They did another one, too, although that one was more interview/Q&A-focused (the gameplay was just the same old showfloor demo they'd been using since E3).

No need to argue, chums... in a way, you're both winners here
This is getting pretty tiring.

They do know how to get my attention.
As tiring as DC vs FH2 posts?

Those are at least entertaining and somewhat relevant.

We get it, you're a troll. Your post history gives it away.
This. Comparing PGR and Forza Horizon is apples to oranges. DC looks and plays like a spiritual successor to PGR.
Well in that case a lot of games could claim to be the spiritual sucessor to PGR. Most racing games feature tight technical circuits as a component of a larger racing experience.
PGR on the other hand, focuses on tight urban circuits which makes it unique in that regard.
FH is more about going on a grand racing journey and being carefree, where as PGR is about mastering distinct street circuits and doing it with style,precision and speed.
0:35, damn that grass pop in is very annoying, i cant remember even The crew being that bad but except from that is really is gorgeous.
The lighting and such, damn.
Cant wait to play it!
You know this?

I don't see the pop in, can you gif/webm it?

New Microsoft IP is the Old Microsoft IP you've been waiting for. Just revive PGR already Phil!
I thinks he's talking about one of the little bushes on the side but it's lightning quick.
You will blink and you will miss it quick lol.
EDIT: Nope I was wrong, just watched it in HD.
I'm as clueless as you are Miles ha.

Ah, okay.
I'm re-watching it and I really cannot spot the pop in.... Guess I'll download the video and check it out in slo-mo.

Somebody in another DC thread mentioned that there were some people that worked on the PGR games now working on the DC team, so that's a decent sign.

No it isn't.
The PGR game I'm waiting for has lots of awesome looking city tracks for me to do laps around. This is not that.
Neither is Drive Club.

Its doesn't even have to be the next PGR to be the greatest things ever. Being better than the first Horizon would be more than enough.
I see. Ain't there guys at Playground who worked on PGR too?
Look in the distance at the fields as he is going down the hill.
It's barely noticeable, I had to watch the clip 3 times before I could see it.

No, because it has Forza dna in it.
It's going to be fun, but it isn't PGR.

And if you need to help people find it, that tells you all that you need to know about that observation's worth in the first place.

As much as I hate racing games in general, both this and Drive Club both look like excellent games. Don't have a PS4 yet, but I may have to pick this up... Open world + customization? Yes please.
Pretty much. This is a pretty ridiculous complaint.

Sorry for the stupid question, but I dont follow these games much. Does this play more like Forza 5 just open world? Or is it more lenient since in the launch trailer I seen big jumps and breaking of debris.

In a shell, it's open-world Forza 5 with more arcade physics and a "road trip/summer music festival" background. There's car customization and somewhat realistic physics (kinda like Race Driver Grid or Driver San Francisco), but also off-road racing and exploration and an actual story.

I generally feel this way about technical analyses, like the kind that Digital Foundry specializes in, too, though I know many on GAF really disagree. A lot of time, people would never have noticed and never have had an issue with something until someone with a fine tooth comb points it out to them. The darker side of data points, IMO, where it relates to entertainment products.

This is a system seller for me; nothing else even comes close. FH1 was rare perfection and I I thought they'd have no chance to match it after the travesty that was FM5.
As soon as that white console (Kinectless) is released, this will be mine.

Same here. I don't see the comparison at all. DriveClub seems much more like a spiritual successor to PGR than the Horizon series.
Played this a few times at Gamescom at the aftershow, it was really exciting.
In the Demo the weather changes mid race and the first two times I tried I ended up skidding off the road because the handling changed. Twas great.
Driving through fields of wheat in bonnet cam was difficult though!

Why, though? Can you link a video that helps support this belief? I'm genuinely curious because I never see it, but I am interested in playing the PS+ demo to see for myself. I see no real technical courses in all of the video previews and all very nice looking areas zipped by on long, relatively gentle curves. Not once do I recall a video that even looked like the first thirty seconds of the video last linked in this thread where FH2 is having racers on some tighter city courses at night. Maybe I missed a video.
I'd never heard of those before. I'm tier 3 too. How do you get to the next tier? And if I redeem rewards (300k credits for forza 5), does that reset my tier back to zero?
Edit: need 2,500 points. On 2,200 so should be doable
