Graphically this looks immense.

But, I can't help but feel there's going to be some sort of a catch, some sort of a chink in the armour - it's all just too perfect at the moment. Ok, it's no sim - I get that, but PLEASE don't let this be bloody ridge racer HD, please make the cars feel like cars.

Hmm graphically im not sure about this game as much now. Gamersyde just uploaded about 8 1080p videos which is what that GIF is from below and to me they just looked a little flat and bland.
You can make most games look amazing in tiny GIFS but full screen they just didn't look as impressive as some of the footage iv seen before.

for example looks amazing but the new videos not so much.

Gone for the PSN pre-order! Topped up my wallet with the PayPal offer (which actually worked!), so in my eyes I'm getting it for £25, with money left over for the Abe remake

Yeah gonna check the Gamersyde stuff when I get home.

You really need to be downloading the full vids, streaming qual is not the same.

Mucho gracias!

I haven't got any driving games for my PS4 and haven't played any ages so I think I will just hook this up to the artery closest to my brain when I get it (drools and foams at mouth)

It does look good. Depends on how realistic the mechanics are for me.

Isn't Project Cars out quite soon?

Plainsong · 1 Oct 2014 at 18:11

Yes November 21st.

I cant help but feel that PCars is going to be too bland. Im sure they have put a lot of effort into the car models, the physics and the driving experience etc but from pictures and videos Ive seen every thing else looks under baked. For example, the tracks and environments look undecorated, they look simple with the bare minimum to call it a track. Look at DC and theres flags, banners, crowds, confetti, mountains etc etc. PCars may be basic and achieves what it set out to do - be a sim racer and not much else.

DC looks vibrant, PCars looks a bit Tesco Value you know.

Just watched the gamersyde videos and it looks really good graphics wise i just hope the handling is up to scratch too

Anybody actually had a chance to play the game yet ?

partial embargo lift today

Yet still no-one spilling the beans?

Must be good, look at the blabber mouths that are beta testing "The Crew".

No news is good news.

Any word on when this game will have 'weather' released for it?

sounds so ridiculous saying that about a game, but nowadays it just isn't that surprising. Soon every game will be effectively Early Access, whether they charge full retail or not.

Yeah it seems more ppl want to tell others how bad a game is and keep quiet when they know it's going to score well

The crew is just really poor in many departments and I was hyped for it

I decided I'd pick 2 racers between pcars Forza h 2 and drive club pcars is def one of them and I'm leaning more towards drive club than forza

It looks a bit average in that video...

Plainsong · 2 Oct 2014 at 12:00

We're just going to have to play it to know. Video capture just doesn't compare to what you see on your tv. The Gamersyde stuff is good for what it is but it still looks a bit ropey to me.

I don't know whether to get this retail or go for the upgrade...
