The guy who talks about the DLC video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vTp6WWhMGuY) reminds me of Ewen Bremner:

Hype !! day one
i was just sayin maybe that MS employee had a point. if this game was some third party game for all systems nobody would give a shit. im not gettin either i honestly could care less which is better ( and that will always be subjective), but even the old Horizon looks way funner than this, this game could be the racing Goat for all i kno just making a prediction.
Looks like a blast to play. Hopefully the jaggies are just caused by YT. The overhead power lines look pretty miserable. Lighting is very nice, though.
lol. Perfect avatar quote.

I doubt Gamersyde can help, these videos are for IGN, Rushy would have to give new videos to GS I would believe.

TS500RS I believe. I think there is another one but not sure of the quality (not sure if there is another one).
No Logitech or Fanatec support thus far.

I was under the impression Sony was unimpressed with Motorstorm Apoc sales so I'm not sure when we will see those games again

There are a lot of "concerned" posters in here already.... Amazing how that works...
Start taking mental notes now, because it's usually the same characters; pretty sad actually. I can;t wait to watch the vids once I'm off my work PC.
If it wasn't an exclusive deal with IGN, he woudl probably send them over, shoot him a tweet and ask... It cant hurt...

I like the map, the mountain in the distance, looks moody... seems to have a good sense of speed judging from the videos. Everything else? It's another good looking racer, one of many... having a hard time getting excited about that tbh.

The silly nit picking when the overall quality and look of this game is just through the roof, drives me to distraction. I sometimes have to check I'm in the right thread because what people are saying and what I'm seeing are completely different. THIS LOOKS AMAZING.

Guys... GUYS... E3 is around the corner... they obviously wouldn't show the best right now. Calm down please.

Why are they on youtube, why is it exclusive to ign, the game still shines through that horrible compression but we need good footage and this is not good.

To be fair, the vids are really horribly compressed...
IGN, at least post higher qulaity vids on your site..
Yes, baffling, because these are the absolute last vids on the subject we'll ever see between now and October.
They're bloody intros to the features, that's all. Complaining for complaint's sake.

I believe his posts are pretty mundane.
Mundane means that it lacks excitement, and those vids kinda do. I never really paid much attention to the PGR games.
Pretty much. There is no other racing game that is doing the things this game is doing with real time lighting and reflections. Yet apparantly it looks no better than Need for Speed. The mind boggles.
These are IGN videos.

Yeah, these videos look dreadful. I don't know how people think it looks good or bad at this point. You can tell the lighting, reflections and locales will look good, but that's all.
EDIT: The gamma seems messed up on these videos too. It's like IGN is trying to make their exclusive video look awful.
These are terrible quality EVEN on YT standards!
That lighting engine does stand out even in the crap quality!

Wish we had better quality videos but I'm loving the lighting.

I'm going to attribute the game not looking as good to crappy compression for now.

Feeling the tension and focus of playing a racing game is a huge component of the enjoyment. The experiencing the "feel" of the physics model can also be a huge draw. I'd argue that for these reasons the gulf between watching and playing might be particularly large for this kind of game.
It's a realistic racer compared to kart racers or other arcadey racers like Wipeout. Maybe that's what he means.

Even though they are compressed, you can still see it's amazing.
I've just looked at their site and they've only got them up at 720p, so the 1080p youtube videos are really only 720p upscaled for youtube.

We have situation normal: DriveClub looks fantastic, while the Youtube video looks horrible.
The lighting model in DriveClub is a generation ahead of any other racer yet seen on next-gen consoles and this clearly shows in these two gameplay videos. The ambient (sun) lighting + car headlights give DriveClub a realistic look that no other console racer has yet captured. The track detail is phenomenal. Track detail is where most racers skimp, but DriveClub keeps adding layers of trackside eyecandy. You have to slow down the video to appreciate some of it, but it is all there. It has come a long, long way from last E3! Car sounds are excellent. Sense of speed also looked excellent.
Two feedback points for Rushy/Evolution:
1) I'm beating a dead horse, but please find a way to release high quality, high bit rate footage. Youtube videos continue to make your game look like a 480p racer.
2) Call the folks at Sucker Punch and borrow their SMAA antialiasing solution. With a good antialiasing solution DriveClub's image quality will very hard to match.

Do you play racing games? Do you enjoy GT, Forza, NFS? What about Horizon, PGR (although you said you didn't pay attention to this one) Ridge Racer, DiRT?
Any of those ring a bell, did you enjoy them?

No need to force us into thinking it looks amazing when there is a lot to be uncertain about.
My biggest worry right now is aliassing.
But yes. Lighting looks great. Even shadows seem to look good from what i van tell. Speed looks good. Environments..
Gran Turismo outlived its usefulness several games ago for me, since all of them are pretty much the same fucking thing. NFS games control like shit. Ridge Racer is my favorite racing franchise of all time. I haven't played the other games. Are you done calling me out now?
