I'm not an expert but it seems they can get this incredible rain detail in the game without a hit to performance as they smartly use the mist to cut the draw distance of the backgrounds down.

The mist also acts as a block to the dynamic sun rays, which requires some processing power.

So... the game looks even better now?

All over my face Rushy, please.

Oh my goodness. It gets even better. :-o

Is there a statue where we can worship you guys?

Felt like I was going to get wet watching that.

It's easier to share and view on mobile smaller videos. Look at the incredible reaction these two instagram videos have garnered here alone. We're already at 5 pages and counting. Each video already has over 2000 shares on instagram.

There's a case for teasing like this on social media. The 1080P videos will come for sure. They even say that the weather systems are still in development, and we're months away from launch. We haven't even seen the real marketing push for this game begin yet.

I think their strategy is working.

sure sure sure (your post really does make perfect sense), but GAF want's the hardcore 1080p uncompressed shit.

looks great... but it would look EVEN better on gamersyde.com in full HD.. come on(e) Rushy stop teasing us with instagram and facebook videos.

 

[thekiddfran]

What's completely crazy is how the game looks like someone actually driving down those roads in the rain as opposed to it being a game that just looks super sharp. They really hit it out of the park with the global illumination, the effects, pretty much everything except the powerlines (lol).

My thoughts exactly. Looked pretty lifelike in that clip.

 

[hawk2025]

What really drives it home is the sound.


Just fantastic.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Looks absolutely amazing.

 

[Leatherworkstation]

I can actually smell the stormy rain from that footage

Driveclub Ambi Pur special edition plug in air freshener, conifer forest air with rain and a hint of tarmac. I'd buy it haha

Seriously though, I want this game sooner than immediately.

Hahaha, really though?

Fuck me. This is tipping over into 'book the launch week off work' territory.

Nice.
Rushy, you guys at Evo are wizards I tell you.
WIZARDS.
I'm absolutely floored by some of this footage.

 

[EGOMON]

Also they showed two new cars:
2014 Volkswagen Beetle
2013 MINI Cooper

 

[gift of 100 gab]

Hnnnng. This is INSANE. Way above what I imagined, and my expectations were high.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Someone should post a comparison of DriveClub at 2013 E3 and this/later videos?

The improvements are stark (like you'd expect, but still...).

 

[akaFullmetal]

Gifs please, I am at work : (

 

[Maintenance]

Looks very good, I'm impressed. But a Beetle? Seriously? Wasn't the game only high end cars?

Just rename the game DriveCrows.

Be honest...how many virgins are you sacrificing to Cthulhu to get these graphics?

Just tell me if it's more than 10.

No, they've said that there's a good variety in cars. Although for the most part it seems to lean more toward supercars than everyday drivers.

 

[bombshell]

Good job Rushy, the weather looks incredible.

 

[Gestault]

Just saw the short clip on the Evolution Facebook feed. This is super impressive. Right up there with the best moments from Project Cars' weather effects, but I'd say consistent in a way where even a "mundane" moment without dramatic lighting to highlight what's happening gives a strong impression.

Fantastic work.

 

[kaskade]

Not sure if it looks any different in the sunny version of the track but it even seems like the little stream might be flowing more heavily in the one video. I'm noticing a bunch of white splashes against the rocks.

I can't even imagine what this is going to look like on my TV.

 

[boeso]

Hooooly Shitballs

 

[//DEVIL//]

I am going to buy the LE if there is one for this game. I support awesome graphics. and this makes me melt. I can't take how awesome this game looks and sounds. the engine sound is just so real I really doubt GT7 will come any where close to this.

lol

I can't stop watching these videos. I've been sitting here for the past 20 or so minutes just watching them over and over.

How did they do it? They should release a 'making of' documentary.

 

[TheOMan]

Much improved in the latest build, these vids were done just after E3

Pardon me? The game looks better than those clips now? What?

:O

Edit: And this is an ARCADE racer. You guys are definitely blurring the line between arcade and simulator in the looks department.

 

[Steroyd]

Sweet mother of God, I don't think I can sit on just the PS+ version when it drops.

 

[cyber_ninja]

Wish there was a collector's edition for this game; #Driveclub deserves it.
Also keeping my fingers crossed for a new motorstorm game on PS4. If you
reading this Mr. Rushy, please make it happen. #motorstorm4.

 

[oneils]

Not sure I understand why they release the vids on instagram or facebook and on what is what less than 720p?

Aside from that, from what I see the weather effects look great.

 

[Sid]

Every track has weather changes?

 

[Yoday]

I have to imagine this is due to some GPGPU trickery, right? The game was already looking well beyond anything else we have ever seen in a racer, and then they just drop an entire simulated weather system on top of it?

Rushy please, videos to blimblim?

 

[T.O.P]

I hate these teasers, are we getting a full video too?

 

[strafer]

Still needs improving on dat engine sounds tho

 

[GameSeeker]

Rushy,

You and the rest of the team should be proud of how well DriveClub is coming together. It's mind boggling how much better the game plays and looks now vs. E3 2013.

The weather system looks like it is going to set a new bar for console racers (heck, maybe console games period). I know you are planning on delivering it post launch as a free update, but set yourselves a stretch goal of making launch. Having weather at launch would positively effect review scores, which is always good

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

Will this have local co-op? No excuse if it doesn't. Need this to play with friends and sister as I did with GT on the PS3.

 

[Cornbread78]

Can you confirm if the powerlines are fixed, because that appears to be very important to some...

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Webm 1
Webm 2

For anyone that might have missed it, these webm's are the best.

 

[sirap]

I just arrived home from a rainy 4 hour drive.

Yep, they nailed it.

 

[JCreasy]

Ok ponies, lets see th . . . HOLY SHIT!

THAT'S A GAME!??
