Evolution Studios made a gutsy move delaying DriveClub last year despite the reaction and backlash from racing fans, but with their recent updates and announcements for the socially interactive game, the studios gamble may just pay off in the end.
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.
Not really in to the fact that Driveclub is being advertised as a racing game even though its not really about coming actually winning the race.
Racing games are all about skill at the end of the day and though its great to reward drifters with achievements i there should be some special section for people who can actually win races.
I am waiting patently to play this, but looking forward to solo modes more than anything else. The multiplayer aspect is a bit worrisome.
Its so funny how my friends were going crazy after hearing Driveclub was delayed along with Watch-Dogs, difference is it looks like the guys at Evolution actually went and did real work on their game while Ubisoft undid most of the great things to dazzle us during their E3 promo.
i hope their gamble pays off. I know it certainly didn't for watch-dogs
When Driveclub was first shown it looked pretty awesome and the concept was cool...
...Then it was delayed and ever since all they have focused on talking about is graphics, graphics, graphics. The ratio of graphics to gameplay quotes and articles are shocking.
Not to mention things are still behind and going to be patched in after release like weather?!?
