Comparing games can be fun, and there’s really nothing wrong with it when you pitch against one another two games (or two versions of the same game) that have enough in common to be actually comparable.
That's not the case with Driveclub and Forza Horizon 2.
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.
Driveclub was a headline game at the start of the PS4’s life. A fabulous game – eventually - but what now, with the servers turned off? Is it worth your time? JDR starts its engines in today’s Brutal Backlog.
Bikes expansion might be one of the most underrated games of last gen. Incredible driver and bike animations + DC weather is craze.
Cultured Vultures: We won't stop until everyone appreciates how brilliant Driveclub is/was.
i went to the article and theres only a couple racing games, cant find the button to move page on through all the adverts.
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.
Both look good, but to say you "can't compare them" is absolutely inept. Other than one being open world and one a circuit racer, I don't really see how they are "completely different." Both are aiming for a social racing experience. Just because one of them offers much more content doesn't make them completely different. I would say cod and battlefield are more different than these 2 games and they get compared all the time.
@abriel everything you can do in driveclub is available in horizon. If they are SOOO different why is that? Also, you are talking about "graphics" people are comparing gameplay and features ... whatever floats your boat though.
EDIT2: So, despite horizon offering ALL of the same things driveclub has, because forza horizon has a larger content and feature list they can't be compared? Isn't that the point of comparing games? The point of comparisons IS to look at differences in games, yet you claim games having differences makes them unable to be compared. Like I said BF has larger maps, ballistic physics, no killstreak rewards, slower movement speed, vehicles, etc. Yet it gets compared to COD (and fairly so) all the time.
One is open worlded the other is racing acrade sim, enough said!
Being completely honest this sounds like some damage control because in terms of content and features it's no contest. Being slightly different hasn't stopped people from making comparisons before, hell it was so bad people compared Titanfall to infamous:ss. If Driveclub had more than graphics people would be comparing the two to no end. All in all people don't want to compare the two because FH2 sounds like a much more complete game.
@OsirisBlack you are obviously trying to bait me, you know darn well DC does not have more cars.
Driveclub is a fantastic graphical showcase and I will buy it, but Horizon 2 is my most awaited game.
Driveclub seems to be the Titanfall of racing games. Yeah it looks great its just very barebones content wise.
