New Driveclub gameplay

True. When you watch outside of your window and see only grey colors with light rain, how does it make you feel compared to a raising sun in the morning with those lovely colors?
To be clear, I'm not trying to necessarily excuse it for being occasionally ugly. We've seen the game go back and forth visually between drop-dead gorgeous and completely underwhelming, and it's usually a case of what sort of weather and time of day is in place. It's just surprising to see people having meltdowns (yeah, that's sort of hyperbole on my part) over something we've seen on and off for a long time now.
 
Second Son was gorgeous in all the pics leading up to its release. It even surpassed
its initial reveal from 2013. Evo had all that time since, including a year more in development. Even KZ:SF matched its target renders.

It was suspicious how amazing this game looked in those gifs.

Are you hyperventilating by any chance?
 
Anyone that already has the game: do you have a capture card? I think uncompressed screens would do wonders. Same with uncompressed video.

Yeah. It honestly doesn't do the game justice.

You HAVE to see it running in 1080p with all the bells and whistles...

And man ... DAT HYBRID OST

Posting more videos soon if you guys want, since I'm such a good driver. :P
 
The game may very well look close to that on my CRT, so I'm not too worried. This kind of thing reminds me of the PS2 generation. We had games that looked absolutely terrible in screenshots that looked amazing in motion. We also had games that looked good in some screenshots vs bad in others.

I can't say I'm not concerned, but the videos I've seen look mind blowing, so I've still got my hopes up.

It sure looked amazing in the screen captures taken from that video.

So I don't buy the "some games don't translate well to screenshot form" excuse.

Yeah, videos are better. :D
 
Guys, trust me. It's a beautiful game.

It's not CG but can we really ask that? Like, today's CG standards in a game that runs at full HD without a hitch in framerate?

Also, fucking GUSHING over how good the in-race challenges are. No joke.

The potential for addiction is high with this one.

Posting a video soon with some really nice rainclouds.

Rapier, you told us the AA was not godlike and that's ok. But those first images were horrendous, you really did the best anti-climax on this topic. You almost killed me of disappointment for a moment. hahahaha

You can't say it is great when you show those kind of images. I'm fine now. Really appreciated the video. lol

Please do!

Norway track with something other than a Volkswagen Beetle hah. :P

but tiny gifs!
 
Yea, I'm hoping that Day 1 patch works miracles. I'm pretty shocked at how poor those are.

Don't get me wrong. I want to be hyped for this game, but these screens have literally killed all of my hype at once. A year long delay for what? Jaggies out the butt, terrible textures, and this is supposed to be a closed circuit type racer compared to FH2 which does all of the above mentioned better and on the weaker system? I don't know what to say. I'm genuinely confused.
 
I'd love to see more impressions of gameplay (or even gameplay videos) and less complaining about screenshots in the gameplay video thread.

the question is, are both the ost and the cars downsampled?
 
You don't remember the whole downgrade situation that happened with Infamous: SS? Some screens were released, various people cried downgrade, turned out it was just a different time of day so lighting had changed.

I remember a short amount of time for that, yes. But it's a completely different situation. Those were a matter of different lighting conditions and stuff, not a matter of image quality. Nobody (or very very few) is saying that the graphics themselves got downgraded. They're just saying the image quality looks similar to how it has for a long while now and not like the new gameplay we got.

Do you not think the equipment used there is at least a little better than the PS4 at capturing?
Yes. The answer is a definite yes.

OMG IM SORRY !! D:

I'll be upping Norway and Chile videos soon
With a non-shitty car... fucking spoiled kids :P

Turn on in race music pleaseee.

Considering one of the biggest parts of the appeal of this game is the visuals... It's unsurprising.

Please dont turn this thread into system wars nonsense.

Joking or not its annoying.

Thanks for quoting and somehow not understanding what I wrote.

EDIT: It's the screenshot complaints that make no sense when there are plenty of videos of people actually playing the thing to dissect.

you seem quite concerned, not confused... and all this over some screenshots? hmmm
 
Do you not think the equipment used there is at least a little better than the PS4 at capturing?
Yes. The answer is a definite yes.

Oh yeah, for sure. But if a game has great image quality, you can still tell it does even from the PS4-taken screenshots.

But I am anxious to play the game myself and/or see high-quality screens, even from those same areas if possible!

?

Expectation were set and are not being met. He's on point with what he mentioned.
All it took was a few screens to kill off some serious hype for me and others I suspect.

I wouldn't have even minded had this game not been delayed for 1+ year.

Can you please stop

edit: If you are doing your routine. I can't tell.
 
Some of you "outraged" fellas have some awful short term memory. PS4 capture is the worst. TLoU and inFamous both looked like PS3 games in some early screens. Then lo and behold, everyone started screaming bullshot. Once we all got our hands on the games, that tune changed in an instant.

Calm down. It's going to look ace.

The aliasing is a concern for sure, but I think most of the other problems people have are due to motion blur and PS4's terrible capture capabilities. I've taken plenty of Second Son pics outside of photo mode that looked awful and most of the time it wasn't even my shitty artistic instincts :)
 
I appreciate being able to see these videos and screens from the retail version. There does seem to be more aliasing in the game than those latest b roll videos indicated, which is disappointing. Still, the game looks gorgeous regardless.
 
As an X1 player, I'll say it again. This game looks beautiful. I'm a bit jelly and not sure what all the fuss is about with the recent in-game screenshots by other gamers.

Yes, the game looks bad when you take "still" screenshots, but it's a racing game and all you'll be seeing 90% of the time is the game in motion. And the game looks breath-taking in that department.
