DriveClub |OT| Corridors never looked this good
Reminds me how at the start of the gen so many people, and even media personalities were condemning so many games for not having "Next Gen Gameplay",
"Sure, it looks pretty and advanced, but the gameplay doesn't feel next gen".
Have we figured out what next gen gameplay means yet?

We should mix the last favorite with the new meme, Driveclub OT | ALWAYS BOLD, ALWAYS UPPER CASE, ALWAYS CORRIDORED.
IGN's Vince actually had an interesting set of tweets about this - whether or not you agree with his view. It's an interesting take. (This was in regards to Destiny, but can be applied to many games)
Good insight on the matter. I too have made errors in judgement similar to that which he's describing.

Lol how did u know it was there to begin with and thus make the trip to school??
Video looks amazing!! But I've never doubted evolution studios. Especially not after pacific rift. Still can't decide if I want digital or retail.
PS2-era was super frustrating in that regard. Overdone "lens" effects tend to be obnoxious.
It bugs me in every game that does it, regardless of genre, it's lazy, but more recently that new Need for Speed game had crap attaching itself to the screen constantly, it was needless, it's always needless!
Net on my phone. Not nearly fast enough to load videos though, thus I had to make the walk.

I think this criticism of the game being unimaginative is a natural result of the progress of gaming.
Whereas good graphics was good enough an excuse when Crysis released it doesn't cut it anymore now. Now there has to be some inovation for it to really to gain support.
Not that I agree with the criticism though. I'm perfectly fine playing a refined experience.

Same. Just because I've had steak before doesn't mean I need chicken next time - I'll never turn down another good steak!
Edit: i realize this is a poor metaphor i'm just hungry right now

lol. I don't want to be banned. D=
But I mean, this game is purely a next gen title. Horizon 2 is cross-gen. So I think that hurts it. I can just see it when I'm playing Destiny. So much held back. I know they can do more.

graphics seriously look real life
Nope, pretty sure it has no meaning. Next Gen Gameplay is a myth.
absolutely, showed it my uncle, he thought it was a racing movie ^^

I think it involves an Oculus Rift and Flesh Light.
Next gen is 8x SGSSAA at 60fps. We're still a gen away, unfortunately

I thought open world free to do anything anytime was next gen gameplay.
To me, next-gen is completely destroyable voxel based geometry with physics and simulated smoke and water effects.
Yes, but I'm being optimistic
That would be something! Someday ...

Transitioning from within the menus to the game is crazy fast. Wow.

The other thing about the "advancement" and gameplay arguments is that really there's only so far you can take the racing game.
Racing - you drive a car down a road and try to go faster than other cars. No matter what you do with the environments, backgrounds, etc, it's ALWAYS going to be steering a vehicle down a track to a destination. That's not something that can necessarily be innovated on indefinitely. Game modes and objectives can add some flexibility but as technology continues to improve you're going to have a hard time doing anything than simply refining the genre.

It's not about the Evo tracks it about them being base on real world locations and there are so many awesome looking places in the world to drive.
Most car games backgrounds look like crap so it's great to see them pick parts of the world and base stuff on it with all that detail.
While a course creator would be good i don't expect the tracks to ever look as good as evo ones so i rather evo spend time on that.
Maybe we can get one for DC2 after they get more assets .
Maybe UC4 ..

All of the loading seems really fast. From the stream yesterday you could see that restarting a race happens instantly, going from a race to the menus takes about two seconds, and loading a track takes around five seconds. I've never seen a racing game load as fast as DC.
Look, friends, that's the 60 fps argument!
Finally!
Graphical/IQ enhancements are an headlong rush, there's nothing like next gen gameplay.
