DC threads are too much....

Haha. This is great. Regardless, it's such a stupid term. XD
Shit, and I thought it meant DC had really clean corridors.
Pfft. No clean corridors, no buy.

To be fair, people were finally getting their hands on FH2 yesterday with the demo. It's made a very positive impression, and it offers some unique elements we haven't seen in other racers.
So then the DC stream shows up hours later, and sure enough people begin comparing the two.
Leaving FH2 completely out of this, I think it's fair to say Driveclub is offering a very standard track based racing with great graphics. I don't think criticisms of that fact are unwarranted. It just comes off as a very uninspired product. It's main bullet point feature is that it's a "team based racing game", with challenges interweaved. In this day and age those sound like features you'd just expect to be in a game of this type, with other bigger features being the headliner.
As if I would care how this sounds to you but yes, I am always curious to see what effort designers put into a game. I always liked the "no clip"-mode in fps games to explore and see more of a map than you usually get to see.
And I do so for my own pleasure to see how much detail devs spent on a game, even in areas which other people don't care for.

No thanks, I'd rather give credit where credit is due.

If folks just stopped repeating the same joke/counter over and over again and ignored the drive-by posters these threads will actually become enjoyable to read.

Err an adjective such as sterile can have more meanings than just clean. And you're thinking of sterilized when you describe clean

This really should be the OT title. Maybe add "with no weather at launch".

What does this mean? If you take graphics out of the equation, what games could not have been done on an N64 or PS1? Hell, the original Final Fantasy on the NES was open world.
Are we all going to start crapping on NASCAR because its a corridor racer?

WTF who came up with the term Corridor Racer? Did this term come up because someone really doesn't like DriveClub? I mean have people not played GT series or the older Need for Speed games?!
Seriously, if you want a track racer this is the game to get for the PS4 this year. My god... some people...

Well you proceed to ask him to be more constructive than saying "its sterile" and the you use sarcasm, which is opposite to constructive and doesn't develop your argument further.
For what he meant by sterile, its the inability to produce fruit/offspring. What is the fruit of gaming you might ask? Well, fun, joy, time well wasted/spent, impressiveness/ satisfaction, etc.
Uninspired in that it doesn't allow for traversal off tracks? Will I have to wade through
this pointless complaint for every circuit racer from this point onward?

Of course you don't. What is an "inspired" product? Does taking standard racing elements and getting rid of the track inspire it? I bought Fuel and Test Drive Unlimited 2, both sucked ass. Are they inspired? The bottom line is both DC and FH2 are exclusives which makes this a proxy for the console war, despite hiding behind rationalizations like calling a game uninspired for keeping the cars on a roads.
Didn't they say that some of the trailers were made purely with the game's own replay mode tools (by the same person who did PGR trailers). I remember reading something like that.

Corridor racer should definitely be in the OT

That's not what he said. He said uninspired as in no defining feature. "Just" a circuit racer.

I meant that one true bottleneck for hardware is open worldness. Wouldnt you agree that GTA V with its massive map and detail and AI and physics and what not would have be seriously compromised if it were to run on a PS2?
Right so what headliner features should it be having then?
Looks like Mario Kart.
According to these posters, driving on tracks is an outdated design choice.
Because apparently blitzing through corn fields is an inspiring paradigm shift in the
racing genre. *rolls eyes*
Sir. I would never ask someone to be constructive on a forum thread that invented the term 'corridor racing', got me into a conversation about the grammar of 'shit' and made me aware of the concept if auto braking in racing games.
Tush and fie at you, sir. Take back your comment, sir, and take this arboreal protrusion the body of which is covered in the faecal matter of dogs with it!
(It wasn't me who asked him to expand on it btw
)Looks blurry.

I fully expect Forza 6 to get rid of tracks then, unless it and all FM games are uninspired? I mean who would drive $400,000 super cars on pavement?

"Open worldness"
To be fair, I am getting sick of corridorishness in games.
To return to the topic slightly, I still don't know if Driveclub is for me but I'm sure I'll buy it. I think my brain thinks I like driving games more than I do because I spent a huge amount of time in forza last generation and I'm still not sure I had any fun doing it. I'll probably Day 1 because...my brain isn't me apparently

I'm pretty sure someone said it "looked like it was on rails" in a previous thread? But I can't confirm it,
I'd like to know as well. What headliner features should the spiritual successor to PGR have?
I would buy a Wii U to see a Mario Kart with an Overlook hotel level where one of the hazards was gallons of blood pouring out of a lift and scary twins.

FH2 has better IQ and more corn.
I did somehow. I said that after timer is up, you're put back in the corridor.
Sure it is.
And the scary lady from the bath tub. That scared the living s*** out of me when I was a kid.

See this is what i mean, how is it right for him to be bashed for not expanding his argument but when i expand it for him i only get sarcasm in response?

okay...what other racing games that are circuit based racers can you get for the PS4?

I can now say that I have been in the thread where a new trolling term has been born.
'Corridor racer'
'Corridor racer'
And for that matter, what other racing games have team-based/clan racing? (honest question as I don't know)

Look at those repeated textures
Huh? I said sure it is.
