's a "real" light simulation (I don't believe that) that lets the car "pick up" on the lighting, or just a scripted event that lights up the dash (my money's on that) that happens here, as well as at the tunnels etc. No one said it doesn't look insanely cool, because it does.

Everyone calm down, it's an Audi. It's probably just malfunctioning as usual.

Does it need an explanation? Maybe they just thought it would be cool with the fireworks, doesn't seem like a big deal.

This game is going to make me subscribe to PS+, I just know it. I didn't last long
You don't know what you have been missing brother.
I blame Guy Fawkes for all this fireworks talk.
That's what I thought too

Here's a summery of what you get with PS+ for those who still have questions, and YES, you get to keep the upgraded game even when your PS+ subscription ends:

Been thinking about this game a lot today i just want to drive and compete to everyone on gaf. I will beat your time (sometimes) i am very competitive with this. Also people saying this looks bad or predicting scores. Please go do something else and complaining to complain isn't going to help.
Just wondering: what if one gets the season pass but not the full game? Would it work?

I can't see why not.
How can you be sure it isn't just coded to light up a few ms after the overall lighting changes?
Pretty awesome.

Man sometimes I just don't know...Evo probably did this to accentuate the erupting fireworks, but people want to nitpick this to the tinniest degree in an arcade racer which is all about fun and of course the visual spectacle.
I won't be too surprised if someone mentions that somehow it's "distracting" and they can't play the game because of this, even though there are five other cameras available.
