Killzone SF engine has IMO produced the best-looking games this generation so far.

Whoops forgetting a k there I meant 250k polygins pro car, the exhaust fire looks horrible though which still counts as fire.

Ah, I never play in 3rd person view. The exhaust on other cars looks a bit cartoonish indeed, yet not that noticeable.

Night races are the best so far, getting almost blinded by your own headlights when you drive too close behind another car. Though while it's a great effect, mirrors of other cars reflecting your headlamps back at you don't work like that. (Unless all your opponents set their mirrors that way on purpose lol) The corner of your eyes should instead get blinded from the car behind you yet that peripheral lighting can't be simulated without a few external flash lights. Racing in a full pack at night in heavy rain or snow is a true challenge of skill and track memorization, so awesome when you nail it.

Normally I don´t play in third person, since it feels weird, although I think Driveclub looks best in the morning with dynamic weather. Driving at night sure is challenging, since the game isn´t overly bright during nights and you get blinded by (to) many things. I normally race with the hood cam since the 16:9 aspect ratio doesn't give me enough oversite, and sometimes I play dascam but with heavy perception that's nearly impossible. Once you know the tracks and the car you're driving in (yes they are all pretty much individual cars which react differently) well enough night racing is fun and damn rewarding. Here's hoping for the sequel or motorstorm with that engine, with the settting of the second part with lava and water.
