With no sign of the PS Plus version, this is the next best thing as you can now buy DriveClub preowned for just £14.99, making even the rather negative press seem less persuasive if you're desperate for a racing game on the PS4. This retailer is currently the cheapest around by about £10.
To be fair, things have seriously improved since launch, with most gamers able to connect to the online servers to enjoy multiplayer races and take part in challenges to earn points for their club. A recent weather patch also saw rainstorms introduced, and boy are they insanely gorgeous, much like the rest of the game. The Scotland tracks are now absolutely lethal though in the wet. Check out the new DriveClub DLC announced recently too.
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.
It'll be $5 by time we get the gimped version for "free*" now.
*$50/year isn't free.
But nothing beats free.
It's a used game not new.
great game and getting better with all the updates
But £14.99 isn't free.
They lied to us, simple. Don't trust anyone in the games industry anymore - you WILL be let down.
Im not one to think I'm entitled to stuff, but I'd rather they didn't go on and on about something for free and then never actual provide.
