The team at Evolution have been busy ensuring the connected aspects of DRIVECLUB and its interface — dubbed the “dynamic menu” by game director Paul Rustchynsky — are seamlessly integrated into the game. These, in tandem with a companion app launching alongside the game in October, are what will allow DRIVECLUB to realise Evolution’s vision of a truly social racing title.
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.
Paul Rustchynsky, who was additionally lead designer on several MotorStorm titles at Sony‘s Evolution Studios, is currently working on an unannounced project as part of Avalanche Studios’ new Liverpool development team, which was formed last summer.
We're working on another new IP that's yet to be announced. There are more projects being worked on at Avalanche than most people would expect!

Nice. I really like Avalanche's Apex system, it can make some pretty stunning environments. Hopefully it'll translate well into a racing game! (assuming that's what he's working on)
Motorstorm 2 deserves a remaster.
The balanced monster trucks vs dirt bikes.
"To set some expectations, I'm not working on a racing game.
So sorry, no DRIVECLUB sequel, MotorStorm successor or ONRUSH offshoot.
This is something very different to anything I've worked on before"
So it will not be a racing game. That's a shame. :(
Damn, i hoped a DC or Motorstorm sequel... :( let's see what they can pull out from the hat.
It's funny that Driveclub is the only Racing game that gets bashed by haters for being 30FFP, but nobody says anything about The Crew. And don't come up with the ''It's an open world racer'' excuse. FPS Nazis have said 60 FPS must be the standart on racing games. If this was true, this shouldn't be the case with NFS rivals, The crew, and more.
What's even funnier is seeing Xbox Fanboys bashing the game for being 30FPS when their precious Forza Horizon was 30FPS too.
You can't win againts people with Tinfoil hats on their heads I guess.
Oh wait... I just remembered this is a Playstation Exclusive. NO wonder it gets too much hate...
Drive club is shaping up a lot better than I would have Ever thought (minus the 60fps though). But if they nail the cockpit view/ physics/handling then I will be bought. Really looking forward to this.
; D
YES! I was worried by the footage i'd seen that the passing of time was too quick so its awesome to know we can adjust this as we see fit. Looks absolutely beautiful!!!
Does anyone know if you will be able to shift gears manually in Drive Club???
This game is shaping up insanely well. If the driving mechanics can keep up with the visuals - and audio (?) then we are in for a treat. Can't wait for this game.
