Rushy33 is working overtime on dishing out the corrections on these haters. I wish them well with Codemasters.

itsmebryan3140d ago (Edited 3140d ago )

What haters? The game was delayed over a year and was released broken or did I miss something? It was hyped as a For a killer and didn't come close. That's not hate, it's just facts.

Silly gameAr3140d ago (Edited 3140d ago )

Yeah, you missed a crapload of improvements apparently. I don't remember it being hyped as any kind of killer, and Forza isn't a huge franchise, so I'm not sure why it would need a "killer" in the first place.

Skillz12153140d ago (Edited 3140d ago )

yea you missed a fantastic game...and its pure hate

fr0sty3140d ago (Edited 3140d ago )

Ah, Gaming Dolt...

"The lack of 4K blu-ray is apparently an issue for some players and we have done a through (can't even spell thorough) analysis on whether Sony can add it in the future."

Translation - They ripped off what another website (e-mpire.com) reported on the day PS4 Pro was announced, which was partially sourced from info about UHD discs that has been discussed by a guy named Jeff Rigby in various forums online for several months... which required no analysis at all on their part other than a quick Google search and the will to rip off other people's material without sourcing it. Who the hell do these people think they are?

yes sir drive club/sony did it wrong, they should be doing what ms is doing and keep releasing yearly forza games

see the different GT doesn't release every year
drive club 2 isn't happening anytime soon

launch a game than support it instead of releasing a newer one every fall

one GT game has outsold forza series and that's all that's needed to be said

and BTW many many AAA titles have launched with online issues so stop accusing drive club to be the only one. have you forgotten about battlefield 4. from day one drive club single player content worked but it's online needed some work and it was fixed

and let's not even get started on all the free after launch dlc which ms knows nothing about since forza season passes cost almost as much as a new game

blackblades3140d ago

Somebody tried to make a point here but ended up being pointed to the ground.

TheColbertinator3140d ago

@itsmebryan

You clearly lack any proper or updated information on the subject.

donthate3140d ago

neutral:

What support for DriveClub?

With the horrible launch and missing content, it's amazing you got that in the first place. Reminds me of SFV, also another game that released with a horrid launch to be fixed later masquerading as "support".

When Forza releases, I know I'm getting a full game! Because next year there is another game out, so MS better damn send out a working game and judging by critics, Forza Horizon 3 is this generations best racing game ever. I'm glad I get to enjoy it.

SniperControl3140d ago (Edited 3140d ago )

Hey donthate

Kinda reminds me of Halo mcc and Recore...........

Berenwulf3140d ago

It was never really broken. They had problems with the servers and online play which they fixed shortly after the release. The single player was always fantastic since the beginning. They had also such a great season pass with a ton of content.

badz1493140d ago (Edited 3140d ago )

Xbox fanboys will continue to downplay Driveclub for its initial online issues but failed to recognize it was already playable online in a months time and before the end of that December, they already patched in the promised weather. All in less than 2 months after release.

And they will defend MCC no matter what although it was still broken 6 months after launch.

DC is a solid game and a fun game to play off and online. Arguably still the best looking racer out there especially on console. Fanboys will downplay it for being a closed circuit racer but hey, not everybody is a fan of an unrealistic open world racer either!

Aeery3140d ago (Edited 3140d ago )

You miss a lot of things and DC is still one of the best racing game of this gen (imo). Challenging, fast and awesome to watch.

freshslicepizza3140d ago (Edited 3140d ago )

who exactly is underestamating the power of the ps4 pro and why is a developer WHO ISN"T taking advantage of the ps4 pro for its original game talking about it?

we all know the main reason the ps4 pro exists is to help boost psvr and if they didn't have to worry about the original ps4 then the game would not have concessions like less cars and less visual effects.

It was in their add and trailer that it was a Forza killer

C-H-E-F3140d ago

@itsmebryan
That's really interesting because Driveclub outsold Horizon 2. and was the better racer IMO especially after the patches etc. were added. The funny thing about driveclub is I played it offline first then played it online. So by the time I got online they already patched it up and it was functioning. I always enjoy my games offline first because I know once I go online I will never really want to go back to enjoy the offline experience especially with racers.

XStation4pio_Pro3140d ago (Edited 3140d ago )

Driveclub might be an ok game but it's certainly not a gearhead racing fans game. It's just too shallow and forgiving. The truth hurts some of these people. They made a lot of improvements on DC (I own it and am friends with people who worked on it) but it's still more of a project Gotham racing than a forza or gran tursimo competitor. Even forza horizon (the arcade forza) is exponentially more fun with more depth while not being as technical in the driving sim so DC loses there too. It just looks cool and that's about it.

KickSpinFilter3140d ago

Ya it released broken, but since the server update this game has been awesome, it's really a great game just a piss poor start. DriveClub VR is getting pretty good news out of people who have played it, and sweet there is a demo of it with 15 other VR games.

IamTylerDurden13140d ago

DC wasn't broken at launch, it actually performed well. However, the servers were broken at launch, big difference. I know you never played the game but do some research.

itsmebryan3140d ago (Edited 3140d ago )

@C-H-E-F
Justin Beber sales a lot more than other artist does that make him the best? Sales is not the only way to judge the quality of a product. How do you compare DC a game with very little content at launch ( only 50 cars) and missing the much talked about weather conditions to Horizon 2? Horizon has hundreds of cars that can be customized and upgraded and is a open world racing game with much more content. DC would be better compared to a track racing game like Forza 5 that even though it was released a year earlier have more content , is closer to a sim racer with customizing that effect car performs and looks and runs a solid 1080P @60FPS and DC is an arcade racer that only run 30fps. I was very disappointed as were others of this so, called FORZA killer.

Also why do you feel DC is a better racer?

Saranya3140d ago

I can see PS fans spam dislike to your comment.

Wallstreet373140d ago

Stop with the hyperbolic bs. To begin with Drive Club sp was not broken so the campaign worked flawlessly. What was broken was the online and months later it was working quite well and it s an awesome game, for many the best racer this gen. It got bashed for broken online that was fixed within months yet a game like Halo that had issues in campaign and who's online was trash and didn't work for over a year got a free pass.

Didn't come close to what? Foh with that bs in most aspects such as graphics, dynamic weather/cycles it exceeded Forza so let's not take your view as gospel or facts.

Kryptix3140d ago

Why are the Xbox fanboys worrying about a game that has been fixed & had updates plus free DLC when they should worry about that broken mess Recore. I'm waiting for my Gears of War: Ultimate Edition on PC to be fixed, too.

Driveclub as it stands today is the best racer this gen and DC VR is getting loads of praise by everyone who's played it.

porkChop3140d ago

I'm still waiting for a very important explanation. Before DriveClub released, Shuhei Yoshida said the game would not support VR because it was "too fast." Fast forward to today, and we're being told that not only will DriveClub support VR after all, we'll have to pay an extra $40 for it. Saying a game won't support something that players want, and then selling a separate version of the game that supports the feature people were asking for, is far from ok.

Ju3140d ago

It's a new game. What are you on about? Nothing in live is free. Get over it.

Red_Renegade3139d ago

drive club isn't exactly supporting vr. that's why it's a whole new game that you have to pay for. don't be one of those silly conspiracy people.

most realistic game this gen. so much so that all the forza and pc gamers could only attack the handling, which is amazing in itself. people equate open world with good racing. i like having a great race on a track more than an open world that doesn't require skill in order to race.

Blubby3141d ago

Realistic looking Ye, but playing? Hell no. Can you tune your car like every other racer? This game is a shell of a racer, even a puddle is deeper.

I prefer good gameplay over graphics all day everyday

neutralgamer19923140d ago

how could you know since you neither own a ps4 and never played drive club

nix3140d ago

youtube videos told him that. blubby is quite an expert analyst if you go by it.

Blubby3140d ago

Sadly I own a PS4, but thats okay if you wont believe me. Look at Reviews and ppl not 100% Bias. Driveclub is a Bad racing game with great graphics.

3140d ago
InMyOpinion3140d ago

I've played Driveclub a lot, and although it's an ok racer which grows on you I'd swap it for Forza any day. Especially Forza Horizon.

Blubby3140d ago

@opinion

Well, thats because xboxone discs wont work with your ps4

KickSpinFilter3140d ago

And it has the gameplay, as for tuning it's not that kind of game and I love it for that it's just about racing, and tech skills. The gameplay is not just handed over to you like most race games , ya gotta earn it and once you do you just see how amazing DC is.

sampson31213140d ago (Edited 3140d ago )

"Can you tune your car like every other racer?doesn't mean it's not real. just like"

no we don't tune our cars, but neither does the guy living down the street driving his Ferrari.
it doesn't mean Driveclub physics aren't good because you can't tweak the car settings. Driveclub, more than any other racer, makes you feel the weight of each car. man, i played all these games and for the life of me i don't understand how people try to compare FH handling to Driveclubs. they say driveclub is arcade, what the hell do you think the FH series is?

most of you haven't even played it. if you have, what's your psn name?

Each car takes approximately seven months to create – from initial licensing, reference collation, CAD data processing, asset production, physics modelling, through to the final car in-game.

"Driveclub, more than any other racer, makes you feel the weight of each car."

I'm a huge racing fan (both arcade and sim), and Driveclub has some of the worst gameplay I've ever experienced in an arcade racer. It feels like you're driving a brick. When it comes to car physics, some of the best I've seen has come from the likes of Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec and FlatOut 2. I can actually feel my tires in those games, if that makes any sense. I will say that Driveclub is still the best-looking racer, though, hands down.

Isn't handling the most important thing in a racing game?

UltraNova3140d ago

So Forza Horizon is a bad franchice because the handling is unrealistic aka arcady?

Dat logic...

Red_Renegade3140d ago

driveclub handles very well, so nothing to worry about.

DJustinUNCHAIND3140d ago

Just stop. The handling is the most important part.

Evolution got so caught up in making the raindrops that they forgot to make a game that was fun to play.

rezzah3140d ago

I think you got so caught up in the rain drops that you forgot how to learn to play.

sampson31213140d ago

please tell me your psn name, let's see how often you played Driveclub.

madforaday3140d ago

I am not a big fan of racing games at all, I got GT 5 since I heard good things about it but I couldn't get into it because of the customizations in the game. I had no idea what I was doing and I wasn't winning, so I couldn't buy more parts or whatever to do better. I also was horrible at it either.

I stopped playing it and never got into another racer until Driveclub came out. I was hesitant, but I read a lot about it, and loved how there was tons of tuning in the game because I did not want to deal with that. I want to race not to tune up a car for hours to make it perfect for one race. I liked how DC was advertised as a sim/arcade racer. I did pick it up, and I only played SP, I know MP had issues but that isn't the point.

I was awful at this racer too, especially when I got into some of the faster cars. I had a hard time with drifting and turning sharp corners when I had a car that wasn't great at drifting. Since, I didn't have to do stupid tune ups with my car I kept on racing to get better. I couldn't tell you how many times I redid the same event to get 1st or even 2nd..

Eventually, I got better, making each turn felt soo goood! I felt like I earned my 1st places and even my 2nd places because I know I raced well. I played many racing games in general, and if you mess up you could EASILY get back into the race and finish. In Driveclub that isn't the case, if you mess you are going to need to race superb to get back in it. That is the game punishing me for messing up, similar in Dark Souls which I loved.

Motorstorm Pacific Rift is still probably my favorite racing game of all time then probably Rush 2049, and what all those games have in common is you have to be good if you want to come in 1st. I don't want to play a racing game that is trying to make me come in 1st, I want to be the one in control, I do not want my hand held.

On that note, Horizon 3 looks amazing and I like the openness of it. I never got into an open world racer besides with Paradise which I didn't but my brother loved it. I been watching videos like crazy about Horizon 3, and I wouldn't put Horizon and DC in the same category. I have no problem having two amazing racers in this generation!

2600Thunder3140d ago

I am primarily a PC gamer and love the game and my PS4 exclusives, so don't be like the haters and throw those of us who play and love many platforms under one tent together because of a few vocal, unworldly, and uneducated nutbags.

Lamboomington3140d ago (Edited 3140d ago )

"most realistic game this gen. so much so that all the forza and pc gamers could only attack the handling"
good, I see you want to turn this also into a silly fanboy war. Good job, keep it up.

sampson31213140d ago

If someone attacks a game they've never played, what would you call it?
the game came out around the same time as fh2, almost every article the xbox fanboys were there in force to protect fh2. so [please take your head out of the sand.

the biggest argument as to why it wasn't a good racer was "it's not even an open world game" like a racing game has to be an open world game in order to be good. IT'S RACING! lol

trainsgofast3140d ago (Edited 3140d ago )

I know you guys love DC and it's not a bad game but lets just call it like it is a OutRun arcade game....................
FH3 is 100 times better than DC in all points. Why drive down a block when you can drive around the world?

sampson31213140d ago

you wouldn't be able to race a hyper car in driveclub. you would swerve this way and that way, then you would complain that "the handling sucks!" like others that didn't take the time to actually learn how each car drives.
fh is a hop in the car and go racer "arcade" and driveclub isn't.

i remember hearing people saying " the tires are too sticky" lol, you mean the cars have weight and you need to learn to drive.

EddieNX 3140d ago (Edited 3140d ago )

yh forza 6 destroys it tho, driveclub is irrelevant, nobody wants to play the second or third best racer unless you have to. Forza horizon 3 is un realistic but its still the best open world racer perhaps ever made.

Forza 6 is more realistic than driveclub and has better gameplay.

Wallstreet373140d ago

Go grab #eggies bolas and wait for your mediocre NX lol big boys are talking here about adult gaming, not fourty year old regurgitated IPS.

Yeah the devs are closed. Yet here we are with driveclub VR releasing in October.

Ex-CoD producer tells devs to “be more like Larian, less like Activision”

Rubin: "Thank you! A lot of games, Call of Duty included just focus on how to make the most money possible out of the player base. They rely heavily on FOMO marketing and EOMM matches. But I feel like it used to be just more about the quality of the game which would drive players to play. And that means making the game more player centric. i.e. less engagement based tactics and higher quality experiences for the players. Better maps, modes etc. In other words your game should have a high player count because it's good and people want to play it rather than people playing it because the game has a $250M marketing budget. Everything is just said is very simplified as it would take too long to really go into it. One last simple analogy. Be more like Larian, less like Activision."

Lol the producer of xdviant a cod clone in every shape and way, including the micro & fomo is piss off his game getting shut down.

Yet you work for another scummy company like Ubisoft that fight to flood single player games with useless battle passes, predatory microtransactions and to take away player ownership of the games they pay for.
