A lot of racing-simulation games put equal emphasis on drizzling the car porn along with the actual driving experience. Now the genre’s new core pillar is social interaction. DriveClub, from Motorstorm developer Evolution Studios, earned a staring role at Sony’s PlayStation 4 announcement event for an attention to fine detail that bordered on outright lust … and a focus on collaborative, asyncronous gameplay that drops you into an actual racing team of friends facing off against other player teams. “We’re making the game we’ve always wanted to make,” said game director Matt Southern.
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.
I will take a stab at it and say that it will have a lot to do with platform. Many will go ps4 if tbey have one. But this also taps into the interesting thing about next gen...social interactivity. If u can play a game while watching youtube or take video and post on facebbok etc. It will be awesome. I loved in dragons dogma how u could take snapshots and gamers held competitions for best pics taken while killing beasts. The more interactivity between consoles, smartphones and tablets, and different social apps, the better. Theres also a mention about clubs. I wonder why thks can't be taken further. U hav friends lists, but now I am sure there will be more features for groups of ppl. Many shows today show twitter comments. Imagine if u could twwet at a friend playing a different game or the same one. The possibilitkesr endless.
Still not sure about this game. It looks beautiful but from what the dev said during the PS4 conference, I'm worried its going to be too much of a social game, than a proper racing game.
Hopefully GT on PS3/4 will fill my racing sim. gap. I found GT5 to be very underwhelming, it just doesn't compare to 3 and 4 on the PS2 besides in terms of graphics.
It's Evolution. The gameplay will be top-notch. Auto Club Revolution looks pretty good, but I think Project C.A.R.S. looks a heck of a lot better. ;)
I can't compare neither since I don't own a PC and Drive Club isn't out yet.
I tried ACR and its an all out arcade racer. Its not my type of game. Driveclub looks interesting but if theres no single player career than I'm not interested
