VVV: "The higher you maintain that speed, the more points you’ll be rewarded as you take that next corner. So there’s always a trade-off: do I just get sideways, scrub my speed and get a lot of points on that first corner and then struggle to build my speed back up to try and get a decent score on the second corner? Or do I just try and do an average drift around the first corner to keep my speed up so that I can really hit the second one? It’s quite tactical – there’s quite a lot of depth there, so we’re extremely proud of that.”
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.
Damn this game looks average. No wonder delayed because of forza 5. I except this to get around 70-80% metacritiv which is good and forza continue to be highest rated racer around.
This social stuff is my only beef with this game.
You know, there are lots of lonely single-players around... Hopefully Driveclub and Destiny will be fun to play solo
Game seems to be great, actually. The problem is with the article, that reads like we are witnessing a revolution of the racing genre.
Community based challenges, other driver's ghosts, specific challenges popping up at different parts of the track.. That has all been done in Forza Horizon some time ago. Treating it like it has never been done before is just wrong.
I hope Driveclub's merits reside in its handling and track selection (in its case, roads and highways).
