I feel like this falls into 2 categories. People who play mostly racing games and people who don't play GT or any Sim like racers. GT consumes so much time that I can't play any other racing games. I bought the crew an sale and played it a bit and I'm done. Otherwise there's just no time to play other games.

They should have never gotten rid of Driveclub and closed a very, very talented studio. They could've made their own Forza Horizon rival in Driveclub 2.

Ah well.

Exactly! Very short sighted.

Genuinely wish we had Forza Horizon 2 and 3 available for download still.

 

[LordOcidax]

Rebirth sold way better than this.

This game doesn't even have a month…

 

[tTHANOSs]

Should do really well in Europe where Xbox doesn't do so well.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Those a pretty good numbers, I'd like to know how oblivion did.

Yeah, probably one of the most short sighted decisions of modern Sony. Sure, there were serious launch issues and growing pains to endure, but the studio showed above else it could deliver quality and in the end I think that's what counts. A driverclub 2 could have set the arcade racing world on fire, but we'll never know.

Arguably Forza has been one of Xboxes best franchises alongside Halo and Gears of War.

Forza hitting Playstation is a bigger event than some here realize.

Same thoughts. Instead of need for speed, gran Turismo fans can play something similar.

 

[Little Chicken]

Hats off to Microsoft's philanthropy

 

[Icymanipulator]

thirst for arcade racers is real on ps5
gran turismo is not always the answer

Agreed. GT, while great, can often feel cold and clinical.

One thing I really liked about NFS Unbound for instant was the pedestrians around the city. Made the game world feel more alive. And while FH5 doesn't really have that, it does feel way more lived in then GT7

Good for them, MS is finally filling the gap that Sony intentionally ignored for years. As much as I like Gran Turismo it's not a game for someone who just wants to have fun driving cars in open world environments.

I think we do know LOL! 1.4 million on PS5 in America alone in one week says Driveclub 2 would have been amazing.

 

[Gamezone]

So this is working out for Microsoft?

Rebirth sold way better than this.

On The PC platform where Rebirth showed up as a late port, it sold significant less in 4 months than this has in less than a month.

PC isn't its main platform and SE would still be disappointed with this.

I am curious if this release will extend the time before FH5 gets delisted. I'll double dip on PS5 when they have their delisting fire sale in a few years.

 

[simpatico]

Best AAA franchise in gaming right now for me. Not much I'll look forward to more than FH6. Only the heaviest of hitters like a Elden Ring 2/Dark Souls 4 or another beast on that level.

Hate to see these lads wasting time on a woke reboot of one of the most confusingly overrated RPG franchises of all time.

In the process of going "3rd party+"........yes.
