DriveClub VR: What Videogame Racing Should Feel Like

DriveClub VR could become the racing experience PlayStation 4 gamers had always been hoping for.

man, i can't wait for this.

[IRetrouk]

Yeah it looks fantastic, this, gts and a few others are gonna be well worth the investment.

[LackTrue4K]

I believe that is will be the next step for all racing games. Vr support, much like mostly all racing games support racing wheels. This need to be the next stander.

This game is looking impressive!

[Scatpants]

I'm not even buying Forza Horizon 3 unless it has VR support .

[SniperControl]

Been playing games like Project CARS and Asseto Corsa in VR for years now, will never go back to playing those games on a 2D screen anymore, VR is a massive game changer, cant wait for DC and GT Sport on PSVR.

[Shakengandulf]

Definitely love to try it.

[rainslacker]

Same here. Between GT:Sport and DC:VR, I am on the fence on which one I want to try first. Despite DC rocky launch, it's become a pretty amazing IP, and kind of sad that the studio got shut down, but at least Sony is still pursuing the IP.

Not sure I can handle two different racing games at once. I tend to get into them for longer than the average game when I first play them.

Sounds cool.

So excited, loved driveclub so cant wait to play this version.

[Silly Mammo]

This could be a VR system seller.

[Tobsesan]

Project cars can already be played via VR, saw noone hyping that up.

[iwin86]

Because Driveclub VR was build from ground up with VR in mind.

Digital Foundry's author played a lot of racers and according to him Driveclub VR is the most immersive
racing game. Even before Project CARS and Assetto Corsa.

[Scatpants]

It's no different. You're in the car in VR. Same thing.

@Scatpants
"Simply put - this is the most immersive racing game we've played in VR to date. From Assetto Corsa to Dirt Rally all the way to Project Cars, it's clear that the gorgeous visual design of the original DriveClub allows the game to stand above its more technically demanding peers. It's a classic case of software design triumphing over hardware limitations."

Hopefully that helps...

[EpicSandwich]

He's testing it against real bad racers though. Wait until forza 7 drops with occulus support then you will see a real racing game.

[kraenk12]

^^ so desperate...

lmao classic

[MasterCornholio]

Not on PS4. So that leaves Driveclub VR and GranTurismo Sport VR.

You do know this is an article for PS4 gamers right?

@bruce

Eonjay posted after I did. But his quote makes it even more exciting. No wonder people are excited for Driveclub VR.

[DigitalRaptor]

Oh man.... the PSVR detractors are going to be working overtime come October.

[joeorc]

What interesting, this is just one game...there is another fact people asked are Sony going to support the PSVR...?

I think this answers that question handedly.

[TwoForce]

You don't get it. Driveclub VR is build from ground up.

[MagicBeanz]

Maybe because that's NOT what video game racing should feel like.

[rainslacker]

I never see people hyping up Project cars that much around here with or without VR.

Maybe it has more to do with the IP?

[kraenk12]

Dat salt though.

[blackblades]

I prefer 3rd person view cause it easier but for fun vr with a racing wheel would be awesome.

[rainslacker]

I tend to use 3rd person, because I feel the lack of being able to tell where your car is on the track makes it harder to know when to actually turn into a corner.

VR gives you the sense of depth perception, and positional awareness that is missing from a 2D display showing a 3D image, and greatly improves on this.

Played VR racing games at work, and I can say, the reasons I find most distasteful about 1st person or cockpit view in the typical way we play, are all but gone with VR. It's really completely different in terms of overall sense of surroundings.

[Scatpants]

I can't even play flat racing games anymore. Dirt Rally, Project Cars and Asetto Corsa in VR ruined that for me. There really is no comparison. It's like the only way to play racing games.

[iwin86]

@ scatpants

"It's not the same game."
So you are saying that Racing Sims like Assetto Corsa & Arcade Racer like Driveclub don't feel and behave different ? We are talking about immersion in VR.

Did you got the opportunity to play Driveclub VR in Germany ?

[MagicBeanz]

VR on the best looking racer this gen, NICE!

[Lilrizky]

One things that excites me for VR are genres I don't usually enjoy on standard screens like ravers, on-rail games and simulators.

But I think VR will change a lot of people's outlook on certain genres

[ABBAJESUS]

Sounds ebin.

[King_Lothric]

Digital Foundry said Drive Club VR is the best racing experience in VR right now surpassing those on Oculus and Vive.

They said they couldn't believe PSVR could deliver better experiences than Oculus and Vive but after Drive Club VR now they are believers.

Pretty amazing.
