Drive Club's dynamic weather...oooooh ahhhhhh

Holy shit!!! Makes Forza Horizon 2 look like a last gen game.

Cornfields??

The fun is in the racing, rallying, collecting and customizing of cars, what else would a racer be fun for?.

To be fair there are more videos of both games than the 15 second clip to judge.

But of course we will see when both games are released.

Alright, well i'll put it another way then, TDU's freedom with Forza's customization, performance and framework and PGR's handling.

That's what's different about Forza Horizon it takes what 3 other good/great car games do well and combines them in a very good package.

So while i don't agree with anyone declaring either better from any pre-release footage, out of the gate FH2 seems to have much better pedigree and more potential. DC seems to be all flash and no substance atm but i really hope i'm wrong.

Sure, I have Forza 4, its the same fucking thing. All these closed course racing games are the same boring garbage. Ill take Burnout over this shit any day.

the one thing that caught my eye is the raindrops move off the car with speed....in horizon 2 they dont move at all

Graphics look flat out amazing. Not a damn thing to criticize. They just need to ensure the gameplay and content is up to par. This may be the greatest fall ever for racing game fans.

Damn, whether looks good, worth the delay I'd imagine. Anyhow, I really would love to see what Evolution could accomplish on the PS4 if they tried to make a new Motorstorm game, I'd be more interested in that than Drive Club.

Can't really disagree with this. IMHO DC graphics are a 9.5, while FH2 is a 8.8. DC wins on looks, FH2 on content, but both are shaping up very well. Might be a review draw when its all said and done.

@chikenfriedrice: I bet you're thinking..

How so? I made a thread complimenting the game...the graphics looks dope. Let's see how that gameplay turns out.

I have a PS4, so I will get to judge both FH2 & DC when they come out.

Just watched some videos and always saw the cars driving through fields lol

It is.....I favor the Xbox but I am a gamer first. I won't hate on a PS4 game for no reason, credit where credit is due!

Holy crap the raining one looks real. That's just sick.

I remember F1 games on the PS2 that had a dynamic weather system that changed over the course of a race. I miss Studio Liverpool :(

LOL Weather DLC. Just LOL

FH2 has everything DC has but a lot more. DC and FH2 will both have online races. I know in FH1 there was a variety of online racing and not just straight racing. I do not know if DC will have a variety like FH does in online racing. FH2 has 4 times more cars, far more customization, weather on release, free roam, rally racing and more. Just being able to drive a new car around in free roam is a great help by itself. It is much easier to become comfortable with a new car for when you do race against players. You can also have a ton of fun in free roam such as my wife and I used to take cars such as bugatti veyron and see who could get the best jumps or fastest speeds before crashing. Plus there are events all over the map and free roam events.

No rain/water spray from the tires on the windshield and no wiper that I saw.

I think game looks great and I'm not a big enough racer fan to discern what it does great and not. A great idea by Sony to try to combat the forza, forza horizon frequent releases. This and GT alternating is a business move in kind, imo

@Desmonic: DC looks fucking awesome. Can't wait.

looking really appropriate

Yeh @slimdogmilionar was talking rubbish, DC is doing the same stuff; "...little details like rain forming puddles that can hold water, then dry out or get bigger depending on the terrain topology and changes to the temperature."

One of the quotes from the link seems to suggest it's in the game.

“…and your headlights are reflecting on the snowflakes ahead of you…”

"Oooooh ahhhh"? Naw more like "Oh hahaha". Looks downgraded but still ok.

The way i think it'll go down is like this...

• Graphics: DC (this is pretty much a certainty)
• Handling: Draw (pure assumption on DC's behalf but for arguments sake lets imagine they're identical)
• Customization/modes: FH2

So in this very basic and mostly presumptuous comparison it comes down to whether you'd prefer the prettier graphics or the deeper gameplay.

By that logic, both games are also going up against Mario Kart 8 this year. MK8 has a lead. That's three different types of racers, but it's worth considering.

Actually, Playground Games is the lead developer of the "Forza Horizon" games, Turn 10 does the Forza Motorsport (proper) games. Turn 10 gets some credit for creating the engine that Playground uses to make Forza Horizon 1 and Forza Horizon 2 and Turn 10 does provide support, but it's a Playground Games game. Just wanted to explain how it's possible that Xbox gets a Forza game every year since 2011. M$ stated that Forza will be an annual series between the two developers, like we saw with COD back in the day (Infinity Ward and Treyarch).

• 2011 Forza 4 360
• 2012 Forza Horizon 1 360
• 2013 Forza 5 Xbone
• 2014 Forza Horizon 2 360 + Xbone
• 2015 Forza 6? (Unnannounced, but expected since Horizon 2 hasn't released)

Yeah, that beats Project CARS. Shame about the 30 fps though.

calls this generic, hypes forza, then wonders why people consider him a clown, lol.

On topic: holy geezus that looks awesome.

this looks miles ahead of forza horizon 2 and ahead of PCars!

lol pc and XposBone!!!!

next gen starts when sony says it starts!!

30FPS is next gen? The game looks awesome graphically but cows tend to take things too damn far.

I see they are back to releasing 10 second clips. Delay inbound.

@chikenfriedrice: here we go pc spreadsheet crap and still nothing on bs pc beats a 400$ ps4

bb bb bbbut the 30fps

I don't like racing games but that sure is purdy.

My PC plays BF4 at 1080p/60fps, that beats the PS4
