He should be worried. Compared to fh2, project cars, and even the crew, driveclub offers very little other than great graphics. It only has 50 cars on top of it. All the other have at least 200. I was super stoked for driveclub until the details kept coming out. I'm sure it will sell but people like myself have checked out and are already pinning hopes on project cars. I see driveclub hitting the discount bin pretty quickly unless they plan on greatly expanding it over the next few mon...
@ice you're absolutely right.
i would agree. I mean... personally I love indie games (in general) but I'm more about playing them in between major AAA titles or when i need a break from them. honestly though, I didn't really buy a ps4 or xb1 with indie games in mind. Obviously most indie games don't push the hardware in any substantial way and thats totally fine - they don't have to do that to be a good, quality game - but at the same time thats not what I bought the new consoles for. I could have had a ...
"next gen" isn't just resolution.
right. I was just referring to people that I have spoken with in the industry casually off record. nobody really knew but there was a feeling it would probably be on both systems even if it came out on ps4 first. though i wonder if that happened if MS' stupid parity clause would then make it ineligible for x1 release or if thats only in place for indie titles.
i heard the teaser was a ps4 exclusive but the full game would be available on both systems. dunno if its actually true. i'm definitely buying it no matter what though.
i've had mostly favorable experiences with PSNow, but I would still prefer the games be executed locally rather than streamed. I have a really fast connection and would on occasion experience lag and even at its best, the image quality still had a really fine residue of compression. not terrible, not a deal breaker, but definitely there. My biggest gripe has been price but I'm fully aware that pricing will most likely be in a perpetually fluid state depending on market demands.
I thought it was brilliant on all levels. Creepy and engaging to play. excellent visuals and atmosphere, intriguing, an excellent example of viral marketing done right and its better than watching a gameplay trailer as you actually get to have the experience.
even if it does, which im not necessarily agreeing with, Project Cars will be a completely better package. DC is way too stripped down and simple, even if it does look pretty.
well... you can argue "quantity" but when it comes to game options i think quantity is usually a consideration of quality or at the very least value... unless horribly executed which is pretty unlikely considering the franchise and the dev team.
To be completely honest, neither of these games really interest me personally. i think F2 will offer a more rounded experience but my heart lies with the sims and neither of these titles will scratch that itch for me.
agreed. i like the fact that in forza you can damage your car to the point of not even being able to realistically finish a race but it kinda seems more like they dollop damage into areas that make sense and then kinda just slow the car down. i think its great that things like alignment etc get knocked off but imagine if your tires were blown or blew while racing. that would be some dramatic stuff to deal with and would add more realism
But this is the thing people on here don't get about graphics. It's not the Rez, it's not the fps, it's not even how many things are being rendered of how big etc. This game nailed some of the next gen stuff I was talking about. The full use of hdr lighting, excellent ssao, lens blur, film blur, depth blur, motion blur, chromatics,caustics, ray tracing etc and then high res textures. This teaser looked freaking real at times so to me this absolutely a showpiece. If this is a d...
Holy crap the teaser was freaking tense. This is the most creeped out a video game has ever made me. Well done.
DC practically is pgr. Just more social
Haha as I was saying. Drive club looks good but that's pretty much it. No depth. Just sparkle.
he is right about gamers feeling really entitled to things. i blame millenials. The official generation of "i deserve this somehow".
lol
FINAL-F'ING-LY.
they already have that though. something thats normally multiplat that they would buy exclusivity of. :)
I agree. When you strip away the graphics, you're left with a shallow racing game that offers very little engagement or replay value. I'm sure it will be fun for a short period but I'm going to assume that like dirt, pgr, grid etc I will lose interest quickly. The great thing about forza5 and gran turismo isn't just better physics, it's the depth at how much you can tune and tweak, buy and sell cars, customize them. Like a proper sport game. Half the strategy is knowing w...
