Probably my best shot that shows off how good DC is. The glare hitting the dirt on the screen just looks amazing.

Still quite early in the Driveclub career, do weather start popping up in races or is it custom race only? I have seen none of those lighting strikes or anything yet, they look incredible.

More for the DC thread, but you need the season pass I believe (or at least free tours AFTER elements) or to do the Startline tour which will have bits of the extra tours.
This is not the thread for that, but in the first DC tour weather was still not in the game. You will find it in other tours, custom or multiplayer races.

Ugh, so its DLC?
Ugh, so you'll shit on DC in any thread you can?
The Startline Tour is free and has some weather.
It was a patch. If you just create a single player custom race you can have all the weather you like.

You can quite easily experience the weather effects in custom races, multiplayer and I believe the free DLC.
On top of that, I'd argue that Driveclub has had some of the best DLC in any game I've played, and quite easily the best among its peers. I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for additional content.
Driveclub was the first next-gen game that blew my mind with its visual and attention to detail. I mean, it has a fucking mirage on hot roads. Who puts a mirage in a racing game?
It also has multiple weather pattern on a same lap at the same time which I haven't seen in any racing game yet. One moment it sunny, the its cloudy, then a sprinkle of rain that only wets a part of circuit, then sunny again. Even saw a double rainbow the other day, it was over a lake and appeared when it started raining while the sun was still up. Then it disappeared in the next lap because it stopped raining. Some incredible stuff.
Yay, my pic! *dead*
EDIT: double rainbow
Probably my best shot that shows off how good DC is. The glare hitting the dirt on the screen just looks amazing.
I still can't reproduce that effect on my pics of that game.
About the lightning reflection, actually it's just a white ball:

Gran Turismo 3 if I remember right. *edit* it was heat haze, not reflection so not exactly the same thing, sorry.

I remember thinking this was a next gen GT but I think its just a render for that car PD made. Either way I can't wait to see how the game looks. Like people have said before, GT still holds up. Stuff I would like them to improve graphically would definitely be the tracks. You can definitely notice premium and standard tracks even though such a classification was never made. I think the biggest trackside detail you use in racing games is foliage so they should try and improve that.

How is this shitting on it? Saw pics of amazing weather, said I haven't experienced it in campaign. Asked the people that would know.

Again gaffers are telling you this is not a thread for that and I believe he is reacting on your Ugh comment. Considering....

Oh no, i had an opinion. Like I said I haven't experienced any of these weather effects in the campaign. Maybe if I had seen those my opinion would be different. And that was replying to another comment. Like I am replying to you now.
This one got me fooled for about a second. I have yet to see a racing game come close to some of these shots. Too bad GT6 doesn't shine like that very often (if at all) during gameplay.

My choices:
I'm trying to find the most realistic one from GT6 that I saw a while ago......its near impossible to tell.

In that case there's only one case and only for a few seconds....
GIF's are not the same thing, as they're down sampled and do not show the proper IQ levels. But yes, I do agree the GIF, and GT in general actually, can look remarkably realistic at times. Hell, this video proves it. Still staggering even to this day.

Nice to have your real car in the game:

To be honest, i find driveclub boring as shit and i usually love racing games.
I thought about giving project cars a go however im skeptical about spending $100 AUD on a game that may be just boring pretty garbage.
Does anybody own both? Does project cars add any more....... excitement?

You clearly didnt play enough DC.
Pcars can get very intense and the driving sensation is excellent. Here is one enthusiastic review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke_Bg1xa6Ic

It is possible to dislike a game, you know. I thought Driveclub got old and boring very quick.

I remember that LFA Nurburgring shot and the debate it sparked about whether it was real or from GT5 despite GT logo being right there in the corner.
The poly count makes it obvious too. The exhaust ports give it away on their own.
DC is boring. Play FH2 and join the GAF group. On topic, this game has great graphics!

The low res reflections in the right mirror were the easiest to notice for me.
Already in it, lol. Been in it since launch.

Track bases racers might not be for you. Try an open world one like FH2.

Some of my shots that I think shows Driveclub really well.

Most people I come across who say this just played a couple of the early tours and didn't progress at all to the more exciting tours with the faster cars. It's not like Forza where they start you with the exciting stuff. For instance, If I'm not mistaken, the first race you do in FM5 is with the P1 and in Horizon 2 it's with the Huracan. Not saying what Forza does is a bad thing.

I agree with them and I completed the full Driveclub tour and about 80% of the DLC tours.
The attractiveness of GT definitely relies on downsampled images. These shots look much closer to what I see on my screen and it's nowhere near as pretty as the average Joe might think.

Amazing how well the game holds up. Looks pretty much next gen, especially lighting wise.
Gameplay screenshots and full resolution videos tell a far better story than random opinions, gif's and photo mode shots, which all essentially often give rose tinted views of things. You can't really get more honest than gameplay. We've discussed the tech for several pages throughout the thread, now we're just comparing how gameplay shots and videos stack up to one another.
Surprised that in the rain, even with two GTX 980's it still dips below 60fps...

its a pretty poorly optimized game

The image quality is better than pcars on xbone. Higher resolution, better AA and AF it seems.
