Yes...Uh, what framerate were you playing this game, 1FPS?

Oh that mysterious untouchable timeless classical beauty of Drive Club:
Yeah unfortunately I tried it. Everything is sub mediocre in it, especially handling and no 4k 60 fps wouldn't save it.Tell me you have never played Driveclub without tell me you have never played Driveclub
What?They have GT they didn't need two racing Sims. I'm personally not a racing sim guy but I can see why drive club had to go it was a good experiment
I personally didn't like it from what I tried.I still don't get why this game failed. Granted, I only played it once all the DLC was out, but still, game was quite fun. Imagine a PS5 exclusive DC2.
Who the hell called it Forza killer?
Game site called VG24/7 back in 2014.Who the hell called it Forza killer?
Some people in the media referred to it like that and you know certain groups will pick up on that like giddy little children.It’s so wierd that they completely erased every trace of it from PS Store, it would easily have made them quite some money over the gen. Not to mention they closed down one of their oldest amd recognized studios. I claimed Driveclub when it came to PS+ last gen but since then I switched accounts and now there’s no way to access it, it’s a shame.
Edit: Never heard of Driveclub being seen as a ”Forza killer” though. I’d say Forza was made to be the GT killer, and it turned out to be a pretty damn successful one to a pretty large extent.
Either way it was photo realistic had actual cars I've seen plenty of videos of people with racing sim set ups playing it may have had arcade elements but it was looked at as a sim.What?
DriveClub is a basic arcade racer (gameplay wise). The cars / bikes literally go faster DRIFTING through corners.
DC has never been created to compete Forza or any other game, but guess Xbox fanboys have to create their own fantasies to keep themsleves happy (even if it's with lies)
I’m not sure Sony ever called this a “Forza killer”, which is a pretty ludicrous claim when Forza was literally created to be a knock-off Gran Turismo for a console that didn’t have that yet.

Not quite, the best one is Assetto Corsa with Rain FX modIt’s still the best rain on a windscreen effect, imo.
Sure.They used the quote from an outlet in an official game trailer
Sony never said Forza Killer themselves, but they still used the VG24/7 quote in their trailer.Sure.
#Marketing.
But they never insinuated (nor did Evo) that it was their goal.
GT is obviously Forza’s competition. DC was, 10000%, an arcade sim.
I do cars. Been building and racing since the early 00s. DC << Forza… but to be above it was never the goal.
Sure they use some reviewers quotes to market, I guess I can see an argument for that being the “same thing”, but that’s not what I was intending to reference by that comment.
I'm sorry but Driveclub shits on Horizon, my cousin has his Xbox 1x over here with Gamepass on it. That game is fucking trash I cant believe I fell for the internets hype. Killer Instinct is the only game I can really rock with. Glad this is all changing soon with all the new exclusives from their recent publisher buyouts because they have zero creativity internally, all their hit IP became a success before Microsoft bought them. Xbox can finally be worth buying again but I'm just going to buy thier games on Steam instead, I already pay for PS+ no need for 2 game subs.

They failed with Motorstorm Apocalypse, the last thing SONY or Evolution wanted was to make another Motorstorm and try their luck again. Thers a docu on YT where they said they added everythign they ever wanted in a motorstorm game and had no plan or idea for a sequel after 3.Driveclub was too arcades for FM and too sim for Horizon. Not to mention, not open world like Horizon.
It was one of the first PS4 games I played. Truth be told, I was hiding the PS4 as a Christmas present for my oldest son and while he was in school I would break it out to play this game. But it got old quick. AI was too rubber band like and the gameplay was just too simple. Then graphics were nice though.
It’s a shame Evolution made this instead of Motorstorm.
Not with cars like Huayra and the like. It felt brutal, and that's what I loved the most. No other racer has done that for me sadly... I keep trying and all I get is the feeling you described.The driving felt lifeless and dull.
Almost like Sony's PGR. I played it long after intitial release and liked it. I find these kinds of racers way more entertaining than racing sims (so boring). I miss PGR...
Almost like Sony's PGR.
Driveclub was a great game amd glad it improved and sorted itself out, I know the real stories behind the scenes but cannot share lolDriveclub didn't fail Sony, Sony failed Driveclub. To announce a game as free to play and then decide to go back on that promise was just awful, and I don't think the game ever recovered.
Of all the hot takes I read today, this is the hottest.DriveClub is a basic arcade racer (gameplay wise). The cars / bikes literally go faster DRIFTING through corners.
^thisI still don't get why this game failed. Granted, I only played it once all the DLC was out, but still, game was quite fun. Imagine a PS5 exclusive DC2.
I only played the free version and every car I drove got better lap times, when I drifted through the corners. It's an arcade racer. Nothing else.Of all the hot takes I read today, this is the hottest.
Good luck completing the 'Venom Hot Laps' when drifting. Drifting is NOT faster - period
