ries 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

@Bold very interested how this will turn out

@Italic very happy about that :D

That still sounds just bonkers to me. How in the hell have they managed that?

This game will be absolutely amazing.

well, photorealism  has to wait minimum one more gen (what i understand as that, i know it doesn't have to be like reality) but looks really awesome. i prefer sims but as long as it is not too much arcade like nfs underground and more like a pgr or something similar i will probably like it a lot.

The emphasis on teams is very interesting. I really hope it works out because I love that idea.

I will be the Ace of Team VGC.

Higher res textures, with more RAM on the GPU you can show higher res textures models without any lag, 

this is what they're aiming at when they said "Not just texture" 

again with the lens flare  that looks like a nuke exploding in the background in these modern games  =/ 

I blame Witcher 2.

Sounds like the racing game for me. I don't want something arcady but I don't want a hardcore sim, both are fun at first but get old fast for me. This seems like a balance I can enjoy for a long time.

Sound likes very interesting. And this also seems like a balance I can enjoy for a long time.
