I think what I'm getting at is it's one thing to do shiny like that (the environment and lighting) on a replay and another to do it while hurtling down the road at 120mph.

it were a real time demonstration, full games in first person, thats how it looks.
(not a replay).

Mod74

So when you're playing the game your view choices include passenger seat, rear wheel and across rear bumper? Like in the video on the first page? Or are they quite obviously replay angles, like I said.

That brings back memories! I still hanker after a 3DO style game. They could have come so close with The Run but completely blew it with tiny stages, huge loading times and that ridiculous plot nonsense. I reckon I played NFS3 far more than the rest of the sequels on PS1. I was Johnny come lately to Porsche though. Didn't pick it up at launch but a few years later, but I played NFS3 until my fingers bled! To think this used to be cutting edge!

Might be interested in picking up EDGE for the first time in years.

OPM UK DETAILS AND Q&A.

Tries to showcase many PS4 features and strengths
Not about smashing others off the road, but not exactly a sim either
lighting and reflections off of car are "spectacular"
Heavy social integration
Emphasis on team helps bring accessibility as opposed to outright competition for top spot

Q&A with Matt Southern, Col Rodgers, and technical director Scott Kirkland

They talk about their roots as a sim developer with WRC and Eurofighter Typhoon
Evolutions first involvement with the PS4 started in 2008
Dualshock 4 started development in 2010
High speed in DS4 gyros allow extremely accurate steering in racing games
Photorealism is a huge goal for Drive Club
Massive amounts of particles, realistic atmospheric effects, high attention to detail
Focus on owning and being a part of a racing team, owning very valuable carst
"Powerful low level access" of GPU
Material based lighting engine
"Flecked" metallic paint.
Woven carbon fiber, as opposed to just a texture.
"...diverse array of rich environments"
Detailed driving surfaces
Environment examples: roadside grass, scrub, memorable landmarks, stunning skies, staggering vistas
Extensive driver animation
Fully dynamic lighting for time of day effects
Streaming and spectating is in
Regarding DS4 again stiffer trigger springs smaller deadzones
Improved rumble
Touchpad used for navigating UI easily
Evolution Studios compared PD to a 106-piece orchestra while and themselves to a rockband. Dedicated to uniting people in bringing speed on "roads in the real world."
When asked about Forza and other MS franchises, they repond "If we aren't first or best, we aren't happy."
Sights of inspiration come from movies like Senna and Drive

Motorstorm never appealed to me, but to see them give up and do a safe A.N Other tarmac based licensed car poly porn is a bit depressing.

[Deleted User]

whats A.N.?

Mod74

A.N. Other.

Another.

[Deleted User]

ah right.

they said its 'the game theyv always wanted to make'.
(they always say that though.)

i still think itll be good though, it looks fun and stunning to look at.
(we like the shinies to show what our new systems can do right)

the another one can be said about a lot of games though, forza 5 is more forza.
killzone is more killzone.
even tit anfall is a lot like killzone 3s mp (mechs and infantry) but with added brink style free running.

i think its the new features of all these games that will make or break them,
social features on drive club, titanfall for example.

too early to judge yet for me, but id like it to be good.

Matt_82

Motorstorm wasn't popular/good enough to stick it up as a launch title again. Safe is smart for a launch title. Show off what the system can do to get the money from the early adopter mugs.

I would have been more interested in a Motorstorm title though. Pacific Rim was genuinely great fun online. Straight up sims bore me to tears.

[Deleted User]

its supposed to be an arcade style racer though in a sims pants.

beano

Not really get much from it though if they're giving it away on PSN?! EH?!

acemuzzy

MotorStorm was awesome
MotorStorm PR was awesomer
Not sure what to make of this - the arcadiness was what i loved and this doesn't seem to have nearly so much...

I_R

There's still that chance for someone to do a proper TDU (who made the first Test Drive? -

Spoiler:

)rip-off, only nice looking and with decent handling. This could be it.

Mod74

I thought The Crew was leaning more into TDU territory. Except with vaguely exciting things to do.

I'm a sucker for all these things anyway, but it did look a bit more ambitious. I preferred the style as well, although I'm probably in a minority there. On a realistic note, Ubisoft doing a huge on-line racer is probably a recipe for disaster.

You probably shouldn't ever demo anything but a race in a racer. That takedown mode looked awful.

[Deleted User]

i thought the crew looked shit!

Mod74

I thought it was one of the more interesing things all day. Certainly more interesting than the "same game, moar graffix" a lot of the day involved.

beano

The Crew looked better than this.

[Deleted User]

i didn't like the takedown style thing, or the style of the vehicles.

what i like about this is the arcadeyness (like burnout), every road, corner etc is a challenge to win (like burnout), it looks fun to play, (like burnout).

the crew just looked like it would bore me, id rather they had done another driver.

Mod74

It's probably safe to assume The Crew isn't going to be just taking down an armoured van over and over.

yeah.....I'm HOPING for good things from this title - it will at least look gorgeous on a new 4, but not fussed about a "cartoon" takedown mode for a game that looks so ultra realistic. Just be cool to hoon around a la TDU but with better graphix maaaaan!!!

Howdy, Stranger!
