Image Quality is not the problem on this game. Screenshot image quality is.

What better looking racing games may I ask?
The visuals aren't great on the small scale; many objects individually lack high frequency detail and lighting/shadowing response, and the image quality is simultaneously grainy and somewhat smeared.
But on a larger scale, the game is crazy impressive. The world looks fleshed out with objects, the lighting across the scene on the whole is mostly convincing, those clouds... And it's all extremely real-timey, soon to feature incredibly cool dynamic weather on top of the real-time lighting and sky.
In motion and excitement, where fine details are not as scrutinized, the wide-scale correctness and richness and dynamicity should dominate and be glorious.
I don't think I'm going to be as blown away as I originally expected to be, but this game is going to look damned good.
Mario Kart 8, obviously.

I thought there were 11 tracks!
you know the answer
Probably Project Cars.
I was considering FH2, but that doesn't come close to DC in the visuals department.
Some poor screen shots aside, DC is on another level when in motion.

i think the guy above got it right, 11 tracks, but all from India.
1 Location, 11 Variations.

Oh. I had no idea that it's only one location. Hmmmmm. The 40€ upgrade seems like an option now. I really want a Racer. Like... reeeeaally.

Do it. Club on.
Yup. That's any PS4 game.
First I'll wait for the reviews though :/ I hope it will be good.
My only concern with it being a 'standard' racer, is that maybe I won't do huge sessions on it. Whereas with something like forza if I get bored with racing I can change to aimlessly crisscrossing a grey circle on a map looking for a car I won't ever drive to break the tedium.
The relatively straightforward approach might damage it in reviews too, with reviewers finding it hard to say much about it other than the graphics. I hope the social aspects work well and help keep people engaged, but will that be fully up by the time of reviews?
On the positive side, I haven't had a racing game for ages where I spend tons of time on one track with one car, just improving my time over and over. A bit of that is the forced story nature of recent racing games always pushing you to the next thing, making each race almost disposable. Fingers crossed DC will be my score attack racing game, getting mileage out of repeat playing rather than just throwing content at me and hoping some of it sticks.

For example ? And it's been well discussed this game went for realistic lighting so some videos / scenarios look better than others . Like in real life and when it looks good it looks amazing
preorder cancelled, can't believe the visuals are actually not that great

Done with my first session with the game for today. Had tons of fun, the only thing this game needs is custom soundtrack! Will try going into MP later to write my impressions on it.

You can adjust the time of day, weather as well as the time lapse of the level itself.

about this pic... is that a CPU Car or is that you? I'm guessing another car.
if so, I thought someone said that other car's head lights don't project lighting on the environment? I mean there is even footage where that seems to be the case...but here, this car is actually doing it.
also, has Sony ever said anything about improving their capture quality on the system?
You were probably reading a comment about GT6. All of the opponent cars in Driveclub cast their own dynamic headlights.

CPU car, I was looking behind me.
I mean adjust it in real time when I'm in photo mode

Pro-tip for everyone that currently has the game posting screenshots: They'd look 200% better without the HUD.
in was in this thread and it was a comment from a gif that showed Cars going into a tunnel. I forget... but I just figured maybe that was from an older/review build or something.
but yes, the poster said like GT6 the same seems to be the case with DriveClub.
eitherway, nice to know that is actually not the case.

Rest assured, It does.
Yeah I've seen that. Doesn't mention changing the time of day. I don't expect it to include that, but it would be a cool feature
They cast the lights, but don't cast shadows. Only player's car does.

To be honest the pics are not amazing, it does look amazing in motion, though.
That does look pretty amazing. For some reason I see myself moving back and forth on the visuals of this game. One minute I think it looks like nothing special and I think it looks great the next. I blame it on being disappointed by visuals too many times.

Yeah I've seen enough videos to know the game will look fabulous on my TV. Some games just don't screenshot well.

Yeah, some of the pics in this thread make the game look like garbage, but I know by now how good it looks in motion. Can't wait to finally see for myself in person.

Everyone ignores comments mentioning the detraction from screenshot beauty caused by HUD, in my experience
There's a photo mode patch coming soon. Will there be a new contest once it is available?
What if the photo mode won't come in 20 days?
