Now seems like the perfect time to buy this game...

 

[Shaneus]

How is the handling in rain and snow?

Like it's raining and snowing. The handling is affected more than appropriately for the conditions, even to the point of varying between going over wet bits of track and aquaplaning over pools of water.

 

[camac002]

Does the weather affect the frame rate?

Not only rock solid, but I swear the regular AA is better....on a clear bright track is looks less jaggy to me...I need someone to back me up or maybe I'm just high after seeing this awesome weather

Repost from photo thread.

 

[Always-honest]

Since I set my tv to sharpness ''0'' I hardy notice any shimmering or aliasing anymore...

Yeah don't worry, my tv setup is perfect. And from normal viewing distance the game looks fine. But i can still see more shimmering than i'd like.

It's just a small gripe in an otherwise perfectly great game. The detail in this game is so amazing that it deserves an even better iQ imo.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

For anyone asking about 'shimmering', has your TV got PC mode? If it has set it to that. It immediately improved the image quality of ALL games for me.

AA is better in some parts, but not others. Maybe it's the new tracks (I doubt it) but some fence lines (particularly wire ones) are still kinda jaggy and distracting. Not too much though, about the same as before I think.

This is crazy, brehs. Midday rain races look CG. I almost can't believe what I'm playing.

Let's not act like the game is perfectly clean. It's okay to adress that, or is it a crime?
It's just the tiny upgrade a game like this deserves. Not trolling. Not hating on the game, just the last little thing that would make the game perfect for me personally.

will check that out tonight. Sounds good. Any improvement is welcome.

I never suggested it was perfectly clean. I'm just passing on something that made me so damned happy when I changed it.

One last coming and we'll be done for the moment.

Fair enough. It's just certain things like tops of steering wheels, the aliasing seems gone there, but I suppose I'm over the moon about the weather. Proper next gen looking stuff.

This is fucking fantastic.
The way the drops, especially on the bottom of the windscreen, react to steering and impacts is just... wow.

Okay, fair enough. Thanx for the suggestion .
But my tv set up is as good as it will be.

So, now that the online functionality is fixed and the dynamic weather is in, are Polygon going to update their review again?

http://www.polygon.com/2014/10/7/6570539/driveclub-review-ps4-playstation-4

 

[quetz67]

From where do they take the extra performance?

And couldn't they use it for non handling changing effects for the standard weather? Like fog, leaves flying around, wildfires whatever?

 

[leng jai]

Heavy precipitation on Lytton using cockpit view is pretty much heaven. I already cannot remember what dry racing is like in DriveClub.

Let's not get crazy.

Actually, that's an interesting thought. If they alter their review and score it lower then they MUST also do that in reverse. If they don't then it's not fair at all. And if they do, they can't put it back to what it was, they'd have to score it higher because of the whether update.

I find that which view you use makes a big difference. The chase cams are worst offenders..

I was talking about PC mode on your TV and how it can make the world of difference to PS4 games.

 

[Oppo]

they (Polygon) probably will re score the game. easy hits, to be cynical about it.

so is the patch actually out? I can't tell from the thread

 

[FranXico]

I can vouch for that, my TV was basically completely blurring out the console output until I turned PC mode on.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Really?!

er ... it's out.

Yeah its already out.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

I just stumbled on it by accident. No matter how I adjusted my TV, there was also a lot of 'sparkling' (don't know the technical term) on the edges of objects in games. Then I put it on PC mode! REVELATION. I still have control over sharpness too but I don't know if it's the same for all TVs. Mine's a Philips. It also stops the borders on LBP3!

Funny that you offer 60FPS. What a tease.

 

[desertsession]

I want to get home and play this right now.

 

[Oppo]

sorry. pre coffee. I thought it was advanced previews or something.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

Absolutely not at all.

Holy shit, this game is so goddamned beautiful:

Is that photo Mode or gameplay?

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Don't apologise. After reading the way I put that I would fully understand you thinking I'm a right ass hole. It should be me who apologises. Sorry.

 

[Pankratous]

Is that photo Mode or gameplay?

Photo Mode, which is representative of gameplay. Outside of 'photo editing' like depth of field and colour filters, the graphics are very much the same. The main difference is a better AA solution, but that's really it.

 

[kriskrosbbk]

Still not clear to me where is the Redline car / tour pack ?Season pass only?

 

[Raist]

Is that photo Mode or gameplay?

Obviously photomode given the angles.

Here's a gameplay gif.

 

[Putty]

Holy shit off a stick!! This is just truly astonishing! How the fuck did Evo do this?! And the framerate is just, well it's unwavering....not noticed a single drop! Outrageous! Can't wait for the new single player events to land.

 

[MMaRsu]

Is that actually out yet? Maybe it will come tomorrow

Welp, time to pick up DriveClub

Sheeeeeeeeeet.

Man this was $20 at costco. Time to go hunting.

 

[dead monkey uk]

Now seems like the perfect time to buy this game...

Was thinking the same thing, I noticed Amazon were selling this for £30. Is driveclub worth getting for single player? I currently only have 3 PSN friends and they have not got Driveclub.

It is a shame the PS+ version does not look like it will get a release this year, would liked to have tried it before I buy, as I have not bought a racing game since Burnout Paradise.

Yes, it is absolutely worth it for the singleplayer. Bear in mind you can join GAF-created clubs if you want to do so. It's also my first racing game since Burnout Paradise, and I love it.

Here's another one because why not. Lightning returns.

Just added this to my gamefly list. Love what I'm seeing now. If I like it I will buy!

Hmmm....blocked at work.

Next week. There is added shortcut to PS Store now

Thank you Rushy!

This will be amazing winter, heading to arrange my T300RS purchase ASAP

I think I like this one way more than the weather update.
