Yup there is a reset timer, but that's because they didn't want every part of the track to be closed off by a wall/tyres. So you can go off track
.

I tweeted them a while back asking if you could turn it off. They never replied. I remember them saying they wanted it so nobody gets an advantage, but it looks ugly and annoying more than distracting.

 

[Fortuneelsewhere]

This game looks damn near photo-realistic but one question, how does he pass that car when he's driving the exact same car since there is no tuning?

Momentum

 

[mejin]

I still can't believe it's a console game.

 

[Jigolo]

What's the name of the song in the video

 

[Hoje0308]

I guess if the track was just one straight line...

As for drafting/slipstream, that is one long distance draft plus the other car cuts in between them, but whatever.

Edit: Nice edit vivek

Distance depends on how big of a hole the car ahead is punching through the air, plus it's more of an arcade game. Evo has probably taken some creative license with the drafting properties to keep races closer.

 

[truth411]

Overrated. Horizon 2 looks better without even trying.

Pre-Order Cancelled.

 

[VE3TRO]

Looks incredible, I just hope it has plenty of replay value.

Sounds like Owl City though.

Probably similar to the DiRT games in that aspect. Pretty sure they didn't let you explore freely.

 

[test_account]

Don't be mad....I've played Rivals, F5, and Horizon...what's making this so special? besides the 30 fps

Spoiler

That dig against Driveclub doesnt really work when Need for Speed Rivals and Forza Horizon 2 are also 30fps though Meaning that 30fps wont be anything special since 3 of those 4 games you mention are runing at 30fps on consoles =)


Anyway, the game looks great indeed

 

[Wavering Radiant]

Holy shit, you can actually see the tire tracks on the grass. WTF

I did not notice that before....

To put such detail into a part thats not really even meant to be driven on.

The Evolution guys really are loonies xD

 

[driver116]

Looks incredible, I just hope it has plenty of replay value.

Well there's online multiplayer and friend challenges so there will be no shortage in that sense. I'm more interested in the single player - I hope it's packed.

 

[Summer Haze]

I still can't take my eyes away from that desert GIF.

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

Looks incredible, I just hope it has plenty of replay value.

With the weather update, free dlc I'm sure there will be plenty to do for quite some time.

 

[Marlenus]

So looking forward to playing this on my 102" projector

I have asked the GF for a T300RS as an xmas present too so maybe if I am lucky I will have that for this and Project Cars.

 

[Wavering Radiant]

Dont forget the GAF Cup

 

[IronicSonic]

What is corridor in Spanish..?

Corredor o pasillo.

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

Dont forget the GAF Cup

I wasn't even aware of that lol. I'm rubbish at Driving games so will probably give that a miss haha.

 

[Sordid]

Wow, looks great!

 

[ClearData]

Hot damn.

 

[Summer Haze]

Not to mention spending way too much time ogling at the visuals with the photo-mode.

 

[KOHIPEET]

Not to mention spending way too much time ogling at the visuals with the photo-mode.

Easily a week or more, just by taking photos. I can already see the massive amount of DC photos flooding the screenshot thread.

Hopefully there's a separate photo-mode thread, like there was for TLoU:R. Although, I doubt that will help with the flooding that will occur in the console screenshots thread. Lol.

 

[Hoje0308]

Not to mention spending way too much time ogling at the visuals with the photo-mode.

I took 1400 pictures in TLoU. Will probably double that with this beautiful beast.

 

[KOHIPEET]

It really is the draw distance that stands out (right after the lighting). I think I've only seen similar draw distances in The Witcher 3.

 

[Summer Haze]

I took 1400 pictures in TLoU. Will probably double that with this beautiful beast.

Jesus...

I took 200 in Metro: Redux, and I thought that was a lot!

 

[KOHIPEET]

People will probably just post their screens everywhere they can. lol

 

[LapinAgile]

Any truth to the rumor the game wont have race replays?

 

[Summer Haze]

I know it only displays the cockpit view for a split second...but HOT DAMN it looks amazing. The lighting is just incredible, but it's not just that...there's just something about the cockpit view that looks amazing, I can't really put my finger on it.

 

[BloodMoney]

Insane visuals:
the cockpit view is unreal
the sensation of speed is unreal
the environments are unreal
the weather will be unreal

many hours will be wasted in photomode

the only thing I'm anxious about is how it feels. its going to be hard for me to get into a racing game without a wheel (the ol' G27 is not supported), but i'm hoping that Evo has struck the perfect controller couch racing balance of arcade & sim.

9 days.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Stunning looking and fun.

 

[mangochutney]

You know in the recent footage that guy streamed on Twitch it looked to me like the telegraph wires were now fading into view, that is to say distance ones along the road are not visible.

However I reserved judgement on that because of the low quality stream. But here, it really does seem like they're doing that.

Anyone else think that? Most noticeable at the segment from 1:32 onwards, which is the gif below. If that is a solution they're employed it works really well.

The sense of depth of the mountains here is absolutely insane.

 

[fuzzyreactor]

Are there any good deals or bundles for this game and a ps4 in the US?

Would it be cheaper to just buy a ps4, get driveclub + edition and then upgrade it?

 

[viveks86]

Yeah that's what tempted me to leave it in there. Was too brief for a gif of its own!

 

[3rdamention]

Any truth to the rumor the game wont have race replays?

I don't think we have heard a thing about replays yet.... I could be wrong

 

[Allez Phill]

Like some people said, I think the game nails the feeling of vastness. That's a problem that many racer and mainly games have a problem with.

 

[Loudninja]

Are there any good deals or bundles for this game and a ps4 in the US?

The bundles are only for Europe. :/

It is $49.99 on the store with PS plus.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

I really can't afford this game because I'm saving for LBP3 but I don't know if I can stop myself buying the full game.

 

[Summer Haze]

I love those strategically placed shrubs at the side of the road, with specific distance in-between each one to create a better sense of speed.

I see you, Evo, I see you.

 

[LapinAgile]

I don't think we have heard a thing about replays yet.... I could be wrong

Hope they are in. I will be checking out the PS plus version anyway.

 

[viveks86]

Any truth to the rumor the game wont have race replays?

The mode has not surfaced in any of the UI tiles we have seen so far. Evo hasn't commented on it at all. Inconclusive at this point. I'm still optimistic because they had it in the early concepts. But they could've pulled it (can't fathom why).

The bundles are only for Europe. :/

Also came across a bundle for Hong Kong. Strange that the US doesn't have one.

[clutch.as.it.gets.]

Imagine a Motorstorm 4 with those graphics.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

I pre-ordered this from Kmart (don't scoff, I had my reasons), and I am set to have it delivered on release day. However, I am still unsure of whether that means it will ship on release day or whether I will be receiving it release day. Luckily, if the latter is the case, Evolution has me covered with the PS+ Edition until the retail copy arrives.

One way or another, I will be playing this on release day, which makes me very happy.

 

[Summer Haze]

Imagine a Motorstorm 4 with those graphics.

Any game with those graphics would do me just fine, lol.

Spoiler

But I'd love an open world game with that engine + those assets. DEVS, PLS.

 

[fastford58]

The lighting is just out of this world. I haven't been this amped for a racing game in a long time.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Sorry but can I have my reality back? This can't be real.

That draw distance. GOOD LORD.

So amazing. Even keeps the sense of speed on the more open areas. Dayum. I'm going to lose so many races because I stop and gawk at the surroundings lol

 

[Red Chocobo]

Every time I see that desert gif I imagine how good Just Cause 3 could look.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Oh lordy.

All over my face please.

 

[orochi91]

They fixed the power lines!

Look at how clean it looks!

...unless it's replay footage >.>
