i think a car combat game would not only be something they would be good out but also be a hit for them.

It'll be DC2. Though I'm expecting DriveClub to be competent, not remarkable.
They botched Motorstorm with Apocalypse. Terrible game. Kind of ironic that Playground has appropriated the festival theme for FH2 and made it cool, while Evolution started with it and ended up making it cheesy and stupid. They really lost out with that move. I would love them to return to Motorstorm Pacific Rift style though, but open world with night, weather, cockpit view etc.
As for Wipeout, some clown closed the studio down so I don't expect that IP making a comeback. To think DC could have been a much bigger, more comprehensive game with Liverpool working on it too.

Chocobo Racing 2.
Okay not really but DriveClub is my most anticipated racing game and I haven't played any racing game since Chocobo Racing (if that even counts), I would love an relaxed open world driving game around a beautiful vista and enjoying the beautiful visual graphics.

If I ever get to play a racer that looks like that I'll die a happy man. That trailer was like a dream being realized for me. Still liked the actual game, but that trailer. Oooh boy.
I just got home. I was at the local Driveclub launch event for the press and got to interview @Rushy (Game Director).
I asked about what was next for Evolution Studios considering they absorbed some of the people from the Liverpool studio, and lets just say that I got the PR lady's attention that up to that point was doing something on her phone. I asked if it could be Wipeout since the only platform that the title is not available on is PS4. They both laughed and told me that their focus is on Driveclub at the moment and that they could not say anything more. That was the last question I asked.
I think some of my questions caught them off guard and they were interested in them, apparently nobody asked those kind of questions. I did not get to ask two questions but I'll if I can get them answered by email through my Sony contact. Later today or tomorrow I will publish a full article on my site, needless to say I am very tired right now. I was there since 10:00 am .

Motostorm I guess. Driveclub will have a 2nd chapter for sure, but later. No need to say that...
...this would be a lot better, but since when Liverpool devs came to Evolution? I knew some were in Firesprite and the others at Guerrilla Cambridge. Maybe they were split all over the WWS XD

Physics are awesome, but the most impressive things were lighting, weather and sound.
Destruction was so beautiful yet so brutal and realistic. I did not get to see much of the social features since there were no clubs formed but there were some very interesting things, while racing you could see times that previous people did from one check point to the other and when you approached it there would be the other player's name and profile picture displayed. It was sort of like a HUD. I was really impressed and I have to say, what you saw at the reveals so far is accurate. I could see nothing that was taken out of the game except for the possibility to buy the cars instead of unlocking them, which was removed due to the community outcry on micro transactions, but had people waited they would have learned that each car would have cost 21 Pence! That is really not that bad!
The most important thing for me is that every car handles differently. I tried with both a TRS300 wheel and the Dualshock and was blown away! (The wheels were poorly calibrated though, IMO)

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
You have a very suspicious recent post history, sir.
Every DriveClub thread you've posted are skeptical remarks, and then you're gushing all over Forza Horizon.
Now you seem "concerned" that Evo is gonna get shut down... ?
C'mon son lol
That's nonsense. If you didn't like the inbetween "lolstory" that doesn't make it a bad game. Apocalypse was a phenomenal spectacle of a racer. Poor direction, but a riot of a game.
It's what's logical. They're sitting on a golden egg with Motorstorm. They just need to build upon the features, not try to "spice things up" by changing scenery every time. They could very well blend jungle and desert terrain with an open world design for the festival.

MotorStorm
WaveStorm
Jet MotoStorm
DriveStorm (combination of all vehicle types on an open world island, boats, offroad vehicles, super cars etc) Along with crazy weather like tidal waves, hurricanes, tornadoes, all that stuff.
I would love any of this. Closed tracks, open world, I don't care. I need some offroad or water vehicles in my life.

"Driveclub in Space" DLC.
how about enough of you?
get the fuck out of here with this studio closing down talk.
it's good though, the route you are headed... I don't think I'd have to worry about seeing your posts down the road.

Would gladly trade all future Driveclub and Motorstorm games for one, really good PS4 wipeout racer.
On the other hand, a remake of Motorstorm 1 (the best one) with: cockpit view only, massiv mud fest and craziness all around would also be great.

Believe.
No open world please. The only open world racing game I've ever completed was that new NFS game on the PS4, but half way through I was over it, and most of the events have remained incomplete.

Driveclub 2 since I'm guessing it may do well on PS4 worldwide
It will be more Driveclub because Sony will want to answer Microsoft's current Forza strategy. They will answer Forza and Forza Horizon with Driveclub and Gran Turismo. They even have it set up to match those games in frames per second (Horizon and Driveclub = 30fps, Forza and GT = 60fps). I mean it's basically why Driveclub even exists. The engine is good to go now, time to milk it for at least two sequels.
I see this being something real
