After playing driveclub so much the visuals do look really bad. I hope they improve them before release. Those trees make the game look like it came out on PS2.It will be hard to top a 30fps game with 60fps one.
Gameplay wise it looks great though, I hate that camera angle but I could tell the controls look good. I want to see a gameplay shot of a car view now though.
BTW looks like the dinamic climate/weather system will be reveled next week at 24hrs Nurburgring.
