Is the rain effect's visual quality bothering you?

I have had that problem as well with the rain. The white flashes on the windscreen. Felt like I was going to have a seizure or something. It's really noticeable on the x2010 when hitting a kerbstone. Kind of unfortunate cause I enjoyed the cockpit view in the rain until that.
 
i LOVE the rain in GT5 when driving from inside a premium car. i mostly drive in "bumper-cam" but once the raindrops start falling i get inside. the visuals in race-07 for rain look better but the visibility is still too good IMO. in GT5 it looks very similar to the way it looks during F1 races on the "t-cam"; almost blinding (remembering korea 2010).

judging from the godly picture of NPH, your assessment is fairly accurate.
 
yep the rain is pretty ugly and low res, I saw it in the first youtube video, but no people thought it was the youtube quality :P
 
Apart from the AMG challenges I'd not done a wet event so I was shocked when I saw how bad the graphics were in a packed race tonight....jaggies were...err...VERY jagged! The game is really does look half-finished at times.
 
Yeah I think the rain effects are pretty ordinary. The rain drops look like cr#p and they don't even interact with the windscreen wipers. What was the point of all that effort to implement switcheable wipers if they don't even do anything? Yet another failed feature, like NASCAR and the TG Test Track.

The rain in F1 2010 looks 10 times better.
 
I noticed that the wipers don't really push away the rain and make it clear enough to drive, so I'll stick with bumper cam.

I wouldn't call the rain in GT5 "ordinary" so much as "sub-standard". They haven't even managed to match what Bizarre Creations did with PGR4 three years earlier on Xbox 360. The rain drops in GT5 don't even look like water, but rather more like translucent sequins of some sort and are laughably crude.

GT5's abysmal joke of rain:

PGR4's rain that actually looks like water droplets and are actually wiped away by wiper blades:

F1 2010's outstanding weather, complete with puddles of standing water, drying lines that form, track dampening as it rains more and drying as the rain lets up, et cetera:

All the mods behave the same way, as niky has kindly demonstrated. Tough to the point of unfair? Probably. Ignore it? Good idea.
 
First time I saw black rain was in the formula race at Suzuka and I thought someones engine had blown up. :lol:
 
I think "ordinary" and "sub-standard" have pretty similar meaning in this context, but yes your videos highlight the point perfectly.

Everyone at PD must work with blinkers on to think that what they produced compares to what else is out there. Imagine how good F1 2011 will look...
