08.02.2023What about AC with CSP and SOL ?
BOT
07.02.2023Wow 8 years and still no game beats driveclub in rain graphics
black pewdiepie
07.02.2023you should make a video about The Best night In Racing Games – 12 Game Comparison
Mr.GuzattiGames
07.02.2023Look my channel!!! Grid mobile graphics modified. lol
PianoPlayer
07.02.2023Patch 1.15 upgraded the weather effects in GT7

07.02.2023This is an extremely unscientific rating system

07.02.2023Need DriveClub 2 on PC.

07.02.2023ACC definitely presents the water on the side windows more accurately than the other games. If you're driving in the rain and you don't have direct sunlight hitting your car, those water snakes are dark. Every other game had them bright and shining as if they were being hit by the sun at full force. If it's as cloudy as it would need to be for that much rain, you wouldn't have any direct sunlight, and as such, no bright spots on the water drops.

07.02.2023you miss GRID or GRID LEGENDS

07.02.2023GT7 gets a super important thing right:
The layer sorting of headlights/taillights/particle effects behind BEHIND the spray and fog. So many games have issues with certain elements of the game being seen through smoke and fog.

07.02.2023The puddles in gt7 are killers in disguise. You touch one slightly and youre meeting god. Even the ai end up in narnia if they didnt pit in time and arent on the dryish line. Makes swapping back to racing slicks scary if you even slightly brake wrong
Phani Mahadev
06.02.2023Funny how I expected forza motorsport to be on this list
marcellus cunningham
06.02.2023Man drive club to this day has the best weathers physics I’ve ever seen. The game itself still holds up very well today.
Edit: didn’t watch before I made comment
Driveclub was the first game lmao

06.02.2023Automobilista 2

06.02.2023AC better than GT7 any day .
Hades Boosted Media
06.02.2023You should have done Forza Motorsports 7

06.02.2023despite this, project cars 3 is still garbage.

06.02.2023Puddles.. one of the most important aspects of racing. :))

06.02.2023F1 2021 does have dry lines wtf
ola
06.02.2023Honourable mentions- GTR2

06.02.2023why i dont seen Need for speed shift ?! it would be 1st place

05.02.2023F1 2022 looks great with ray traced puddles on track on PC.
Dive Loop
05.02.2023Would be interesting how Grand Prix 4 from 2002 would hold up in this comparison. It is still often considered to have one of the best dynamic weather systems that even back then had stuff like drying lines and changing weather conditions.

05.02.2023Driveclub, calling it now.
Aaron
05.02.2023I still put Driveclub on top visually, GT7 has really impressive rain but the water droplets on the windshield don't look as good as Driveclub's. Either way, great video showcasing all of these game's rain effects – can't wait to see where games take us next.
prawat kanjanasrisunthon
05.02.2023Please compare Grid Legend too.
Michael Gakanga
05.02.2023Imagine for a second…the Driveclub devs come together to make a Driveclub 2.
But this time exclusively focused on Ray tracing as a showcase for the console's capabilities.
Because if you can trace rays, then you can create mist from tires that creates accurate drops on a car/ windshield
Then the still shots would be beyond amazing

05.02.2023Damn your intros are sick every time your “storytelling” is great!
Ryan EL FANI
05.02.2023F1 2021 DOES HAVE DRYING LINE!!!
James Mallett
05.02.2023project cars 2 needs to have another point taken off for the fact that the puddles only seem to affect your car and the AI can drive straight through them unaffected
bilbo storm
05.02.2023Nice video. I have to agree with some of the comments regarding Assetto Corsa with SOL/CSP probably being the best at visual effects. The best driving experience in the rain for me is AMS 2.
Barstool Preacher
04.02.2023Graphics don't make a good game
No Name
04.02.2023WRC 8 9 10 rain effects are amazing too!

04.02.2023rFactor in development since…. decades 🤣🥴

04.02.2023ACC visual weather transition and wipers are a result of the UE4 unfortunately.
Chester??
04.02.2023Drive club is scary realistic 💀
Steve Stevenson
04.02.2023Old video but a very unique one, and I have a suggestion if you feel like it: Dirt/mud engines in games. I remember Sega Rally on the ps3 having advertisements for how mud tracks can dry up dynamically in the sun and affect handling, maybe you know some games that cause mud/dirt to cake on tyres and affect handling and performance, or track conditions on rally circuits.
Sergey Akritas
04.02.2023I'd say Driveclub has at least one extra in a form of realistic rain/snowblinding effect at night. It affects your driving ability in a very natural way as your brain struggles to pick up the smallest hints of where you're going.
Dr. Jay
04.02.2023Thing I remember about Driveclub is the driving was horrible and it was always raining. Should've called it Rainclub
Rohan Natraj
04.02.2023Man I miss Driveclub so much. Game developers don't give much importance to rain sadly. There is something about driving in the rain that everyone loves. I really hope in the future they make a driveclub 2 with similar rain effects
BRUH
04.02.2023I really think that project cars 1 feels the best from the 3 games in the series. It might be me but yeah… Good video dude
Heath Dickson
03.02.2023The best drying line I've ever experienced was, believe it or not, in F1 2012. One of my most cherished sim racing memories is having a battle with a mate during a league race. We were both pretty equal in ability so it came down to who could keep to the drying line better than the other. Ever since then, one of the first things I would do when a new sim came out was try to set up a race that starts wet and begins to dry, just so that I could test the drying line. Unfortunately none of the F1 titles ever came close to whatever they did in 2012. Same for any other game I tested. I gave up a few years ago. RIP F1 2012 drying line model.

03.02.2023Drive club is the best

03.02.2023Dsilike for no inclusion of (regular) AC…. Yes it's a mod, but should still be included.
Ryan Claydon
03.02.2023There is no way GT7's rain looks better than DriveClub's. It looks so basic, cheap, and rushed.

03.02.2023as a race car driver i am still waiting on dev to implement water leking inside your car
Chris Trees
03.02.2023"The star of driving in the rain needs to be the rain hitting the windshield "… How that quote is… The star needs to be the physics.
Crammonds gp4 did better in the early 00s
ken kuriken
03.02.2023I don't know if it was noise in the streaming video or if it was an Easter egg thing in the game, but I found someone doing an ASMR stream of rain sounds on the GT7 Tokyo Expressway in the middle of the night with rain clouds that were about yellow, and after watching it for a while, the pitch black sky turned white like lightning and I once saw it light up. Still that one is a mystery to me.
Shane Parkes
03.02.2023I dont get it, iraving had a perfect 35/30 🤣

03.02.2023"One of these days were going to have a single game with the windshield of Drive Club, the weather system of Gran Tursimo 7, and the tire modeling of ACC".
But then it wont be a game anymore. 😢
