Game seems slightly cleaner.... could be my imagination though.
The legend events were surprisingly a little easier compared to some of the previous tour races. It's always been that way, I think Viveks had the same experience too.
Yup!
Good for me. I want more of a simulation. If you want pure arcade buy needf for speed.
What cars have you been using?Braking is definitely harder now. I use to test cars on the Scotland Race Track 2 and now I have to brake a lot earlier for the last hairpin with the same car.
I like it better now since it's harder and cars are more unstable under braking but leaderboards times should be reset. I simply can't be as fast as I was before the patch when I have to brake 200m before.
Are there any news about Photo Mode and Weather patches? Any date?
Also, have they ever talked about some kind of, I don't know, reward for the players who put up with the servers not working and all that?
It definitely has less jaggies. On day one I tried to play it on my monitor and it looked so meh I had to go back and play it on my plasma. Tried the same yesterday and it looks pretty good. There's still some jaggies visible but not as bad as day one.Game seems slightly cleaner.... could be my imagination though.

I wonder if the better AA comes from the not-so-secret saucy DPU jeff_rigby thinks had been enabled with firmware 2.0.It definitely has less jaggies.

If the Face Offs get beat, yeah.Does anyone else disconnect constantly after 1-2 laps and doing face-offs? I keep connecting and disconnecting all the time while in race. Leaderboards update very fast 90% of the time.
Well it has already delayed the release of the first track DLC.yeah, lets keep in mind that network team is just a part of 120 big team they have at Evo working on DC. This is why they said that network issues will not affect planned features update, since different people are working on them.

I doubt it, but this would be neat.
Can you feel the love?
Apparently if you play some Avenged Sevenfold off a USB thumb drive your car improves a ton.. well at least that happened to me, got around 10 stars I had trouble with before then.

I've enjoyed the arcadeish driving feel, so naturally I'm not happy about if it's altered more towards simulation later on.
EDIT: And for the record, I don't like NFS series, nor the open world racing the last one featured.
I can't see any difference tbh. Maybe you all witness a placebo effect ?

Yeah I bought need for speed because I needed a racing game. I think I played it for about 2 hours. Haven't touched it since. I love the handling of Driveclub but the braking was way to Arcady! I think it's perfect now. But I don't want a full sim. GT7 for that!
Although I have the impression there's a difference in these shots (which I haven't noticed while playing the game, to be honest) It would probably help a lot if we could compare the same car at same angle in both.On the previous page there are screenshots before and after the patch. Maybe you're not as sensitive to jaggies but I encourage you to take a look.
Possibly maybe. Don't ask me, I know nothing.Could be the OS shrinking and allowing for more resources as well.
Your supporters are gone, obviously?I noticed one big change right away, see if you can spot it

Just deleted the game and did some back to backs against retail shipped version and 1.06.
Can't say I noticed any improvements to AA, and nor did the cars brake any slower in 1.06. I took the Vanquish on the Chile race circuit straight started in the same point and took it up to 120 MPH before slamming on the brakes and retail vs. 1.06 both stopped around the exact same point.
If there is a specific car you think it has happened to then name it.
Which one is the new shot? (I don't have the game yet)I'm doing that now. I noticed one big change right away, see if you can spot it

All I can say is the round gates look way better.
So who has mastered drifting in this game cos I can't do it to save my life..
Heh. I never noticed it did this. Looks like it is random what you get.Which one is the new shot? (I don't have the game yet)

AA is looking markedly better when comparing them directly. But something needs to be done with that AF. I've never really noticed bad AF in a game before, but you really notice it in this with the lack of road detail so close to the car.
IMO, it's completely impossible to notice AF or the lack thereof while you're racing. Even if it stronger AF would cause just 1FPS drop at odd times in this game (right now it probably has 4xAF btw), it would be worthless implementing it.
Have not mastered drifting, but I do have a tip. In the drift events, make sure you maximize those drift zones that are really conducive to long, fast drifts.
...
There are other posts in this thread that give some great tips on the actual mechanics of drifting in this game. Hope this helps!
I just noticed the hands on the steering wheel aren't static, the fingers move and flip off the wheel, just like wot mine do in one of them real cars like! Thats a lovely detail.
I'm so tempted to get this. I am conflicted. I can get the £35 PS+ 'upgrade' version and I really do want a decent racer, but I did vow to not get involved in this until the server issues were essentially fixed and the weather/replay mode patch had hit. But my resolve, she crumbles!
The angle is still slightly different, so I'd say there's absolutely no difference.Retail, no patch.

Did you see the two above? Same Drift event without touching a button so they're the same angle, and the shots are pretty much identical. Only differences are the crowd and where what cloud cover there is casts different shadows on environment.The angle is still slightly different, so I'd say there's absolutely no difference.
Yup, what you say and the vegetation looks different too, probably because of the wind.Did you see the two above?

I also found that watching other ghosts helps a lot. It taught me how to approach a corner and even more critically the speed for drifting, as it's markedly different from the regular cornering speed of some cars.

It does to me, yes.Yup, what you say and the vegetation looks different too, probably because of the wind.
So, it looks like nothing has changed on the AA front, right?
The black bar is normal. DRIVECLUB black bars the unsafe area.You should start by fixing your TV and PS4 settings, before analyzing the game.
That giant black frame in your screens is not normal.
It's been explained over and over again. Set your TV to "no scale", then adjust your PS4's "display area setting".
It is a Samsung from the by-gone eras. I could do with a new one, it is getting a bit cloudy on dark scenes.What brand & model is it?
