Support NeoGAF

[Ray Wonder]

Yukky stream. Almost not worth watching.

 

[Deadstar]

Needs music during the races or mp3 support. If I can't race to turn down for what I don't know what I will do.

For anyone saying the game is boring go to youtube, type in Metallica Enter Sandman and adjust volume accordingly. Go back to stream and enjoy.

Alternatively insert your favorite Prodigy track.

 

[Summer Haze]

It looks really bad.

The textures lack detail.

The car models look rough.

Even the environments look messy.

I hope they can up the resolution.

It just looks so blocky right now.

Lol, I almost fell for this one.

ps4 can't do AF. game looks so blurry

 

[R3TRO]

The sound is good especially the tire squeals but everything else looks mediocre. I'm still keeping my preorder though.

 

[mangochutney]

It's clearly sub 720p stream here, so not quite sure how you can judge the graphics like that.

I saved the past broadcast and it was 540p.

They got the Lærdal tunnel, nice!

 

[bananafactory]

Eh, people are entitled to their feelings.

It all completely depends on what you're looking for in a racing game. DriveClub will scratch the itch for many people, Forza Horizon 2 will scratch the itch for others, Project Cars for others still, and even The Crew may be more to some people's flavour. There's also gonna plenty of overlap with these games, so it doesn't have to be one or the other, but for some, it might be.

I do expect to see plenty of FH2 vs DriveClub arguments in the coming months, though. They both look to be extremely competent games, both coming out in the same release window and both exclusive to rival systems. I hope a bit of sensibility can be had with all this, cuz while there will be a fair amount of people trying to say their dad can beat up your dad, some people truly will just have an honest preference, even if its gonna be very hard to determine which is which at times, so best to play it safe and not immediately assume the worst.

This is a great post and I completely agree. I have both itches and I'm sure I'll also pick up FH2 when I grab my Xbone eventually

 

[Camp Lo]

Troll somewhere else.

How the fuck...

 

[Always-honest]

We are now in the point every game must be open world?

Hell no.

 

[Rogue_element]

Troll somewhere else.

that was hardly trolling . Its an opinion. Get your head out your arse.

 

[RoKKeR]

We are now in the point every game must be open world?

No, who was insinuating that? I just hope the road tracks here give us enough variety.

 

[Cheddahz]

umm, so which one is it?

Well, here's a comment that keeps on getting posted

how come Microsoft is never able to win a gen? While Sony is about to win its third (PS1 + PS2 + PS4) and Nintendo also won some

People have preferences and I wish people would realize that and not fantasize over a "console war", because people are just consumers and they really shouldn't care that much about a "console war"

 

[lukeskymac]

Trolling = anything but positive?

Trolling = "It's bad", not ellaborating, then going on your merry way.

 

[Loudninja]

Damn aggressive.

 

[spwolf]

It looks really bad.

sound is bad, cant hear the public at all.

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

umm, so which one is it?

Both actually. I entered when there was a long stream of comments about SonyGAF and Xbox One being better, but the Sony defenders came pouring in soon.

[Data West]

Them snowcaps make this seem like a Christmas morning kind of game.

Is this game all 'race car' racing or do they do muscle cars and whatnot?

Hmm

SONYGAF - DriveDud GOTY 2014

PS4 has no games only inies like DriverFLOP

Yeah, definitely it is a pro-Sony chat.

 

[Anion]

Comment section gives me an impression of a gang fight lol

 

[Serick]

I'm actually leaning towards Horizons 2 after seeing that stream (not worried about the graphics - it looks kind of lifeless...).

 

[dripdripsplash]

I remember GAF having a Forza v GT thread.

Might be an idea to have a Forza Horizon v Driveclub thread if it's going to derail each and every single thread as it does at this moment.

 

[BrainZEROX]

Looks fantastic, sounds amazing and I read it plays very well.

I. Can't. Wait.

 

[Game4life]

Sigh.. Thread gone for a toss. Console nationalism is serious business it looks like.

 

[Branson]

Some people need to recalibrate their senses after playing this...

That is literally one of the worst GIFs I have ever seen. Like hoooly shit.

If I had an Xbox One and a steering wheel I'd play Horizon 2. I have a ps4, a useless steering wheel that doesnt work with PS4. So DriveClub is a maybe.

 

[potam]

God. The sense of scale with that mountain at the end of the last race.

 

[Calabi]

It needs Dubstep and random explosions, without them its only a 7 out of Ten for me.

 

[nib95]

Some people need to recalibrate their senses after playing this...

Off road racing is nothing new. DriveClub isn't going for open world arcadeyness a la NFS, Test Drive Unlimited, Crew, or even GTA etc, it's going for track based simcade like PGR, GRID, Shift etc.

One is far more random and imprecise, almost over the top and crazy, the other is more refined, focused and honest. Both I'm sure will be very fun, but will achieve it in different ways.

these are not race cars, lol.

Music is off by default, just turn it on in the settings. Soundtrack is by Hybrid.

 

[opticalmace]

Agreed, can't wait to play it.

 

[Returners]

Oh man I love the comments.

 

[Waaghals]

I saved the past broadcast and it was 540p.

They got the Lærdal tunnel, nice!

Well, something inspired by it.

They'd spend 10 minutes inside it if it was actually a part of a track...

 

[Apath]

Love the fire works at the end. The game looks great, though the environments feel a bit dull.

 

[Auctopus]

Oooh, 'stormy' weather. Here we go.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

The sound is good especially the tire squeals but everything else looks mediocre. I'm still keeping my preorder though.

I just tuned in and saw him drive through a valley and up a snowy mountain.
It looked incredible even though the stream quality quality is bad

 

[reKon]

The chat is stupid as hell. I'm going to assume that 98% of the people saying something NeoGaf are lurkers, lol

 

[Lambtron]

Soundtrack is by Hybrid.

God dammit. This is easily the most appealing thing I've heard about the game.

 

[Insane Metal]

It looks really bad.

It just looks so blocky right now.

I agree, and it also looks so gamey.

 

[Nafai1123]

Might be an idea to have a Forza Horizon v Driveclub thread if it's going to derail each and every single thread as it does at this moment.

There is one, but clearly it isn't working.

 

[Always-honest]

Love the fire works at the end. The game looks great, though the environments feel a bit dull.

The environments? They look insane imo.. .

 

[Ingueferroque]

What is with all the Horizon talk in here?

 

[R3TRO]

Looks good at night.

 

[dragn]

the chat is cancer

 

[nib95]

We are now in the point every game must be open world?

Just fanboy fodder from mostly the regulars. Variety is the spice of life. Racers have been both open world and track based for the longest time, no reason that can't and won't still be the case going forward.

 

[djplaeskool]

the chat is cancer

So, it's typical Twitch chat then.

 

[KyleCross]

Man, all those anti-Sony trolls in that chatroom.

 

[Data West]

Can you turn off the cosmetic damage? That always bugs me. I'm sure I'm in the minority on that.

 

[Cornbread78]

Oh God, the "concern" posts already. .

 

[Atlas157]

Man, all those anti-Sony trolls in that chatroom.

How else are they going to vent their buyer's remorse?
