It has plenty of games in that it will be home to the best versions of third party titles. What games do the wii u have and xbox one that's exclusive I can only think of one each on those consoles that stand out.

All of a sudden 2 games for the Wii U and one rehashed HD collection for Xbone means that the PS4 sucks this holiday season?
Damn, GAF. Damn.
You should do that irrespective of the outcome of reviews.
Forza Horizon 2??
Probably which is why I'm willing to give it another shot. I've gotten much better at raving games since then. It's also worth noting that I really enjoyed those challenges in game when I was in far last place, it gave me something to shoot for. instead of just trying to finish I decided to focus on beating the other scores on the track.

Disappointing, but I will definitely try out the PS+ edition to form my own opinion.
edit: I wonder what would have happened if it had been released last year.

Nail in the coffin for Evolution Studios?
Sounds like Driveclub is a bigger bomb than Motorstorm. And Motorstorm was already bomba material.
Should have gone with a reboot of one of their fun racers. I'm sure a new Rollcage or Jet Moto could have been more successful.
Imagine Rollcage with the power of the PS4.
Sony already has a racer with realistic cars (Gran Turismo).
No need for Driveclub.
Well, at least I've got my retail copy for 19 bucks. But still, hype deflated.

Opinions have been extremely divided in the gaming world of late, this does't look to be any different. I'd hazard a guess that you're likely better at driving in this game than some of these other journalists too, hence not having as much of an issue with things like less comprehensive driving lines, rewind features, collision penalties etc.
TLoUR, Resogun, Stider, Trine 2, and the superior console versions of games like AC4 and (next month) Mordor are keeping me plenty busy in 2014. I haven't even found time for Infamous yet.

I don't really see where you're coming from on this. It's like seeing an open world game review poorly and saying "I hope this doesn't deter developers from making open world games".
Besides the visuals, Driveclub has looked lackluster from the very beginning.

Yeah, I think I'll stick with the free PS+ version.
If DRIVECLUB was released in its current state when the PS4 launched I think we would be looking at a much better reception. Unfortunately for DRIVECLUB A lot of people have been playing the Crew Beta and even more have been playing FORZA Horizon 2.
While I might have been severely disappointed if I had gone retail, now I feel as though I'm getting a pretty decent racing game for free.

My copy is out for delivery. Hopefully my impressions are closer to the higher end of these reviews.
It's a surprise because so many previews gushed over how much better the game was as a result of the delay.
Jeff did not like it on giantbomb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fqA9LLbIWg&list=UUmeds0MLhjfkjD_5acPnFlQ

The reviewers are more dissapointing that the game... now the menus are bad... and they looks just like the GT menus...
A racing game that exceeds at racing... but is bland and poor... WTF
I'm done with gamestop, just for the reviewer voice tone you already know that he don't give a fuck about the game.

Looking at the average review score it's doing about what I thought it would. Some reviewers are going to dock it for things that have nothing to do with the actual game (e.g delays, Change in development staff). As with most new IPs this gen, I'm sure the sequel will be even better. Until then, I'll enjoy playing this game.
Forza Horizon 2 just came out

I didn't really enjoy inFamous SS and I'm playing the shit out of Driveclub
DC is PS4's best exclusive.
Guilty Gear Xrd is the best game coming out this fall.
Damn, not great.
I preordered the PS+ upgrade earlier today and am looking forward to it though.
That'll depend more on the sales than the reviews.

I'm not saying Driveclub is getting scores lower than it deserves because I haven't played it, but so many of these reviews sound like Driveclub doesn't play like Forza so it's not as good.
From a general standpoint, am I wrong here?

Who is in charge of their first party stuff?
It's not bad to be disappointed but menus. Remember the PSAS threads?
Just watched your review Blood. Seeing as you're a true petrol head when it comes to racing games, I take your review as gospel!

It's Ready at Dawn's game. SSM is just assisting.
Eurogamer has writers who fawn over the PGR series and adore racing games. So who do they give it to? Neither Martin Robinson nor Tom Bramwell. Instead, a writer for "Outside Xbox" who gave F1 2013 a better review and in a preview for Grid 2 lauded the inclusion of a "story mode", something Driveclub obviously doesn't have.
I wouldn't be so disappointed if it had been either Martin or Tom who'd given that rating, but for someone who doesn't seem to have a good record covering racing games (least of all on PS4) then it's highly suspect.

Is it going to remain the home of the best versions? Or is it going to be the home of parity versions?
Sony exclusives tend not to review all that well, I don't get how this is seen as a failure though it has mixed reviews just like fh2 and destiny yet I've been loving those two.
Worked again, I knew it.
I'm becoming a magician or reviewers are incredibly predictable.

I'd guess a 5/10 from GameSpot.
I can't believe this to be honest. Grid is brilliant simcade and hopefully Dirt will get back to doing what it does best on the current gen.
I think there's room for all of them, I also think that the game needs to be confidetn as to which space it fits into.
If there was a PGR 5, it would be hyped beyond belief and I'm sure in the hands of its legacy devs (Playground, Codies, Sumo), it would be a brilliant game.
Part of me just wants to see diversity in games instead of brown-em-ups and sports franchises.
This is OUR pastime and we need to celebrate it and fight for it. Reviews for a AAA like this are bad for our hobby!

What's the last game Jeff liked? Persona 4?

That will look and play exactly the same on the PS3, no?
Go play Horizon 2 then come back, the PGR is strong as fuck in that game, especially in the city tracks at night

Other than Grid and Project Car and the big 2 (Forza and GT) circuit racers have died down, in favor of open world racing games.

I wondered about this from the months of gameplay footage - the flashy trailers looked exciting but each gameplay clip was very similar - it looked like they were teasing the visuals and holding back the real meat of the game, which was some kind of in-depth career mode. I guess not.

Which is open world not the same thing .
I knew that was going to effect reviews but did more than i thought it would for some of them.
