Guess I'm the only one with the 100 post per page setting on GAF?

This track and car seem to show of the rain better:

I'd be willing to try to get some FH2/DC Photomode captures (Same Model, similar color, same'ish angle, maybe same'ish lighting) if anyone wants some. It's really only good for seeing model and environment quality though because of the near perfect IQ both add to Photomode pics.

Its possible but it doesn't look like he added any filters to it. At least, to my eyes.
vvvvvv I think he means benzy's
Mine yes. Driveclub's giveaway is the IQ, particularly on foliage and car edges. I never add filters or motion blur to my DC pics.

project cars isnt much of a comparison tbh
Come on guys, let post these 37 posts missing before next page.
Welp.
Offscreen footage?
Welp.

After spending several hours with DC Photo Mode, I'll pre-empt people who may claim the photo mode snapshots are not in-game in DC, by describing what it does ..
photo-mode, if you let camera stay still, does processing.
The processing accounts for shutter speed, if that is not set to 1/8000th, and focus/aperture, if that is not set to infinity. It also softens any hard-edged shadows - most visible in sunlit pictures, it adds AA which cleans high contrast body panel joins. That's about all that is visible between no-processing and processing complete.
In the rainy day shots, if I was not playing with depth of field or shutter speed, the processing phase didn't add much to the picture and the picture looked the same as an in motion frame-grab from in-game when the camera was in a similar spot.
Yes, DC is still a bit weak in the spray department.

I meant both
Obviously the camera angle was a giveaway in Noobcraft's shot. In both images I quoted the IQ is way higher than normal during gameplay.Thanks for posting the original.
I'm well aware what photo mode does in DC
I just asked to confirm my thoughts.It's funny, the FH2 spray looks really good, but the effect looks too blurry, like a haze that gets kicked up more than what I'd think of as spray. Headlights highlight it too much too. I do like that particle effects are getting more attention in general this time around.
Yep. It's another level (or 5) above.
The spray in that video is insane. Tiny bit of smoke in Assetto Corsa and the game starts dropping frames hard.
I can't see PS4 reaching that, but who knows with Evolution.
TBH makes it look impossible to drive a circuit you don't have fully memorized.
Though it looks wicked and I'm glad it's there as an option.

If you put the photo-mode one (full screen) next to the in-game one, the difference is very small. You can pick on aliasing on some high contrast edges, that's about all. At least, if your Image Quality scale is one that ranges down to include other rainy day driving game screens.

WTH is that white smoke coming from the tires of the other cars?
Like Gestault said: badly lit spray effect.
Lots of the rainy/wet scenes look off in FH2 because of that.

It is amazing how they have done the raindrops on the windscreen in DC.
Reality:
notice each drop reflects an inverted fish-eye view of the scene..
the drops on the DC windshield make a reasonable fist of doing the same thing.

I was reading people replying "holy shit" etc and so l thought i'd better check the video out as it must be incredible.
Just watched it and thought "OK"?
Driveclub weather update impresses me far more, in fact it was a "Holy shit" moment for me.
To be fair those responses were pre-weather update. Evolution did the graphical equivalent of dropping the mic.

Driveclub can't be beaten. This thread is pretty much done for.

After having played Driveclub post-patch, I dare call that puny.
The music is still nice, though.
Driving through blizzard conditions in the evening on Driveclub was truly, honestly terrifying.

Yeah not sure why people are posting fake photomode shots in a thread about real time gameplay graphics. They are two different things.
This page needs to be buried, actually have to use firefox again to post replies.
Ffffuck that. It's Super tense!
I'd probably pull over.

Very nice.
Yeah, but there's regular screenshots on here, too, like the ones I posted on this page.
Here are some more:

Ha, yeah. I thought the same thing.
DC is just on an entirely different level with the weather update. I mean, just look at this shit:

Photomode or gameplay, DC is on another level.
Can you link to those videos with egregious aliasing?
I guess that would make the case for why non photo-mode images should suffice? I know for my part, the thread was more about real-time than composed photo-mode shots. There are some flattering shots from other games that would compare well with these, weather or no.
That's why the majority of the DC shots in here are non photo-mode. I guess some people just like the artistic licensing that photo mode grants them, though. I personally prefer gameplay shots myself, and think that's what should be in this thread, but I understand why people do it.

I think minus the weather, Project Cars looks a bit better. But with weather I think DC has the edge. Both games look fantastic though, I'm very happy I'll get to play both of them.
Anything with a high bit rate and no scaling.
Check Gamersyde as they probably have high quality videos available.
edit: here, found the main shot I remembered

I think the onus is on you to pull frames from a video on gamersyde or anywhere else, to illustrate this aliasing crime of which you speak.
Also, it should then be compared with current footage, with or without weather, because I find they've done more than applied a weather patch.
Don't forget if there was awful aliasing in the game, it would be immediately apparent in any of the up-topic non-photo mode screen shots.
Posted a screenshot above. Also others have ahead proven there were no IQ improvements in the latest patch
