Graphically this game is a piece of art. Driving around with the sun in your glaring upon your eyes makes for difficult situations, but small weather conditions like that truly makes you feel part of the game. The car selection is not as deep as we would like it to be, but the amount of detail put into each vehicle is something to appreciate. A big issue with Drive Club was the launch, since then issues have been fixed to make this a very enjoyable title in the racing genre.
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 is a new review structure for us and would appreciate any community feedback on it. Here is a link to our page explaining how we go about our reviews if you are curious or confused http://thefinalline.com/rev... Thank you and hope you enjoy it!
I still need to play this!
It's not a 71/100. In My Opinion it's more like an 8.5 or 9/10. I'll add, the Reviewer has asked for feedback ..that's what She/He is getting.
You cannot censor somebody's (Constructive) feedback, nor dictate what form that feedback takes. So people here need not leap like Lemmings to the Reviewers Defence.
Nobody has (Yet) attacked Anybody. But sometimes, you just shouldn't ask, and N4G does not have a very forgiving nor easy-to-win-over Crowd.
Final Line Advice. Keep it Simple, Maintain Integrity.
FEEDBACK 101 ;/
I love the game.
Peace.
An easy 8.
Fun-factor alone is quality. Like back in the day playing the 1st stage on Sega rally... trying to beat you or your mates best lap time. Add to that the graphics and polish.
IMO not every racer needs to be all about 500 cars ill probably never use and slight gear/drive-wheel etc... changes.
If you dont have fun with this game as single player and especially online then you dont deserve to review it.
Ps... im drunk.
