I liked this a lot as a concept but always felt the execution let it down. The way it looks and the distinction between the light and dark areas always just looked odd to me.

Also the fact that only the Plaza seems to be effected like this and none of the levels was a bit strange

The volumetric cloud and fog in Skyrim (the first release at that!) really blew me away. I can't think of another console game before Skyrim that did "three dimensional" cloud and fog as well as it did.

Driveclub really was an amazing looking game

It really was.
I think it could have been turned into one of the best driving series as the multiplayer was great fun and seeing it pushing the PS5 to the max on those tracks would have been something special.

Also the PSVR2 version could have been a perfect showcase :wub:

It looks bad the way it starts and I never played enough of the game to see it look better

That's a really great shout, Jawa. It didn't immediately come to mind but as soon as you mentioned it, my brain went "YES"!
