It's just me or it seemed like they changed the player? Cause the one that played in the begin was terrible lol but in the mid of gameplay it just changed lol... Good Btw.

mafiahajeri3941d ago

Yeah lol they told him to GTFO. The game looks great love the sense of speed and the draw distance is beautiful.

Side note: oh no you can post pictures using the cam just like burnout were going to get a lot of pictures of... Ermm ... You know what I mean...

Fil1013941d ago

Yep you'll always get alot of dicks playin no matter what game you play lol.

Reverent3941d ago

When gaming online, you're always gunna get a few dicks and assholes. The easiest thing to do is just give them the finger and turn the other cheek.

BiggCMan3941d ago

Is it just me, or did anyone else think this game would be more on the realistic/simulations type driving like Gran Turismo? I hadn't really seen any gameplay until yesterday and today, and now I've noticed that the game is not so much a simulation like I thought.

It plays sort of like Forza, where it's half and half, so it's easy to learn and have fun. This is not a bad thing, I just thought for some reason that it was gonna be more like Gran Turismo's driving physics that are very realistic.

Those graphics are absolutely gorgeous by the way, truly, TRULY impressive. Unlike Gran Turismo, the backgrounds are also as impressive as the car models. This game looks to be a real treat as a launch title, can't wait for it.

PS4's launch is honestly the greatest I've ever seen, with Killzone, Knack, and Driveclub headlining it, and on the side you have Watch Dogs, Black Flag, and other HUGE third party titles. Amazing start to next-gen.

DARK WITNESS3941d ago (Edited 3941d ago )

From what I have seen and heard about the game it's kind of close to PGRish which is sort of half sim, half arcade.

I don't see it as a bad thing at all. We already have the GT's and Forzas, there also feels like there is a lot of need for speed/burnout type races but none that really bridge the gap the way pgr did. it's about time we got something on that level.

thats the reason this is one of the games I am most looking forward to.

PGR had some good open city space so it's easy to see how it could evolve into something like this.

BiggCMan3941d ago

Exactly! Look at all the people downing my comment just cuz I said the word Forza -_- The immaturity, I swear. All i'm saying is that it's not realistic or simulation like I originally THOUGHT it would be. I didn't say anything negative, damn. It's not false by saying it's similar to Forza, or even PGR like you said. People are so sensitive.

sarcastoid3941d ago

I don't think it's because you mentioned forza, it's probably because they've said from day one this isn't simulation. I still don't agree with the downvotes you're getting but that may be where they're coming from.

GameCents3941d ago

People just prefer not to listen to an uneducated an inexperienced person on the subject of Forza Motorsport.
It has been said a bunch of times that Forza Motorsport has a host of different settings, including all assists of to simulate real driving. People like you like to ignore this and use its accessibility against the series even though it is actually a great thing.

Forza can be half-arcade half-sim, but it can also be full sim depending on the player's preference. How hard is that to grasp?

abzdine3941d ago

Forza is more on the Arcade side of the simulation (if i can put it like that), DriveClub is a pure arcade game only made to have fun with, not think for hours how to tune the cars.

Aceman183941d ago

from day one they said they weren't going to be like Gran Turismo. i will get this game because it looks fun to me.

First guy i seen that didn't run into that wall...

LOL_WUT3941d ago

The lighting looks soo good definitely looking forward to this game ;)

RM-TatoTiburon3941d ago

looks good, nothing special. I like the photo option and the lighting

BiggCMan3941d ago

It's off camera for one. The texture of the car models and the lighting are just incredible. If that is nothing special to you, then most games must have bad graphics to you.

Belking3941d ago

It looks good but not as good as Forza 5 at this point.

HammadTheBeast3941d ago

Then again, what's shown is pre-alpha.

Belking3941d ago

Sorry dude but that is not pre-alpha.

HammadTheBeast3941d ago

According to the developers what was shown was 35% complete...

TXIDarkAvenger3941d ago

Implying the full game will look better than Forza 4.

Belking3941d ago

That still doesn't mean pre alpha. Now way they are showing pre-alpha for footage of a titles that launches in 4 months.

60FPS on PS5: Unofficial PS5 'FPS Boost' mods are radically improving PS4 back compat

Digital Foundry : Whether it's via FPS Boost or bespoke software upgrades, backwards compatibility on the current-gen consoles delivered an unexpected delight - the ability to liberate older console games from their 30fps limits, running them at 60 frames per second or even higher. FPS Boost did the business for Xbox Series consoles on an impressive range of titles, but there was always the sense that PS5 could do more. It's a hunch that checks out as a range of frame-rate unlocks are available for PS5, covering many must-have games - the major caveat being that only exploitable consoles running on older firmwares are invited to the party.

you love to see new life being breathed into older titles but damn the process to get there. It should be automatic that these work for everyone... not just those who exploit their systems. Really wish Sony and MS would keep this program going officially.

Psychonaut8598d ago

Damn this sucks. I want this shit so bad, but I’m not jailbreaking my console. And frankly I shouldn’t have to. I’m not a tech person, but is it really that hard for developers to unlock the framerate? Or would that have to be a large patch?

dveio98d ago (Edited 98d ago )

"but is it really that hard for developers to unlock the framerate?"

I guess it's not.

But it has become a profitable business if you do so.

So no one would pay for only the framerate patched to being unlocked. So studios need to offer more than that.

But this would take more time, polishing and would cost more money. So they shy away, but won't unlock the framerate, either.

That's just my personal assumption. But from what I can comprehend technically, it shouldn't be difficult to unlock framerates via a patch for older games.

... if it hadn't became a business.

RaidenBlack98d ago (Edited 98d ago )

frame-rate unlock should be free ...
We've seen many devs offer free patches and updates to pretty old PC titles, even bonuses ... so why can't devs offer the frame unlock patch for free (in consultation with the platform-producers) for a title from just a generation earlier?

Einhander197298d ago

RaidenBlack

"frame-rate unlock should be free ..."

Obviously the result of that thinking is that developers aren't even going to do it.

If they had been allowed to charge $5-10 you would see incentivized developers doing it way more often.

People just always want everything for free, but it's not free to make the patch, people have to code it then other people have to test it, and there will always be other costs involved.

If people want dollar store gaming then expect to get what you pay for.

shinoff218397d ago (Edited 97d ago )

Raiden I might be wrong but last I thought it cost money to put patches out on consoles.

As far as me paying for it, I'm not all that interested tbh. Not enough to pay for it with older games, and newer games have been pretty decent about it for the most part.

dumahim98d ago

Sounds like the modder has to go in to make changes to unlock it on a game by game basis. "Simple" enough to do it unofficially, but to have it done officially, they need someone to go in a make that change, put out a patch and put it through certification, which I believe is not necessarily a cheap thing to do. It's questionable if going through this would then give them enough sales to make it worthwhile.

Inverno97d ago

Many games still have physics tied to framerate, i think it's cause they wouldn't want to go in and do anything extra. Then there's the 10 dollar upgrades they rather charge. The problem is that there's no compromise, cause if I could mod my PS4 and all I'd lose is online play then id jailbreak it immediately. Mods have done so much for PC games and they could do the same for consoles, but manufacturers hafto be willing to compromise.

shinoff218397d ago

It's not to hard to do and there's youtube videos that break it down really well. ANyway most of us here arent able to break are console anyway due to being up to date on firmware from playing

Chocoburger98d ago

Yep, this sucks having to require a jailbreak for something that should be standard in our industry by now. I learned my lesson when PS4 was jailbroken and I didn't keep a console on low firmware for years, but now I'm holding onto two low firmware PS5s specifically because there are features I'll be able to do that you can't do on official firmware, so this will pay off for me soon enough.

Jin_Sakai97d ago

It should be a sin to let these games sit and be stuck at 30fps.

EazyC97d ago

RDR 2 not getting a 60FPS patch for PS5 was a crime.

Are there even more than 20?

purple1011198d ago

i went to the article and theres only a couple racing games, cant find the button to move page on through all the adverts.

purple1011198d ago

ah its changed to a video now, strange, but il take it

Dfooster1197d ago

Dirt rally doesn't even make the list? Errm OK then.

Driveclub is over rated as well, with middle of the road handling and the 30fps killed it upon arrival for me.
