damn, now my dualshock 3 is sticky. game'' looks awesome.

abzdine3886d ago

yes and notice the speed as well!!
i cannot wait to try out the next gen social features of this game.

NewMonday3886d ago

the new GamesCom presentation is giving positive buzz for this game, DriveClub, Killzone and inFAMOUS are setting the bar for next gen console graphics

and LOL at bitter sour grapes comments, it like fans of losing teams yelling to Michel Jordan "you suck"

@Darkcaos

There is no "gen" for PC. Hardware is constantly upgraded and tech is always changing.
When people say "next gen" they are referring to the next wave of consoles. Hope that helps.

Looks good for a game in alpha code still.

thechosenone3886d ago

How I wish these devs would release true 1080p source video instead of this crap. Although the game looks amazing you can't really appreciate all the little details in this blurry mess.

badz1493886d ago (Edited 3886d ago )

I like how they focus on the littlest of details like the slight reflection of the car's dashboard on the front glass...many won't notice but it's looking very neat and realistic for those who do notice and yeah...for those who drives a lot like me too!

p/s: I drive on average 80-100 km per day btw

duckcaos, stop crying rivers.

dantesparda3886d ago

damn whats going on with youtube? did their video quality drop even further? cuz lately its been looking terrible. And p.s. I am not talking about the game, but rather YT's video quality

WarThunder3886d ago (Edited 3886d ago )

This video is heavily compressed....

This is not a proper Direct Feed the video is very low res even 720p on youtube....

Dee_913885d ago (Edited 3885d ago )

I do like that the tracks has time transition, but 10 minutes of the same track is underwhelming to me.The graphics and the ghost cars looks awesome.Looking at the speed and steering wheel, over steer and under steer going around corners, I can tell this game has alot of sim aspects, which is a plus in my book.But I bet they have settings to make it easier for casuals

is this the NEW replacement for Gran Turismo now??
GAMEPLAY LOOK AWESOME.

G20WLY3886d ago

Nope, we get this as well as GT, because we're very lucky gamers! :)

christrules00413886d ago

Well GT6 is on the PS3 and Drive Club is on the PS4. GT6 could be a year later on the PS4 or they might wait and just do GT7 on the PS4.

Retroman3886d ago

GUYS!!! was only asking. look competitive enough to roll with GT6 than forza

G20WLY3886d ago

^It's cool mate, just answering your question, both look good to me.

Ju3886d ago

I like that idea. A second high end racing title. Looking forward to GT6 and possibly GT7. But with the speed Polyphony is delivering Grand Tourismo, a second high end title to fill the gaps is most welcomed.

Minato-Namikaze3886d ago

GT is a sim racer and this is gonna be more acradey, although not as arcadey as Motorstorm.

I thought Codemasters said that nobody uses the cockpit view...

pixelsword3886d ago

I do; as a matter of fact, it's the only mode I can use when driving or else I'll over-steer. I actually hate driving in 3rd person, especially when it's a timed race (GTA and Red faction comes to mind).

Christopher3886d ago (Edited 3886d ago )

Not really impressed here. Not sure if it's the video quality, the alpha code, or the game itself, though.

Are the "ghost" cars your friends and their best race speeds/runs on the same track? If so, not bad for enhancing social aspect of the game.

Also, is there video like this of multiple cars racing at once?

RyuCloudStrife3886d ago (Edited 3886d ago )

Youtube vids to judge a game's graphical prowess? LOL

Youtube disgraces these games, the recent KZ:SF multiplayer video is prime example. Thanks to the user *thechosenone* who gave the link to the uncompressed video, I saw the full glory of Killzone: Shadow Fall.

And as I scroll these comments I am looking for another link to the uncompressed video file.

Christopher3886d ago (Edited 3886d ago )

***Youtube vids to judge a game's graphical prowess? LOL***

It was mentioned in my response above that it may be due to the video quality.

I downloaded the source video and it didn't look any better on my screen.

JackStraw3886d ago (Edited 3886d ago )

Filename: DriveClub PS4 Gameplay.mp4
File size: 247.37 MB

lol. okay @ file size. and you expect it to be real, uncompressed footage.
a truly uncompressed 720p video is going to be at least 60mb/min. 60*10 = 600mb = > 247.37mb.
a truly uncompressed 1080p video is going to be at least 150mb/min. 150*10 = 1500mb = roughly 1.5gb = > 247.37mb.

take the killzone shadow fall gameplay for example. it was true uncompressed 1080p (before yt upload) and about 6 & a half minutes long. 150*6.5 = 975, the uncompressed video file found here ( https://mega.co.nz/#!tZZQ2b... is 951.5mb.

take into account i'm estimating the average size of a true 1080p video per minute. other things should be taken into account.

so yeah, that drive club file you linked to is not even close to accurate for something that's uncompressed 720p+.

the reason it didn't look better is because it was the source file of an already overly compressed video, meaning, it's already been compressed. you need the original file before it went through several levels of compression (from fb, to video editor, to youtube, etc.).

Christopher3886d ago (Edited 3886d ago )

***lol. okay @ file size. and you expect it to be real, uncompressed footage. ***

Where did I say that? I said I downloaded the source video and it didn't look any better.

***the reason it didn't look better is because it was the source file of an already overly compressed video***

Yup. Thanks for stating the obvious.

You guys need to stop assuming when someone states the obvious that it isn't to support one thing or another and is just that, the freaking obvious.

Looks great. But i noticed that its a RUF and not a Porsche, wonder if they had trouble getting the licensing for Porsche.

Can't expect much from a free to play game. GT5 and Forza 4 look way better.

Not free to play? Then I'd just stick with Ps3's GT5/6

finbars753886d ago

It comes with ps+ for the ps4 free but not the whole game.I believe you have to pay to unlock the remaining tracks.

Transporter473886d ago

@finbars75

The full game comes with it, but there is some extra content when you get the full version, the ps+ gives you the full experience.

faysal3886d ago

if getting games with ps plus is free 2 play. then bf3, nfs, xcom, uncharted 3 they are all free to play right. according to your logic.

RyuCloudStrife3886d ago

Your logic sucks too, because those games became F2P MONTHS after they released.

DriveClub is becoming F2P the SAME DAY it launches on PS4, you see?

But you still have to pay for PS+, so it is only F2P for people like me who already have PS+, if you don't you have to pay for PS+.

faysal3886d ago (Edited 3886d ago )

ryucloudstife
do you even know what free 2 play means? it means you get to play for free anybody can download them and play it without paying anything... you cant do that with these games you dumbass! ps+ is service witch you pay for and as a reward for buying ps+ they give out game for the people who has the service! how hard is it for you to understand that? can i download bf3 since you said its free to play! can i? dont tell me i need ps plus! its free 2 play why should i pay for ps plus to get free 2 play games!!!! stupid... paying for a service to get games as a reward dose not make those games free to play!

RyuCloudStrife3886d ago (Edited 3886d ago )

PS+ pays for itself so indeed it is F2P. Do you not know the meaning of VALUE?

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.

darthv7294d ago

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.

Psychonaut8594d 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?

dveio94d ago (Edited 94d 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.

RaidenBlack94d ago (Edited 94d 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?

Einhander197294d 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.

shinoff218393d ago (Edited 93d 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.

dumahim94d 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.

Inverno94d 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.

shinoff218393d 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

Chocoburger94d 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_Sakai94d ago

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

EazyC94d ago

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