The tail end of 2013 is going to be a great time for racing game fans, with Driveclub, Forza Motorsport 5 and Gran Turismo 6 hitting the shelves in close sequence.
All three games look great in their own right, but let’s take a closer look at some of their screenshots to see if it's possible to crown a clear winner, and if Gran Turismo 6 manages to keep up with its younger cousins.
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.
A detailed look at Gran Turismo 7's new track Grand Valley, judging its evolution from its former design and layout in Gran Turismo 6, side by side.
Just got confirmation my PSVR2 is shipping by 24 hour courier, so I should have it tomorrow! I know nobody else cares, but I had to tell someone lol
GT7 will be my first game, as I want to test out my wheel - so excited - it's going to be awesome!
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.
GT6
Really disappointing to see that Forza doesn't have night time racing. Driving on a track as the sun slowly disappears and your headlights come on is really an incredible experience.
They all look good but from what i see Gt6 got this in most regards, except DC has more lush backgrounds. Forza seems to be using a super high gloss for their cars, GT6 Semi gloss and DC flat matte paint lol and in that lies the differences.
And article comparing GT6, Forza 5 and Drive Club?
Knew it was only a matter of time, but still:

GT6 looks amazing compared to next gen. To be fair, they have mastered the PS3 architexture whereas, the devs on next gen consoles will have issues the first 2 years of development. All these games look amazing.
