The Dutch website Gamer.nl has looked through the filed trademarks from Sony studios and they found out that Evolution Studios (of Motorstorm fame) have registered the trademark 'Drive Club'.

Source

They filed the trademark on February 13th 2012 through the website of United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO, serial number 85540921). Earlier there were already rumors of a new racegame from Evolution Studios so this fits in nicely.

The source is in Dutch so I've extracted all information I could extract from the news item.

Hopefully we'll hear more about this game at the Sony conference today!

Apologies if old or not thread-worthy.

UPDATE: Trademark taken offline. That was fast!

Evolution making a racing game. News at eleven.

Sounds legit. Time to go dark for three more hours.

twinturbo2 · Feb 20, 2013

This could be that game that was going to wear the Gran Turismo branding before Polyphony said no.

And this could be the game that the Project Gotham Racing lead coder is working on.

Someone hold me, I'm shivering from the potential awesomeness.

And here is the link to the Drive Club patent.

I'm secretly hoping for a new Motorstorm, but anything from this studio should be interesting.

GeoramA · Feb 20, 2013

God dammit. Plz don't leak...

twinturbo2 · Feb 20, 2013

If this game is 1/1000000000000000000000th as good as PGR, this might be a system seller for me.

Between this and the rumored PGRV, I may have a reason to keep gaming in the next generation...

2 hours and 48 minutes.

I am going to laugh if they show off another CGI trailer like Motorstorm's.

Just go on a media black out for 3hrs, it's the only way...

Yes, seriously. I think the Motorstorm series sucks. I'm glad they're moving on to something else, and I'll be there day 1 to see if its an improvement.

Absolutely hate the title.

Pumped for the game though.

I would really love a Fight Club karting game.

Sounds reasonable.

Sounds awesome.

Vol5 · Feb 20, 2013

Evolution are frickin' awesome devs. This will be an above average game.

Parallax · Feb 20, 2013

i thought that it might be a reboot of the jaguar game, but thats club drive. so im optimistic

Pistolero · Feb 20, 2013

Dark City! I approve, kind sir!

RSTEIN · Feb 20, 2013

Sounds like something similar to Forza Horizon.

There was never a bad motorstorm game.

Smiles and Cries · Feb 20, 2013

yes! Racing games are the reason I want a PS4

Moz La Punk · Feb 20, 2013

Trademark seems to be offline now?!

dallow_bg · Feb 20, 2013

Sounds like the first party F2P game.

Lucky for you, they never made a bad Motorstorm game and probably never will.

Hoo-doo · Feb 20, 2013

Dudes from Bizarre Creations are working at Evolution now?

Someone hold me. PGR3 and PGR4 were the absolute pinnacle of arcade racing.

Could've easily released it under Motorstorm name. That or if Polyphony wasn't so butthurt about the name Gran Turismo...

I think they're split out across several devs now. Aren't some of them at Playground also?

No doubt.
Not sure about 'Drive Club' though, will it be the name of the game or a community aspect?

Mr_eX · Feb 20, 2013

At first I thought this said Club Drive and I got really excited that they were rebooting that Jaguar classic

Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew · Feb 20, 2013

On second thought, it sounds like a feature and not a game, similar to that of Autolog.

EDIT: Anyone has a copy of the trademark?

noobasuar · Feb 20, 2013

Sounds like some super casual driving game...

I wonder if Sony will try to push a'lot of casual IP's on us.
