The cars just don't match the environment at all. They look extremely out of place IMONope in a world of Forza Horizon
Depends what you're looking for. It's not trying to be sim racer.
It isn't. For all the effects it's able to display it also has sub-par IQ (blurriness, grainy filtering, etc).
It's also 30 fps with a lot of post processing it actually gave me headaches.
Forza 7 is immensively superior since 2017.

It doesn't even come close to Forza Horizon 4 in 4k/hdr.
Forza Horizon 4 is the 2nd best looking game of this gen after RDR2.
Gran Turismo Sport has nice lighting and car models but those PS2 backgrounds (Colorado springs track) and 2D trees just don't do it.

30 fps + poor IQ + a ton of shit going on made this game kinda ass to play though. I could never judge corners properly and ended up having to play on easier difficulties.
Spent hours in that thread. Also remember Loudninja weather update "oh lawd"
It was one beautiful game. Shame about Evo.
So bummed Evo got shuttered, especially before they could drop a Pro patch with HDR. Game is still stunning.
Nah. It was the best looking at some point in this gen, but not so much now.
This is a way more accurate representation of how driveclub actually looks when you play it.
DC looked great for its time but there are a truck ton of details that simply don't hold up these days.
Both Horizons?
ANyway. Just in case you forgot what driveclub actually looks like:
The weather and lightning is amazing of DC. It can look very realistic at times.
Sense of speed is also great for a 30FPS title. It was my favorite game of this generation for a long time but the overall package of Horizon 4 is better. Also the 60FPS option on Xbox X is what keeps me coming back.
I hope the horizon series are going for a more realistic look on the next generation of consoles. Graphics, lightning and weathersystem from DC in combination with the open world and driving physics from the Horizon series would be Ideal.

I know exactly what driveclub looks like and its not that cherry picked image that literally every person in every thread has been using for 4 years now
Please stop posting this "cherry picked" screenshot, the game looks nothing like that, and I've platinumed it plus all its expansions.Both Horizons?
ANyway. Just in case you forgot what driveclub actually looks like:
I have put hundreds of hours in Horizon 3 and 4 on PC with mostly ultra settings, and whilst the Horizon is cleaner looking, it lacks the atmosphere and weather effects of DC.
And I'm going to get a lot of shit for this from the "omg racing games should be 60fps+ crowd", but I've played A LOT of racing games in my life, and DC is one of my top games when it comes to sense of speed.
It won't look like that when playing. At all. Also Driveclub is THE game that conveys the best feeling of speed to me. I love GT Sport and it does give a great sense of speed but somehow nothing does as Driveclub does.Both Horizons?
ANyway. Just in case you forgot what driveclub actually looks like:
Certain lighting conditions can make the game look really dull and exacerbate the IQ issues even more.
The game just desperately needs a Pro patch. Firing it up on a 65inch 4K TV really does make the game look very mediocre. It's just a really soft looking game even on a 1080p screen. I remember they did improve the AA in the game in some later patches though.

lol always the same pic...
Driveclub is 30fps.
Edited this GIF longer because people had a problem with it
Forza 7 to compare... the rain on the windshield is... a choice.
Forza 7 is 60fps.
It would be embarrassing if they looked the same.
"debate" LOL
The only time I was ever impressed with DCs visuals was during heavy weather. The weather effects are great but everything else is pretty average. And now that im no longer on a little 32inch 1080p monitor and gaming on a big 4K TV, the jaggies are way more pronounced.
As so many others have said, gifs can make pretty much any game look great.
DC can both look as good as any other racing game, but also it can look like the worst thing ever on some circuits. It's far too inconsistent to call it the best looking game overall. There's also the fact that they didn't improve it for the PS4 Pro, so the IQ will suffer even more at 1080p.
In my opinion, FH4 is the current king when it comes to graphics in a racing game, they really improved the lighting compared to the previous games.

Ya'll are fuckin crazy wtf. The fps stuff gets really fuckin stupid sometimes
lol
So...no one in England owns expensive cars and drives them around the countryside?
The current art style colour palette Horizon uses is fine and half the appeal of that game. The skyboxes look ridiculously good with the pastel colours, especially in winter conditions. They definitely need to upgrade the weather effects in that game, the rain in Horizon 4 looks pathetic compared to DriveClub.
No, that is utter bullshit.
Here is accurate representation of how Driveclub looks when I myself played it and recorded the videos.
Those gifs are accurate. Sure, AA could be better, but the aliasing is mostly visible when stationary. When driving, TAA is applied that makes the IQ look good enough.
For me the combination of lightning, track detail and weather effects is unparallaled this gen in racing games. Other games might be better technically, but DriveClub wins on the overall for me.
