Driveclub releasing October 8th, new trailer

Forza 5 - 16 cars on track, 60fps.
If Driveclub can do that and look this good then yes.

If it's just eight cars and lots of pretty lights for 30fps, then the devs made the same choice that devs make every generation with every console. Pretty vs FPS

That just makes me wonder if you've ever played a racing game with day/night cycles if you think that they're are nothing more than graphical effects. There's no genre that day/night cycles benefits from a gameplay perspective more than racing games.

It definitely was NOT made 60 fps or have major game changing modes or features adjusted.
Booooooo.

30fps in racers is understandable if it's open world, but track racers like this...really wish they would have bumped it to 60.

My money is on The Order being delayed until 2015, we all know how this works.

So then Sony's 2014 lineup would be a port of a 2013 PS3 game and a game that was supposed to be a 2013 launch game? Ouch. I really hope not, their lineup is kind of pathetic WITH the Order coming this year.

Evo's trailers are all downsampled, pre-rendered "in-game" footage. Calling it CG is not that far off.



The only thing they ever showed to the public was single-car time trials. Think about that.
And Sony showed Tlou multiplayer like a day before the game came out. And it wasn't even trash. I kind of expect their weirdness.
 
Now that it's coming in October. Originally they were saying weather would be an update patch when the game was coming out at launch. Now can we expect weather to already be in the game since it's coming 11 months later?

Looks Great.

Rushy is this in-game capture or replay capture?

That was some ugly shit.

OT
Sony delayed the f**k out of that game to the point where I really don't give a shit about it anymore, lol, way too much waiting.
Would have been a great summer release.
 
I was expecting better graphics, so maybe they are shooting for 60fps now? Maybe it was just the youtube compression. I'd like to see a less compressed trailer for sure.
 
Edit: This is also confirmation GT6 is not being ported to the PS4 this year, which was something Kaz and company hinted was possible last year. lol

I actually wonder if that was a mistranslation because every time he was asked after that he always said that it wouldn't happen because they'll move directly to GT7.

So the PS4 is outputting higher than 1080p? They did say "All footage captured from PS4".

Take all of these trailers with a grain of salt, and wait until people are playing it at e3 and doing direct captures during gameplay. Microsoft said the same thing about forza and we know how that went. Replay shots (or photo mode or whatever it's called) are also not representative

Don't Forget Project Cars comes out in November for the PS4. A nice combo for a racing fan. Sim/Arcade ish and then a full sim one month apart. I am very excited for both.

A Wednesday ?

It's a Tuesday in US and Wednesday in EU , probably to work in with the store update days for PS+

Sony have been confident enough to show gameplay all year , see all the I:SS pre release stuff. Isn't Jett a troll account anyway ?
 
The only thing they ever showed to the public was single-car time trials. Think about that.

Not truth before the game got delay we have few replays races that had up 7 or 8 cars on the tracks .
We also had a replay showing the day and night cycle speed up .

EDIT also Congratz Rushy .

If your going to delay a game for 11 months, at least one of these two things had to have been added.

1. 60 FPS
2. Weather

If neither, its going to be rough. Especially when your main competitor (Forza Horizon) will be coming out around the same time with an open world environment. Doubly so, if they add one of the aforementioned things.

Wow. A whole year late.

The fact that they felt the need to push this all the way into the fall, has me more worried than ever about Sony's exclusive lineup for the fall.

Edit: This is also confirmation GT6 is not being ported to the PS4 this year, which was something Kaz and company hinted was possible last year. lol

Yeah, because Sony won't announce any other games for Fall release at E3.
 
C'mon.

DriveClub looks better but not an entire generation difference.

I wouldn't even say it looks better at all, although it's still a great looking game, but the important part is it's finally back from the shadows. Hopefully we'll see even more of it before E3, I'm hoping for some actual gameplay videos with multiple AI opponents.

Life simulator?

That week will be fucking intense. On top of my head: Alien Isolation, Shadow of Mordor, and Batman come out that same week.

Wasn't Batman delayed into 2015?

This game better be a success, more PGR-style games make the world a better place.

The compression in that youtube trailer is horrendous, save us Blim.

Anyway, awesome news that we now have a release date. And massive props for taking the time to polish instead of throwing it out in an unsatisfactory state last year.

Pretty
late

I do think it's cool Sony allowed them to delay this long, but I still feel like they knew ahead of time it wasn't close to shipping on time, and they willingly mislead racing fans, which would really suck.

I think that's apples and oranges. I think their engine just wasn't ready at all. Single fucking car time trials, which couldn't even hold 30fps. Who knows if it's ready still. DC honestly is a pretty strange "next-gen" racer. 30fps. Doesn't have rain or snow effects. Doesn't have extensive car damage. Doesn't have proper crashes. In many ways it seems kind of old fashioned.

So the PS4 is outputting higher than 1080p? They did say "All footage captured from PS4".

Means nothing.

I meant playable to the public, not tiny-ass 5 second facebook videos.

I wouldn't be surprised if Uncharted was a 2016 May release with the changes made... might have added morpheus support. If they have a Driveclub demo at E3 with Morpheus... Mind blown then

Oooh keep wondering, I like mystery.
 
Damn. That pretty far off. I was hoping at least summer to fill in the summer gap. Really must have been in a bad state that they need all that time.
 
Looks gorgeous, I just hope it's not at the expense of framerate, because a racing game not at 60 fps is a racing game I don't want to play.

Time to light the *Blimblim signal* to get a Gamersyde version.


Also we need somebody to make an actual photoshop of the Blimblim signal.
