CVG's Gamescom team is hitting the show floor hard to get hands-on with the next-gen titles available at the event; they managed to spend some time with Evolution Studios' DriveClub, tearing around the racetrack in an Aston Martin Vanquish.
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.
This game is sooo sexy (talking mostly as a result of yesterday's trailer)! Graphics and lighting? Amazing. Can't wait for this.
Very, very smooth. The lighting is looking pretty damn fine as well.
I hope the controls get improved before release. Is it just me or does this video make it look like there's no middle ground to steering? It either looks really twitchy 1 second & then really sluggish the next. They've got plenty of time to tweak it, I hope they do by the looks of this.
I like the street level view best... When he drove off road, the weeds on the side of the road were the most realistic plants I've ever seen in a racing games. I know it's just weeds, but if there is that much attention to detail on weeds, the rest of the game will be impressive.
Would like to see a direct feed HD video of actual gameplay.
Regardless, i will be getting this from the PSN on day 1.
