Last year was a great year if you are a fan of driving games. It saw the release of titles like rFactor, Forza Horizon, Ridge Racer Unbounded, Need for Speed most Wanted and Test Drive Legends. The first half of this year has been a bit barren for driving games but with the launch of a new generation of consoles and return of some fan favourites to the current gen, the second half of 2013 promises to be one hell of a ride.
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.
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?
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.
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.
Racing simulator games are more realistic than ever. Here's a list of the best racing simulator games if you need a Holiday rush.
Well... you can say anything but the fact is that the most anticipated is GT6... bigger user base.
"The best way to describe it is that the game is simply breath-taking to look at while running at a smooth 1080p/60fps. Realism was also a driving factor in the development of the game’s physics which are being ironed out with help from science and technology firm Calspan."
-Its Turn 10, love their work.
I can't wait to see how Drive Club is shaping up at Gamescom.
I'm not really into racing games so I'm not commenting...oh wait.
I want them all! Damn my wallet hurts already there are so many games coming out that look so good! :)
