those screens are from the PC version though. The xbone version looks very blurry due to the slight up-scaling and AA they used. Not to mention the godawful frame-rate.
Driveclub looks good....but way...wayyyy too inconsistent. It is far too easy to get a bad shot of the game, in fact you almost have to try to get a good shot. Even in the images you posted it only looks ok, and you're someone who's defending it, not attacking it. The top one looks actually bad, the backdrops can be so low quality in this game. The cars have the best graphics/reflections, lighting is good but everything around them is hit or miss. Forza Horizon 2 might be slightly less technically impressive(what it's actually rendering), but it's open world, looks great, and you can almost never get a bad image of it. If you take the nicest Driveclub shots you can and others take the nicest FH2 shots they can, I can almost guarantee FH2 looks better most of the time. Not out of raw power, but out of art style and consistent game quality from beginning to end.

DriveClub (and most car games for that matter), don't stillshot very well during gameplay. That's why photomode exists in car games. But in motion, DriveClub becomes the best looking car game in existance as you get to appreciate the volumetric lighting, clouds etc, in real time. There is something distinctive about the games lighting and look that puts it far above any game I've seen tbh. Apart from Ryse perhaps. But I agree there are less than amazing parts to it like AA and AF.
For sure most games don't stillshot well, it's widely known. But even in motion (as I have played it) I can still see certain areas of each track that just don't hold up. Sometimes the game looks fantastic, other times meh, other times poor. It really depends on which track you are on, as a few other people on here have noticed. Technically, all of the effects are crazy good, like you said the volumetric lighting, and clouds are great. But the way it all comes together doesn't always work well, unlike FH2 which is super consistent IMO. Not to say that the two are directly comparable, but just in terms of how visuals look, I felt more impressed by FH2.
I think people are confusing art style and graphics. People should give out average frame rates as that is important to most people, a screenshot only tells half the story.
Even NFS Rivals craps all over those screens and it's an open world racer.
Yep. Those shots do look better. Better AA and AF. And everything pre-baked. But hey, if it looks good who cares? I think because DriveClub has a very dynamic GI, it doesn't always look consistent. NFS Rivals has a very saturated pre determined look and looks more consistently pretty than DriveClub. Even on 360, it maintains the consistency. But when the sun hits a certain spot in DriveClub, it really starts shining. That even happens in real life. But the fucking IQ and AF ruin it man. So annoying.
Is Pcars getting good AA on the console version? Also, isn't AF not very taxing on GPU's? Also though, I have noticed there is a real time physics engine with DriveClub. The confetti and leaves falling off the trees actually react to cars etc and the foliage bends when you drive over it. So it's doing a lot of things and we don't know how much more the PS4 is even capable of. The GI alone takes lots of GPU power.
NFS RIvals IQ is pretty poor out of the box as well, lots of jaggies (they're even visible in 4k) I's not all pre baked though, the game has time of day and weather change.
But overall it's very pretty to look at, especially for an early gen multiplat.
I'm not sure about the IQ of Project CARS on consoles, it might use MSAA but we don't know any specifics. The devs don't talk much about the details of the console versions.
TXAA is still on the roadmap but not released yet for PC.

So when is the release date for Pcars? Also, have you got DriveClub? If so, what do you think of the game? I'm personally liking it, but it simply lacks cars lol. I feel like I could unlock all the cars in one night.
November 21st. It's getting close and the devs are working double time to get it out on time. Hope they can make it.
I don't have a PS4 yet, was planning to pick one up later this year though^^
You can take a turd and mold it into whatever you want detail it and make it look like the most amazing thing ever. But when you play with it your still playing with a piece of shit.

Yes FreedomTroll, Ryse the PC version (which are the pics you are posting) looks better than anything on PS4 and X1 (becuz you arent posting the X1 version)
