@Johnnypenso Haven't kept up regarding the 'ghosting' issue, but is it only limited to replays or does it occur during gameplay as well?
I don't have the game...lol. It's the PS4 version anyway, no one has it but the devs and a handful of reviewers.

How about instead of all this bitching and moaning about everything already wait until you have the game yourself and see how it is then as none of these Ps4 videos are final builds.
Hell they may have sorted it already.

But seriously the things that are being picked on are so small it's laughable.
It's like buying a bloody snooker game and moaning about the red balls being slightly off colour. Jeez

Not bitching. Whinging.
 
Not that I preorder, but this uncertainty is certainly a good reason not do do it. Better to wait until you know for sure how it's going to look/play.

More like complaining that the surface is a mirror, reflecting all the balls on top of it :P.

Ah, alright. I thought it was known whether it was also prevalent during gameplay or not.

PS4 stream going on at the moment.
Very bad driver though.

Terrible, terrible driving indeed. All these schmucks who can't drive for #### get to play this on the PS4 before me is rather frustrating.

Whatever happened to PS4 being similar to High Settings on PC?

Looks incredibly blurry on the console version.

As regards purely the sharpness of the png stills from PS4 and PC.... what is the specific source of the PC images? In game export from PC to Png? From a rendered video?

PS4 image I assume was taken from the Gamersyde video file. It's 1.96 mb

What is the source of the image from the PC which weighs in at 3.61 mb?

Those sizes are purely what my phone saves them as which may well be adding further compression.

I saw those pics on screen and the lack of any jaggies, especially on the rear fins of the player car tells my that the PC image is downsampled a lot which IMO is much better than the claimed "high" setting.
I'm usind DSR 2.25 and SMAA Ultra and I still can see more jaggies than in this pic.
 
Ghosting. Ghosting ghosting ghosting ghosting ghosting.

When I'm dead Ima show you moaners real ghosting and haunt you while you sleep :mad:

Is it really that much of a problem? Really?
For me, is it a gamebreaker? Absolutely not!I would buy PCars regardless.
But it would be something that bothered me because effectively it would mean that several features in the replay system are broken on PS4 as far as freezing a replay and doing slomo ff's and rw's and there would be no chance of taking some types of screenshots. There is a reason these features are present you know, it's because a very great number of people use them otherwise SMS would'nt bother implementing it.
As I wrote in an earlier post, I don't think it's an issue though because Alan at Team VVV, who like many of us is a huge fan of replays and obviously also likes to pause and slomo them, well he paused in game on PS4 and there was no issue.
 
I have directly downloaded VVV's videos and the direct downloads say differently. Mine is the raw information, not filtered through YouTube. It is possible to pause and see no ghosting, but only when there is not a lot of side motion or you aren't moving as fast along the track. But at high speed and when there is side motion, the effect is unmistakable. Maybe this is caused by the recording process and not evident in game, but it most definitely is there when paused on WMP.
Yes, when WE pause the video. You're not saying that this ghosting/blurriness is evident when Team VVV pauses are you? I think this is only an issue with the recordings and will be fine in the actual game. Alan at Team VVV constantly mentions what a great looking title this is on PS4, if these things were a problem you can bet he would say but obviously what we see on the recording is not present when playing the game.
 
Yall must be an eagle eyed bunch cause I downloaded the gamersyde/VVV video of Imola in the Alpine and I cant for the life of me see that double effect when playing the video, only while paused (then its of course very obvious, though).

The game will be unplayable otherwise if this ghosting is during gameplay and will give dizzy feeling while playing :indiff:

easy everyone lol...right... This is Game in Edinburgh UK. I went there to change my pre-order from Pcars to Witcher 3. I will be going digital with Pcars, actually I am downloading it right now.
Right the game...it was just a demo locked to practice, 250 laps. I couldn't do a race unfortunately, but the game looks really good on PS4. I went to Silverstone GP on Formula B, tried the helmet cam which is really awesome cuz it gives you a different feel of the track, really nice! I ran about 5 laps and decided to leave before the store staff kicked me out lol. Ah, nearly forgot to mention that it was not possible to change settings either (apart from weather) so I don't know if traction control etc were on or not, but I can tell you that the difference between cold to warm tires is gigantic! you guys should take it easy on the first lap and a half!!

Cool! @kkdrummer Was that in St. James centre? I work the opposite end of town but I'm sure I can make it there and back in my lunch break :)

Hi kkdrummer I know Xbox guys are pre-downloading early as such a huge download. I have pre ordered the other day on PS4 the digital copy but I can't seem to find anywhere to start downloading it. Do you mean just purchasing it pre-order or has it let you start to download and store ready yet? p.s New to this digital download thing (I'm old school who has had every game on cassette tape/cartridge/floppy/cd and cd disc since pole position ;) )
 
Xbox store let you pre-order it and then pre-load it. When it comes to release time all you'll need to do is download the day one patch and then you're all set.
 
Review embargoes should lift on 6th of May, so we can expect more information at least two days before the release. Shame that there is a national holiday on 8th of May in Czech Republic, hope I will not have to wait until Monday. That would be one long weekend. :)
